Flashing traffic with talent and a beautiful smile

I met such lovely people over the last 18 months. First it was Jill, the talented photographer behind streetstylelondon on a cold London morning in early 2012. We arranged to chat over coffee at Le Comptoir, a gorgeous restaurant/caffe in South Kensington. We talked so much, she introduced me to some of her talented friends and she even got me to go to London Fashion Week. Soon I realised I loved Jill more than I love her work, which is a lot. I keep going back to her website, admiring her work, hoping to take pictures like her one day, and we do chat now and then over e-mail.

Then during my early days  in Barcelona I met beautiful Priscillia, Parisian, but with some Spanish blood running through her veins. She used to be an accessories designer, a really good one too. She is now embarking on a completely different venture, to do with delicious French and Spanish patisserie. I was with her last Saturday and on our way back from lunch I took these pictures before she realised and stuck her tongue out at me.

I also loved Priscillia pretty soon after I met her, the more I get to know her, the more I know I’m going to truly miss her when she is no longer part of my life, as I doubt Barcelona can hold on to such multifaceted talent for long. She will probably fly off to her next adventure soon.

I may not be the best at taking pictures, or editing them, but I do know talent and true beauty when I see it. Jill and Priscillia have both qualities. One can only watch in awe…and take sneaky pictures 😉

I recently met German jewellery designer Mimi Scholer. She is based in Barcelona, in my neighbourhood, and if you want to read more about what she does you can do so in this month’s Miniguide, in an article by yours truly.
