Firenze4ever Part I

Firenze4ever

For those of you who don’t yet know, I was selected as the winner of Polyvore x LUISAVIAROMA.COM Style Guide Challenge. I was chosen to attend Firenze4ever second edition with fashion bloggers from all over the world; and today, I have just arrived in Florence. Although I lost my Coach Pouch with Chanel Half tints [sorry dad!], name cards, and various toiletries, I am still full of energy.

The city is full of life, beauty, classiness, and of course the streets and sidewalks are illuminated by every designer name you could possible think of. Even from the taxi I could spot an endless sea of stylish well-dressed people flooding the sidewalks and even the street; which my driver was not very pleased with.

Arriving at my hotel in Piazza Della Sinorgia I was breath taken by the beautiful statues, fountains and architecture…and of course the giant CHANEL store facing my hotel which especially for me was the view right outside my hotel window. The hotel is gorgeous vintage-style and all the rooms are named after Renaissance men. I stayed in the Leonardo room.

Today was mostly for us bloggers to get settled in, and only in the evening we had a “Welcome Aperativo”. Already at the hotel, I met a blogger called Nels Frye from Stylelights.net, and we were the only two staying there. Hopelessly trying to figure out what time it was without wifi was almost impossible [somebody, pull out the sun watch]. Thankfully, the front dest found a small battery operated alarm clock to lend me.

At around 5:30 we walked to Via Roma which was a short 10 minute, increased to a 15 minute walk due to navigating my 140 Louboutins out of the spaces in the cobblestone. Walking into Luisa Via Roma I was trying to keep my jaw from falling to the floor…Balmain? Lanvin? Burberry Prorsum? Mulberry? Giambatista Valli? Christian Louboutin? Sergio Rossi? Did I die and go to heaven??

No, just the living equivalent of dying and going to heaven…
