I love shopping around the world: Cadaques

Hola chicos! Now that spring is already here and summer is coming (GOT reference!), it's time to think to some holydays destinations (yes, I know is a bit too soon, but let me dream). And when I think to summer, to sun, to sea I can't help myself to think about my beloved Spain. On the border with France, in the most continental part of Spain, in the heart of the province of Girona, there is one of the most beautiful and picturesque city that I've ever seen: Cadaques, landing place for writers and artists remained famous in history, like Bunel, Picasso, Mirò and the enigmatic and eccentric Salvador Dalì, who there built his own home (I suggest you to pay a visit, it totally worths it).

I love shopping around the world: Barcelona

Hy guys! One of my favourite moment of the month is finally came! This time our globe brings us into the heart of Spain, in the colorful, charming and sparkling Barcelona, to the overwhelming rythm of flamenco. Chief town of Catalonia, Barcelona is for sure one of the most beautiful european capitals, full of a timless charm, old tradition and a cosmopolitan spirit that make it one of the most unique cities in the world, with an extravagant architecture, a delicious cusine and an exciting nightlife. And if it's not enough, it's a true paradise for shopping with stores, vintage markets and shopping malls. But let's proceed with order.

Fashion trends 2012: Matador

One of the most iconic trend of S/S 2012, is the one inspired by hispanic culture, the Corrida de toros and toreadors. Illuminated by the blazing sun of Spain, uincited by the shouts of spectators, unusual toreador women parade in their traditional short jackets and stretch pants giving life to a very particular trend.

The matadors are celebrated by Moschino on s/s collection, during the Milan Fashion Week 2012. Looking at this fashion show, I've immediately thought to movie "Habla con ella" by Pedro Almodovar. 

Habla con ella (2002) by Pedro Almodovar

I really liked the idea to bring on catwalk a piece of Spanish tradition, but despite an appreciable effort, I don't think this is exactly a wearable collection... a little too folk. Of course this is a personal opinion, even if I have to admit that, next to unwearable garments, there are other ones that, take individually, are more suitable, and that we can consider must-have of season.

What do you think about?
