February in Milan – Events to attend in Town
Happy Valentine’s day! – in two weeks. Is that really a thing here in Italy? What’s she talking about? Well, it’s Valentine’s month so allow me to ramble a bit on this topic – I’m curious. Thinking back to the two Valentines I’ve spent here, I don’t remember any frenzy as compared to back at home. Do Italians do Valentine’s day?

August 2018 in Milan: what to do.
The Ferragosto Month of August is finally here! While I am excited because of the holiday that comes along with it, I have been dealt with pretty badly by the heat. There is that saying that you can’t have it all right? Alot of places and events will be on shutdown in Milan. This is because a lot of business owners escape to other cities more cooler and with the sea. If you would remain in Milan, remember to shop ahead for food and other necessities so you don’t get stranded! As you may have imagined, I would be escaping the city to Tuscany’s seaside.

Local Habits & Events to Indulge in Milan this July
Two things that make July unique are the many concerts and fruits. I have been eating a lot of fruits lately and making homemade smoothies. Do like a Milanese and enjoy summer vegetables all through July. Forest berries, wild blueberries, apricots, and melons are in bloom. You can survive the summer heat with fresh juices from fruits and prosciutto – that do not require any cooking whatsoever. As you may already know, July is a very busy month in Milan as there would be a lot of concerts. For this month, I have handpicked some events happening in Milan that may prick your interest.

Well well, look at a beautiful representation of spring I found on my way to lunch🌼 ~ Follow my page @girl.in.milan to learn more about my life in Milan, Italy📍…

Milan Fashion Week AW 2018 | Charming Chanel Joan Elkayam Collection
After days of deliberating what angle to take on my experience at the recently concluded Milan Fashion Week A/W edition, I decided to tell it exactly how I experienced it. The runway show opened with a dreamy song pouring over the speakers. I felt the goosebumps rise and I was immediately taken to lalaland. I fixated my eyes on the aisle, with my phone held high in the air – ready to capture. She walked down the aisle, looking like she just walked right out of the song pouring from the speakers. I instantly felt connected to the music and style. It had just begun, but I could tell I would love…

Milano Carnival 2017 at Piazza Duomo
Milano Carnival starts after the Italian Carnival ends. It is typically called “Carnevale Ambrosiano”. Usually, in Milan there is a day parade and a night party in Piazza Duomo. The Carnival holds every year in March, with a whirlwind of beautiful costumes worn by both adults and children. The sweetest aroma of chiacchiere and tortelli fills the air. Carnival is the perfect opportunity for locals and visitors to taste traditional food, like sweet chiacchiere, available in the city’s pastry shops (called pasticcerie in Italian). There were a lot of activities at Duomo Square to celebrate the Carnival in Milan last weekend. Some of the activities included a street parade with clowns, jugglers, and music.…
