It was a beautiful day in Florence yesterday, warm and sunny and there weren’t too many tourists around. The shops are full of winter clothes and we have had enough cool mornings lately to think they might be necessary soon.
It is a colourful season, which is good to see. There can be far too much black in winter. Come for a little walk around the shop windows of Florence with me.
In the Fendi window the mannequin is holding a miniature head of Karl Lagerfeld as a key ring. Who knew we needed one of these?
Moving on…
Dolce & Gabbana is a favourite again this season. Just as well nothing in the shop would fit me or I might be tempted.
Of course, the accessories fit anyone.
Luisa Via Roma is a riot of colour and fur, both real and faux.
Valentino is always elegant.
Sorry chaps, the menswear was mostly suits and I can’t get excited about those.
I had lunch at the wonderful Obika, the mozzarella bar in Via Tornabuoni. I will tell you all about that some other time.
