En Mi Bolsa

I can hardly be accused of being someone who unpacks quickly at the end of a trip. Desperate to hang onto that holiday feeling I spend most of my first week back staring at my suitcase and working out how long it is until it's actually needed again. (Answer: depressingly long.)


And I'm no better with handbags I've used while away. My Mulberry Tillie was my most used one and when I came to empty it last night I thought of my post some time ago about handbags contents so this is a sort of part 2 of that. A holiday edition if you will.


Take a look inside...








So I like options of necklace and flat shoes if my feet get sore - what of it? The rest seems fairly self explanatory but it would appear I used the tube a fair amount. Still finding tickets in pockets and other bags even now!

Wednesday

Sunny Days

Hello All!

I am back from my week in Barcelona...and devastated. From 28degree heat to this?! No bueno.

I managed to get some lovely shots of outfits but they're currently being processed so for now you'll have to make do with a montage of iPhone pics I gathered while away.

Back to full blogging capacity within the next day or so (in London tomorrow for work so never easy blogging on those days but we'll see..)

















I love the style of this city. People dress (mostly) extremely well - the men look so much better than here in the UK. And the lifestyle is perfect - early mornings, siestas, socially orientated and everyone seems to own a dog; they are everywhere! I loved it so much I am enrolling in Spanish classes so the next time I go I can get even more out of my time there.

The blurred pics are of rollerbladers. At about 12.30am on Saturday night hundreds came flying past us as we ate tapas near our apartment. You would never get this here!

And the band playing were a jazz group who were performing on Sunday just to celebrate a small delicatessen near us turning 100years old. There is nothing I don't love about this city.

Take me back, Barca!

Organised Chaos

You may have gleaned from recent posts that tomorrow I am Barcelona bound for almost a week.

With this is mind last night was dedicated to creating outfits for the upcoming days. There's nothing worse (in my head) than returning from holiday and finding half the items you've packed never saw the light of day - that space could have been used for new things!

My mum is someone who I trust my style with so I took pictures of all outfits and potential accessories for day/night and emailed them all to her for the once over and any alterations.

Now I'm not sharing full outfits with you as my sister, who is an amazing photographer, will be with me and be able to get great shots while I'm out there but here's a sneak peek of what to expect from me, sartorially, in the next week.










If I don't manage to post while I'm away expect a big 'un next week upon my return.

Have a great Bank Holiday/Jubilee weekend all!
