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.
