I must admit I shot a lot of cute girls for The Styleograph, but Sara's aura is unique. I met her in Madrid and we spent a whole day together, eating typical Spanish food and drinking Mojito and yes, in reality she is at least as likeable as it seems like in the photos. Therefore, I thought it would be cool to do a style profile and get some ideas for exploring the capital of Spain.
Read and follow her blog Collage Vintage here.
