Fashion: Like A Pro

Wearing it Like a Pro, that's how you strike a look when travelling. This look came up from a random selection of clothing items in my luggage. I fell in love with this statement shirt from H&M but since it's not weather appropriate, I came up with wearing a plaid shirt from Forever 21 and paired it with this cargo shorts from Pull & Bear. I'm wearing Sperry navy blue boat shoes and throw in some oversized sunnies and white Sporty cap to complete my look. What do you think of this look?

Travel: Football Club Barcelona

I'm seriously not a football fan though I know for sure there's one player same as my last name, "Fabregas" and the famous Premiere League season quite popular here in Singapore, and that's all I know! Football Club Barcelona, one of the most commercialized tourist spot in Spain, just signify Spanish true love in sports. For a single adult ticket price of 23 Euros, I was hesitant at first to purchase it, but it was all worth it, seeing for the first time the football stadium was just a surreal experience. The fee includes an FCB brochure, football fanatic memorabilia and you can access the FCB museum where football history was illustrated in details.  

It was a big check on my bucket list after I entered the football stadium so big that I just normally see on TV. Inside the FCB Museum, I saw my dream shoes, the Adidas Stan Smith sneakers signed by Stan Smith himself. You will enjoy for sure the FCB Store, where you can buy football team uniform, personalized jersey and souvenirs. FCB Barcelona is located in central area of Barcelona so taking a cab from your hotel is the best way to get there.

Food: Bar Mirinda Spain

Wish you were beer! That's the quote I always remember while we were on this cozy bar on our first day in Barcelona Spain. Since our hotel was strategically located along La Rambla area, it was the perfect spot for some of the best paella, tapas, beers & sangrias, thanks to Sheraton Hotel for recommending us this place, just few steps away from the hotel. Of course, I had to refresh myself with beers and tapas from to early flight from Paris that day. 

Since my beloved country was colonized by Spain ccording to history (LOL!) I felt so at home in Barcelona. This bar was the first food place we've tried and we definitely gave it a thumbs up. The Al Fresco feel of this humble bar situated along the main street plus their wide varities of tapas and cocktails were just awesome. We ordered mixed tapas, beers and sandwiches for late lunch and we left the bar with a smiling tummy!
