WHAT I’M WEARING: OASIS CAMEL SLEEVELESS 60S COAT,
OASIS LACE FRINGED SHIFT DRESS, OASIS GOLD CLASP BAG

Golden sunsets, in winter they are beautiful, drenching even the narrowest, most tree covered streets here in Barcelona. That is one thing I can surely say for Spain, the sun is stubborn, refusing to fade even as we near November. Bare legs are still feasible, there is still ice in the coffees I drink in the afternoons and while summer long slipped away, winter here is not as difficult to face. My father’s myths of snow many years ago in Barcelona however have me curious, as an extremely hilly city, it would make for incredible sledding. But that won’t happen, the temperatures here are quite like a 10 minute abandoned cup of tea. Not hot but not cold enough to go make another one. Do you know what I mean? An almost too cold cup of tea but one I’d still drink. They say the weather is a boring topic of conversation but I quite like coming up with strange analogies to describe what’s going on in the skies. The sun just herself (yes, the sun, I insist must be female) there are a million metaphors for her. I guess I would start with something regal, I know, quite cliche, but then again, the sun is indisputably, queen. Or the clouds, an airy crowd of cruisers failing to keep most of the stormy promises they make. I like to call the rain a memory dripping mist – and when it does fall, it seems so does my nostalgia. I tend to try to keep it locked away but there it will go, tripping right out into a feeling I always feel when it pours. However, for now, I will desert my weather analogies and leave you instead with something probably far more enticing; this Oasis camel sleeveless coat which I’ve voluntarily (and very permanently) adhered to my shoulders in hopes regardless of what’s underneath, I’ll look chic. I very rarely push you ladies to buy anything I wear, but I’m willing to act more like a typical fashion blogger and less like me if it means you will at least consider this coat. It’s a serious contender for both a 10 minute cold cup of tea or even a cup of tea you might have absentmindedly placed in the freezer while looking for the sugar. But there I go with the weather again…
