Charming Days in Milan During Fashion Week

I went for a few days in September during Fashion week. It was still lovely and warm. People had told me "it's not like Rome or Florence...not very appealing" but I would disagree entirely. It was full of amazing restaurants, charming neighborhoods, and enough history to keep me very happy. I visited Villa Necchi Campiglio which was incredibly cool. Had cofee at Bar Luce (the Wes Anderson-design cafe in the Prada Foundation). I wandered the Navigli and had a drink and record shopped at a great vintage record store.

I shopped and had a Negroni at 10 Corso Como and also had lunch in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. At least once a day I wandered past the Duomo which is majestic. I even had lunch at the restaurant of La Rinascente, the department store, and was gazing at the Duomo from a few stories up and what felt like 20 feet away.
