The End!

Through all the ups and downs I've gone through in Italy I wouldn't take back this experience for anything. I will always remember the memories I have made, the lessons I have learned, and best of all the friends I have made.

Italy has been good to me and there will always be a place in my heart for it. 

So for now it's Ciao until my next journey!

Mcqueen's Warrior

So this may not be a window display but I just love the head dress!

Leave it up to Mcqueen to be so cutting edge.

Starry Night in Dior

From the colors to the moon, it's just so Van Gogh!

Ferragamo's Chocolate Dreams

Who doesn't love chocolate?

Chocolate brown is always the perfect color for fall!

Castro's 70's

The 70's!!! My favorite Era!

I love everything from the prints to the tammed afro wigs.

Lights On In La Rinascente

Oh so girly!

Gotta love La Rinascente and their different approach to displays!

Gardening in Benetton

The water pots are so cute and creative. I love it for a kids display.

The Elegance of Valentino

Oh Valentino!

Such beautiful, timeless elegance. The dress says it all.

Zara Takes Off

I can't help but to think of airplane seats when I look at this window display. Mix that with the "lights, camera, action" scene and you have yourself a movie.

Chained to Diesel

Chains over your face? A little creepy but it's so Diesel!

Countryside Bershka

Wilderness is quit a popular theme this winter and Bershka is never behind.

Looks like a cute little countryside home to me.

80's Velvet

Who doesn't love the 80's?!

I love Velvet's muted 80's inspired window with a pop of color.

Guess Grung

 

Oh so icon. Guess is always known for it's sexy grunge appeal but they took to a street level this time. They used brick was to tune down the powerful sex appeal of their clothing. 

Coin of England

 

Oh Coin!

I love their use of bold colors and old school art. Coin is always cutting edge with pop art.

Miu Miu Geo Art

 

Miu Miu makes a bold statement!

They mixed the boldness of old geometric shapes and girly ruffles.

Sisley Anime

 

With the growing trend of Chinese Anime, Sisley took it to a new level. She is rocker chic, uncommon in Chinese Anime, and they mixed it with dark feminine lace. What a great spin.

The House of Panda

Cutest darn store in all of Milan!

I'm pretty sure the inspiration for this store is very clear, pandas. You can find this store a few blocks away from the Duomo, and I feel in love the minute I saw it. They don't offer very much, just a few pieces of jewelry and everything is panda inspired, but I found their visual display to be so creative and fun. I will definitley be returning to this store to see how often they update their store.

Cola Dreams!

Venice is full of glass art work and this is one of the cutest displays I saw while there. These shoes are made from glass Coca Cola bottles, and if you look closely you can see the words, Coca Cola. I loved Venice because it was so full of creativity and beautiful art, and this is a great examply of creativity at it's finest.

Too Cooky Not To Post!

I stumbled across this crazy little store in Venice. They sell mens coats that are all hand painted and on of a kind. It was very psychedelic and out there, and also very expensive. On the way out I decided to snap a quick picture of the entrance and decided I just had to add this to my blog. I did not catch the name of the store but I will never forget it!

Prada: Fine Tailoring

I love this Prada display because it shows the art of tailoring that goes into creating a fine Prada suit. I also think it is important because it reminds the customer of the time and quality that goes into making a Prada suit. This window has such a classic elegance, which Prada seems to always have, and I love it because they could re-use this concept in 10 years and it would still have the same affect.

Snakes in Roger Vivier

How can you not think of a snake when you look at this?

This is a window display for Roger Vivier in Milan that is display shoes and small leather goods. I was probably first attracted to the sparkling, metallic silver and then approached the window for a closer look. I think this is such an innovative way to create an eye catching display. It can sometimes be hard to do so with a store that does not sell clothing and that is why it is important to use props, like the silver piper, to fill up space and catch customers attention.

Sharp As Tom Ford

Just gotta love Tom Ford. This display is featuring ties and behind the ties there are shine blue scissors. Why scissors? I have no idea, but then again I never have a clue why Tom Ford does what he does but I always love it. I also love the use of electric blue because it is so refreshing against all the fall neautrals most stores are displaying.

24K Bottega Veneta

Being the shoe fanatic that I am, I was instantly drawn to the gold metallic shoes!
I will admit that the window display it self is not that interesting but I had to pay tribute to a beautiful set of shoes. I do however love the wooden blinds in the background and the use of simple clean lines.

Versace Disco

Who wants to go to the disco? or we can just go to Versace.
I love this window display because it is just so Versace. They aren't following the trend of boring fall colors, instead they are spicing it up with in your face bolds. This window display has to be inspired but the night life of a big city. I love Versaces ability to be fierce and always own it.

Ralph Lauren: Pink Pony

What girl doesn't love a pink pony?!

It's hard to tell in the picture but yes the horse is pink. That's probably what attracted me to this window, since my favorite color is pink. When I looked at this window I instantley thought of a unicorn. I think this is such a cool window display because it really represents Ralph Lauren. 

Moschino Pumpkin Gallery

Moschino was also inspired by the Halloween season. I thought this window display was very cute and eye catching, it definitley made me look twice. I dont' really understand the concept behind it but I think it's super cute!
