Cold has arrived


Si el frío ya está aquí. Y con él llega el cambio de looks ¡por fin! Aunque confieso que me da un poco de pereza al principio, también me ilusiona estrenar las nuevas prendas de temporada.

¿A vosotras no os pasa lo mismo?
¡Feliz miércoles chicas!


Yes, cold has arrived. And with it, the winter clothes at least! Eventough at first I feel a bit lazy, I'm happy 'cause now I can finally begin to wear the new looks of the season.


Does it also happen to you?
Happy Wednesday ladies!

Just for laughs

Muchas de mis amigas me preguntan que como es posible que salga tan guapa en todas las fotos del blog. Yo les contesto que para salir perfecta en unas cuantas, antes hay que disparar muchas en las no siempre sales...digamos... tan favorecida... 

Por eso el post de hoy va dedicado a esas fotos que todas preferimos que nadie vea nunca... Por que ¿qué sería la vida sin un poco de sentido del humor? 

¡Chicas espero haberos arrancado una sonrisa en este inicio de semana!  

Many friends of mine ask me how is it possible that I always look beautiful in my blog pictures'. I answer them that before taking THE PERFECT picture, you have to take many where...let's say it... you don't look so flattering...

That's why today's post is dedicated to all those pictures I'd rather prefer to hide... But, what's life without a bit of humor??

Hope I've managed to get a smile out of you in this begining of the week ladies!! 

Super sexy pose!



Baaaad hair


One, two...three! 



Buff... this is exhausting...


Sexy feet again...


Telling nonsenses to my nephews...


Are you talking to me??


Without any doubt...my favorite!! LOL

Matchy, matchy


Lo cierto es que ante tanta tendencia de mezclar colores, estampados y tejidos de vez en cuando se agradece un poco de sencillez y armonía ... ¿no creéis chicas?

¡Feliz jueves!

PD: Os prometo que la falda es lila (como el bolso y los zapatos) pero se empeña en salir azul en las fotos...;-)


With all the trendy mix of patterns, colors and textures all over the fashion world from time to time one appreciates a touch of simplicity and harmony... don't you agree ladies?

Happy Thursday!

PS: I promise you the skirt is purple (just like the bag and pumps) but she persists in appearing blue in the pictures... ;-)

Pencil skirt + sweatshirt


Sin duda la falda lápiz con sudadera es la combinación trendy de la temporada y este es mi primer look llevándola. La falda de Zara fue amor a primera vista y os aseguro que la vais a ver mucho por el blog. 

En esta ocasión decidí llevarla con una sudadera vintage con lentejuelas bordadas (herencia de mi madre), su bolso Fendi y añadí un toque de color con unos zapatos "kitten heels" (¡tan de moda también esta temporada!) 

El toque final lo añaden los pendientes de Anna dello Russo para H&M.

¿Vosotras ya habéis probado esta combinación?
¿Os gusta o no va con vuestro estilo?

Without any doubt the pencil skirt combined with a sweatshirt is one of the trends of the season. This is my first “attempt”. The Zara skirt was love at first sight and you’ll see it a lot on the blog!

This time I decided to wear it with my mum’s embellished vintage sweatshirt (so unique!!) and her Fendi bag. I added a touch of color with a pair of royal blue kitten heels (another of the trends of the season!)

The final touch: Anna dello Russo for H&M baroque earrings.

Have you already wear this combo?
Do you like it or it is not your style?

The look I wore for the Liu Jo opening



Tal y como os prometí ayer , hoy os muestro en detalle el look que llevé para la inauguración de la boutique Liu Jo en Barcelona.

Escogí un pantalón capri de encaje de Mango (que ya me habéis visto aquí y aquí) pero esta vez decidí combinarlo con mi blusa de print leopardo de Zara (vista aquí por última vez) y un cardigan amarillo de Blanco.  El maxibolso también en azul y los zapatos en nude son los accesorios que escogí en esta ocasión.
¿Qué os parece chic@s?
¡Gracias por vuestros comentarios!  


As I promised you yesterday, today I show you in detail the look I wore for the Liu Jo opening boutique in Barcelona.
 
I chose a Mango cropped pant (that you already have seen here and here) but this time I decided to combine it with my Zara leopard print blouse (shown here for the last time) and a yellow cardigan from Blanco. The maxi bag in night blue and the nude heels were the accesories I picked for that occasion.

What do you think ladies? 
Thanks for your comments!!

Saturday rain




Este fin de semana se esperaban lluvias fuertes en Barcelona .Y así ha sido, pero por suerte el sábado por la mañana el tiempo nos dio una tregua y mi madre y yo nos fuimos de compras. Opté por un conjunto muy típico para día de lluvia: tejanos pitillo, gabardina y zapatos cerrados (en este caso de estilo Oxford). El cinturón ajustado permite crear un look con cierto aire “New Look” de Dior que me encanta.

Hoy siguen las lluvias por lo que toca estar tranquilos en casa y aprovechar para trabajar un poquito.
¿Qué os parece chic@s?
¿Qué planes tenéis para este domingo?
¡Un beso fuerte!

This weekend heavy rains were expected in Barcelona. And it has been so. Fortunately on Saturday morning the weather let up for a moment and mum and I went shopping. I opted for a typical look for a rainy day: skinny jeans, a trench and Oxford shoes. The belt cinching the waist gives a certain Dior “New Look" style that I adore.

Today more rains are expected so its time to stay at home working a little.   

What do you think ladies?
What are your plans for this Sunday?
xoxo

Aunque soy una adicta confesa al color, de vez en cuando también me gusta vestir con tonos más suaves porque aportan dulzura, cercanía, calidez... Así que el look de hoy es suave, suave...

¡¡Feliz jueves chic@s!!

Even though I'm addicted to color, from time to time I also enjoy wearing soft tones as they "communicate" sweetness, closeness, warmth... So today's look is soft, soft...
