City Slickers: Barcelona

1. Susana Monaco at The Outnet £90 this cut-out tee dress is a wardrobe staple

3. Urban Outfitters £28 contrast your jewellery with this leopard watch

5. Mango £69.99
jewel encrusted sandals add a touch of luxury to simple look

This summer I am jetting off to Barcelona, so today's City Slicker's guide is rather relevant. I've only ever been to Barcelona once before, but it is a beautiful and lively city.

Yes, we may have had our bag stolen, but it was still a lovely holiday and i'm very much looking forward to returning! As far as restaurants go, i'm not hugely clued up, but we are hoping to visit Koy Shunka- a Japanese restaurant- and a number of tapas bars to gorge on Paella and croquettas. I will be sure to post some salivating snaps after my wee break!

Unfortunately, we did not manage to book into Tickets tapas bar but if you are keen to feast on some world-class tapas i'd suggest calling up 6 months in advance. If you can be bothered. 

As far as styling goes, Barcelona is all about simple and comfortable style. This relaxed jersey dress needs little more than a few sit-ups and a deep tan (see my tanning pick here) but add a bit of sophisticated glamour with cool sandals and a gorgeous handbag.

City Slickers: Paris

1. IRO €108 a new take on the Breton stripe tee
2. Sandro €345 a statement jacket is an essential
3. The Kooples £94.50 (in sale) white jeans are a city style staple
4. Alexander Wang Rocco £730 keep it sexy with a studded bag
5. Zara £79.99
Swarovski studded sandals add a luxe edge

Venturing on a city break this summer? Let SW Fashion help with my new "City Slickers" guide on what to wear in some of the world's most beautiful cities.

First up we have the city of luuuurve: Paris. Whether you're going on a self-indulgent trip to visit your true love, Chanel, or you are on a sickly sweet romantic trip, Paris is all about style.

This is no place for your extravagant MeadhamKirchoff tees or your zingy neon denim, this is a city that is all about minimal chic. Think Iro, Sandro, The Kooples and Maje.

As far as style icons go, it's all about the beautiful Clemence Poesy. She does elegance with a idiosyncratic touch that makes her the ultimate Parisian girl crush.

I personally have never been to Paris (save a Disneyland trip as a wee one) so cannot offer you any hints on where to eat, drink and shop, but I don't think you can go wrong with plenty of champagne and Laduree macaroons.

My tip? Get the Parisian look ASAP as the sales at The Kooples, Maje, Sandro and Zadig & Voltaire are absolutely amazing. Emmanuelle Alt, eat yer heart out.
