Travel Tip Tuesday

Eat Local!
Eating local is a great way to get to know the city! As well as to try new things and get out of your comfort zone! Which is what traveling is all about right!? This can work whether you are traveling for work or pleasure! So go ahead and try that Brazilian barbecue place on the corner that everyone's been talking about. Or that family owned Italian restaurant that advertises the best spaghetti in town. I'm sure it's better than Olive Garden. Even if the restaurant doesn't always turn out to be your favorite, the ambiance is what it's all about. And at least you can say you tried something new when you get back from your vacation. Having trouble finding a local eatery at your destination? Try tripadvisor or asking a local to get reviews. This is a great way to strike up a conversation with a local and you may end up getting even more helpful info beyond food! So next time you're out and about on a trip, try a local eatery to add some adventure to your travels!

Travel Tip Tuesday

Try a night at the theatre!

The local theatre can be a great way to experience the night life in the city your visiting.  You can often find discounts on shows if you ask at the theatre boxoffice during the day. This can be a great date night idea or something the whole family can enjoy. There are a variety of shows to see including: comedy, improv, and plays so you'll be sure to find something for everyone! Next time your looking for something to do after a long day of site seeing try heading to the theatre!

Milan fashion week was filled with colorful eccentric styles as usual this past week. Italian fashion never runs out of surprises it seems. One of the most eye catching collections was Moschino's Barbie inspired collection! Blonde models paraded the runway in hot pink leather and gold pantsuits that were all Barbie inspired silhouettes. The Barbie inspired collection was an immediate hit in the Italian fashion Capitol. The Milanese are notorious for wearing couture fashions straight off the runway and this time was no different. The hot pink leather pencil skirt and matching bolero were seen all over the streets only a few days after the show according to @nytimesfashion. But this isn't the most surprising news. If your a Barbie fan then this next piece of information will have you jumping for joy. According to Barbie's very own instagram account @Barbiestyle (which chronicles Barbie's adventures throughout all the major fashion weeks) there is even a matching line of Moschino doll clothes! Now Barbie fans can buy the matching outfits for their dolls! #twinsies anyone? Are you planning on wearing matching outfits with your Barbiedoll?
