Zara Sale Purchase

I have to say that if you love Zara and you live in London then you must visit the Knightsbridge store. I went in on Friday and it was the first day of Sale. Don't get me wrong it was manic but the newly refurbished store looked amazing and all the sale was tidy and colour co-ordinated. A shoppers dream.

I am on a budget now whilst i try to save some money but have wanted this dress for ages! It was orginally £45.99 but in the Sale went down to £29.99. I can't wait to wear it when the sun is shining with some cute heels for a night out or some sandals for a boho vibe!

Topshop Sale - Bargain Buy

£34 down to £15. What can i say? I am a sucker for a good skirt and think this will work both in spring/summer and in autumn with tights. The cut is super cute. A bargain i think....Have you bought any sale bargains?

Blue, Black & Gold

Found this dress lurking in my wardrobe and thought it was too cute not to wear. Perfect for the unpredictable UK weather. Accessorized with black and gold accessories from Topshop which i thought would compliment the blue nicely.

The dress is quite old but is from Fever - they have a boutique near my office and i remember spotting this in the window and thinking it was a must have. If you like vintage/classic inspired pieces then check out their website here.

My Sandals, Belt and Necklace are all from Topshop. The belt and the necklace may still be in store but the sandals are from last year. I am so glad i bought them as they go with so many outfits and are super comfy!

Hotel - Chic & Basic Ramblas

When i went on holiday in Europe back in March, my favourite city that we visited was Barcelona. If you have always fancied a weekend/short stay visit then you need to check out THIS hotel! Out of all our hotels we stayed at during the holiday this was by far my favourite! So kitch and arty! Located just at the bottom of Las Ramblas (close to the port, beach, shops and restaurants!) this was a perfect place for city travellers to stay!

The car in reception is so adorable! And who else can say that a car was in their hotel reception?!
Our hotel room door - so cool! All rooms have a different 1960s influence.
The cutest city guide that you find by your bed! Suggestions and helpful tips!




And possibly the most amazing toiletries i have ever come across - the words make you smile and you can't say that always happens when you check out your hotel bathroom!

This is a budget hotel - the rates and city tax we paid were the cheapest out of our holiday but the effort they make considering this is top class in my opinion. It was a shame this was our first stop as no where else compared. There was a hotel bar that served the most delicious breakfast spreads - but if you don't want to pay an additional charge you can find somewhere else easily near by. The beds were comfy which was a treat after a day of sighseeing. The rooms were spacious but not overly furnished - perfect for those trips when you only spend time in your room to recharge your batteries before heading out again.

If you ever visit Barcelona and need some inspiration on where to stay (and are on a budget!) then this is the place for you! I cannot wait to go back - because i will! 100% - and i don't say that about many places! 

Have any of you got any Barcelona suggestions for my next visit?
