I fall so in love with a restaurant or bar that I literally wish that I had created it. The bar at the Bulgari was the kind of spot that would make me say to myself, "I wish this place was mine." I do that sometimes. In fact, on two of our nights we didn't even leave the bar! If I was still in Milan, I'd be there right now. This of all places in Milan became our nightly stop. And most important of all, they have a fantastic bar that is clubby and chic, where the people watching is unparalleled and the experience unbeatable. I mean, who doesn't love a tasty surprise treat when returning from a hard day of shopping.
They also leave all sorts of yummy treats in your room for you throughout the day, something that kept us excited to return to the hotel each afternoon. It is a sleek and modern hotel with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, friendly and helpful staff and uber-comfy rooms. We rationalized that travel to Italy is an excellent opportunity to do some culinary and wine research, to hone our Italian wine palates, and basically kill two birds with one semi-professional stone.Īfter flying for a total of 17 hours, including layovers, we checked into what is now my new favorite hotel, The Bulgari in Milan. I really didn't want to go on this ridiculous trip alone, and at long last, my assistant Christy signed up to join me, as she too loves this kind of stuff. Even my husband, who is usually up for travel and who can often find business to do in almost any city in the world, had to turn down my offer of Italian travel. Most of my friends have better things to do, like work. Now because most sensible people will not, on a whim, plan a trip to fly across the globe for a total of four days (including travel), it was hard to find a compatriot to join me on my fashion adventure. So why not go and get a brief insider view of the whole thing? And in Milan no less. I'm just saying that I love all of the glamor and beauty of the fashion world and am fascinated by the way the business of it all works. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I am dying to change careers and leave the restaurant world.
So, when I was invited to the Marni fall fashion show in Milan, I jumped at the chance to do something so incredibly indulgent and frivolous and fly to Italy to be a part of the world that I am so obsessed with. In truth, I'm an enormous hoarder of clothing, someone who probably needs a clothing intervention, and look at the contents of my closet as the container of my "collection". And to be completely truthful, I use the words "a bit" in order to make myself feel better and more balanced. Now, anyone who knows me well, knows that in reality, I am a bit of a clothes horse. I adore looking at designer clothing, photos of fashion and red carpet arrivals and dream of having the opportunity to wear things that I have no reason to ever wear. This may sound silly, I know, but deep down (or maybe not that deep down at all) I have always dreamed of being involved in fashion.
