Then we went to Trois Pommes Studio for Alaia, and then to Looq, where I really fell in love with the bison leather bag.

But the discovery of the day was MDL a modern shop with cool casual pieces of unknown designers. I reall liked the amount of scarves there: every colour and print was there!

For lunch we chose a very nice Italian Restaurant called Cantinetta Antinori. I ate some delicious buffalo mozarella with parma ham and spaghetti with veal. Yummy! And here are pics of architecture and river of Zurich.

A great book of bloggers! I truly recomend this!
For dinner we chose Hummer Bar, a lobster restaurant. However we didn’t order a lobster. But we chose salmon with blinis, tourbot, plat of seafood, sole and oysters. Ok, in one word: horrible! Dont try to go there! Oysters were unfresh, turbot was from freezing machine, plat of seafood wasn’t a seafood plat. Sorry, but this the worst fish restaurant in whole Switzerland. But the day was still wonderful! 😀

Zurich: Baur Au Lac Garden, Trois Pommes, Looq, Grieder and more…

The first day in Zurich was great. For a walk with the dog we went, to our hotel’s park that is full of modern sculptures. All were very new and were representing some of the most known commercial products like Coca Cola and Dom Perignon.20121227-075512 PM.jpg20121227-075550 PM.jpg20121227-075602 PM.jpg20121227-075612 PM.jpg20121227-075619 PM.jpg
After we went for a little shopping- first to the Grieder where were amazing men’s sale for winter and new collection. I bought the essential for wardrobe New Balance Bordeaux sport shoes that are ideal for jogging and are super chic.
But the most cool shops were the Trois Pommes. There like 6 of them on one street. The woman that is the owner of it also has Prada, Miu Miu and Moncler. But the most nice shop was the one were there was only Balmain and Alaia. Is should say everything was beautiful. The masterpieces of Alaia like dresses and bags however were all lying and all sizes availe. Thats strange because in Paris all sizes were sold… We also went upstairs that is closed for public (we went here thanks to a very nice lady) and saw the antical outlet of Balmain… It was beautiful! A lot of gold and ornaments… Most of the clothes were designed by the older Balamin designer Christopher Decarnin that is for me better than the today’s one!

For dinner we chose Tao’s, a trendy asian cuisine restaurant with an awesome atmosphere! The food was delicious but thee no photos because it was really dark… And after food time we had a walk through Bankhofstrasse and saw this…
