Style and Travel: Barcelona Baby

HOLA!!

Casa Batillo
Parc Guell
Sunset at Barcelonata.
At Barcelona FC Official Retail Store outside Nou Camp Stadium.


I landed on Barcelona about 2 months ago for 4days 3nights family vacation. The place was spectacular with Antoni Gaudi's unique building architectural designs. Gaudi's has made one of remarkable pieces in world history. No one in the world could ever challenge this Spanish Catalan gothic-based creations (as yet). The churches, especially La Sagrada Familia was purposedly made spooky dark with an almost hallucinatory power. In fact, La Sagrada Familia is never completed and always under construction ever since it was built in 1884, the same year Gaudi's started his career. Rumours told that the church was meant to be never-finished as to show how brilliant Gaudi was when no one could ever do the same as Gaudi's masterpiece.


La Sagrada Familia.

Montjuic Castle serves the place where you can be on top of Barcelona. Going uphill, family and I had to choose a cable car or else we could never make it. The view of Barcelona from the castle was fantastically magnificent!!! (exaggerating..). Inspite of the city, I can see the artificial shores from Barcelonata Beach as well as the Port of Barcelona which situated on the north coast of Balearic Sea.



At one of the stall in front of La Sagrada Familia.

Top to toe: Tie rack scarf, A Gucci shade, DKNY Hobo bag, A striped dress from Zara, Jeans that I cant recall, and Wedges.

The Zara dress is super light weight, easy to squeeze and very handy for a traveller. Defintely, a space friendly.

I also visited Parc Guell, a UNESCO world heritage garden complex also designed by Antoni Gaudi. I was looking forward the walkway where ANTM used to made it as their runway and it worked. The park was huge as we started from the back exit. Thus, it was quite a distance to reach to the main concourse including the walkway. Oh ya, the walkway is not just an ordinary pathway. It was built just underneath the side of the hill. It was designed like a sloping arch with one side of the wall kept opened, the roof supported by the "tree trunks" and the other wall is closed. The whole idea was incredibly magnificent. Subhanallah.


At the walkway in Parc Guell.
Top to toes: Tie Rack scarf, White Blouse from Calvin Klein, Waist Belt from Pennys, Awear Bootcut Jeans-like-trouser, Snake Print Pump from Dunnes.

White top goes with anything. If you're looking for style in travelling, white is the perfect colour to look elegant.

Lets move to fashion style. As usual, before start packing, I have to make sure all the clothings are easily matched to each other. I brought 2 pair of shoes. I chose to wear wedges on plane as to save some spaces for other needs. While, the other shoes was a soft snake print pump which I can slip in anywhere in the baggage.




Top to toes: Black long scarf, Checkered Dress from Replay, Skinny jeans from Awear, and Wedges.

At Placa Catalunya, awaiting tour bus to go shopping at La Roca Village.

ADIOS.
