If you've been following my blog over the last couple of months, you may recall that I was chosen to participate in a MNG by MANGO Mission along with 9 other fashion bloggers. We were challenged to create 5 different looks inspired by international cities, culminating in a trip to Barcelona, Spain, where we toured the MANGO headquarters and took part in a fun photoshoot - and today I am so excited to be able to reveal the final result with all of you!
This was truly a once in a lifetime experience I'll never forget. The best part was just getting the chance to meet and hang out with some of the most talented, inspiring women you'll ever meet. Each blogger on the trip has her own distinct voice and personality and I was honored to be in their presence (sounds uber cheesy but it's so true!).
Touring the MANGO headquarters and getting a behind-the-scenes look was also beyond cool. It was way back in 2000 when I studied abroad in Spain that I was first introduced to the MANGO brand and shopping there as a college student played a pretty significant role in developing my budding love of fashion. Talk about a full circle moment.
After the long weekend in Barcelona with my blogger buddies, my husband met up with me and we spent another two weeks traveling through the south of Spain for our honeymoon (not sponsored by anyone, that was totally on our own dime, lol). It was EVERYTHING. I'll try to post some more pics from my trip soon (you can see a couple on my twitter feed, too).
JCPenney also put together a short video documenting our trip, which I'll be sharing later, but in the meantime, check out a few snapshots from our trip. Thank you MANGO, jcpenney and Style Coalition for letting me be a part of this incredible journey. xoBB
UPDATE: Here's the video! It's cute, upbeat and really captures the "essence" of our trip. Enjoy! xo
In case you're wondering, the photoshoot was a little intimidating but I just tried to have fun with it. Hair, makeup, dressing up? No complaints here!
