A Pica Pica Day

What a beautiful day! Finally, por fin!!
I had a nice sleep in... no gym...no errands... I even forwent my shopping expedition and headed straight for the beach. My tan is nothing spectacular just yet...but now it's on its way at least. I had a fabulous lunch at a friend's piso in the gotico. Then met a cute Brit for tapas at La Bodegueta on the Rambla de Catalunya. We had some very tasty jamon and the spiciest pimiento del padron that I've ever tasted in my life!! Right now I'm just resting up before heading off to Opium Mar. I'm gonna get my drink and dance on. I choose champagne as my drink of the night!
Have a good one and maybe I'll see you there!

Summer...Maybe?

I don't want to jinx it, but the weather seems to finally be changing. YAY, I hope so, cause I really need some beach time and soon.
So last night that little birdie was right and there definitely was definitely sushi at the Shiny party at Shoko. A lot of other food as well. Needless to say, it was a great night.
It was really nice waking up to sunshine. I went to the gym for a little run, then had the best paella I've ever had in my life, at a chiringuito on Bogatell beach. mmm mmm.
Tonight I'm gonna take it easy. Maybe watch a few episodes of Sex and the City. Tomorrow's a big day and night. Going to do a bit of shopping, then off to Opium.
Talk to you soon my friends!

Te-killya and Tacos

Hello my little minions!
I am finding it harder and harder to write on a Monday. I just can´t help myself, but to take a three day weekend. HEHE. Yesterday was lovely...very Amerikeen if I do say so myself. I went to La Trajinera Restaurant for Margarita Monday! What is Margarita Monday you may ask...well it´s a time honored tradition for most college students from California and it really can´t be beat. I mean what´s better than a Margarita...cool, refreshing...chock full of Tekillya. I absolutely love Margarita Mondays and luckily some friends of mine have started it up here in BCN...so I think it´ll be a staple in my schedule from now on. The food at La Trajinera was excellent...I mean I have found it almost impossible to find decent Mexican food in this city, but these guys do a mean taco, if I do say so myself!
So tonight I´m heading to Elite Barcelona´s Shiny Tuesday @Shoko! A little bird told me that they might surprise us with some sushi and if you´ve read any of the rest of my blog, you know that I can´t, under any circumstance, turn down sushi. If you feel like joining me just tell the man at the door you´re on VIParina´s list from 12-2:30 and don´t forget the Elite wristband for discounted drinks.
Should be a lot of fun! Fun we all need to have to get over this awful, awful weather.
Talk to you lates...

Let's here it for the Weekend!

Hello my darlings,
I had a lovely day that started with a facial at the Pink Peony, then went onto lunch at DosTrece with a great friend. Tonight should be great...as you all probably have heard, Bob Sinclar is playing at Pacha...so I'm heading over there in just a bit.
This weekend also promises to be fun... I'll be at Elephant tomorrow night and I'm really hoping it doesn't rain cause I can't take it anymore ahhhh.
So my loves, we'll speak later, no?

Rain Rain Go Away...

Seriously...when is this rain going to finally stop? It is ruining my summer...well not really...I'm still having a fabulous time! So the Rita Mabel concert last night was really great, they have such a cool sound. So today has been relatively mellow... My Yoga intructor came by this morning. Then I met a friend for a sandwich at Conesa that was scrumptious as can be and now I'm just hanging out reading all of my favorite blogs before meeting my friends at that fish place behind the old market in the Borne... I can never remember the name...damn...well, you should go if you get the chance. Then after that we're all going to head to Opium Mar, which will definitely be fabulous tonight. I'll be the girl drinking too much champagne in the VIP.
If you want to come you're more than welcome! Just say you're on VIParina's list at the door and they should treat you pretty well.

Hasta Manana,

Girl From Ipanema

The Elite Barcelona party at Shoko was a blast as usual! They had the human statues out and about, which adds a bit of ambiance... and a little hip hop. I drank a bit too much cava, but I'm doing ok...now.
So I had a Brazilian themed day...Started with a Brazilian bikini wax (too much info?) then onto delicious Brazilian empanadas and treats at LolaMora in the Gotico. Now I'm going to go have a few caiparinas before heading off to El Gran Foc to see my friends band "Rita Mabel." Then probably a few more Caiparinas(sp) before heading to bed relatively early cause tomorrow is Addicted at Opium Mar and I want to get a little bronzeada beforehand at the beach.
If you wanna come to Opium Tomorrow just tell them you're on VIParina's list and you'll get in for free!

Have a fabulous night!

Arabian Nights

What a CRAZY weekend! I know I missed my entry yesterday, but I swear I have a great excuse. So...as I told you on Friday...It was my friend Christian's birthday and we were planning a night's stay at a lovely villa on the Costa Brava. So we all met up and he dropped the bomb that he was flying us all to Marrakesh where we stayed in the most beautiful Rhihad and went to some of the most fabulous clubs and just all around had an unbelievable time. The party really never stopped!
It's not going to either...this week's going to be a great one. Here's the lineup:
Tonight, Tuesday, is Shoko, which as I've told you before is the place to be on a Tuesday this summer.
Tomorrow I think I'm hitting up a RitaMabel concert at el Gran Foc.
Thursday I'll definitely be at Opium Mar ( If you want to come just say you're on VIParina's list)
then...well...I can't plan that far ahead...who knows what the weekend will bring!
Have a great night!
