Saldi

Italians celebrate the end of the holiday season by having massive sales in all of the stores. So everywhere you go it says Saldi! and things that are ridiculously expensive become only moderately expensive. It's great.
I've spent the last few days doing a little reconnaissance, but today I dove in head first.
I spent the day with my friends Emily and Courtney shopping and eating.

Here I am eating an amazing kabob for lunch. It hit the spot.
Kababji, definitely the place to go for Kababs
I found a dress for Joe's formal, and figured this was the time to buy it with all of the sales going on.

Ok, so it's not that one and it isn't Valentino, but that would have been awesome right?
Actually it's a little copper number from Promod (akin to Forever 21 or H&M) and it was a mere 20 euro! Saldi!

And then... these boots walked into my life. They called out to me, and I couldn't resist.
We don't need to talk about how much they cost. Just know that they were on sale (saldi!) and they were way less than I would have paid in the U.S.

All in all, a very productive day.
