The closing dinner party of Firenze4Ever 3rd Edition took place in the beautiful gardens of La Specola museum. The theme of the party was „Animalier“.
I dressed up as a mixture between a mouse and a cheetah, a „cheetouse“.

Sebastiano and La Carmina were showing us the Japanese animalier trend: Pokemons, rabbit bags and plush dogs on the head.
It wouldn’t be LuisaViaRoma if they didn’t have some surprises for us that night. A beautiful ballet performance waited for us in the gardens. The dancers were dressed up as animal creatures. Kind of spooky but really beautiful.
The DJs of the night were pretty famous: Daniele Cavalli (Roberto’s son), whom I had met already at the last Firenze4Ever event in January, and Henry Holland, the designer of House of Holland were rocking the crowd.

The last days were just so amazing, filled with many exciting moments. I have so much more to show you!
Last night, LuisaViaRoma held a private dinner party at La Specola in the Salone degli Scheletri with a very special opera performance. Surrounded by skeletons, the scenery was incredible. We all had a lot of fun during our night at the museum. Only Ben Stiller was missing…

Today, I have arrived in Florence for the 3rd edition of Firenze4Ever. LuisaViaRoma voted me among the most influential international fashion bloggers and invited me to three days of fashion fun. So stay tuned for many exciting photos of very special events.
Mulberry, the English brand that will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year, will be launching an exclusive behind the scenes book by Venetia Dearden and celebrate this with a classic English tea party. This is just one of the many fascinating things to happen. Tomorrow I will kick off the F/W 2011 season with the Total Styling Lab.
Please enjoy the first pics of today’s opening night. I am sure that you will recognize parts of my outfit from my previous post.

Saturday night was the final dinner party of Firenze4Ever. We started at Luisa Via Roma’s beautiful terrace and later on we went to the after party to a club called Colle Bereto where we had the whole VIP section for us.
So please enjoy the impressions of that fun night with the fashionable Florence crowd and all the lovely bloggers from abroad.

Today, it was a more relaxing day, recovering from last night. I went on a little shopping tour around the city in my galaxy-print dress by Christopher Kane combined with my fur vest byMiu Miu, grey gauntlets byStella McCartney and studded biker bootsbyMiu Miu. Scarfby Gucci, bagbyBalmain. Below you will find just a few impressions from my walk…
Now I am at the hotel getting some rest for the big party tonight.
Will keep you posted on that.
Last night, we all went to dinner at Roberto Cavalli’s club after having drinks at Luisaviaroma before. I wore my sequined dress by Balmain (the one from New Year’s Eve) with a marabou cape and clutch byBalmain. The suede punk YSLpumps finished off my look.
Enjoy the photos and see who was there!!!! It was a wonderful evening…
