Thanks to my fabulous collegue Anita I was recommended to go to Milan to watch DSquared show, so I took couple of editors with me. Although sickish and feverish, after celebrating my postponed B-day celebration until late Saturday night with my fabulous girlfriends, I was excited to pack and get ready for Milan Fashion Week.

Early in the morning, despite couple of traffic violations and a downpoor of rain, I managed to pick up one fashion editor and meet second one on airport and not miss the flight.

As soon as we came and dropped our bags in the hotel we (read I) decided to explore Milan and find good local restaurant for lunch. Weather was beautifully sunny so walking around was a pure joy! Both of my editor guests had some original Italian pasta and I had pizza with rucolla and mozzarella.

Then, I took the ladies to interview Pantene's global ambassador, celebrity hair stylist Sam McKnight who not only is a great hairdresser of many celebrities like: late Lady Di, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Uma Thurman, Sienna Miller, Drew Barrymore and Penelope Cruz, but also makes a great organic strawberry cake!

Sam designed hairstyles for many designers shows during recently finished fashion weeks. He did: Tweenty8Tvelve, Moschino Cheap and Chic, Brioni, Jaeger and most importantly DSquared which we went to see on that rainy Monday morning.

We hang out with Sam in the backstage.
Bellow are Sam's selected messy bow look for DSquared show which is not that hard to do at home. :)

If you want to try any of Sam's looks, there is a video tutorial of some on a side of my blog posts.

Dean was also getting beautified before the show.

Hair and make up girls were multitasking, while general mood in backstage was very calm and relaxed but also buisy (maybe cause of the parties night before and we were all sleepy).

We had couple of hours to shop and to see Milan, to shop and visit Corso Commo the whole city was living for fashion these couple of days, you could smell it on the street, see it in the store windows and see it in fabulously dresses Milanians.

Gray fedora from H and M

Doors T-shirt

Jean Top Shop button up shirt

Top Shop skinny jeans

Naf-Naf sandals

Earlier mentioned Italian food was not all of the great food we ate, the following day we found great Sushi restaurant and after we missed our flight back we decided to comfort ourselves with some great Asian and Indian food.

Although we missed our flight back to Zagreb due to traffic jam in Milan and had to get up at 3am to be back in the office on time, we had a lot of fun, we interviewed Sam and had a short coffee with photo blogger Facehunter and managed to see the show and feel the fasion rush during Fashion Week in Milan.

Xoxo darlings,

La packing pour la Milan!

Ok, I got it together. This should be simple and fast, NOT!
I shall start packing. Here is the list:

Passport
Laptop, iPhone, cell phone (my lifelines and I promised Cro bloggers I will send live pics)
My moleskine (it always make's an appearance - show off!)
Longchamp shopper bag (practical and familiar - I carry it every day)

Jean shirt - cause it goes with everything and it can act as a jacket on nice weather

My black leather high waisted mini skirt (if who ever of my friends I borrowed it to responds to my facebook plead to return it by Sunday! Thanks in advance!)
