Book by Charles Dickens, glassframes by Prada: a killer combination, and only in The Lipstick Papers!!!! (Should I also mention a favorite sweater from Stradivarius?) 
😀 In the travelogue Pictures from Italy, Dickens was amazed by Verona, identified with Romeo and, on his way to Mantua, thought about how it must have all looked exactly the same as back then. Did Romeo look in this direction? Dickens wondered. Did he see this or that piece of scenery?

He also thought that it is almost a sacrilege to disturb Juliet so much (apparently visitors to her grave were as numerous in the Victorian era as today). "I am sure that wherever she is now, she is peaceful", Dickens thought.
Pictures from Italy is a strange, if not bizarre, book. Dickens saw Italy as this amazingly beautiful but alien place, and he manages to convey that feeling in his writing.
I haven't finished the book yet, and I wonder what other surprises and bits of information about Dickens's life it has for me. The author spent a whole year traveling between France and Italy and the book is about that trip. Right now, he's going to Milan. Let's see if he will have anything to say about fashion!
I will keep you posted
