Barcelona


I have done alot of traveling in my lifetime  but I have never fallen in love with a city like I fell for Barcelona. It is one of those places I could move to in a second. The city is gorgeous and huge, with an extremely relaxed and creative atmosphere. It is the place I was made to live.  The architecture is amazing. A huge mishmash of styles, colors. and textures.
The people were fabulous and fabulously dressed. And ohhh, the shopping... We found little boutiques selling handmade soaps, bazaars selling anything you can think of set up in the squares. And of course I had to check out the Chanel store next to my hotel!
Definitely a place of huge inspiration for me and hope it can be for you too!

i love vintage

What is it about those awesome vintage finds that makes your heart beat just a little faster?  For me, it is  knowing that the piece has a history and usually is not just thrown together from an assembly line.  It comes from a time when things were made to last longer than a couple of years.
These are my favorite vintage finds on the internet for Tuesday- enjoy!
