Recently we went for a trip to visit some of the best Italian outlet mall last Sunday. The five biggest outlet shopping mall in Italy are:

• Outlet Serravalle
• Outlet Village
• Outlet Valmontone
• Outlet Franciacorta
• Outlet Vicolungo

Those big malls are usually placed close to the biggest highways so you can easily reach them. Eventually we chose to go to Milan because of the many outlet factories you can find (close to each other) and because they are all high end.

Indeed, near Milano you can find many important outlet malls specific for different brands like for example:

• Outlet Dolce & Gabbana – Legnano (Via Rossini, 70)
• Outlet Kartell – Noviglio (Via delle Industrie, 1)

Last summer there were a few particularly hot and humid days here in Chicago, where I live. Over 90 degrees is just too hot for me to handle! So of course on one of those gloriously hot summer days, I was enjoying staying out of the sun and being in my nice cool house…when my air conditioner stopped working. My first thoughts were to call up a friend that usually fixes things around the house for me. Unfortunaetely for me, this friend was out of town and wouldn’t be back until the following day, or maybe even the day after.
