On Sunday evening LUISAVIAROMA.COM hosted a dinner party to celebrate the success of the FIRENZE4EVER event.
We all arrived decked out in our fancy dresses for the occasion.
I wore the most prized possession in my closet: my Antonio Berardi Spring 2012 dress.
The aqua dress has a silver and green panel which gives the illusion of a very narrow waist and has also been worn by Giovanna Battaglia.
I styled my dress with a Rafe clutch and a silver pair of Nicholas Kirkwood metallic peep-toes I had purchased at the sample sale last week.
I was very proud to be wearing British designers on the night.
The dinner was hosted outside at the Nuovo teatro dell’opera di Firenze on the world’s longest dining table.
After dining, we worked off the calories on the dance floor with DJ Misty Rabbit spinning the deck and a live performance from Neimo.
On Saturday, Luisa Via Roma took to the Madonna concert.
Having never been to a Madonna concert before I didn’t know what to expect.
What I saw was an amazing performance, electrifying production and I was surprised to see her son Rocco join in for some of the performance.
Madonna, at 54, was able to outdance her dancers 30 years her junior. I have a new found respect for the Queen of Pop.
After singing some of ‘Born This Way’, Madonna then went on to sing, ‘She’s not me….and don’t you forget it‘.
Meow…saucer of milk for Ms Ciccone. Go to TheBagHagDiaries to see some amazing pictures from the concert.

OMG you look amazing! I am speechless. And btw it looks much better than on Giovanna!
The dress is stunning! And the silver accessories are a million times better than the green ones used on the runway!
You also look amazing in turquoise.
FC you look fantastic! this dress somehow makes you look even taller and slimmer and i love your styling (especially the cute clutch). It’s lovely to see you out and about looking this good
thank you noo xx
WOW! FC, you look gorgeous!
I adore both the lines and the color of that dress.
The model’s styling with green clutch and shoes is okay, but I much prefer your use of silver. I think it gives the whole look a feel of lightness and elegance.
Thanks so much for sharing all of this with us!
wow you look stunning.. that colour and the dress looks great on you..
FC, you looked wonderful! Thanks for sharing this with us.
My pleasure. I had an amazing time
Stunning FC
Merci x
You like nice, FC! I am a bit jealous of you attending the Madge concert. Lucky girl. Glad you had fun!
Madge was AMAZING
I can’t wait to see her in concert!
She won’t disappoint.
You look amazing! I have been lusting after that dress ever since I saw it on the runway, so right now, I have some major fashion envy! I hope you had a great time. It looks like it was a lot of fun!
By the way, aqua is definitely your color
It was my favourite dress of the collection. I am honored to own it.
*You look nice.
thanks x
You looks gorgeous FC! I love your look from head-to-toe.
I also saw Sarah in one of the pics.
Wow, you look great! I’m completely in love with the dress.
Swoon. BDOTW. Beautiful spring color, killer silhouette and silver peep toes. Look and weep celebs jumping ahead to fall. This is how its done. And lol about saucer of milk.
Gorgeous dress FC!
you look better than the model in that dress! It works better with your skin tone and your shoes are better too. Awesome!
I’m thinking….BDOTW?.
You better work Ms FC : )
Can I nominate you for best dressed of the week?
lol…you guys are so cute…I’m blushing over here
Just being honest, you look amazing great color on you. ; )
Really, really gorgeous–beautiful and flattering dress, perfect styling. Lovely.
Looking gorgeous!
I’m glad I’m not the only one with a mint phase.
the mint phase is strong and true. I also have a mint top by Goat
You look gorgeous! The dress, the colour especially, I’m such a fan of aqua blue, is to die for. Also majorly jealous of the Kirkwoods, I wish I could have gone to the sample sale but I have exams
.
Glad to hear you had such a great time, you truly deserve all the perks of being such an amazing blogger!
I spent too much at the sample sale so be glad you didn’t go
Thanks for your comments.
You look REALLY beautiful FC!!! The color is amazing on you and I loved your silver shoes! BDOTW contender
I love this colour. So fresh and summery.
Thanks x
FC, I have no idea who you are and I looked at this and said, “stunning”. Definitely better than the runway. BDOTW nominee for me.
so sweet. thank you x
The dress is gorgeous, and suits you to perfection.
But …. no black pumps? No white shoes? No mixed metals or ugly watch? Hair not left unbrushed and make-up not done? Don’t you know that means you now have to put yourself into BDOTW?
LOL…no way…I would be so embarrassed x
I think you’re going to have to overcome your embarrassment, FC. It looks like we have an overwhelming write-in vote to nominate you for BDOTW. That’s what you get for looking so fabulous!
Gaah.. Nooooo pleasseeeee… Put this look on the bdotw poll.. Pleasseeeee..

FC, you look absolutely stunning!! That color is amazing against your skin tone and that silver and green panel makes your waist look so tiny! Even though my favurite color is green I must say your silver accessories are by far better than the green ones on the model! They just make the whole look more elegant and more beautiful
Please put this on BDOTW poll because it REALLY should be there
P.S. Those shoes are to die for
