Barcelona was almost a month ago which is crazy. From exploring the hustle and bustle of Las Ramblas to taking in the captivating views at Montjuïc Castle and eating compious amounts of pizza. Here are a few photos from our trip.
The past Saturday was spent roaming the streets of central London with the girls! The buildings & architecture are to die for and so we couldn't help but take a few or maybe even 100 photos. Thankfully the weather was warm and all kinds of sunny, albeit there was a slight drizzle for a split second or so.
This is what I wore on the day I wanted to wear something comfortable but still quite casual. The shirt is from Zara along with the faux-croc burgundy bag. My knitted cardigan is from H&M, the patent loafers are from New Look and lastly my jeans are from Primark.
For breakfast we decided to head to Dishoom, considering our early start to the day breakfast was very much needed to help fuel the rest of our day. The interior was so lavish from the dark almost mahogany-style wood to the gold railings and leather seats. The food was just as nice I opted for the ever so classic chargrilled toast with a selection of jams.
Our first planned visitation was to the National Gallery which again has incredible architecture work and huge displays of paintings and art. I loved how calm the atmosphere was when we visited all you could hear is slight whisper and the patter of people's shoes walking from room to room.
Here's a snippet of the ever-so detailed interior from the painted arches to the marble pillars all encrusted with jewel toned paint. The lighting in some of the rooms was a little darker than others but in all honesty it added to the atmosphere.
This is a painting I managed to capture on my phone without anyone standing in front of it, I love the simplicity of the painting along with the colours. There was a whole array of art from portraits of people to more landscape type art.
I was more than delighted in discovering this room which was pretty much a basic room covered in black marble it was just beyond beautiful. I took its full advantage by taking lots of photos and managed to get this shot of my bag.
We then headed to Camden market in search for some mouth dribbling food and we stumbled upon cute stalls all offering something unique. These pancakes were fluffy and everything a good pancake should be which is covered in chocolate and heavily dusted with icing sugar.
Our last stop for the day was at Vapiano's who are well known for their delicious pasta. Despite the queue we had to wait over half-an-hour for we finally got our food. Now I say queue because unlike other food places where you usually wait for a waiter to bring your food here you wait in line while the chefs make the food from scratch in front of you giving you a whole other experience.
