Some quick pictures taken in one of the alley ways off La Rambla in Barcelona.  This was taken a couple of hours after an all day blogger photo shoot session. I am here for the MNG for Mango project I mentioned before here and here.  Pictures will be up in a few days :- )
Barcelona so far has been brilliant.  We have all been busy since arriving but I’ve made it a point when I can each day to sit outside at cafes with a capuccino and walk all over the place.  The old buildings are stunning and seeing everyone riding around on scooters and bicycles reminds me of one of the things I’ve always missed about Europe.  To me there’s nothing quite like seeing men in suits walking down the streets holding their scooter helmets. More pictures showing Spain to follow.  
Tomorrow is a free day so a few of us will hit a few places, including a vintage area.  Will let you know you it goes!

    Diva, with your utter chicness, you are suppose to be there!

  23. Collections says:

    Ugh you’re making me so jealous. I miss barcelona so much. FYI be careful with your bag around las ramblas they pick pocket ALL the time there.

  24. elin says:

    I love this outfit!

  26. Rocío G. says:

    Can’t believe you’re here in my city right now. Don’t miss Gràcia, el Born and el Gòtic, the best quarters of the city if you look for something more authentic -far less touristic- than la Rambla. Enjoy 🙂

  27. Rocío G. says:

    I forgot: For sure you should also walk around the boutiques at Passeig de Gràcia for a more exclusive feeling (don’t miss Santa Eulàlia), ending up with a chocolate mojito at the mandarin hotel terrace, and having a look to manolo blahnik and tiffany’s boutiques in there…

    Wooooow! I’ve see you today on top of a bus turistic near Avenida Diagonal, stopped just in front of a cafetaria! I believed that was someone like you but now I see in your blog that you’re here in Barcelona! You wore the same hat that the photos and sunglasses type Lennon ¿¿???
    I’m so excited! 😀
