Ramblings

Sometimes I cannot help but wonder what the point of me having a blog is. 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.

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.

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.

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. We are all beautiful, after all, non?

Through the blog I’ve also had the chance to meet inspiring people, like Kim, who I’ve recommended you so many times (seriously, check her blog, and I enthusiastically recommend you to check her old one, La Couturier, too), and whose interests, through facebook conversations I discovered go far beyond fashion, as mine.

Well, I guess that’s enough rambling for the day, so I’ll just leave with bits and bats of what I have been doing lately.

Enjoying the one day-snow-per-year with my friends and my beautiful dog.

Went to Belgium to visit a friend and enjoyed chocolate at its best.

Bruges.

Have a wonderful day

Off duty

I'm here in front of my computer trying to decide what to write, truth is though, that unfortunately, after hours studyng Civil Law my mind no longer seems to be working. Luckily I can take little breaks to go with my beloved ones to have capuccinos, pancakes, and alike and get freshened up for yes, a little bit more of studying.

Wearing a Zara kids sweater, Mango shorts, and Primark jacket.

Hope you are all great!

Laughter

Sometimes that's all you need to feel instantly better :)

Hope you are all enjoying the holidays

M.I.A

So yes, I've been missing in action for the last few months, call it lack of inspiration, a great amount of work, and as you'll see in the following pictures, an excess of food, oh, life!

{Tried vegan food for the very first time}

Japanese food, a favourite

{I go crazy for noodles, especially with bittersweet sauce}

{Coulant au chocolat, c'est plaisir!}

{Cookies&Cream Ice cream, personal favourite}

El Mercat de la Boqueria

Friends

My new little brother. Looks like someone else has been using my computer, don't blame me!

See you soon!

Ricardo Miras en Custo Barcelona

If there is something I like as much as fashion that is for sure photography. So when two great artist of each of these fields are united in one project, something marvelous can emerge as a result.

Ricardo Miras is a great Spanish photographer whose relationship with the city of NY comes from a long time ago. Now he signs a series of photographs that showcase The City and that will be a part of a T-Shirt collection by Custo.

Maybe I'm a little bit biased as my love for the city of New York is no secret for those who know me, and I'm no expert on any of these fields, but I find it to be an amazing collaboration.

Check it out!

The Floppy Hat

I've been enjoying the last few days at the beach, it's incredible how the days go by...

Mango romper and belt,BSK hat.

Summer date

Truth is that during these hot days of August one doesn't really feel like going back to the city, with all the fuss going on, the traffic, the sun, tourists and all that jazz, but all of that goes to nothing with the idea of a good dinner and amazing cocktails in a rooftop in front of the sea...

Dress and clutch bt Zara, Blanco shoes.
