Packing for my 10 day Western Mediterranean Birthday trip!



Summertime watermelon colors!



My carry-on items while waiting for my flight!

OMGG this book is soo addicting I couldn't put it down the entire trip.. I admittedly didn't love love the ending but it seems like it would be a easy transition for a follow-up book!  Btw this book was endorsed by Oprah.. and you know when Oprah likes it it automatically ends up on the NY Times bestsellers list. It's this author's first book too I bet he feels like he won the lottery! hahahaha.

Layover at London Heathrow!

Oh.Hell.Yes.

Might have did a little damage at Harrods :p

Cutest tote bags at Ted Baker!

Luxury shopping galore!

Luckily I had a 6 hour layover muhahahaha!

Honestly the Hubs is lucky I didn't do more damage than I did HAHAHA. :p

Crayfish sandwich

Pretty good.. if I closed my eyes really tightly and imagined it's slightly like eating a cross between a shrimp and langostine sandwich haha.

Loved this wall display luggage tags of the world!!!

Realized I've only been to roughly half of the locations on this wall.. need to step up my traveling game!

NEED.THIS.CHAIR.

Barcelona!

So excited to be able to visit again because I love this city :p

La Placa de Catalunya

Our Hotel.

No makeup.. I never EVER travel with make-up on.. it's soo so bad for you.  Ok I take that back I use to sometimes when I flew from SF to LA or Las Vegas.. but that's like an hour or so flights.  Definitely not international flights.

Chorizo

Manchego, Fried Black Cod, Empenadas

Our Hotel Bar.

What happens after the Hubs gets a few beers and sangria's in. 

::cringe::

Quickie Valentino Reveals!

Valentino Rockstud cuff!

I know a lot of you guys have seen me rocking my nude patent Rockstud slingbacks like no tomorrow in my OOTD's lately (tired of seeing them yet hahaha?).. I just can't get enough!  I'm obsessed haha!!

I've been hemming and hawing over the Hermes CDC cuff for YEARS.. but the idea of spending that much on a leather bracelet just seems obscenely crazy to me.. (I mean seriously it's like the price of a high end luxury bag!)

Couldn't justify it so I'm so happy I found these!

Had to snag the one in black :p

I literally stood in front of the mirror inside of Harrod's for 30 min (luckily I had such a long layover hahahaha) with one on each arm trying to decide which one to take home.. finally after 30 min. the salesperson said "Oh they're 30% off" 

I was LITERALLY like "OHHH SHIZ.. FML I GUESS I'LL TAKE BOTH"

HAHAHAHA

30% off plus I bought them overseas in Europe (designer luxury items are ALWAYS cheaper in Europe) = to me scoring these babies at 50% off!! WOOT!  Basically two for the price of one muhahahaah!

Just adore the studs + double buckle!!

<3 <3 <3!

Tank: CHARMING CHARLIE'S, Shorts: F21, Cuff: VALENTINO, Handbag: REBECCA MINKOFF, Sandals: F21

Hahaha couldn't wait to rock my new Rockstud cuff's as you can see!  I wore them immediately the next day! :p

Lunch!!

So happy they had this paper placement with all the pictures on it and I always keep a pen in my purse so I LITERALLY took out my pen and starting circling all the ones I wanted.

The Hubs had to stop me from trying to circle the entire sheet -___-

Afterwards when the waiter came over I just handed him my entire placemat MUHAHAHAH.

Octopus, Club sandwich, Crab sandwich w/ jambon

YUMMMS.

OHHEMMGEE the tapas here were insanely delicious.  

I mean INSANELY.

The jambon on cheesy scrambled eggs on bread.. so simple and yet SOO insanely delicious!

Shrimps, mushroom, bacon & Mini slider

Patatas Bravas, Shrimp Tempura, Croquette & Fried Asparagus 

Everything was soo good.. they had this one sandwich that I sadly forgot to snap.. it was a mini croissant stuffed with fake crabmeat, mayo, avocado and jambon. YES jambon.

BEST.THING.I'VE.EVER.EATEN.IN.MY.ENTIRE.LIFE.

Obsessed.  

Love when Magazines come with free gifts!!  

It's like in Asia.. love all the free totes.. the Asian ones are better they come in super cute floral prints hahaha. IDK why they don't do this in the US!!!!! Free gifts would make me buy magazines more.. HAHAHA.
