so remainder of the day we spent shopping. we did finish early enough... well made ourselves finish early enough because we wanted to go back to piazzale michelangelo.
meaning i had to bust out my black friday shopping skills again. quick browsing in each store. if it doesn't instantly catch my eye, not touching it, not trying it on or not going inside the store. i even walked by two kikos!.. okay i lied. i went in one of them, but i just did a quick once around. i was only in there for 30 seconds! i swear! now that's something.
plus i needed to go back to the ovs store, which was not in the main shopping district - though later discovered i might as well have not gone since they didn't have my colour! again! i'm beginning to think i won't ever find this damn coat.
at the end of shopping i only purchased two items. one was a new tank from H&M. now i don't normally shop there, but the shirt was only 9 euros! it was hot pink with black straps so i was sold. and i bought me some new sunglasses - which i wasn't even looking for. my friend really wanted a pair - like me and the coat. i just like trying them on. i usually grab weird ones to have a laugh. anywhos i grabbed a pair of guccis for my friend. she didn't like them, so i tried them... love at first sight. literally. i had to have them. wished they were a bit cheaper, but anything under 200 euros for (designer) sunglasses i guess is okay.
anyways...
here are some pics from piazzale michelangelo. we took the bus up. it was a 15min ride from the station and only cost 1.10 euros.
so here's me and the fake statue of david.
i'm yet to see the real one. it just seems to need a lot of planning ahead if you don't want to wait 3 hours in line, but i will try to go next trip out... if there's time (i also discovered a new shopping outlet around florence. looks major.)
it was a really gorgeous view. also made it in time for the sunset so the sky later became all sorts of pretty. i like it up there.
and then, since it's our last night in florence, we're headed back to piazza della signoria to have a delicious italian dinner. the weather is cool and there are a bunch of nice restaurants with outdoor seating. maybe i'll see that gucci dog again!
and of course later tonight - some more drinks at the pub :)
