The recent tradition in Barcelona is repeating itself this year: The Shopping Night Barcelona will be held on Wednesday the 30th of November.
As last year, in Psg. de Gracia from 20.00h until 1:00 you can visit the stores and be a part of the special night.
Among the collaborators of the event you will find luxury stores such as Tiffany & Co., Loewe, Santa Eulalia, Tru Trussardi, Swarovski, Burberry, Escada and Desigual as well as hotels such as Majestic (official head quarters of the Shopping Night Barcelona this year) Mandarin Oriental, Alma, Condes de Barcelona, OMM, Alexandra and Gallery. In all these places special events, soirées and parties have been organized.
During the evening all the Christmas lights all over Barcelona will also be turned on for the first time this year, making this evening sparkle even more.
We are two friends, both addicted to shopping and we love to do so while not spending an obscene amount of money. One lives in Barcelona and the other one in Denmark. With this blog we want to share our shopping results with each other as well as trends we like. If you want ideas of how to shop economically in different places from around Europe, feel free to follow our blog as we are happy to share our experiences with you.

New Accessorize store in Aarhus
Aarhus has gotten another Accessorize store in the main walking street. The store opened a couple of weeks ago and it is a really nice store. It is bigger than the one in Bruuns Galleri and much more organised.
Accessorize sells a big range of really cute and sweet items. The stores sells small wallets, stickers, underwear, jewellery, key chains, gloves - both for adults, children - and the child in you!
The prices are not the cheapest, however you can find some things among the produckts that are reasonable priced - and during sales you can really get some good bargains (Especially during final sales with up to 70%)

New Primark opening in L'Illa Diagonal
Yesterday a new Primark opened in Barcelona in the shopping centre L'Illa Diagonal.
The shopping center is easy to get to; you can either take the metro on the green line to the station Maria Cristina or take one of the following busses: 6, 7, 30, 33, 34, 63, 66, 67, 78.
The store is located on the -1 (and -2) floor. This Primark is a much bigger than the one in Diagonal Mar with two huge floors. I was there on the opening day and the shop was full with people. Despite the crowd, it was very nice to that they offered me a new shopping basket (without holes!) and for once I could almost find all the sizes that I needed.
On the upper floor you can find clothes for women as well as shoes and accessories.
On the lower floor there is clothes for children and men as well as Home products.
I got mainly Christmas presents as well as some basics for me. As I was there for the opening they gave me this I heart Primark bag for free.

Cupcake candle-holder
Recently I got myself the cutest little candle-holder and I just have to share it!
It is a hand made cupcake candle-holder!! It really resembles a real cupcake with topping and lovely colours - I just had to own it! And it was very cheap as well!
I got it from Decorateshop in Silkeborg - and it is made by one of the employees daughters - whom "bakes" these lovely cakes in her spare time!
Love the idea and the story...!

Second Primark in Barcelona (Cornellá)
Apart from the Primark in Diagonal Mar Shopping Centre, there is actually a second Primark in Barcelona. Well, almost - it is located just outside of Barcelona in Cornellá. Last year the new shopping centre Splau was built (just next to the new football stadium for the football team Espanyol) and in there you can find the Primark store.
The easiest way to get there is to take the Ferrocarril de la Generalitat (local train) from Pl. Espanya to the station Cornellá Riera (takes around 15 minutes). From the station you have to walk around 10 minutes to get to the centre. You can also go there with the metro, taking the blue line until the station Cornellá Centre.
This Primark is much bigger than the one in Diagonal Mar with 2.417 square meter divided on two floors. This means that it is much easier to see and find products and of course that there is a much bigger range of products to chose between. To my relief there was also almost no queueing for the dressing rooms or the till.
Apart from various Christmas present I found a couple of things to take home:
Dark blue skinny jeans for 10,99€.
Beige coloured dress on sale for 7€ (was 17€).
