Aupair Wardrobe Barcelona

The outfits which I have planned for Barcelona are more suitable for the beach and have a chilled, laid back feel. I have had to be careful when choosing bikinis as they can't be too skimpy as I will be looking after kids all day!

Aupair Wardrobe Madrid

For the past week or so I have been sorting out my wardrobe, putting together outfits which are child friendly, practical, but still cool enough to wear in the 35 degree heat of Madrid! The next couple of posts will give future Aupairs ideas on what to pack if they are working abroad.

Vintage Shopping Madrid

If you love Vintage clothes and accessories, the only place to go in Madrid is Calle de Velarde in Malasaña. The nearest metro stop is Tribunal. 

I have been lucky enough to live right next door to a collection of the Best Vintage shops in Madrid. 

Here is a list of my favourite shops on this road and the little treasures which I've found in them over the past 6 months.

Mono Checa - dungarees, Grandad jumpers, leotards, sunglasses 

Magpie - vintage floral dresses, jumpsuits, rucksacks, lots of basket ball tops/jackets

Biba Vintage - checked shirts, denim jackets, glittery jumpers

Other vintage shops nearby include:

Retro City - Levi jeans/shorts/shirts/dungarees, colourful leggings

Templo de Susu  - black leather boyfriend style jacket, sunglasses

I am currently working on a post about Vintage Clothing in Madrid, but for now I'd like to share some items that I've bought in my favourite shops recently. 

I am loving the 90's Teen Spirit trend at the moment, and i've been wearing a lot of denim, oversized T-shirts, sports jackets, retro trainers, and plaid shirts.
