Do you ever wonder what it was like to always wear a hat with every outfit and follow a strict code of correct conduct regarding this item? If you’re missing a bygone era, can never seem to find occasions to bust out your fancy hat creations or are just curious, this Sunday 8th of May, at 12:00 noon, the Passejada amb Barret is taking place. Stroll with a Hat, now in it’s seventh edition is a great way to celebrate your passion for hats. Gather together with like-minded people and have a chat while strolling down Rambla de Catalunya.

Paco Peralta: Old-School Elegance and Precision

03 May 2011 By Vera Ciria 8 In Fashion

After a brief, two-week hiatus involving Easter and lots of chocolate, what better way to return than to spend some time with a very talented person, Paco Peralta. Easy-going yet animated, with firm convictions and bucket-loads of anecdotes, Sir Peralta is an entertaining conversationalist. I spent the morning in his small workshop, which is located in his apartment, and the time just flew by as the rain fell softly outside the windows.

Easter Break

21 April 2011 By Vera Ciria 0 In We All Love Complaining...

Easter… Not my favourite holiday, although any excuse for chocolate eggs is good. Ever since finding out that the Easter bunny didn’t exist when I was just five years old, this and other holidays have never been the same. Here in Spain we have the added benefit of the Klu Klux Klan religious gangs running around the streets…
