Back to Black (and blue)

I have been out of posts for a little while as I got on with working and planning for my hols but with the help of my 12 year old sister behind the camera I managed to do some back garden blogging. I have worn these trousers and this coat before on my blog and the shoes have been instagrammed umpteen times but they are such goodies for an unpredictable english summer. V light weight and not too colourful, just what we like. 

Hopefully I will be updating much more as the evenings stay sunny and I have time to change out of my walking boots (I work at a hiking shop) and into my sandals.

Barcelona

So if you follow me on instagram you may already know I just returned from 4 days in Barcelona! It is one of the most beautiful and simultaneously boiling places I have ever been in my life, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Despite panting for oxygen in a busy metro station at least 3 times a day, it was all worthwhile for the ease of travel around the city. For 25 euros we got a 4 day pass which took us everywhere we wanted at super speed, including the Font Majic - Magic Fountain pictured above which had escalators to the top thank god. 

Another highlight of the trip was Cruilla festival, something we found out about after seeing a poster when having dinner in the main square one night. We booked tickets the next day and arrived at 7pm Friday night not sure what to expect. One of the greatest things about the festival was the cashless system where you uploaded money onto a chip in your wristband meaning you didn't have to take cash or card with you and could just pay with the band itself. Kendrick Lemar was the headliner for Friday night and although I was apprehensive I have to say he was one of the best live acts I have ever seen! Maybe it was the men walking round filling up my beer cup or the temperature, or the fact it was all set right next to a beach but there was such a peaceful vibe you don't often get with English festivals. 

I didn't do much proper outfit blogging just because it was so hot and most of the time I was in the same linen dress, but there were some dress up evening opportunities and stripes were clearly a theme. 

I can only apologise for not posting in two months, life has been rather uninteresting in the run up to my hols. I'm at a festival this weekend then off to Amsterdam for a few days so I shall be sure to document.
