A(nother) city that never sleeps.
I like to have a city that never sleeps to keep me on my toes. However, I don't want to have a street that never sleeps outside my apartment building. The other night, Barcelona won the football game against Madrid and fireworks were going off all night long. Sometimes I thought that I was going to die from a heart-attack. However, there are a lot of things I love about this city. The lights draped across the streets during the evenings, the many art galleries, the romantic aura over practically the whole city, the architecture, all of the cute coffee shops and boutiques etc. Everyday, I pass by so many things that are beautiful. But what I love most about this city is that there are always new things to explore.
No matter what I am wearing, my earrings will always sparkle.
Unless they're pearls of course..
Oh Happy Day!
Good morning! This morning, it was one of those beautiful mornings when the sun is at an impeccable angle that shines perfectly across my room leaving everything under a bright, blind/shaped shadow. But I could not lay there long becuase I had to get ready for another day at work and today, I'm gonna be on camera. I'm actually really really excited. We are gonna shoot in El Born and we're leaving the office soon soon so gotta go. Have a wonderful day!
Shoe Addiction.
There is no need to leave your feet out of your spring fashion thoughts. Naked, nude, taupe, blush, however you want to say it, this shoe color is flatteringt on just about anyone. Go buy a pair!
Get your sparkle on!
I like when my nails match my mood. Today I woke up feeling very sparkly (?) and happy! Walking out of my room singing : good morning, good morning only made my flatmate look at me asking "why are you so extremely happy?" (well, not exactly in those words but I don't want to use the F-Word.) So, this morning before heading out to grab my daily caffee latte at starbuck before work I chose a colorful jumpsuit with flowerprints and ruffles. To make the look even more me I put some flowers in my hair. It's ashame to waste this beautiful day inside an office but gotta stay productive.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry..
..for the extremely bad update lately. My computer broke (spilled water on it...) and this is actually a legit excuse..then it's been the royal wedding, a busy weekend and yeah..enough excuses already, I'm back! I hope you all are feeling fantastic and that you have had a good start of the new week. Look at this cute spring outfit! Very Charlotte in SATC don't you think? Need a cute pair of pants or a skirt to make it complete though.
If someone shows up somewhere late but is dressed terribly are they still fashionably late? (My friend had the perfect answer "No, they are terribly late" lol)
The Royal Wedding!
I hope your alarms are set for an ungodly hour to watch the Royal Wedding this Friday! The guests are currently arriving to the big wedding over in the UK and in almost an hour I am going to watch it live from my office here in Barcelona. It's simply too gorgeous a day to ignore! Growing up reading stories like Cinderella and Snow White, I believe this is so beautiful!
You should be walking around like you're wearing a tiara every day!

Love pinkandblack as much as I love blueandwhite
(Carrie) me to success..
Lately I have been watching a lot of SATC...a little bit too much to be honest and last night while walking around in Barcelona with my friend he asked me what I had been doing during the day. Hmm..I said finally admitting "I watched SATC...pretty much the whole day" (To my defense though it was the Monday after Easter and everything was closed) To my surprise he had watched some series and told me that I was a mix between Carrie and Charlotte. Thank you, I said..happy that he noticed the fact that I also have some Carrie in me as many people say that I'm only like Charlotte.
What to read this AM...

Sleeping is overrated
Tonight, while sitting on a bench by the beach in Barcelona I couldn't deny the fact that I was annoyed that I have to work tomorrow. Even though I knew that I had to wake up early I thought that, in two years from now what will matter the most...the fact that I'll be a little bit tired in the morning or the memories from a night out in a rainy but beautiful Barcelona? So, I decided to join my friend for a beer (haha) and stay up a little bit longer. We walked around in El Born and bought chocolate, went to a park that looks like a mix between Hyde and Central Park, walked along the beach to the W hotel and down Las Ramblas (where I got worried that some weirdo was gonna jump out and steal my wallet...I really do need to buy a good bag with a zipper that's hard to open..did I tell you that I got robbed here once?) Goodnight! xx
Manicure and pedicure thnx!
Good Morning Everyone -
Nothing inspires like caffeine..
Sequins and Sparkles.
Oh, look at these amazing Dolce and Gabbana leggings that I found on my friend's blog: http://mrbotox.blogspot.com/ (I wish they made these leggings for women too!)
While having dinner at Nobu in Los Angeles a few months ago I saw Mikayla in the Hills wearing a pair almost just like these and I remember that I love love loved her pants!
Sant Jordi
You know what I find really fun and interesting about traveling? You not only learn new things from your internship/job/and the people you meet, you also learn about new cultures, traditions and history. Today for example, it's the Catalan Valentines Day and they call it Sant Jordi. I had no clue about this until I moved to Barcelona. The guy buys roses for the girl and the girl buys books for the guy - very cute I think! The streets have been so so crowded today with book stands and people walking around with flowers! Me and my friends went to a Paris inspired restaurant where we had sangria and lunch followed by some hours in the sun by the beach.
Good to know..
As many of you already might know, I moved from Los Angeles to Barcelona a few months ago but if you still want to keep track on the LA life until I'll be back, visit my besties/roomies blogs.
