TATA-NAKA y TAPAS


Last friday I shared some "creative planning time" with my sister and our best
girlfriends at a cozy Spanish Tapas Restaurant for our somewhere-along the-way
weekend trip to Barcelona.

on the way to the restaurant

Love the bangles ...

Along the way of tasting definitely too much garlic bread
it took "eternities" until everyone of us makes her choice for
"my tapas" and "tapas in the middle for everyone of us" ;)

Thanks there was no need for a second table .... ;)


"Baby it´s cold outside... "



The Tata-Naka dress was on my wishlist when I saw SJP in one episode
of SATC wearing it. It´s from Tata-Naka´s SS2003 collection and I stumbled
on it on ebay a few years ago. I believe I did not wear this dress
the last 2 years...

  13. martina!! this is def one of my most favourite outfit of yours to date!! I love the whimsical print of this Tata-Naka dress, love it more how you've matched them a pair of leggings and those gorgeous sandals!

    I have succumbed to wearing only sombre colors to match the wintery weather outside. Seeing these playful prints and bright colors on your outfit brought a smile to my face. This outfit is perfection, simply chic!

    Hey sweetheart!
    The Tata Naka dress is soooooo lovely! And aren't that the magnificent pair of CHLOE leggings Kate Bosworth was wearing?! 8-) Stunning, stunning outfit - I love the way how you're combining a Summer dress to a "perfect-for-all-seasons" dress!!!!!!!!! Looks so great on you!
    The details on the dress are amazing - and on the leggings as well (we can't see the amazing details on the pics here but they're truly fantastic!)!
    Wishing you a great start into the new week!
    much love, s.

    The food looks so delicious & what a better way to enjoy it more than with your bestest girlfriends.
    You look so pretty in your dress. I love the beaded embroidery on it and the way that it looks like the images were painted on with watercolors.

  39. Hello to you ;)

    A few years ago I searched for this dress on ebay, finally found the matching apron top listed by an us seller. I asked her about the dress as this was the one piece I was actually looking for. I could hardly believe when she emailed me back she had indeed this dress and also in my size! That´s the story I got my hands on it;)

    Keep my fingers cross for you and in case I will see this dress by chance I will email you!!!!
    Best,
    Martina
