SANT JUAN FESTIVAL 2017 by Admin

The shortest night of the year and the official beginning of summer is here! Sant Joan festival or “La Nit de Sant Joan”,  the Spanish midsummer, is celebrated on the 23rd of June and continues to the 24th of June, which is “Saint John’s Day” and a public holiday in Catalonia and Spain.

Sant Juan is one of Barcelonas biggest parties , you can either organize your own party with friends and family or join a party in one of Barcelonas many clubs. A lot of people, around 70 000, also spends Sant Juan on one of Barcelona’s beaches,  a nice way to see the bonfires and fireworks !

Food and drinks is a very important part of Sant Juan, if you want to be traditional you should go for  Coca & Cava . Coca is a dessert brioche cake which you can enjoy with Cava, sparkling vine from Spain. Personally, I know I’m going for this perfect combo!

Fire

“The one who lights Sant Joan will not get burnt all year.”

This celebration is an old tradition and has a lot of elements , where fire is the most important one, which explains the fireworks and bonfires. According to traditions will “The Flame of the Canigó” or Canigó’s flame light bonfires all over Catalonia. This year it’s 50 years since ” La Flama del Canigó” first arrived in the city, which makes this year’s Sant Juan Night extra special.

Toilet

“Bathe on Sant Joan and you’ll be healthy all year round”

Water is also an element of Sant Joan, according to legend and tradition a swim will cure ails, aches and pains. If you celebrate this festival on the beach, and it feels like a swim on mid-night, you will not be the only one.

Herbs

“Herbs of Sant Joan keep their strength all year”

Legend says that on the night of San Juan herbs are one hundred times stronger than usual. Thyme, Rosemary and Verbena are collected and eaten during this event.

SUMMER TRENDS 2017 by Admin

Street style Barcelona

The summer is really hitting Barcelona and it’s time to look over our summer wardrobe . Which is the summer trends you need to know, we hear yellow and a wow-factor is something to strive for this summer.

 

1.  “THE BRA TOP”

CmThis small piece of clothing is something we’ve seen a lot of on this spring runways. And what could be more perfect for the hot weather of Barcelona than a mini top to go with a pair of high waist, thin and loose pants or a high waist skirt? And why not choose a patterned fabric, for example flowers, which is something you will see a lot of this summer. I’m definitely going to wear an outfit like this!

 

2. ” THE COLD SHOULDER” 

Capture ModelsThe cold shoulder is back, last summer everybody was all about the shoulder-tops and dresses. This summer everybody should be all about the one shoulder tops and dresses . Another trend this summer is  flounce clothing , choose a flounce one shoulder and you’re good to go!

3. ” SEE THROUGH”

Capture ModelsThis is another summer trend that we’re so happy that’s here on the hottest summer days . A see through dress is a perfect cover up after a day at the beach or why not outfit during a night out on town. Choose a piece of clothing with embroidered flowers and you have two big summer trends in one.

4. “NOT TOO HIGH HEELS”

Capture modelsThis summer the heels are getting lower and we see a lot of “oldies” coming back, like platforms, kitten heels and socks in sandals. Personally I’m quite happy about this! Even though I like the really high heals it’s safe to say these ones are much more practical and comfortable! AND their really good looking too!

5. “ALL ABOUT YELLOW”

Capture ModelsLastly, this summer yellow is making a comeback . We have seen this bright color on many fashion shows this spring, and honestly, what a better color to match your tanned skin and the hot weather.

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER FILLED WITH FASHION !
