Barcelona

I went to the Spanish consulate in Chicago the other day to pick up my visa. I am now even more excited to study in Barcelona for a year! I will leave in exactly one month from yesterday, that is August 21. To my fellow countrymen and women: ¡extranaré por supuesto, pero sí me visitan, iremos a tapear! To honor my excitement, here are a few songs of Barcelona based/inspired music groups. Pero, sí quieres, tengo más "deep cuts."

1. Wa Yeah!- Antonia Font 2. Todo Tiende- Ojos de Brujo (gotta love the flamenco/hip hop fusion) 3. La Flaca- Jarabe de Palo 4. Barcelona- Giulia y los Tellarini (from Vicky Cristina Barcelona which is an overrated movie, so don't see it. But Penelope is good, so you might want to watch it anyway).

In other news, Penelope Cruz is the face of Mango, a Spanish based label. I really have nothing else to say about Mango or Penelope Cruz. I just like this photo and I want that coat.

I live in the Netherlands, where Mango is a bit comparable to H&M, bit more expensive and classy. The Cruz sisters have been working with Mango for a few years now, and they have launched some pretty nice collections!

Yeah, they've made awesome clothes for the brand. I LOVE Penelope...the Barcelona song is great, the movie is better.
