My babe ZOEY!

With the MANGO team at MANGO headquarters! I love these girls so much!

Went out for Japanese food with friends! So yummy!

Stumbled upon a random bar with a too small bathroom with absolutely no toilet paper.

See, told you I’d bring this skirt on my trip! I walked around the city alone one morning to snap some street shots. It was the most refreshing and relaxing thing ever. The weather here is so perfect during the day with the sun out. Only at night do I bundle up in a scarf and wool coat. I am so happy I’m staying with Zoey here in Barcelona. Getting to see the city with someone who actually lives here is amazing. We went out with her friends to a local Japanese restaurant. They are so fun! After gorging on mushroom balls and miso soup, the girls tossed me into a cab and before I knew it, we were at a random bar, had a bit too much to drink…. and I spilled a drink all over my skirt. Still wondering how I’m going to wash the darn thing. Anyways, we are each from different countries so it was interesting to hear everyone’s stories. And for us to all be here in Barcelona is crazy! I’m glad I got to meet these ladies and become friends. Another reason to come back and visit Europe! Enjoy our crazy night shots… I left the scary ones for my eyes only 🙂

Cappuccino at my favorite little cafe Crusto!

I carry around this little English Spanish dictionary. Have I used it yet? Nope.

FOOD FOOD FOOD. Spaniards and their bread. SO GOOD.

Playing around at Zoey’s house! I’m wearing the sequin dress she designed for her new label, Disco Pony! I’m in love with it! We went out and and made a beautiful video around the city (shot by Zoey’s filmmaker fiancee, Albert)! I cannot wait to see the final result!

GAUDI architecture!

Went to dinner with Denni of Chic Muse the other night! She has already flown back out to Mexico and I miss her so so much already! Had an amazing time eating super thin pizza and ordering ridiculously expensive beer at the hotel haha.

SUAREZ! I pass this nearly everyday here. It’s a jewelry store here in Barcelona.

I have currently moved from the gorgeous Hotel Omm to the even more gorgeous home of my good friend Zoey, of the blog Make Shift Model. It’s really just about 2 blocks from the hotel and it is like a palace! Zoey and her fiancee Albert have been incredibly nice and have really made me feel at home here in Barcelona. I have been having a wonderful time working with MANGO this week and now I’m free on holiday for pretty much the rest of the week! I have been spending my time roaming, taking a ridiculous amount of pictures, and trying all the different types of food. Also, I am obsessed with the coffee here!
I’ve been meeting so many amazing people here and made such great friends, making this trip unforgettable. For the rest of the week, we’ve made plans for hitting up the beautiful beach and possibly squeezing in some much needed shopping. I honestly don’t know what to buy here though. Hoping to find some vintage. As for my wardrobe, luckily I packed a few pairs of ballet flats. Perfect for the massive amounts of walking I’ve been doing. I will definitely keep you updated on the rest of my travels here in Spain!

But for now, continue to VOTE for my MANGO looks HERE! Thank you to all who have already done so!

We went vintage shopping! Bought the amazing vintage hat I’m wearing!

Richie, Chiara’s boyfriend, must have gotten sick of taking photos of us. He’s a troooper!

COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE

CHIARA!

Ended our night at Big Fish. Sushi, sushi, and more sushi! Here with Chiara and Andy! Wonderful meeting these girls! They are so fun!

I am here in beautiful Barcelona, Spain! This pretty much covers my first day in Europe. So so exciting! I arrived early Monday morning and checked into the beautiful Hotel Omm. The flight was pretty long, about 12 hours total, and I was definitely a bit jetlagged but there was no way I was just going to take a nap in my room. Instead, I decided to call and meet up with Zoey Bittleston of Make Shift Model. We are so much alike it is insane. I’m happy the crazy world of blogging brought us together. I swear she is my other half. . . on this continent of the world! ‘m so lucky to have her this week to show me around the city and take me to all the best spots. We also caught up with Chiara Ferragni of The Blonde Salad here as well. Chiara and I are both working on the MANGO project here in Spain. So amazing meeting her after reading each others blog for quite some time. I loved getting to know a bit more about her and her Italian background. Walking through the bustling streets, they introduced me to the European culture and lifestyle. We went for vintage shopping and coffee. Me, asking for something like Starbucks grande vanilla latte at an underground coffee house was hilarious. You see, coffee here is cherished and is appreciated. Thankfully, Chiara and Zoey gave me the run down. Grrr, us Americans…know nothing about coffee. hehee. There is still so much to see here and learn about! I’m excited for the rest of the week and can’t wait to getting started on the MANGO project! Stay tuned!!
