The Fashion Lover's Guide to Milan by Rachael Martin

 I have always wanted to travel and Italy has long been on the list to countries that I want to visit. This is a guidebook that I would definitely want to bring with me on such a visit. It has a lot of detail in it, so I probably wouldn't want to carry it around during the day, but I would definitely read it before a trip and during a trip depending on the plans for the day. 

This guidebook is nice because it not only talks about and shows the physical locations but it talks about the history of the fashion salons and brands; the people that created them and what their focus was. The book also gives details about the hours and primary focus of the businesses talked about and how to visit them. 

The book also mentions cafes and coffeeshops around the fashion area of Milan and mentions what each one specializes in and recommends a few things. 

If you are planning to take a trip to Milan, I would highly recommend to both read this book before hand to get an idea of what to expect and what there is there. I would also bring it with on the trip as to not miss anything the book talks about. Even if you are not traveling, this book is full of fun facts and details that make it enjoyable in its own right. 

I received this book free courtesy of NetGalley and this is my unbiased review of it. 

5 out of 5 stars
