For the past week I have been quickly adapting to the European life stlye that I was completely taken by this summer. This lifestyle entails show-stopping street fashion, emerging cultures, endless history that is engrained in every little part of the city, breathe-taking architecture and long nights out that turn into the wee hours of the morning. Not to mention the fresh foods, sophisticated wine at most meals and the world-famous music culture. This is the life stlye I have missed tremendously and better yet the Spanish lifestyle is what I have been most intrigued by. The city is rich in character, to say the least.
From the tapas, to the paella and the fresh seafood on every dinner plate, I have yet to be disappointed. We even lucked out with being just down the road from Las Rambles which is an international shopping mecca. We even spotted Top Shop! And the Zara's here are on every street corner stocked with the best selection of inventory.

Tapas are little appetizers but they eat them as meals here... each one is unique to what you want!

To this day, I still remember the best street outfit I have ever seen in my entire life and it was here in Barcelona. The girl was wearing a beautiful lace, stark white Chanel day dress, paired with stark white Prada sunglasses and stark white Gucci sandals.. just stunning!
Not only is the life style here absolutely incredible, I think it is safe to say my roommates and I lucked out with our living situation.
I live with three other girls, two from University of Arizona, Lindsey Kiner and Emily Villavaso. The other roommate, Anna Cartwright is from Alaska and goes to Colorado State.
We live by Placa Tetuan in the Eixample Dreta neighborhood. We are in the ideal living location, right now the street from the most famous street in Barcelona, just a few miles from the beach, and less than five minutes from Campus. Another group of Arizona girls live above us, it all worked out too perfectly.

CEA has done an absolute phenomenal job with introducing us to our new host city. The first night we had dinner with a wide selection of tapas and during the day we took a bus tour of Barcelona to get familiar with the area.
We ventured to La Sagrada Familia, Mt. Montjuic (where the 1992 Olympics were held) and other neighbor hoods in the city.

It is hard to remember that we're here for school because there is so much to do and see but the classes here are surprisingly really interesting. When you are living in another country and learning about their culture in the classroom it makes you intrigued and have a desire to apply your classroom knowledge to your experience in Spain.
Also, I am taking a fashion class and I already have fallen in love with the course. The professor is incredibly hilarious and was a fashion photographer in London before moving to Barcelona to teach international students.
Life is perfect!
Until Next Time...
