White and neon

Mi primer look primaveral con toques de neon para aportar color y unos tejanos rotos para rebajar un poco el aire "lady".

¡Los tonos pastel o nude combinados con toque de neon son uno de los must de la temporada!

¿Qué os parece chic@s?

¡Feliz jueves!

PD: ¿Os gustaría que publicase vuestro look en el blog? ¡Más info aquí!

A spring look with touches of neon to add color and distressed jeans to lower a bit that "ladylike" allure.

Soft or nude tones paired with touches of neon are one of the hits of the season!!

What do you think guys?

Happy Thursday!

The pencil skirt

Chicas siento no haber posteado looks durante varios días pero es que he estado enferma y me ha costado recuperarme... (¡¡A mí la primavera no me sienta muy bien!!).

Hoy os muestro un look con la prenda que yo considero más femenina y favorecedora: la falda lápiz. (Por cierto la sudadera ya me la vísteis aquí en un look mucho más deportivo)

¿Qué os parece chic@s?

¡Feliz jueves y a disfrutar de las vacaciones de Semana Santa!

Ladies I'm sorry for the lack of outfit posts those days but I've been very ill... (spring is not the best season for me!!)

Today I show you a look with what I consider the most flattering and feminine piece ever: the pencil skirt. (BTW you already saw the sweatshirt here in a more sporty look)

What do you think ladies?

Happy Thursday and enjoy your Easter holidays!!

Skirt: Paul Smith (vintage)

New fashion crush: Bohemique S/S 13

Normalmente me gusta a hablar/llevar las marcas más conocidas del mundo de la moda, pero existen TAAAANTAAAAS otras que también vale la pena descubrir… Cómo la que os presento hoy por ejemplo…

Descubrí esta marca gracias a Kizzy del precioso blog The Dainty Dolls House (¡gracias guapísima!) y fue amor a primera vista.

Bohemique es una firma rusa adoraba por lo que me gusta denominar “la armad rusa” (encabezada por Elena Perminova, Ulyana Sergeenko, Miroslava Duma y Natalia Vodianova). Los diseños de este misterioso dúo (no he sido capaz de encontrar información sobre ellos en la red) presentan una clara inspiración en el glamour del viejo Hollywood y desprenden un cierto estilo “fetichista” por sus cinturas ajustadas, encajes, caderas marcadas y mucho color negro.

Me ENCANTA la perfección de los cortes de sus vestidos y la sofisticación de sus detalles como por ejemplo los bordados con cristal, los velos transparentes y los sombreros altos de ala ancha. Femeninos y con una clase exquisita, las creaciones de Bohemique hacen a muchas mujeres soñar con poseer uno de sus diseños (¡¡yo también quiero!!)

¿Cual es vuestro diseño favorito chic@s?

Podéis encontrar a Bohemique en Facebook

I usually tend to talk/like/wear the most known brands, but there are SOOOO many others worth to discover, like the one I'm introducing you today.

I discovered this fashion label thanks to Kizzy from the beautiful blog The Dainty Dolls House (thank you darling!) and I admit that I instantly fell head over heels with it.

Bohemique is a russian label praised by what I like to call the "Russian army" (with Elena Perminova, Ulyana Sergeenko, Miroslava Duma and Natalia Vodianova at the helm). The designs of this mysterious duo (I haven’t been able to find more information about them on the net) present a clear inspiration in the old Hollywood glamour era and exude a certain “fetish” style with its cinched waists, lace, enhanced hips and lots of black.

I LOVE the perfect shapes of the dresses and the sophisticated details such as the crystal embroideries, the transparent veils and tall hats with wide brim. Feminine and extremely classy Bohemique creations make many women dream about wearing their designs (and so do I from now!!)

Which one is your favourite design, ladies?

A certain 70's flair

Estos pantalones forman parte de un traje de Zara que me compré hace un millón de años (¡lo pagué en pesetas!) y al que tengo mucho cariño. Son muy anchos y setenteros pero, puesto que ha sido una tendencia que va y viene, en mi opinión no se ven desfasados.

Opté por llevarlo con mi chaleco favorito (aquí, aquí, aquí y aquí), un bolso bandolera y una boina para un look 70's.

¿Qué os parece chicas?

¿Os gusta este estilo?

These pants are the bottom part of a Zara suit that I bought a million years ago (I paid in "pesetas" before the euro did exist!!). They're quite wide and very 70's style but as that trend is quite "à la mode" right now I'm wearing them again.

For the look I chose my favourite vest (here, here, here and here), a cross body bag and a beret to achieve that 70's flair...

What do you think ladies?

Do you like that style?

Liu Jo cocktail

El pasado viernes tuve la oportunidad de asistir al cocktail que Liu Jo organizó con motivo de la presentación de la nueva colección P/V 2013. Colores pastel y tonos intensos (azul klein, verde esmeralda, amarillo intenso) componen una colección muy femenina, romántica e ideal para mujeres que saben apreciar la calidad y el diseño.

En el evento tuve la suerte de conocer a las “Elis” del exquisito blog Lost in Vogue (quienes tuvieron el detalle de enviarme la invitación). Me encanta su trabajo y sigo su blog desde hace tiempo. Si os gusta la calidad y el trabajo bien hecho, ¡¡no dejéis de visitarlo!!

Para la ocasión escogí un look "color block con una base de azul eléctrico y detalles en blanco.

¿Qué os parece?

¡Feliz martes!

Fashion tip: Vestir de un sólo color estiliza mucho nuestra figura... ¡Y como podéis comprobar no tiene porque ser sólo una base en negro!

******

Last Friday I had the chance to attend the cocktail organised by Liu Jo in order to present the S/S 2013 collection. Pastel colours and intense tones (royal blue, emerald green, intense yellow) are the colours present in a very feminine, romantic and high quality collection ideal for women who really appreciate good quality and design.

During the event I had the pleasure to met the “Elis” (Elis S. and Eli G.) from the exquisite blog Lost in Vogue. I love their work and started to follow it long ago. If you like the quality and the good work you can't miss it!!

For the occasion I chose a colour block look with a royal blue base and white accessories.

What do you think?

Happy Tuesday ladies!

Fashion tip: Dressing in one colour makes our figure look longer and thinner… And it not only happens with black!!

At sunset

Cualquier rincón de Londres es ideal para hacer fotos. Suena a tópico, pero es así... Esta vez escogimos los pies de la abadía de Westminster donde se casaron el príncipe Guillermo y Catalina Middleton. Si no la conocéis por dentro, ¡bien merece una visita!

Y si, me congelé de frío sin abrigo ni bufanda...¡pero me encanta el resultado! Jajajajaja

¡Feliz fin de semana chic@s!

¡Y gracias por leerme! ;-)

Any London corner is perfect to take pictures. I know it sounds topic, but it's true... This time we chose the gardens surrounding Westminster Abbey where prince William married Catherine Middleton. If you've never been inside, a visit is mandatory!!

And yes, I frozen myself without my coat and scarf... but love the final result! Hahahahaha

Happy weekend ladies!

And thanks for reading!! ;-)

Neal's Yard

Neal's Yard es una pequeña calle cerca de Covent Garden que desde luego merece la pena visitar si vais a Londres. Allí podréis encontrar varios restaurantes y una tienda de productos de belleza naturales: Neal's Yard Remedies.

La zona se conoce con el nombre de Seven Dials y está llena de tiendas y pequeños restaurantes que hacen las delicias de cualquiera. Nosotras descubrimos un pequeño restaurante estilo francés llamado Mon Plaisir que resultó ser el restaurante francés más antiguo de todo Londres. ¡¡Os parecerá estar en París!! (Mejor reservar en "The front" o "Upstairs" porque son las zonas con más encanto).

¿La conocíais chic@s?

¡Un beso enorme!

Neal's Yard is a small street near Covent Garden that's worth a visit if you come to London. There are several restaurants and a natural beauty products shop: Neal's Yard Remedies.

The area is known with the name of Seven Dials and it's full of shops and little restaurants. We discovered a little restaurant called Mon Plaisir that it happened to be the oldest French restaurant in London. You'll feel like in Paris!! (I suggest you to book a table in "The Front" or "Upstairs" which are the most beautiful rooms).

Did you know it ladies?

A huge kiss!

You can leave your hat on

Esta frase (de la archiconocida canción de la pelicula "Nueve Semanas y Media") me viene como anillo al dedo en estos momentos porque desde luego ¡¡si hay algo que no me quito de encima en Londres son sombreros y gorras!!

¿Vosotras también los usáis en invierno??

¡Feliz inicio de semana chicas!

This sentence (from the super known song of "Nine and a half weeks" movie) is perfect for me those days 'cause hats and berets have became my favourite accessories here in London. I can't go out without them!!!

Do you also use them in winter??

Happy beginning of the week ladies!!
