I haven't a clue what the weather will be like. I'm thinking Nice floaty dresses with a denim jacket during the day? Do you think that would be appropriate? Maybe a flat pair of boots as I don't know if it will be warm enough for sandals. I’m going to Barcelona next week. I haven’t a clue what the weather will be like.

I am thinking about visiting Barcelona in a few months time but, after reading your description of the clothing, I am not sure I can get ready for this trip from home. You see, I have absolutely no access to any winter coats or winter clothing in general. Any advise? Hey, I am from the Caribbean and there it is sunny all year round!

I don't drink coffee, but I had an extra cuppa Earl Grey with milk and sugar for you! I must apologize for not sharing Barcelona street fashion photos with you. In my haste I forgot to bring the better camera. But have a squizz at this blog site. It's by a French street wear photographer who lives in Paris and it’s pretty accurate. It brings back memories of when we use to live in France. http://www.styleandthecity.com/street-style-paris-fashion-week/ Prêt-a-porter refers to designer collections that are "ready to wear". Most Haute Couture collections are un-wearable but they are important because they start the creative juices flowing for prêt-a-porter apparel. I hope that makes sense. T, there are countless more stylish options to wear on your feet than New Balance sneakers. I do not sacrifice comfort and am very kind to my feet. Your trainers are for workout sessions alone. Invest in a pair of non-athletic fashion sneakers and ballet flats instead. Converse sneakers really work for me and they have become a timeless retro look for women and men of all ages. You need to choose your Converse wisely though. Keep them simple and streamlined if you are over the age of 35. Have a look on www.zappos.com for styling. Glad that you are stylishly fitting into Vienna street fashion Jennifer. This look is fairly continental - London and Amsterdam are just the same. The ensemble works for Euro lifestyle. Thanks for validating the availability of lower heel heights on great looking shoes in Europe Marlene. There is such a need for it when it comes to societies that commute on foot. Enjoy your new boots! Catalan style is truly a force to be reckoned with Josie and Isabel and I’m happy to hear that you feel the same way.

And everyone was wearing the best looking coats. The coats were mostly black but sparked up with bright scarves. Cross-body bags were common and very practical as everyone was traveling on the tube. I did some shoe shopping in London...I was surprised at how comfortable the European shoes were! Every pair I tried on was comfortable...wider through the toe area than what I experience here! And there was a great selection of different heel heights. It was very hard for me to NOT buy every pair I tried on! I did buy a pair of knee boots..how could I resist???

This is my first time in Europe too... EVERYONE is wearing their jeans tucked into boots (flat and with heals), fitted wool coats with gorgeous scarves. The puffy knee-length jackets with fur trimmed hoods are really popular too. I absolutely love it. We just sat at Starbucks for over an hour watching people walk by outside. Even the children are dressed more stylishly than I expected. I'm feeling pretty good with my fitted wool coat and knee length boots. Unfortunately I don't have any tapered ankle jeans so I can't wear my boots over my jeans, but that's ok. While the boots over jeans is overwhelmingly the most popular outfit here too, I'm still seeing a lot of dresses with tights and boots too. Which is great because I brought some to wear with my boots. :) LOVE IT!!!!!! I’m in Vienna right now (for the week with hubby) and am seeing the same thing here.
