 Barcelona 

Park Güell
Located at the top of the city of Barcelona, Park Güell occupies 20 hectares, being the larger work of Antonio Gaudi, a Catalan major architect , and one of the greatest exponents of modernism.
Throughout the park you can find the Gaudi style . You can see colorful mosaics or columns with amazing shapes, all in perfect agreement with the gardens that surround the entire park.
From the highest part you can have a panoramic view of the city of Barcelona.
In 1984, UNESCO named the Park Güell as an artistic monument of international protection.

La Sagrada Familía
The Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family is designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí.
The project was begun in 1882 and assumed by Gaudí in 1883, when he was 31 years old, giving him his last 40 years, the last fifteen uniquely.
Construction was suspended in 1936 due to the Spanish Civil War and is not expected for completion before 2026, the centenary of the death of Gaudí.

My Obsession: Shoes

I know I am not alone in my obsession with shoes. No matter what size I am, no matter if I lose weight or gain it, my shoe size never changes and my size 6 stays faithful to me. It's no joke when I say that I own over 200 pairs of shoes! My mom jokes that I seem to go to the mall for milk and I come back with shoes, but she's right. Shame shame I know, but since I am feeling all guilty and stuff I thought I would share some of my fav's with all of you guys.

I own a lot of GUESS shoes because for some reason they are super comfortable and well made, and they also happen to look pretty!

I even own 8 pairs of fall/winter boots... but that's a whole other post!

p.s. I actually gave away and donated over 50 pairs of shoes this past spring!

So my question is how many shoes do you ladies own?

Style Icon: Olivia Palermo

I hate to use the word icon. When I think of an icon I usually think of someone who is older, established and has been at their craft for a while. But I can't deny that Olivia Palermo has great style, a keen eye for fashion and whose "grandma chic" vintage looks have influenced today's generation of women. So for now I will use the word lightly to describe Olivia, knowing full well in a couple of years she will earn her status as a full fledged style icon! here are a few of her more recent looks...

Have a look at some of her other looks here

this post kind of reminds me of skittles....taste the rainbow :)
have a great weekend!!

Get Inspired: The Glamourai

Remember when I posted a while back about Kelly of The Glamourai's living room and what a great design aesthetic she has, well the same goes for her fashion sense. This girl knows how to put a great outfit together! I love how she layers her pieces and accessories and jewelry. Plus her colour combinations and styling are perfection. I fell in love with one of her latest outfits which she refers to as "condiment colours". These colours are just perfect for the fall season, don't you agree?

neutral fall colours, cute sunnies and a hint of leopard peeking through

super cute wedge booties

Here are some of her other looks that I love from seasons past...
