with Love from Barcelona

after checking out the beach and the some of the sights such as Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell I did more shopping and went to the Picasso Museum which was amazing. Let me tell you…the Zara in Spain is SICK. I was lucky enough to be at a hotel on the same street, the lovely Silken Gran Havana Hotel. It is one of the hugest Zara’s I have ever seen. The best thing was the insanity of the pricing compared to the US. OMG..so yall know I’m a shopping fanatic so I definitely looked up the prices of everything I wanted in US dollars and Euros. Spains prices were about $20-50 lower even with the dollar to euro conversion!
Fashion Steele’s all around!
So when I did my conversions (thanks converter app on my phone) I knew just how much I was saving.
I also did some cool thrift and vintage shopping in the El Born neighborhood of Barcelona which had the tiniest streets filled with boutique shops.

All in all a smashing good time was had by me and my friend. I also celebrated my birthday while there…hence the rasberry, strawberry, fudge cake thingy in a martini glass.
it was de-effing-licious.
one year older…and super inspired by my vacation.
i quickly came home and put together the most amazing outfits high off my Barcelona infusion.
the quirky thrift shop Le Swing Vintage was a jewel. I picked up the best sunglasses ever there!
i also spent a lot of money in Zara…enough that I may never shop there again this year.
soon i will post a video of Barcelona as a whole.

    I went to Barcelona with my bff and we loved it! Went to the exact same Zara, it’s actually the cheapest in Europe. Even in London we pay just a few extra but not that much. Hope you enjoy your vaycay 😉
