West Hartford style: U.S. & Barcelona alike


The Barcelonans pride ourselves of being part of the latest trends:


In Hartford, Connecticut you can spot somebody sporting a pair of their hippie headbands with the latest boutique fashions, such as a 70’s inspired patterned mini dress paired with vegan sandals or knee high boot flats.

Stash your cash and free your hands with a mini clutch wristlet, while sauntering around the room sipping on bacardi or fine wines from Spain.

The fashion trend has been seen on celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, Ashley Simpson and Ashley Olsen.

Bacardi is Barcelonan

bacardi

Don Facundo Bacardí Massó (Catalan: Facund Bacardí i Massó) (1814 – May 9, 1886) was a SpanishCuban rum businessman. He was the founder and eponym of Bacardi rum distillery in 1862.

Bacardí was born in Sitges (province of Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain), son of a family of bricklayers. He settled in Cuba in 1830 and business was only in the talks. Don Facundo than attempted to "tame" rum. After struggles of experiments with several techniques he came upon filtering the rum through charcoal, which removed impurities as well as aging the rum in oak barrels, which had the effect of "mellowing" the drink.
