Bêtises et Volup’thé, pastries paradise
Posted on February 9, 2012 by letizia
I finally have my computer back and with it the photos I took on December when I went to my hometown called Besançon in France.
Now I can show you this place I wanted to talk to you about, it’s called “Bêtises et Volup’thé” it’s a vegetarian restaurant/teahouse located just next to my little sister’s appartement in downtown Besançon.
She often goes there with her boyfriend and I guess they already tried all the pastries and teas, I’m pretty sure they know the menu by heart!
The place is girly and cosy, the decoration itself is soo pretty, they have clouds above the counter with gorgeous tea cups and flower print teapots.
Eglantine the friendly manager and creator of this lovely concept left me took some pictures.
Hope you’ll like it !
Even the show window deserves a photo!
not easy choosing the tea, they’re all delicous !
I took the corn poppy and macaron tea
white chocolate for my sister’s boyfriend
my sister took the “try this and marry me” : syrup fruits with lilac white chocolate
I took the big cow !!
chestnut ice cream with chantilly and kiwis
a real dove at the entrance (don’t remember the name !)
even the mirror in the bathroom is cute and girly!

You may have already seen some photos about this village on Marie’s blog. Its name is Marmellar, it’s a ghost village located 30 mn south from Barcelona in the mountains. You can’t even find it on google map and there are only a very few photos of it on the web. It has been completely abandoned in the 60′s and a lot of strange stories make this place even more scary.
Now very few people knows about its existence, even though Spain has many deserted villages all over the country (but this is not a History class here ahah)
When Marie told me about it I was quite excited and puzzled by the idea of posing in a chic dress in a lost village !
So we went there with Amaia and my boyfriend (he was the driver, photographer, assistant, stuntman..what else?) on a sunday afternoon and we had so much fun taking photos and posing in the most unusual places like this church..
I’m quite proud of the result. What do you think?
I’m wearing : dress Love clothing, shoes Naf Naf, bracelet from Italy and clutch H&M

Dolce Sitges Hotel
Posted on February 6, 2012 by letizia
I spent one week end in the 4 stars hotel Dolce Sitges.
Sitges is a small town located in the south of Barcelona, a 30 mn ride from the city. I’ve already talked about it in my blog, it’s one of my favorite spots, especially in summer I love to go there for a walk (the beach is fun but too small;)
I found a very good offer in Atrapalo I highly recommand this website if you don’t know it, there are always good offers and discounts for restaurants, hotels, guided tours of the city, shows, even massages…!
The price of our room included a huge breakfast I just couldn’t finish, access to the swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, hammam, and fitness room.
Since we went there in january it was quite empty and quiet. We had the whole swimming pool for ourselves and it was so cool doing nothing but enjoy the beauty of the landscape and relax.
One weekend is just too short to enjoy this kind of place !

I’m wearing : dress from Love, shoes Naf Naf, my best friend mister leather jacket Massimo Dutti, bow bag H&M and a necklace from Forever 21.
Yesterday I thought that I would love to go shopping at F21 another time soon, I went there only once when they opened their first store in Barcelona last year, I love their rings and necklaces, so next saturday will be dedicated to shopping at La Maquinista shopping center and Forever21 store!
Photos taken at the Hotel Dolce Sitges a few days ago (besides the empty swimming pools;)
Have a great weekend ! xoxo

the Brandery part 2 : creativity
Posted on February 1, 2012 by letizia
Some more photos from The Brandery International Fashion Trade show in Barcelona.
This time I decided to show you the most extravagant and/or creative outfits I saw during the event.
It took me a while to remember all the names of designers and Schools of Design, luckily I still have the map with me it helped me a lot! I mean I took like a hundred photos without even knowing what I was shooting;)
I finally managed to organize everything, here are the photos!
Be cool and Be conscious
Joaquim Mercader Competition for Promising talents, BDN Moda (Badalona Moda) awards young Designers.
The Brandery gave them a stand to present their creations.
French bulldogs at Felipao!
“uniques pop sculptures” says its website (here if you want to know more about Felipao Poppi Art)
some unique creations from IED Barcelona International School of Design
loved this outfit, gorgeous red dress and a leather jacket that’s all I like !
various creations from International Schools of Design and Fashion from Barcelona : Escola Guerrero, ESDI, IED, ILLA, Escola Llotja…
not easy to tell from the photo but the green part of this bathing suit is blinking!
Fell in love with these pretty rings (huge ones!) and necklaces from the Spanish brand los caprichos de Elisabet.
Wall painting by Bruna Sedó, all the figures are entirely made with make up!
