A normal morning in Barcelona consists of me waking up, blearily checking my email, and then sqawking "coffee?" Usually we just go somewhere in the area, but on this particular day we headed into the city centre, to have a little wander around before I got back to essaying. We went to Els Quatre Gats, which used to be a modernist cafe were Picasso and his friends, among others, passed the time. It has been reborn as a tourist trap, but the building is still impressive and an enormous painting by Ramon Casas (this one)hangs inside. Afterwards we went for a long and procrastinating stroll through the streets of the Gothic Quarter. I'm sure anyone who has ever written papers is familiar with how many other things there are to do, outdoors, when you have an encroaching deadline...
dress: Pepe Jeans, sweater: H&M, scarf: gift from a student, necklace: Les Jumelles, shoes: Fly London, bag: Yorkshire Tea
I wish I could procrastinate my final papers by wandering the streets of Barcelona! Usually it's just the internet or laying in some grassy field on campus for me. I suppose procrastination is procrastination?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this is such a lovely outfit! I love your sweater and headscarf!
this was nice to read while i sit in bed drinking coffee and blog surf. just a quick little trip to Els Quatre Gats for coffee, no big deal! ...how cool. hope you have a lovely day.

ReplyDeleteps)as everyone said, barcelona is a terrific excuse to procrastinate!the problem is that i think redecorating your room, cooking and watching gossip girl make also wonderful excuses to postpone studying!

@Ebony Bolt: Well, you won't find too much Flamenco in Barcelona, though they do have a pretty boring dance called the Sardana! ; )
ReplyDeleteGoodness, how I love your outfit! The head scarf is the perfect finishing touch!
