On our trip to Shakespeare's Verona we ended up at the Boggi store in the town center area…read more Northern Italy is known for its designer clothing and shoes and this store is right up there with the best of the best. The store wasn't busy at all and they had multi levels with the newer inventory on the ground floor and the older one on the 2nd floor. Being a pretty old brand this store has some awesome selection of clothing from shirts, trousers, suits and shoes. One particular blue Shoes caught my eye which I ended up getting for my older brother as he loves to wear Italian shoe brands. I also got a pair of really nice cufflinks. If you are into fashion this is a store you should seek out when in Milan or the surrounding areas. 5 star brand with every thing made with the intent to be the best in quality and style.

Prix is a little discount grocery store that I love love love to stop at on my way home! It has all…read morethe basics and almost no frills. My favorite part is that they have some deliciously marinated meats in a frig right before the checkout line. I can be in and out of there in 10 minutes with everything I need to cook for dinner and not overspend on things I don't need just because they are there.

This is one of my favorite purse manufacturers. This particular location is their factory. They…read moreactually have a store at the front of the factory and the owner and daughter are still running the place. There is amazing history here and they family will happily share it with you. The purses are top notch and there is so much work that goes into each design you will be amazed. They are all hand-crafted and each aspect of the purse is created from a template and then made into a metal cutter and then hand pressed into the leather before it is sewn. It is a fascinating process and truly worth a stop in. The prices are incredible and there is a section in the back of last season purses that you can't beat the prices on. If you are in the are it would definitely be worth your time to stop in.

Mercantinos are a big thing here in Italy. They sell second hand items primarily on consignment…read more The great thing about the consignment aspect is that after a certain amount of time the prices drop. Eventually the shop just owns them if they aren't purchased. This particular shop has a ton of options. Way too many for a quick walk through. Even if you know what you are looking for you really have to hunt through the store. So, give yourself plenty of time if you are on a hunting mission and check the dates. After 30 days you can usually ask for a discount.

Holy cow!! This place is awesome! From stop watches to camping gear this store has it all. I walked…read morealmost every aisle in the store. On my way in I noticed bikes for all ages and backpacks of all kinds. There were tents set up and hiking gear in one section, and workout machines and clothing for all sizes in another. They had the cutest ballet clothes and they dedicated a small section to ballet shoes, bags, sweaters, and other ballet accessories. I really couldn't get over how large the store was or how organized it was. The fishing and now hunting section was amazing. We went in looking for soccer balls and a water polo ball and left with exactly what we needed. The one thing we were hoping to find that we didn't was a hacky sack ball. I tried asking in Italian to several different store personnel but no joy. They looked at me a little funny and then I pulled up a photo on my iPhone and they said they didn't have it. Either way we are thrilled with the find and will be back many times in the future. We also had a nice clerk walk us through the self checkout process in Italian!!
