This summer I am jetting off to Barcelona, so today's City Slicker's guide is rather relevant. I've only ever been to Barcelona once before, but it is a beautiful and lively city.

Yes, we may have had our bag stolen, but it was still a lovely holiday and i'm very much looking forward to returning! As far as restaurants go, i'm not hugely clued up, but we are hoping to visit Koy Shunka- a Japanese restaurant- and a number of tapas bars to gorge on Paella and croquettas. I will be sure to post some salivating snaps after my wee break!

Unfortunately, we did not manage to book into Tickets tapas bar but if you are keen to feast on some world-class tapas i'd suggest calling up 6 months in advance. If you can be bothered. 

As far as styling goes, Barcelona is all about simple and comfortable style. This relaxed jersey dress needs little more than a few sit-ups and a deep tan (see my tanning pick here) but add a bit of sophisticated glamour with cool sandals and a gorgeous handbag.
