But it was not your fault but mine, and it was your heart on the line

Hey!

A medley of photos to describe one of my days in Barcelona last week! We went to the best restaurant in town which only serves fresh fish and seafood. Its a bit like a market in that you have to queue up and have your ingredients weighed before they go and cook it for you, which adds to the whole atmosphere! Definitely one of my favourite places to eat ever, and it gets very busy very quickly, people just can't get enough of it!

Also I left you guys with two photos of the cutest dog in town, my auntie and uncle's dachshund, Dora, she is such a cutie, I miss her!

Loads of love,

Mine was entombed within boombox and walkman, I was a hoarder but girl that was back then

Hey everyone!

This is my second post about my time in Barcelona- it flew by! On the night that I arrived it was the festival of San Joan. It was literally the craziest fiesta I have been to- and I have been to a fair share- People throw bangers and fireworks on the streets to warn away evil spirits. It was literally manic little kids setting off fireworks left right and centre, but pretty hilarious! All I can say is it put our 5th November fireworks in the garden to shame!

Explaining doesn't quite do it justice, a visit to Barcelona on 24th June is highly recommended!

Its Friday tomorrow what are everyone's plans for the weekend?! Anyone watching Wimbledon? (that was a silly question!)

Hola amigos!

I am back from a week work experience with my auntie in Barcelona! It was fab, working in her skincare company- Alex Carro, I even got to make a few products which was an absolute treat! It was also a chance to practise my Spanish skills (cringe!) I go to Spain almost every year being half Spanish and all and it is literally my favourite place on earth! Shops close for lunch (food is taken very seriously there) and the night only really gets going at ten! Food and late nights galore its my kind of place!

These photos were taken on the weekend I arrived when we took a trip to the Picasso museum, which is set in a beautiful old building- like most of the buildings in Barcelona. If anyone is planning a trip to Barcelona it is definitely worth a visit if only for an hour or so! Being an art student maybe I am biased, but still...

The weather was amazing- although the locals were convinced it was a bit cold- I pretty sure I have become immune to cold weather after so many years in Britain! I was able to shoot a couple more outfit photos, we can finally get some summery outfits up on the blog, sorry it took so long, English weather is very unreliable!!

Loads of love,

I love this country dearly, I can feel this ladder clearly, but I never thought i'd be alone to try...


Hey :)
Happy days everyone, Paloma is back from sunny Spain!!! She just texted me saying she's landed and safe, this means more and more posts on the blog...and Spanish posts! Finally some sunshine on the blog. Talking of sunshine, us Londoners are experiencing something so alien to us, yes, higher temperatures and sunlight. This goes perfectly with Wimbledon, and I have to admit i've already had my fair share of strawberries and cream, whoever thought of that combo is a genius!

Well, here is a quick post of mine and Paloma's farewell ice-creams, the day before she left for Spain. We went to a cute lil' vintage style cafe, round the corner from our sixth form (convenient!), and bought  some delicious ice-cream, yes, all home made!! Paloma got peanut butter ice-cream, how anyone can eat the stuff i'll never know, and I got the luscious salted caramel. Brings back the memories of the beach where the salty air just seems to merge with anything you eat :)

Ooh, I have some news! I'm off on work experience in a theatre, as many of you know I have a passion  for theatre and acting. I'm so excited! Also, i'm hoping to study drama at drama school (if i get in), or uni. I've been to a couple of open days but at the moment, Bristol is really on the cards. It's so quirky with all of the vintage boutiques and tea rooms. Any suggestions?

Paloma and I will speak to you very soon, loads of love, Jess xxx
