Broken embraces

You will go and watch the last Almodovar movie

because he is this one director to make Penelope Cruz extremely beautiful

because he is this one director to turn perverse and dramatic situation into an ironic comedy

because you love secrets, strong characters, more secrets and Penelope Cruz wearing blong Marylin wig...

9/10

/ Centrale Vintage Market /

In front of Centrale station, Milan
Hours: Wednesday & Sunday (weekly)

What I bought: Little 60's dress

What else ...anything interesting? Cool and trendy looking fur little jacket, lots of jewellery, you can ask what you want and they will bring it to you the next week, crocodile combinaison (unforgiveable), gold shoes. There is some funny staff you wouldn't buy but it's part of the vintage game, isn't it? and remember NEGOCIATE! always start with the lowest offer then you make them laugh (they think how dare she), then you laugh as well (meaning : I know it doesn't worth that but I am funny and friendly) so they start putting the price down because they like you and they like this game...

/ Naviglio Vintage market /

On the navigli, next to Porta Genova station, Milan

The last sunday of the month

What I bought: Grey Hat , sunglasses, old Vogue and Italian magazines, vintage black velvet pochette with perls and embroideries, bonsai, Tartan jacket, more old postcards

What else...anything interesting? it's a BIG market where you can find everything from the furry telephone to beautiful antiques jewellery ($$$) to jazz band singing to coffee or gelato.Lovely walk around the river Navilgi, typical of Milan.Too many people in the summer but much more stands, I love going there when it's cold and the river is a bit foggy (I have stayed too long in London and love Jack the Ripper story....sorry!) again NEGOTIATE especially in this market they have the most ridiculous high price! It's a market I m cooming because it's supposed to be cheaper HELLO!

Louise, my charismatic stylist friend recommends...

/ Market Via Tabacchi, Milan /

Each Saturday morning

(Louise)

What Louise bought: Jaeger jacket and D&G trousers, silk shirt and top, jacketS & trouserS (pieces from 2/5 Euros!!!)

What else...anything interesting Louise? "ok it's not a vintage market, it's a food market with a couple of shitty chiense stalls where they sell crappy purple fake wool dresses then there's this one very cool stall with 3 old men who sell second hand clothes and if you look really hard, elbow old women out of the way, and hold on tight to the things you've found (the old women try to steal from your hands!) you can find amazing pieces.
