The cute little animal is hilarious, I had to smileeeeeeeeeeee so much!!!! I wish I was at the airport to see you in person. You look so precious with these jeans, tee and cardi!
    Isn´t Park Guell the most beautiful place in the city?

    Love your pictures of the city!
    Love the little animal in the pictures!
    and of course I
    Love you :-)

    Have a great day, Martina

    My heavens! Love looking at your Barcelona photos...beautiful! I hope to visit Spain someday...please Lord! haha!

    Great color of the cardigan...I think a cardi is a must when travelling! Will carry one of mine for the NYC trip.

    And I'm so happy to see your sexy self in that Marni dress! Very nice outfit for sunny Barcelona. The sunburn will be just fine soon!

    And your furry friend (what's the name?) is a star! Will make sure my own Pathi doggie befriends your companion! haha!


    I can now imagine the beauty of Sagrada Familia and the Gaudi park. Thank you for sharing Barcelona with us!

    Take care Martina.

    Hello dearest Martina!

    Such lovely pictures! I enjoyed specially the Gaudi buildings! I've been wanting to go to Spain for the longest time now, planned 3 times already but had to cancel at the last minute. So thank you for taking all of us to Barcelona in this lovely post!

    Wait a minute, Gigi the giraffe was left home alone?! I'm so jealous of your little stuffed friend that got to go with you. Next time, you can just stuff me in your bag so I get to go too!!

    Love your outfits and your bags! Glad you had a super fun time!

    Happy Thursday to you!

  15. What Was I Thinking?September 2, 2009 at 10:34 PM

    Hi Martina, what a fun idea bringing your fuzzy friend along!

    I love the colour of your Balenciaga bag.

    Do you by any chance know how to pronounce prorsum? Because I said it out loud today for the first time & it sounded so strange!

    Sorry about your burn, babe. Hang in there :)

    Happy thursday to you all (on a cold, rainy and a little bit of sunshine day here... brrrh ;)

    The little "furry friend" has unfortunately still no name; it´s actually a cat :)


    Christine-
    wish I could explain in this comment how to pronounce "Prorsum"; believe it´s worth an extra post on "How do I pronounce the brand".. Prada and Gucci seem to be easy .... but brands like Lanvin, Givenchy, Balenciaga, Revillon are sometimes more a miracle in pronouncing :)


    Wishing you a wonderful and hopefully sunny day!

    Hi Martina. Those photos of Barcelona are magnificent. What a beautiful place. Antonio Gaudi's Park is absolutely magnificent. It looks like you had a really fun time on your trip. Looks like you got a little sun as well :)

    I love your first outfit of you at the airport. The boyfriend jeans and your bag goes so well together. You look so chic when you travel.

    The rolling boat also looks like a lot of fun. This is a great post, Martina and thanks for sharing these photos with all your readers. I'm sure we all really enjoyed the pictures.

    Thank you for leaving so many comments over the past few days, while I was traveling, on a plane, and getting settled. I always love reading your comments. Thank you so much, Martina.

    I hope you're having a wonderful week.

    All the best,

    Hi Martina. My first weekend in Australia was really good. I did a bit of shopping on Saturday, but went home early cause it got a little stormy. Can't wait to take some new outfit pictures for everyone to see. On Sunday, I met up with a friend for lunch and coffee. I also went to the beach just to check it out. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera on me, so I'll have to make another trip down there to take some nice pictures. The beaches here are absolutely unreal and breathtaking.

    I find it hard to believe there isn't very many malls in Geremany. In Canada, there's tons! Everywhere! In almost every city! In Calgary, where I'm from, we have 7 big malls. I guess it's where we do all our shopping.

    Thanks again for leaving sucha a nice comment, Martina. I hope you're having a great weekend and I'm looking forward to reading your next post.

    I love your little furry friend :) And great Bal Weekender! What color is that? It looks like Blue India in some pictures but could also be Anthracite because of the light. Anyway, lovely images... most of them very familiar ;-) But we never made it to Montjuc because we didn't have enough time.. hopefully next time!

    Hello to you all on a monday evening.
    Finally the summer was back today!

    Haute-Shopper-
    I honestly have to say.. I have no idea about the official color of the weekender! Let me know if you wish to check.
    It actually looks like a mix of blue & anthracite. Hope this was helpful!

    Good Night to you all!
