Thanks to Al from On Location Photography for a job well done! No worries AL, when I open my lingerie shop you can have first dibs on photos!

Ti Amo
- A group of brides walking down the street along the Arno
- Romantic Graffiti
- Here comes the bride
- Bride with a lace top
- Dress with beautiful detailing
- View from Piazza Michelangelo
- Bridal Couture
In the past week alone I have seen seven different brides posing with their grooms among the romantic piazzas built during the historical Renaissance. Florence you can say was at the height of its time during the Renaissance, a time of rebirth where famous artists Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael simultaneously created masterpieces inspired by the classic and romantic era of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Perhaps because of the strong historical background of the beautiful city, people are drawn to Florence. I saw two brides within 30 minutes of each other posing in front of the sunset on the Piazza Michelangelo, a well known hill that looks out over the entire city.
Made In Italia
While I am here in Italy I will be spending four months traveling throughout Italy and Europe and studying the art of jewelry making, observing the anthropology of fashion and hopefully absorbing the fundamentals of the romantic Italian language, all while trying not to rid myself of my entire life savings on fabulous fashions.
LDM (my school in Italy) must have predicted my arrival because I was lucky enough to be housed on the street of the most popular Firenze leather market. Being awake for over 27 hours on my first day in Florence instead of sleeping I decided to become more familiar with my neighborhood. Not only do I live right between the historical Duomo and Capelle Medici but I also live right around the corner from the largest leather market.
I must have been in a haze from not sleeping on the plane, but no the market down my street was for real. There were hundreds of people shopping, mainly tourists from all over the world, while vendors wishfully tried to persuade the shoppers to buy something that is probably overpriced.
This is when the art of haggling will come in handy. Although I haven’t quite mastered the art yet, I did get the chance to bargain. Today during my break from my 5 hour jewelry making class I browsed the market where I fell in love with a metal cuff with earth tone stones. While a language barrier can be an issue, I was able to haggle my way into spending only 8 Euro instead of the original 15 Euro. Hopefully with a little more browsing I will soon be able to haggle my way into buying a beautiful genuine Italian leather handbag.
