Well I am back after a long 3 weeks. I was back home in Philadelphia visiting my family with my boyfriend. We had such a great time! We were busy everyday with a new adventure. We went hiking and canoeing, visited Longwood gardens and my mom’s place on the Chester River (near the Chesapeake Bay), stayed at my sister’s place in Philadelphia and went shopping, spent a day in New York City and took a little trip to Coney Island, and went to a wedding!
Well I just wanted to share some photos really. First off, my outfit for the wedding and the earrings I designed for my dress! My sister and I:

Here are some photos of fashion on the streets of Barcelona and Valencia. It was really hot there and most girls wore dresses or loose pants with tank tops. There was a lot of skin showing, as you try to wear as little as possible without being indecent. I even caught the dress bug, as I had packed only shorts and dresses and dresses were cooler by far. Flip flops were everywhere, as well as trendy fancier sandals. read more…

I recently returned from a trip to the Mediterranean cities of Barcelona and Valencia. It was a fun little setup actually. My sister, who lives in Philadelphia was going to do a dance workshop 2 hours from Barcelona and we would meet a few days before to hang out together in Barcelona. My boyfriend and his sister came along as well and after my sister started her workshop, we traveled further on to Valencia. None of us had been to Spain before, but Barcelona is one of those cities you always hear about, and I had always dreamed of visiting, so it was definitely the first city I wanted to see in Spain. Valencia was thrown into the mix because we wanted to catch up with an old friend there, which was a great idea, because we had a wonderful dinner with her.
So anyhow, on this trip, I really went photo crazy. Probably because I am a sucker for Gothic style architecture, I really enjoyed Barcelona. Wandering through the streets of the Barri Gotic was fascinating and something really different for me. (We don’t have any small alleys in Berlin, nothing that old and rustic.) We would just walk and walk and peep into the stores and restaurants that filled these streets, some being literally holes in the wall, and most having a unique and colorful style and appearance from the others. It was pure eye candy. We had many delicious meals in this area too, although unbelievably pricey for us Berliners.
My real favorite thing about these cities in Spain, was the balconies! I love, love, love balconies. I have a lot of shots of sweet little terraces with wooden shutters or straw blinds, and lots of potted plants with their greenness brightening up the facades. Enjoy! read more…
