Fashion week in Milan—if you’re not already burnt out from New York and London—is something out of a dream: With such storied design houses as Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and Missoni presenting their latest and greatest, the spectacle is made all the more grandiose set against a backdrop of the Italian cityscape (not to mention flocks of chic European women everywhere you look). Reporting back on the third leg of September’s fashion month circuit is Stylebop’s Fashion Director Leila Yavari, who had an all-access pass to the city’s poshest happenings. Here, check out her diary from the week and prepare to swoon over what she scoped from the Spring 2016 runways.

"House of cards and a seriously full schedule—I’m excited to get started!"
"If the devil is in the details, Fendi’s updated, embellished Peekaboo bag is sinfully good."

"My first well-rounded meal of the week and the perfect opportunity to indulge in the local specialty."
"The '80s were back, bigger and bolder than ever at Peter Dundas’ much-anticipated Roberto Cavalli debut."
"Jil Sander gets a block party started with the season’s most artful (and street-friendly) footwear."
