TO DO LIST: SPANISH SHOPPING

In terms of fashion, my own wardrobe is at a hold - our holiday to Spain is coming up, and I decided to stack up some financial resources to contribute to the Spanish economy (always happy to help beat that crisis, amigos). The pre-fun for Spanish shopping began this week with the Septembes Issues of Vogue UK and Elle NL - and uhoh, we're definitely up for an exciting AW2013 season. As time is limited and I do want to enjoy the cities (Barcelona and Valencia) and the boyfriend rather than the shops, I put together a little to do list - where to shop and what to get. If any of you has further recommendations as to where I should shop in Spain - happy to hear, please! 

1. Topshop

I'm a huge fan of Topshop - but not of their delivery system, if I may believe all the complaints on their Facebook page. Hence I'm looking forward to Topshop Barcelona, which is exactly around the corner of our hotel (!!). What I shall get when I'm there? Below you can find my latest favourites!

2. COS 

Also found in the Netherlands, but as I'm on a well planned shopping spree and in proper need of a decent winter coat, it's on my list: their AW2013 collection is brilliant, with coats that stand out in their simplicity and beautiful fabrics. Furthermore I have my eyes set on this beautiful nude leather purse, as my current one won't hold it that much longer. 

3. & Other Stories

Oh yes, if there's one shop I can't wait for .. This exclusive sister of H&M only comes with 7 stores worldwide, so I can't wait to check it out! Especially their shoes and bags (and ok, their ready to wear collection as well) caught my attention, so I'm aiming to get some new additions to my collection. My favourite right now: 

4. Zara

After the campaign was launched earlier this week, I appointed Zara as my no.1 supplier for AW2013. And who didn't? There are a few things I don't love (and probably quite a few more I won't wear, as definitely not all items fit/ look like they do on the models). I will especially be after this coat:

And not to forget, this perfect blouse (haven't decided whether it will be black or white just yet):
