VIOKO

Lately I have a thing for cute little candy stores! Not that I'm very much a candy person, I wouldn't say I have a very sweet tooth but I definitely am addicted to ice cream and fro yo and Vioko makes amazing ice creams and portions and just too big to be true! ;) CUTE!

A Walk in the Park

Shirt, Necklace & Bracelet - H&M, Leggings & Boots - Zara

One of the things I love the most about Barcelona (apart from the fact that I'm walking outside in a shirt without a jacket in December ;)) is that it's full of cute little parks which provide a lot of opportunities for photo shoots! ;) We fired these few quick test shots before an editorial session that my friend Caitlin organized (I was assisting her). It's amazing to find friends who share your passion for photography! We always have so much to talk about, not to mention that it's great for my blogpics too! ;)

Birthday Girl

Here is a picture from my birthday dinner from Friday. We went to one of my new favorite Barcelona places Bar Lobo, we ate good food and drank too much sangria and I blow out a candle wishing for the best! ;) It feels so good to have met so many great people in such a short amount of time in Barcelona. I love my new life and I love my new friends! ;)

Here is a quick snap of the presents I've received:

A beautiful silk top from Caitlin, OPI Nail Polish, BonBons & Flowers! ;) But by far the best present was that they all came to celebrate with me! ;) I wish you were there...

Cup & Cake Barcelona

Farah is one of my oldest blogfriends. We started to stalk each others' blogs the time I had my old old Barcelona blog, before Gypsy*Diaries (jeez it's been a while ;)). We bonded over our mutual love for Barcelona and our common plans of moving to this amazing city. As luck would have it we've just missed each other... Farah has spent the past one year in Barcelona and has left the month before I've arrived. (You might remember that we had bumped into each other last year) SUCH A PITY! Nevertheless, she has made a quick visit and we finally managed to spend a girlie afternoon together gossiping over cupcakes (new fave Barna hotspot! Cup & Cake). I am now SERIOUSLY in love with this girl! She is one of the coolest chicks I've met and I just know we would be BFFs had we lived in the same town (or at least the same continent, this hottie has just moved to Kuwait). Farah Babe, you're the best! Hope to see you again soon! ;)

I've tried Red Velvet cupcakes for the first time in my life... yummy...

Mi Habitacion

There is still like a gazillion things I want to do in my new room before it's finished (like painting the walls and finding a few new furnitures on the flea market) but here is how it looks right now. I love that the room has two big windows, so there is plenty of light and I also appreciate the strange form of the room, due to it being on the corner and all. I have waaay too many stuff (=shoes!) all over the place, but I've accepted that it will always remain somewhat busy and messy, and that sometimes we just need to let go and enjoy the mess! Right? ;)

 

My mannequin is a real diva, didn't appreciate moving countries too much... I love my new retro green leather couch and my new pear candle which gives an amazing smell to the  whole room!

 

Remember my globe lamp? A flea market find from Berlin.

I never had so many pillows in my life and I don't know why??? Seriously if you don't have at least 6 pillows in your bed go and get some!!! I feel like a prince while sleeping. ;)

Sneak Peek: Barcelona Crib

It's no secret that it was not love at first sight with my new apartment. I liked the location and the size&lightness of my room, but the rest of the apartment seemed to be way too messy for my taste. Since than I've learned to love and appreciate the bohemienne uniqueness of this artistic place and I've absolutely fallen in love with my flatmates. We are like a little family, everyone respects each other's privacy, yet we do a lot of things together. Movies, dinner, record spinning, baking... it's so much fun! Of course living with 3 other people has it's ups and downs but I'm really starting to feel home here! 

This time I thought you might enjoy a lil sneak peek into our living room... Next time I'll show you some details of my room! ;)

Hola, I'm back!

Blazer & T-shirt - Zara, Pants - Amisu, Scraf- from Istanbul, Sunnies - Mango, Shoes - Primark

Holaaa!!! Remember me? I know I know I should start by apologizing for being such a bad bad blogger and not posting much lately, but you know what, c'est la vie! Sometimes life just gets in the way and when you're homeless, in a new country with hardly anyone you know, they steal your spankin new camera you bought the day before just to better fulfill your blogger duties ;) and it's a struggle to get a stable internet connection, blogging just needs to take a backseat. Yeah a lot has been going on! ;) Today I've received my final moving box in my new room, which means that I'm officially totally moved! I'm LOVING it so far! It really is a dream come true and I cannot wait to share all my new stories with you! I'm back Babes! ;)

Big thanks to Caitlin for being awesome and taking these shots of me today in the break of our first photoshoot together! Caitlin is an ahhhamazing photographer who, just like me just moved to Barcelona! I'm lucky to know and have been able to assist this girl, who is responsible for so many beautiful images (including the latest Threadsence lookbook... have you seen it? LOVE!)

Parc Güell

It´s very probable that Parc Güell will become one of my favorite places in Barcelona! I only wish there were less tourists, pickpockets and more peace and quiet! Truly a stunning place and a must see if you ever come to Barcelona! Gaudi was a genious!
