The Best of Buenos Aires... Rapsodia!

Before I even walked through the door I felt like I had died and gone to heaven. The Rapsodia shop window alone was enough to make me stop in my tracks, gawp and practically run in! 

The theme here was clearly embelleshment, and lots of it! It adorned all the the little black velvet jackets and dresses. The boho maxis also covered in beads just oozed glamour. I think it's safe to say that Rapsodia was the favourite shop I walked into the entire 7 months I was away and I really hope I will be able to purchase something from their online shop someday soon.

Here are some of my favourite looks from the latest lookbook. This was very hard to cut down to just a few!










 Kind of reminscent of Kate Moss' latest collection for Topshop, no?

The Best of Buenos Aires... Complot!



After months and months of South American countryside, jungle and mountains, I was happy to finally be back in a city! Buenos Aires! This was the city I'd been looking forward to the most. Everyone I'd met that had been there said it was their favourite place so far and that the two weeks I had booked there still wouldn't be enough time to do everything the city has to offer!

But more importantly, I was looking forward to seeing what the clothes shops were like and lets just say I was not disappointed. Complot was one of the first shops I found. Argentina's answer to Topshop, but for a cheaper price. Here are my favourite pieces available from the online shop!

Anyone else found any hidden gems abroad?
