Shoes: Calvin Klein

Bag: Prada

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

Necklace: Swarovksi

After a long and stressful week at work I am definitely looking forward to the weekend. Starting the day right with a trip to Au Bon Pain for a much needed chocolate croissant. Chocolate really does cure all.

P.S. I'm seriously obsessed with these jeans that I found in Barcelona. I love how the color goes from dark green to nave to black, keeps you guessing doesn't?

Hope you all have a great weekend :)

Layers

Blouse: Club Monaco (great color for fall)

Pants: Zara

Shoes: Sam Edelman

I recently purchased yet another red lipstick this time from Stila and I must say I'm a little obsessed. The deep hue perfectly transitions for fall but most importantly this lipstick stays on!!! the whole day.

Hope your week is off to a great start (I’m secretly enjoying mother nature thus far).

You see what I mean? No matter where I am, Zara seems to follow me or is it the other way around?!

(5) You didn't think I would go a week without shopping, did you?! J

Ok... where to start? I had such an amazing time although I was itching to get back and blog about it, how crazy is that?  The culture, the people, the architecture and can we talk about the clothes? First off, I never thought so many stores even existed ( and I live in NY) ha; anything from Zara and Dior is lined up all throughout beautiful streets of Barcelona.

On my last day I finally made my way through Zara and BCBG (pictures to follow soon).

Flowers & Prints

Blouse: Zara recent

Skirt: Club Monaco (craving this one)

Shoes: Via Spaga

Bag: Prada

Necklace: vintage

This skirt is one of my favorite pieces because it works for all seasons and has an amazing flow to it. The flower pattern makes it really fun and feminine and this trend is definitely carrying into the fall. Paired with these shoes, it makes the perfect outfit for the office or a date.

PS. Off to Spain for a much needed R&R. See you in a week! Lots of pictures to follow.

I love this black and white contrast of the shoes. It adds just the right amount of pop, meanwhile still keeping the look fresh and professional.
