Busy Barcelona week #2 review...

Jill Stuart FW 2012. campaign 

With all eyes on next weeks fashion festivities in NYC and one foot out of the door I am reviewing busy last week in Barcelona, this was my first work week after vacation so I was working 9-7ish every day trying to catch up on last weeks emails. Instead of going to lunch I was taking  short swim-lunch breaks every day noonish to take advantage of what is left of Summer sunny weather at our little pool.

 Since my boyfriend was away in training camp for a week so I did a lot of house cleaning, ironing, laundry washing all while watching Spanish TV channels and trying to pick up as much as I can of the language (I really hope I will be able to speak it properly one day since most of Spanish people here do not speak any English).

After house choirs I decided to get back to my workout regime and I started bodyrocking again (I tried it before based on my best friends Anita reco and gave up quickly) this time I am sticking to it. The trainers name is Zuzana and only thing you really need is to be motivated enough and to have a little pink timer for the exercises, I just ordered mine. Can't wait to see the first results, after one week I already can feel muscle pain and my body getting tighter.

Bellow you can find a list of my last weeks posts mostly related to us moving out of the hotel and moving in our new Barcelona apartment {lines of life} with first photos of our apartment. I also wrote a post about one of this FW 2012. season most noticeable trends - sweaters {lines of passion for fashion}.I am particularly opinionated about picking a comfy sweater, so check out my selection!

I am particularly looking forward to: IFB conference in NYC, NYFW kicking of with fashion nights out and shows from 9th - 16th of September, then also Madrid fashion nights out sales on 6th and 7th of September....and then, my birthday few weeks after on September 19th!

Have a great weekend lovelies!

Stress free weekend.

  

Weekend is here, hot and steamy like we are still at the summertime peek.

For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to catch up with some work assignments, covering for colleagues on vacation, and trying to heel my dog Papi’s ear infection and trying to arrange couple of free-vacation days by my boyfriends schedule I have felt quit stressed. 

   This caused my immune system to go down and I got incredible insomnia which further raised my stress levels – so I took 2 days off last week to sleep and reenergize, to do nothing at all as I thought planning to go on a trip and party with my friends would just exhaust me even more.

       Today I really took it easy. I slept in late, took my dog Papi for a long walk, had a late breakfast, refreshed my lately neglected flowers, went to meet my friend Anita for a coffee and healing power chat and finally started reading the last book my boyfriend got me “I love New York” by Lindsey Kelk.

I still feel like summer passed by me quit quickly and I still feel like I desperately need that “me time”, with no phone, no laptop or internet or “I just need this one info from you” kind of calls from the office – just some breathing space.

What do you do to relax and unwind from weekday stress lovelies?
