lol, have you ever been? I went to Europe for about 6 weeks when I graduated college, I dropped quite a penny over seas. I would do it again in a heart beat!

Re: Look at one of my gifts DH is buying me for my birthday!

Theresa- I got most of mine in Florence. I bought FH gucci flip flops and a belt (fine, picked up a pair for myself too). He thinks I am nuts for spending the money I do, but I don't hear him complaining about his gifts.

Were you in Rome? There is a warehouse called Space about 20 minutes outside and I cleaned house there! Prada, Dior, you name it they have it. All wholesale! Now I really wanna go back!

Edited for spelling error.

Re: Look at one of my gifts DH is buying me for my birthday!

I go to Italy at leat once a year (most of the time twice) to visit FH's family and I go nuts on shopping every time.

I will be there again in October for my wedding so if we get a 'wish list' together....I can bring stuff back for you ladies

Last time I was there I came home with 8 pairs of shoes and 2 bags!!!!

(this time I have my heart set on a Balenciaga bag and a Tods bag!!!!!)

Re: Look at one of my gifts DH is buying me for my birthday!

Ask your hotel concierge, or if you are staying with family, someone must know. I literally checked into my hotel, dropped off my bags, and jumped in a cab. He knew where to go. Wear comfy sneakers cause you will be running up and down the joint!..lol

My FI is hooked too, although he will never admitt it!

Re: Look at one of my gifts DH is buying me for my birthday!

Theresa- I can understand, can't speak it that great. Grew up in a family where you had to understand to know what was going on, but I never learned to speak very well. Isn't that odd?

I have never been to Sicily, but it is def. on my list! Venice is my favorite city in the world!
