Outlet Shopping in Firenze, Italy

Walking into the bus station gave me a flashback to 2004, my first trip to Firenze. I woke up from a night out to find my two roommates upset because the other girls in the group left them behind. So being the adventurer, I found a shopping outlet an hour and half outside of Firenze. Not speaking the language we managed to find our way to the bus station and brought tickets. Later, that evening the entire group met up for dinner to talk about everyone's day. The look on their faces when we walked in draped down in our designer goods was priceless. We were the talk of the night not even the tour guide knew about The Mall.
Now 10 years later,I am here once again, I came a long way just to shop. This time the bus is full of eager shoppers with big suitcases from all over the world. A round trip ticket fare is 10 Eur and buses leave every half hour or every hour. The Mall had just open in 2004 so there wasn't that many store open yet, but I found me a pair of Gucci sandlal for about $70. I hope I can find another deal like that this time.
This place has change their are many stores now.
OMG the Gucci and Prada store are huge.
 
After all that excitement it's time to sit and eat.
 
I found some great deals, me and my girls will be back next year.

Shopping in Firenze is the best, it was worth the trip. Stay tune to find out what I brought.

Diva on the move in Paris

Waking-up in Paris I was so excited, to finally be here shopping in Paris, I never imagine that I would be here all alone. After, getting myself together to stroll the fabulous streets of Paris, I decied to walk the 2.5 miles to my destination instead of cabing it. Words could not express the feeling of excitement, joy, and antisapation of shopping at Les marches Catherine B. Being able see a great Vintage Chanel and Hermes Collection in one place is great. I have read many things about Les marches Catherine B they only buy Chanel and Hermes pieces that are no longer in production. After getting lost, decied to duck into a cafe to rest my feet and eat lunch. To my surprise I was only 5 min away from my destination. When I arrived, the door was locked but I could see people inside. I taped on the glass an a very handsome man open the door and preceded to tell me that I could come in I needed to make an appointment. My heart dropped, oh hell no, I did not come this far to take that. I politely asked if I could make an appointment he gave me his card and said call later but he is not making any promises. I am so disappoint but I am not going to let that stop me.

The next day I called a few times no answer, so I waited and called again! Being persist paid off, when I finally reached him he told me to come by now and off I went

Achat Imme'diat was very charming we talked about vintage Chanel and my Collection. This place is fantastic, it was worth the wait the Collection was amazing and now I know what I should be adding to my Collection.
