It's like cocktails on a different level -
Forever21 is opening up in Barcelona! I haven't done any research or anything so I can't promise you that this is something totally new but from the shopping I have done in this city so far...this is a big surprise to me! This morning, while trying to help the cab driver with directions (well, the best I could in my yo-no-hablo-mucho-espanol-spanish to a cab driver that could not even spell the word english..And this was btw a very hard task for me that early in the morning) I suddenly saw the Forever21 sign outside a...what I think was a mall and I had to let the cab driver try to figure it out on his own for a while I took a deep breath. So, now...whenever I miss Los Angeles, this is where you'll find me!
Cleaning my apartment part II
You know how it is..during the week we tell ourselves that as soon as the weekend comes, we will get all of those practical things done that we left undone during the week. However, when Saturday comes along we really end up doing one of those doing-the-laundry-cleaning-the-apartment-go-grocery-shopping things and then being exhausted. Well at least I do. Therefore I spent this evening cleaning my apartment. However, I am looking for a new place preferably in Gracia, El Born or by Plaza de Catalunya. A place like this would be awesome - I love the typical Spanish looking apartment with one stone wall and antique design. I also love whites and romantic details - such as flowers, candles, covers with laces and big white curtains.
Sunday's best.
I'm a lip gloss addict..and see what I found on my way home from the gym. Not as good as my Victoria's Secret lip glosses but really cute.
Late brunch time. Fast, bad-quality picture, sorry about that..I'm in a hurry, Ciao!
Nothing inspires like caffeine -
Happy Sunday everyone. It's a beautiful day here in Barcelona, or it's starting to become..it was a little bit cloudy this morning. I am sitting in my tracksuit and gonna hit the gym and then I was thinking about just go slumming in Barcelona and by slumming I mean wearing sneakers. Later on today I am meeting two friends for...well, first we said brunch but as one of my close friends here is sleepyhead (haha)...I have a feeling that this brunch is gonna turn into dinner. I am so excited for tomorrow by the way, I'll tell you later. xxx
Isolation.
I love Barcelona but something that I have discovered about this city is that it's kinda isolated from the rest of the world - meaning, not many people here speak nor understand english, tv-shows and movies are dubbed into the local language but what bothers me the most...is that I can't find any UK or US Magazines. I am getting pretty frustrated over the fact that I can't read my favorite magazines - Vogue, Elle or Marie Claire.
Finally Friday.
I am beyond motivated.
Mark your calendars and grab your laptops!
Beautiful Day.
Today is a beautiful day, the sky is all blue and it almost feels like summer! Took a picture but seriously, excuse the curtains..if I could change I would do in a second but not sure the person who I am renting the apartment of would approve. Anyways, have a wonderful day everyone. xxx
Wonderful Memories.
A big happy birthday to Josefin on your birthday! Sad that I can't be in Los Angeles and give you a big birthday hug today. Remember all of our cozy night walks, Gyu-Kaku, trips to Blockbuster and movie nights with tons of blankets, popcorn and candy, sleepover nights even though we lived in the same apartment, bar weekends at Chateau Marmont and Skybar, shopping in downtown, Vegas, Thanksgiving, when we decided to make a video blog on our way to LAX (that only lasted one day haha), Yogurthland, impulsive rides to IKEA etc. Wonderful memories Hettson! Love you!
Wasting time.
Okay I am off. Meeting my friend at 10 pm. A night at the W Hotel turned into a movie night but after a long day that is totally fine with me. Just had some fun with my photobooth, so here are some pictures. xxx
Valentino.
Valentino at Diagonal / Passeig de Gracia
Inspiration, inspiration.

I love dresses with shirts underneath. Many times when I have found a pretty dress, I have tried explaining to my friends how a shirt or a blouse would go great with but they are just looking at me like question marks. This is what I am talking about - Pictures from fashiontoast
Coffee Fail 101.
Bought soy chai latte (always, always!). Left. Got into cab. Tasted. Regular. This can set my mood back for the whole day.
Love sequin dresses.
I love the green sequin dress above. It reminded me off the blue one I was wearing at the W Hotel in Los Angeles and would be perfect to wear tonight because we are actually going to the W Hotel here in Barcelona. But before that, we are going apartment-hunting. Correction, I am going apartment hunting and I talked my friend into coming with me. Spring is here and I love it! xxx
The great movies last forever..
..and bring back wonderful childhood memories.
Blankets, a book and diet coke.
After a long weekend away I am back in my apartment in Gracia. Tonight I am gonna do absolutely nothing. Gonna start a new book and just take it easy. Sometimes, those evenings are the best ones. I hope you all had a great weekend. xxx
after rain comes sunshine.
I think I need a shrink for my spring/summer shoes, they're so depressed being kept inside. Good thing this rainy weather finally decided to say bye bye.
SATC never gets old. period.
Japan versus Spain
Sunday.
Today has been a beautiful day so I have spent some time on my rooftop in my bikini, improving my spanish and just being happy to have the day off! Ciao!
