Fashion Show in Milan


















 


Hello friends, the last weekend in September I went to Milan with some friends. The main reason was that one of my friends is a photographer and she was going to take photos of the fashion show of Italian designer Francesca Liberatore.

I was super excited to see a fashion show as it is next to impossible to see one, it was held in the Space cinema, which is basically next to the famous Duomo. It was a really great place to hold a fashion show. 

The music, models and clothes were all really fabulous and I really enjoyed myself. It lasts about 15mins and rather hard to take any decent photos, but I tried.

Afterwards some of the models were hanging around outside the cinema and some of the photographers were taking their photos and talking to them.

I hope you are all well and had a lovely weekend. It's crazy to think it is nearly November. Next weekend the clocks go back a hour, something I don't always remember.

Take care, Emma

Rome in July

Colosseum




Roman Forum

Roman Forum

Victor Emmanuel  II





River Tiber



Piazza Navona


Borghese Gallery and Museum


Last summer I visited Rome with my friend Arlene and it was my fourth visit to the city. Suffice to say it is the last time I will go there in the summer. Yes I knew it would be hot but it seemed to be hotter than usual.

We saw the outside of the Colosseum, we walked by the Roman Forum, saw the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, Piazza Novona, Piazza del Popolo, Borghese Gallery and Museum and Campidoglo. This was lots of walking and stopping for refreshments.

My next trip will be to Berlin in February, which I am looking forward to, Alessio hasn't been before so will be planning stuff that hopefully he will like.

Enjoy your weekend

Rome By Night













Yesterday late at night I returned from my weekend in the Eternal City, Rome. It was a fun weekend with my friend Arlene and her daughter India.

It was so, so hot as was the rest of Europe too, but it seemed hotter here somehow. Anyway here are the night photos I took of the city. The last 7 photos are from the Piazza Navona, the rest were taken on the way to Trastevere, an area in the city.

Now, I have one more day to work and then we are off on our travels again. This time to Scotland, looking forward to this trip.

Have a lovely week
