A few more pictures from our most recent day trip to Milan that we had exactly one week ago. As I said in the first post about this day trip, we were not lucky enough to find Brera’s California Bakery open (I was really craving a piece of cake and was very disappointed when I found out it was closed) so we decided to go for some delicious ice cream from Amorino while my boyfriend got a lemon iced water as always! I love walking down all the little streets in Brera, it’s seriously my favourite place in Milan!
Also here are some other pictures from Parco Sempione!
I’ve noticed you enjoy reading about little day trips like this and since I particularly enjoy sharing my pictures and what I do, this is another mainly illustrative post but a lot of more pictures are coming your way later this week (just so you are not plagued by a lot of pictures all at once and also because this way I can spare the best bit for another post, ha! You curious?!). We headed to Milan again last week and we had the best time! One thing with Milan in August is that it’s completely filled with tourists but there’s not so many italian people going around (which is bad because when you wonder around in your own city with a bunch of tourists all around, you’ll be asked for directions for sure!) but this also means a lot of cool Café and places are closed which is not fun but it’s the perfect excuse to go and wonder around the rare green spaces around the city.
Someone of you might remember on our first anniversary day we hoped to have a day like this, but the weather was very poor and we couldn’t hit up Parco Sempione, but this time we made up! Also they have this super cool wheat field with sunflowers and other little plants going on in the middle of the city and I just wish they will be able to spread this out across the city and make it a permanent thing. And no… I didn’t pick my dress because of the flowers…
Don’t know about you but one of the things I love to do is going for an Ikea trip and this is not something that happens really often but last weekend we headed there for the last summer sales day (it was due, you know what I mean!) and we literally ended up to spend our entire afternoon there until the closing time – it’s just that they have cakes and ice creams and orange juice and free swedish coffee in their dining area, so…
Needless to say we bought stuff, very nice stuff I’m so pretty excited about, but one thing I really love about our Ikea trips is that as soon as we start soaking up the atmosphere of every single kitchen / living room / bedroom, we start seeing ourselves in a foreseeable future living in some of that furnitures, we start making plans, talking about what we love and see which tastes we share and which ones not, we start dreaming about a future together, a home for ourselves and every single second we spend in there is all about us and our relationship growing a lot, which might sounds stupid to some of you, but sometimes what really makes a relationship stronger is sharing dreams and plans together and to me those really are the best moments and memories I love to go back to when I think of how we are growing together as a couple.
Something nice we also so sometimes is simply buy something that we both know will come with us in our home in the future, little investments that might sound so overstated but have so much value to me and to our relationship. It means we’re constantly conscious we’ll live together at some point, that we both believe in a future to be shared with each other and somehow those very little investments and plans bind us deeply and more and more every single time, and make a future together much more close.

As you probably already know from my One Year Together post, we had our first anniversary last week and you also probably can remember we met in Milan the very first time one year ago; so for our first anniversary we decided to re-live it all like it happened the first time, and met in the exact…
I feel like we know each other since a few long lifes ago which is not completely wrong, but me and Ale actually met exactly one year ago. I know it has only been a year, but it was our year and for what is worth, it was so important to us to be able to spend…
It doesn’t happen to us pretty often to have a concrete time to have a classic date in the evening like a dinner and a movie kind of thing, being that we don’t live close to each other and that we always have to leave early in the evening for the last train. As you…
This week both me and Ale feel super lucky to be able to spend a whole week (and more) together as, as you probably already know, we live a sort of long distance relationship and it’s always nice to have some quality time to spend together instead of our usual dates that never last more…
