Kittens & snakes!

Yes, Vogue España has done it again! Take a top model, add a kitten and a snake and throw in some spectacular clothes...Voilà! You've got one super-hot editorial spread that'll knock your socks off!

Although I loved the other editorials of Vogue España's april issue, top model Edita Vilkeviciute's striking cover shot captivated me right from the beginning and I wanted to flick through to see the rest of the shoot straight away!


The 18 page spread, entitled "Surf Urbano" (shot by David Vasiljevic,) was no less than a visual delight! The editorial taps in to some key summer trends - digital, tropical, floral, animal and graphic prints in bright and bold summery colours. Edita strikes great poses in a range of fitted bathing suits and dresses, whilst interacting with a kitten and a snake! The dynamism and playful energy that Edita exudes in the shots are testament to her eye for showing off the garments and her fluidity in movement - that snake has sure got some competition! ;)

Take a look at the pictures below! (The snake pictures are my favourite - and that's saying something, given that I am usually quite creeped out by them!)

When in España, shopping calls.

I am lucky enough to be spending 8 months in Spain (on a year abroad) and apart from experiencing a new and rich culture and improving my Spanish, I could hardly ignore the fact that I would be surrounded by a plethora of exciting new shops that don't exist in London!

Some of the new shopping delights I have discovered consist of a few local markets, which are great to rummage around in on a Sunday afternoon(I bought a lovely vintage-patterned scarf for a mere €2 in a market here!) Of course, there is also a dazzling array of high-street stores, such as Blanco (which has become my personal favourite), Sfera, Stradivarius, Bershka and the well-known fashion giant Zara (which is better in choice and price over here!)

The sales are also on at the moment, so I jumped at the chance to pick up some nice pieces for my wardrobe (which is currently just a fraction of my one back in the UK..dratted suitcase weight restrictions!)

Here are a couple of things I picked up recently:


I bought the black boyfriend blazer in Stradivarius for €20 and it's very lightweight and comfortable. Perfect to throw over pretty much anything - a real wardrobe staple.

The studded skirt is from Blanco in the sale reduced half price to €16.50! I'd seen an identical skirt in Topshop a few months back which was around £65 - seen on both Alexa Chung and Mischa Barton. I was thrilled to find this gem - the only one in my size and half price..what's not to love?!

Finally, I bought these cuff shoes in Sfera. As soon as I tried them on, I loved them. The heel height is perfect (enough to make an impact, but not too high that they make me ridiculously tall!) and they're super soft and comfy! I'm a sucker for peep-toes really! I can see these getting a LOT of wear!


Anyway that's all for now! Hopefully I won't get too tempted by the 75% off signs going up in all the stores near me!!
