Barcelona Beach Swag

30 Jan

Barcelona: Where California meets old Europe.

BCN is incredibly hip with trendy skater styles mimicking those found on the West Coast while set to a backdrop of gothic buildings and Picasso art. The large amount of boardwalk strips along the coast allow the young folks to long board all over the city, a refreshing change from all the scooters here in Rome. With the beach on the edge of the city, the locals like to lounge on the sand, surf and long board during the day while wandering La Rambla (the main strip) at night to shop and bar hop.

Because Minneapolis is so very far away from anything close to a beach and, according to Twitter, is currently covered in ice, I wanted to do a post on the beach trends in Barcelona to warm you guys up a bit.

This girl was rocking the comfy-chic look with her bulky flower pattern jacket, skinny jeans, no shoes, a black scarf and a side sling bag. Not to mention a cute boyfriend is always a good accessory to have.

I was so intrigued by this woman’s lace headband, which in my opinion pulls the whole look together. I also enjoyed her knee-high stockings and boots and her studded shirt collar. The best part of her outfit, though, is her leopard print jacket-Rwar!

I saw this girl across the beach and just had to snap a pic of her bold outfit. Take note of her skater shoes, printed leggings, bright blue shirt, headband, hot pink sunglasses and a ponytail braid.

This girl is the definition of BCN style. You can’t see it in this photo, but she has her long board laying the sand. Her bold yellow-orange hat was definitely noticeable and matched her blue-green headphones perfectly. Never has anyone made listening to music look so stylish.
