Hola.

Spain is ah-mazing as always, but it's going by so quickly! (Don't worry, we still have three and a half weeks left.) So far, I've gotten two bags and two sweatshirts. Why I got sweatshirts, I have no clue, but the Nike outlet was too enticing. They were 50% off the already marked down price, and I needed sweatshirts for the fall. I guess the upside to being super short (5 feet 1/4 of an inch tall to be exact) is that you can fit into kid's clothing.

Pictures of the bags will be posted further down. Coincidentally, they both have fringe.
Oh, and Gabi wanted to model one of my sweatshirts for me so I took some pretty dope pictures of that.

I promised a packing list, so here it is:
(Boys, sorry, but I don't know how to pack for you.)

• DRESSES, DRESSES, AND MORE DRESSES. They're perfect because they're easy, and breezy. They always look nice, and sometimes don't need to be ironed. I'd suggest something like this:

For any occasion, for a day out or a casual dinner. 

Another casual day dress

This could be for the town, or as a cover-up for the beach.

Another city/beach dress. 

This would be good for a nicer dinner out. 

• Comfortable shoes. Last year, I was forced by my many blisters to buy some good walking shoes. You literally walk MILES every day, and without appropriate shoes, you'll die. I'm serious. Right now I'm living in my Chaco's. 

I've hiked, walked, biked and swam in these.

Last year I debated getting these Camper ballerina flats, but I didn't. Regardless,  they're cute and practical. 

Simple

• Swimsuit. It's pretty self explanatory. If you're going to the beach, it'd be smart to bring one. I prefer two pieces. 

If you like nice patterns

I'm digging the vintage glamor look. High waist to the max.

•  Bags. Think easy, goes with everything, and won't bug the crap out of you. I prefer cross body, and large totes for the beach. 

This bag is ideal. It's versatile, stylish, never gets old, and is simply discreet. 

Make sure your beach tote is recognizable.

Something like this is large enough for traveling in the airport and small enough to carry around as a handbag.

Here are my two new bags as promised. 

The black one is from this store called Blanco. I got it for 4.99 euros! The tan one is from the outdoor markets in Seville. It's 100% leather, smells amazing and will only get better with age. It was 30 euro, but totally worth it. If I had bought it through a store, like say j.Crew, it could have easily cost $200.

Gabi's modeling:

Sweatshirt: Nike Outlet

Style: Little kid retro 

Cost: 10 euro

Note: Woody

As a farewell to this post: 

Plaza de Espana, where we were stranded and lost for a whole 45 minutes. It was exhausting. 

Besos
