New shop opening in Barcelona; Shana
Saturday when I was walking around in town, I noticed that everybody was walking around with bags from a shop called Shana.
When I finally found the shop, in Portal d'angel (Barcelona's main shopping street), where Stradivarious used to be, I had to enter.
I was pleasant suprised; Shana was a huge shop with modern clothes all for Primark prices (veeery cheap).
Some of the clothes were a bit "teenagy" and some looked a bit too cheap, nevertheless, I did manage to find a few things:
A long thin cardigan - price: 6€ (45 kr.)
A vest, also made out of thin material (perfect for summer) - price: 5€ (38 kr.)
A black and white scarf - price: 3€

Shopping in Prague
This week I went to Prague, it was with my work so there was not a lot of time for shopping and sightseeing. However I managed to shop just a little – I went to a shopping mall and visited a local “Pimkie” where I bought two tops and a pair of earrings.
Pimkie is a frenck chain of shops that you can find in a lot of countries around Europe. It sells young and cheap clothing, I wouldn’t say that they are as quick to follow trends as e.g. H&M or Zara but you can defiantly find some bargains there if you take a good look.
I haven’t taken a picture of one of the tops as it is just a basic cheap black top costing about 30 kr. (4 Euros).
This is the other top. Sweet and funny and the girl on the top is wearing an actual skirt going “out” from the top. It was app. 100 kr. (13 Euros)
I also bought this pair of earrings – I love the pink colour! They where about 40 kr. (5,5 Euros)

Silly cheap
This week H&M debuted their summer collection for the soon to come bikini season... and the result is really nice - and cheap.
There are lots of different tops and buttons you can mix as you may like - and each part is only 39 kr. (5,2 Euros)...
So If you havent gotten this years bikini - go to your local store or to the internetshop and make a bargain!

Britney does Gaga!
Before La GaGalupe recorded her worldwide hit song Telephone, she had originally written the song for Britney Spears. For some reason, Britney passed on the song and GaGa went on to record it herself with Beyonce.
Well, the Britney demo version of the song has leaked and and has been posted on

One-piece suits
All though all the shops were closed yesterday in Spain because of the 1st of May holiday, there is one place you can count on, which is Maremagnum - a shopping centre by the harbour which is always open.
Anyways I has a look in Mango, and I have to say I really liked their new collection. I especially like that they have gotten a new low cost line, Think up (you can recognize it by their pink price labels). The clothes are very nice and very affordable (especially if you buy it in Spain. Mango in Spain is roughly 30% cheaper as in the rest of Europe, since the brand is Spanish).
So I tried on this one-piece suit, something I normally don't wear but I really thought this one was nice - like the pin-up look you see a lot of currently.
Price 29€
The line in the shop was really long, so I have not bought it yet. Also need to think about if the thighs are up for such short legs.. But it sure was cute!
They also had other one-piece suits, such as the following:
