SUMMARY
In this episode, we (Alyssa and Christina for now! Signe is on maternity leave!) are diving into the magic of Milanese fashion—where effortless elegance meets playful style. From la bella figura and the importance of well-chosen footwear to the mix of classic and trendy elements that define the city’s aesthetic, we explore how Milan has shaped our personal style and how it compares to Toronto.
But, as always, this isn’t about rigid fashion rules—it’s about embracing style with confidence and a sense of fun. We chat about putting thought into what we wear without the pressure of perfection and how to bring a little Milanese charm into everyday life.
