<span lang="EN-GB">Every once in a while (not so often,
though) one rambles around a beautiful city and bumps into a store that has a
charm like no other. That, </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="FR" style="mso-ansi-language: FR;">mes chéries</span></i><span lang="EN-GB">,
is what happened to me just a few days ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I was wandering around the neighbourhood of
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">El Born</i> in Barcelona. A neighbourhood
known for its character, multicultural setting and its one-of-a-kind local
stores. Old streets where it is easy to find great vintage stores like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Le Swing</i>, little cafes to enjoy
delicious macaroons like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bubó</i>, or, as
was the case, the incredible store Ivori.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Ivori is a clothing store that opened last December. It is run by a Catalan designer with incredible style and eyes and only sales clothing by local designers that has been produced in Barcelona (minus the shoes, that, however, are also produced in Spain). </span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 9pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I saw the window of the store and it immediately caught my eye. A beautiful and distinctive bag was hanging, and taking a peek into the place , I saw a pair of shoes that I also felt in love with. I dragged my boyfriend into the store and I was surrounded by back-opened dresses, shirts with unique cuts and the feeling that I had discovered a gem.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-GB">If you live o are visiting Barcelona, Ivori is a store that you must visit. I assure you, you won’t regret it. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="mso-ansi-language: CA;"><em>De tant en quant, una es troba donant una volta per un dels seus barris preferits de Barcelona, com és el Born, i de sobte descobreix una tenda única que té un encant com cap altra. Això és el que em va succeir a mi fa uns dies quan vaig topar-me amb la tenda Ivori. La botiga, que va obrir al desembre, és propietat d’una jove dissenyadora local amb un estil únic i un ull fantàstic per peces boniques.</em></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 9pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: CA;"><em>Passejava pel carrer i em va cridar l’atenció una bossa que hi havia l’aparador, així que espiant dins la botiga vaig veure també unes sabates que em van enamorar. Evidentment, vaig arrossegar la meva parella a dins on em vaig trobar envoltada de preciosos vestits d’esquena descoberta (la meva obsessió), samarretes amb un tall únic, i el sentiment de què havia descobert un tresor.</em></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 9pt;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: CA;"><em>Encara més em va agradar la botiga quan la dissenyadora em va explicar que tota la roba, sabates i complements que hi ven és de dissenyadors i dissenyadores locals, i que la roba es produeix a Barcelona (menys les sabates, que també es fan al país però).<o:p></o:p></em></span></div>

Saying
that is simply an understatement. I have featured my beloved city on many
occasions so far (<a href="http://chocandcinnamon.blogspot.com.es/2011/03/my-barcelona.html">here</a>, fore example) But that, I tell you, is not going to prevent me from
doing it again. As a new “category” of the blog, I will try to post more
pictures of my favorite spots and neighborhoods, whether it is pictures of the
streets, new restaurants and stores, and, of course, from now on, I will post
pictures of my trips. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This last
year has probably been the most stressful yet. Regardless of how little I write
and post on this blog, it is something that has also been reflected here. However,
most of what has been going on for the past few months (and the fast four
years, as a matter of fact!) is coming to an end. </span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 9pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Fear?
Yes, undoubtedly, but also the conscience that what’s to come is going to be
the best yet. I have graduated from law school, I am still working at the same
law firm, but that is coming to an end too. And tones of the decisions will
have to be made on the following weeks (also decisions about this blog, I won't lie to you, c<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">losing it definitely was an option, but I have
decided otherwise, you will see changes!). </span>All of the efforts and hard work are
paying off (more on that later) and I couldn’t be happier, I know I did my best
and now I am seeing the results, but for now, and despite the uncertainty of
the future, I am trying to finally unwind a little and enjoy the spare moments
that I have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

For
the occasion, and despite the warm weather, I was wearing jeans, an extremely
comfortable shirt by Código Básico and the wedges that have accompanied me during many summers
now (from Mango). As it was casual Friday in the office, I was allowed to wear jeans, however,
shorts of course are not an option. </span></div>

always dreamt of travelling all over the world, with hardly any exceptions. Interaction
with other places and cultures enriches one’s view in ways that not many other

need to learn about it myself, with no intermediaries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58716072@N05/8711872362/" title="IMG_8686 by ChocandCinnamon, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_8686" height="427" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8538/8711872362_9c56b8e09a_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Six months
ago I started working at a renowned law firm as an intern. Many things have
changed since then, and I am convinced that professionally, it has been a
milestone. But along the professional side of the many changes that have occurred,
all these changes have also had a big effect on my personal life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Being
accepted at such a law firm has given me a lot of confidence and has made me
proud of myself. Saying that I am a perfectionist would be an understatement,
and to me, what I do is never good enough, or enough itself. I tend to
undermine my achievements and blame luck for what works out. Being hired by Mystery
Firm (we will call it that) and the fact that later on they have extended my
contract, has made me realize that maybe I do play a big role on what I succeed
in, and has given me the impulse that I have always lacked of due to fear of
failure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Of course,
it has also been an incredible learning experience. It has taught me the
importance of rigor, of teamwork and to manage my time more effectively. However,
the combination of working everyday at a law firm, being on my last year of law
school, being a research assistant at the university, and presiding an
association has put me in an unprecedented state of constant stress (and
believe me, prior to that there have been many other times when I have been
under a lot of pressure!). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Working
long hours, sleeping very little, spending every single weekend during months
studying and working, feeling exhausted all of the time, having meals on the
train on a daily basis while going from one place to another are just some of
the examples of what my life has been lately. I am well aware of how fortunate
I am for doing so much, especially in a context like the Spanish were the
crisis is having devastating consequences, primarily within young people. But
sometimes, I feel like everything is simply too much, that I can not handle it
all and that maybe I should just give up. As a result, there have been a few
realizations that I am trying to implement to deal with endless to-do list in a
more positive note:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Akashi is a very authentic tea house, Japanese bar and photo gallery where Japanese sweets are in order, tatamis are included, and the service is exceptional. Located in the centre of Barcelona (c/Rosselló 197) it is definitely a must go place for those of you who, like me, enjoy this drink. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtLWWKEF_jOQ94dXIURozM0n0QbbaXH5Iz77jY5_OyPalZ9yAkgg_gU1NWI4mec8vJa0ZvmlzCe6H5twdWH0AWNk_4zcbBk_AsT2XJpmug4iEO6obDN9LmUMeEPqCYMJBc066-z3N4Tmw-/s640/blogger-image--79714282.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtLWWKEF_jOQ94dXIURozM0n0QbbaXH5Iz77jY5_OyPalZ9yAkgg_gU1NWI4mec8vJa0ZvmlzCe6H5twdWH0AWNk_4zcbBk_AsT2XJpmug4iEO6obDN9LmUMeEPqCYMJBc066-z3N4Tmw-/s640/blogger-image--79714282.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbBXxvlnyxLKZ5hGgOlfvD3AyCuFFv6soNaQrZFa7g4yNqOpgrycsDUasCLWO9-9i1_lxPRHQ7EwRMdILlRhtKeWzHUL50YyubnirPaDQnuX3WWO7fGxcKwfrkWP-U9W0ZmDlNJhcrMoV0/s640/blogger-image--2136369038.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbBXxvlnyxLKZ5hGgOlfvD3AyCuFFv6soNaQrZFa7g4yNqOpgrycsDUasCLWO9-9i1_lxPRHQ7EwRMdILlRhtKeWzHUL50YyubnirPaDQnuX3WWO7fGxcKwfrkWP-U9W0ZmDlNJhcrMoV0/s640/blogger-image--2136369038.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJOQs_qskQOuy2J0KE9DLQJ_l9yWrDsLdsHYZdGjQMzW0ylsAZqB4mov2QGtwr11aOJEcvBCKr_f3HUBFDZpgD4LQM1m9tm3n3hDMhqhzoJcIdCIKQxKtzK5p97EpLnyylyA6U4X_NoXm4/s640/blogger-image-116408703.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJOQs_qskQOuy2J0KE9DLQJ_l9yWrDsLdsHYZdGjQMzW0ylsAZqB4mov2QGtwr11aOJEcvBCKr_f3HUBFDZpgD4LQM1m9tm3n3hDMhqhzoJcIdCIKQxKtzK5p97EpLnyylyA6U4X_NoXm4/s640/blogger-image-116408703.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvdgyIDl_bMaizZYavJt4MmQAze2ccIQoMdWhHLwItv2w5-49Ez5mUjithxm098rdiRAj87-xRRhKc19Cc53TL_qgwiZBxcLuO1NbimbtTKKoDa5dp7ycR8amLDtj5LumKKyJ3wcA9oa7/s640/blogger-image--1952973717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvdgyIDl_bMaizZYavJt4MmQAze2ccIQoMdWhHLwItv2w5-49Ez5mUjithxm098rdiRAj87-xRRhKc19Cc53TL_qgwiZBxcLuO1NbimbtTKKoDa5dp7ycR8amLDtj5LumKKyJ3wcA9oa7/s640/blogger-image--1952973717.jpg" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690504127566053470.post-90467723956158906292012-11-25T22:45:00.001+01:002012-11-25T22:49:22.466+01:00Ciao Milano<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
On one of my previous posts I already talked about my (not so recent) trip to Milano to celebrate my birthday. Being sincere, it is not one of my favorite cities (my boyfriend didn't really like it) but that doesn't mean we didn't enjoy it at its best. We loved getting lost around little streets, staring at the best fashion stores, drinking (that I have to admit) the best cappuccinos of our lifes, and learning about amazing concepts as ''il aperitivo''. Needless to talk about the majestic Duomo and the italian's restaurants charm.</div>

Luckily enough, Barcelona is one of the cities that has a lot of hidden gems that fulfills my wanderlust when I don't have money or time to go abroad. <br />
<br />
Two weekends ago I went for the first time to a bookstore-cafeteria called +Bernat. There, surrounded by books and sipping a delicious cappuccino I concentrated on uni readings while being in a beautiful place all at once. <br />
<br />
For those of you who are in the city, I recommend you +Bernat to go with friends just to chat, to study, get lost going through its shelves full of interesting books or simply to relax in a good surrounding.<br />

How did I spend it? In Milano, with a wonderful person, eating lots of pasta, drinking amazing cappuccinos and just relaxing à la italiana. There's more celebration to come, and I can't wait, but meanwhile I'll leave you with a little sneak-peak.<br />

But I have to admit it, whenever I enter the kitchen, it is more likely that I will be baking other than cooking anything close to healthy. This fact, however, has been changing, as after spending time in the US when coming back I felt the need to transition towards lighter food. Hence, I started checking recipes, one of my favourite ones being "Broiled Eggplant with Provolone and Tomato Vinaigrette".</span>

After an amazing month in New York and Florida, I came back to Barcelona on the 13th of August (thanks American Airlines for all of the delays I had to deal with...). So far the days here have been quiet and relaxing, spending time with the loved ones that I hadn't seen in a long time, and dealing with the heat of the City. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the best things in Barcelona in August are the festivities of the Gràcia neighborhood. My favourite part of it all? Visiting the streets that the neighbors have thematically decorated to win the competition that takes place every summer in Gràcia.</div>

This week has been busy, and the next one is probably going to be one of the most hectic and stressing of the year, with three finals that are closer than around the corner. Despite all of this stress, though, there are a few things that keep me smiling, like taking naps with my beautiful brother/dog or sending notes to my dad via him, receiving flowers from my significant other or treating myself to macaroons to instantly be in a better mood.</div>

ago I got the amazing chance of visiting Moscow. I participated in the Moscow
Model United Nations, and it was, overall, a great experience. I got to spend a
week with great companions and friends, learn a lot, and despite being shocked
by the corruption impregnating all levels of society, that yes, we also had to
deal with, I couldn’t be more pleased with the amount of fun we had.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

There are certainly thousands of blogs out there, and definitely mine is not different from others. My blog came at first as a way of sharing my personal style and a few of the things that I enjoy most in life, such as fashion, obviously, but also FOOD, art, trips, and my beautiful city, aka, Barcelona. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify; "><span lang="EN-US">But though fashion is for sure a passion of mine, I would certainly not dedicate my life to it, and sometimes I can’t avoid to ask me why all the big fuss, and think about it in terms of superficiality and such.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify; "><span lang="EN-US">I am a law student, passionate (and sometimes far beyond concerned and frustrated) by politics, international relationships and human rights, so I guess that these kind of thoughts come as no surprise to those who know me. That’s the reason why I have many times thought about closing this blog and just keep reading yours that I always find so inspiring.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify; "><span lang="EN-US">By now, though, that is not going to be what I’ll do, because with this blog, too, many good things have come along. ChocandCinnamon became at times a platform to evade myself from reality, and it’s funny how sometimes it was during exams that I updated the most. It also turned into a platform that I think had the greatest influence in my style, through seeing me in pictures, taking them and reading your comments, I think I accomplished a more polished look that makes me feel more comfortable, and yes, prettier, as I do believe that fashion and style can indeed enhance every women’s beauty and empower them.
