We need aperitivo in America!

Aperitivo at Pacino Cafe in Milano

Aperitivo at Pacino Cafe in Milano

The first week I got here I was introduced to this happy hour where you buy a drink and it includes a free buffet. They range anywhere from 5 to 8 euro ($6.50 to $10). There are a variety of foods to choose from crackers, cheese, bite- size pizzas, veggies, salads, pasta, and more. This is a great way to survive  and socialize on a limited budget here in Milan. More importantly this elustrious happy hour is Milan’s way of kicking back and enjoying life after the workday is done.

I discovered that Italians are really good with seperating the two: Did anyone say anything about work? Work? Oh we can talk about that tomorrow!

About TJSTYLES

Hi I’m Toya. I was born and raised in the Washington DC metropolitan area. Fashion has been calling me for years now, as I was on my way to work I would always notice what the women and men in Washington were wearing both good and bad. I decided 10+ years into my career in Finance to professionally invest in my creative side. For years I’ve come up with simple formulas for dressing that are stylish, comfortable, and can be easily transformed into life outside of work. Friends and family have always asked me to pick cool clothes out for them–it’s just in me. Since then I’ve realized that my natural talents needed to be nurtured. On New Year’s Day of 2012 I decided to close my eyes and live this dream. Within 6 months I’ve been up and down the East Coast working behind the scenes in various Fashion weeks and Fashion shows.After getting a taste of the DC and Philly fashion scene. In March of 2013 I decided to attend School of Style in Lower East Side Manhattan, where I learned the business aspect of industry styling. And now summer of 2013, I’m embarking on my next journey a fashion business internship in Milan! I am so grateful for this opportunity, to be submerged in Milan’s fashion world for 9 weeks with 18 strangers learning and speaking the language, interning with a leading Showroom that specializes in the brokerage of luxury goods and mens/womens ready to wear.
