You meet a lot of interesting people..
..however, a few fascinates you more than others and even do succeed to motivate you..
A few years ago (wow, time really flies!) while living on the east coast, I met an author over a coffee in Gramercy Park in New York. She was the author of the website and book called Getting from College to Career and knew Carolyn Kepcher, whom I worked for. Already back then, I was dreaming of becoming a writer and after telling her about my dreams and writing ideas she recommended me to meet up with a New Jersey girl who shared the same kind of dreams as I did. At the time, she was working as an intern at Seventeen magazine and told me everything about it over some cosmopolitans at Bryant Park. After that, she invited me to plenty of events in the city and we attended meetings such as New York Women in Communications together etc. By now, you probably wonder where I am going with all of this. Well, today (two-three years later), that same girl is the founder of three big non-profit organizations, works as a columnist for the famous US publication Huffington Post and manage her own website. Let me just say - WOW! After viewing her website, I was so impressed! I have another friend like this, who I worked with in Los Angeles. After our internship, she founded her own website with tips for students who are looking to start their first internship in the fashion industry. There is just one thing to say: Girls, we rock!
What is Paris H doing in Barcelona?
Yesterday I agreed to go out with some friends to a club. Recently, I have had no interest in that whatsoever and while going out it was like LA all over again! Paparazzis everywhere and Paris Hilton passing me by while walking in to the club. Not that I have anything against Paris Hilton but in my opinion, I think that her appearance at the clubs here is not Barcelona's style if you know what I mean. I say, be unique and keep it up in style BCN!

Beach Wear!
Today has been one of those busy days. I had show up for work this morning to do some basic stuff and then I went out in Barcelona to shoot some photos for this week's fashion column. Hey, hey beach clothes and accessories! (Perfect for June...not so much for my economy) However the weather in Barcelona could be a little bit better - shape up please?! Anyways, my best friend here in Barcelona agreed to pose as a model. The pictures turned out great! Gonna work on the background in photoshop but here is a preview. Destination: El Born.
A new week, new exciting things.
While going through my emails over my regular Starbucks coffee this morning, I noticed that my blog is now linked to a Swedish student site www.gostudy.se. So in the future, if you for some reason would forget my website you can always go in and find it here haha. What else..? Yeah, we just had a morning meeting here in the office and scheduled a couple of different articles for this week. There is a lot of things going on in Barcelona right now because, believe it or not, THE SUMMER IS HERE! Fun start of the new week: http://ht.ly/55MSg
Oh, I love old music.
Recently, I have been listening a lot to TLC and Destiny's Child. Moving my suitcases from the US over to Europe also means that I am now moving from Pandora Radio to Spotify. I love exercising while listening to Destiny's Child! A couple of months ago, I was on the same flight (from LA to Vegas) as Kelly Rowland. She seemed so nice! Anyways, have a lovely weekend. Xxx
Happy Friday!
Yey it is Friday, probably the best day of the week if you ask me! Today I am working on my weekly fashion column and as I got a lot of great feedback on the last vintage story I did, I decided to write a second one. I went out in Barcelona in order to get some great pictures and talk a little bit to a few of the owners in my no-hablo-mucho-espanol spanish/english. Stay tuned! :)

It's been my birthday (happy birthday to me happy birthday to me! lol) and I am having my best friend from the UK over, it's been beautiful as in BEAUTIFUL weather etc etc..Anyways, thought I'd give you a brief update. Today we are going to Tiffanys in order to spend some of my birthday-money followed by a manicure (I have a coupe of days off from work!) and I am so excited. I hope you are having a great start of the new week! Xxx
