Journo Journey

As you all know, I am now working as the freelance contributor for SHOP Magazine from Barcelona, Spain. Here you can find a link to the website, where you can read up on what's hot, what's not and what's happening in the 'Ciudad Condal'...

Student Snacking...

It has been exactly 1 year since I was a student!

This past month I have become a student once more! I will be taking a 4 week intensive course here in Barcelona, to receive a certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and have spent the past month brushing up on all things English - Grammar, Vocab, Tenses etc...

BUT I have forgotten how I ballooned up in weight whilst as uni - SNACKING!!! Procrastination is definitely an issue when trying to study, and I have been snacking on some deliiiiicious chocolate croissants today, but it has made me realise what yummy treats are available here in Barcelona - Feast your eyes on these delicacies...

Tough Love

Here's a blast from the past! I have just found these ab-fab images of Mo-dell extraordinaire Hannah Lawrence, in a beautiful vintage floral maxi dress, a black waistcoat and some docks...

I am loving re-discovering this Tough Love look! With hints of 90's style, vintage pieces and a deep red lip, this is a look worth copying...

Until Next Year...

I am waving good bye to Pasarela Gaudi Novias for this year, and preparing for Barcelona Fashion Week in July.

I didn't realise I was going to have such a good time at this years Barcelona Bridal Week! The dresses, shows and performances were out-standing. Whilst collecting all of my notes and images, I am posting images of the outfits I wore to the last two days of shows...

Style Tip - Avoid wearing leather jeggings in the hot searing Barcelona sun... Fashion Fail for the Thrusday shows on my part...

Enjoy...

Red was the colour of choice...

Today was my first day attending Pasarela Gaudi Novias (Barcelona Bridal Week 2011) and I have had the most enjoyable day!

The day started at the Jesus Del Pozo show, with beautifull gowns, followed by Jesus Peiro (my favourite of the day) and finished off with Immaculada Garcia, Frans Baviera, Piedad Rodrigues and Teresa Ripoll. I will be posting a full report of the Bridal Shows at the end of the week, but have a look see at my outfit choice for today...

Brights are so on trend this Spring, that I decided to go for a grey and black combo in order for my vintage red jacket to pop - and pop I did!

Hope you like it and get some ideas and inspiration for your own S/S 2011 looks!
