Greetings from Sigtuna where I am at the moment. It is the oldest city in Sweden, having been founded in 980. The tiny town has such a picturesque beautiful medieval centre with restaurants, cafes and small shops that I felt like being at a movie set. The old church ruins, runic stones and “Stora Gatan” (Main Street) are must-sees, along with the city hall, Sigtuna Rådhus, and of course the shore of Lake Mälarena.
My look: Royal blue velvet coat and stretch-leather skinny pants both by Gucci, cashmere and silk-blend sweater by Miu Miu, leopard-print scarf by Louis Vuitton, ankle boots by Prada and Mini Boston bag by Céline.
For dinner, I went to the lovely 1909 Sigtuna Stadshotell which I can only recommend.
Today, I am off to Stockholm… totally excited! Stay tuned for more…
LoL, Sandra

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!
