The Monday Blues did not stand a chance when I found myself surrounded by delicious Italian food, wine & design, and more than a few very handsome Italian men!. No, I wasn't actually in Italia but I spent a fabulous afternoon with my friends at the Italian Trade Commission in NYC to celebrate Festa Della Repubblica (Italian National Day.) The festivities included the Le Eccellenze Italiane Exhibition - a display of Italy's finest. A trip to Italy remains number one on my wish list but why not add a great dress and a Piaggio Vespa to the mix?

Italian Wish List Item 2: A Sexy Little Black Dress from Designer Gigliola Curiel
Of course, while in Milan I would I have to do a little shopping and I think this sexy little black dress by designer Gigliola Cuirel is perfection. Gigliola hails from a Milanese fashion dynasty and is continuing the tradition started by her grandmother and mother.
Italian Wish List Item 3: A Snazzy Piaggio Vespa
My Italian friend Raffaelle absolutely adores his Piaggio Vespa and uses it everyday to get around New York City. Sleek, stylish, and fast, the Piaggio Vespa makes commuting an adventure. Of course, I would opt for a very racy red model - it will look great with my little black dress!
