Barcelona was gorgeous, but it did not w o w me like Madrid. However, my outfits were still absolutely fantastical and managed to w o w everyone around me (#arrogant #true) which led to amazing photos that I still continue to stare at for over 10 minutes.
Madrid captured my heart and Barcelona helped me rediscover who I am. I feel like fashion played a huge role in finding myself again as it reignited my passion of photography and playing dress up... something I never have the opportunity of doing anymore as I am occupied at my restaurant job, wearing head-to-toe black.
People hate the idea of a person buying the same clothing item that they own... I am the opposite, I am truly flattered, so click on all the links and buy Buy BUY!!
Day 1: Arrival in Barcelona = Pool Day
Outfit Details
I posted these pictures on my Instagram story to show the people that I was in Barcelona, but I didn't expect the amount of dm's I would get from people wanting to know where I bought this one-piece from and I got it from Nasty Gal. Ladies, you will need to size up for this swimsuit as I am usually a Size 4; the model was shown wearing a Size 6 which is the size I ended up purchasing. sidenote: The alcoholic beverage tasted like cough medicine, don't let my smile fool you!!
Day 2: Gothic Quarters, Barcelona Cathedral, Picasso Museum, Ciutadella Park, Arc de Triumf, Palua de la Musíca Catalan
Outfit Details
✔️Altard State: White Flowy Dress with Blue Polka Dots ($29.99) - Small
I know you cannot tell, but I was sweating so much in this dress... every time I twirled I swear I could see my sweat twirling off my disgusting stinky body. However, the odor and humid weather did not stop me from feeling like a beautiful little princess in this long dress. Ladies, you also do not have to wear a bra in this dress which is always an extra bonus in my book.
Day 3: Camp Nou and Parc de Montjuic
Outfit Details
✔️Express: Leopard Maxi Print Skirt ($64) - X-Small
Another top where you do not have to wear a bra, can I get a BOOYAH!! I really hate wearing bras, they are super uncomfortable and stupid. I also want to say please oh please, do not waste $64 on a leopard/cheetah skirt... there are so many cheaper alternatives. I was just getting super desperate because the one I loved on the Lulu's site no longer had my size and this skirt looked similar to that one. At least the pictures came out beautiful. (:
Day 4: Sagrada Familia, Hospital Sant Pau, Carmel Bunkers (kinda)
Outfit Details
This dress was tight around the bum and hips, but pretty loose on my waist which is a problem I have been having for a very long time now that truly makes me want to scream. This dress is elegant, absolutely amazing for pictures, but H O R R I B L E for taking a long-uphill hike to Carmel Bunkers which we never even arrived too. My hands in the last picture were awkwardly placed like that too cover the huge spot of boob sweat that was continually growing. Also, the Sagrada Familia was gorgeous and despite your religion, if you have the opportunity to go... you must!!
Day 5: Birthday Celebrations (#20!!!!)
Brunch and Cake, Rooftop Views, Barcelona Beach, Ice Barcelona, and Barssss
Outfit #1
I felt like a Mexican Barbie in this dress in the best way possible, hugging all your curves and accentuating your waist. The fabric of this dress was fantastic and shows that the company provides you with the best quality possible also shipping is super fast. Personally, I recommend sizing up as I am usually a size small, but Tiger Mist clothing runs smaller.
Outfit #2
✔️ Pull and Bear: White Mini Embroided Dress ($14.99 Euro) - Small
I will not be able to provide a link to this store due too it being a European store. I am truly super sad that I will never be able to go there ever again until I return back to Europe as the prices are very inexpensive. I was always running into a Pull and Bear store when turning the corner on a street.
Outfit #3
Nasty Gal's swimwear are amazing, inexpensive and good quality which means all you ladies should go buy your latest swimwear from there as they are gorgeous and receive numerous compliments. These bottoms are extremely cheeky, but I personally don't mind my bum showing.
Outfit #4
I went to Gatsby Barcelona which is a bar dedicated to recreating the atmosphere involved in Great Gatsby. I felt very much like I had been transported into the movie as Burlesquey (is this even a word) dancers would perform every 20 minutes and everyone was dressed impeccable. My dress was classy and elegant, but still sexy as it was completely backless.
Day 6: Casa Milá, Parc Guell, Casa Batlló
Outfit Details
Another dress where I completely meant to order size 4 and ordered a size 8, which led to tying the strings super tight and becoming best friends with bobby pins. However, I really loved this dress and the "pretty in pink" attire I strived for, during this specific day in Barcelona. This whole pink look was the outfit I had been looking forward the whole time and I feel like this outfit gave me the best pictures out of the whole trip.
Day 7: Flying to the United States of America
Beautiful picture below of my MOST fashionable look

Side Note:
As much as I love clothes, we must remember to feel beautiful in our own skin despite the clothing pieces draped on our body.
