Sunday celebration


Ayer tuvimos otra celebración familiar (¡es lo que pasa cuando las familias crecen!) y resultó un final ideal para un fin de semana tranquilo y agradable. 

¿Vosotras que habéis hecho estos días?
¡Feliz inicio de semana!

PD: Cómo veis mi pelo fue víctima de la terrible humedad de Barceloma. ¿Algún producto que me podáis recomendar y que funcione? 

Yesterday we had another familiar celebration (that's what it happens when families grow up!!) and it happened to be a perfect ending for a quite and super nice weekend. 

What have you done those days ladies?
Happy beggining of the week!!

PS: As you can see my messy hair was the victim of  the "terrible Barcelona humidity"... Do you know a good product you can recommend me?? 



 Trench: Vintage
Top: Forever21

Network and the City event at Montblanc boutique



Hace un par de semanas tuve la ocasión de acudir al evento que Network and The City organizó en la boutique Montblanc de Barcelona. Network and the City es un networking exclusivo para mujeres gracias al que puedes hacer negocios, ampliar tu círculo de amistades, hacer contactos profesionales, estar al día de las últimas novedades en el mundo de la belleza, la moda, la literatura…   

La idea se les ocurrió hace ya unos años a las hermanas Granado (Mª Àngels y Silvia) de la agencia Doblemano Comunicación. Con su profesionalidad y trabajo duro han conseguido que el evento sea un referente no sólo en la ciudad de Barcelona sino también en Madrid.

En esta ocasión tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer la nueva colección de joyas Montblanc (de la que voy a preparar un post) así como la nueva colección O/I 12-13 de Etxart & Panno.

Si queréis más información o asistir al evento no dudéis en visitar su web o su perfil Facebook para contactar con ellas


¿Asistís a este tipo de eventos en vuestra ciudad?
¡Feliz domingo chicas!


A few weeks ago I had the chance to assist to the Network and The City event that was held in the Montblanc boutique in Barcelona. Network and the City is an exclusive networking for women thanks to which one can make business, professional contacts, make new friends or be updated about the latest news of the fashion, beauty and editorial world…

The networking was the idea of two sisters, Mª Àngels and Silvia Granado from Doblemano Comunicación. They began a few years ago and thanks to their passion, hard work and professionalism they’ve become a reference not only in Barcelona but also in Madrid.

This time not only we had the chance to know the new Montblanc collection first hand (I’m preparing a post about it) but also we assist to the A/W 12-13 Etxart and Panno fashion show collection.

If you would like to have more information about this event, please visit their web or Facebook profile.


Do you assist to this kind of events in your city?
Happy Sunday ladies!

A bad day...(turned to a good one!)


El día empezó fatal: llovía a cántaros, el metro hacía huelga, la ciudad era un caos y para colmo, me caí por las escaleras (con el resultado de una rodilla muy inflamada y amoratada)

Pero por la tarde estuve con mis sobrinos para celebrar "La Castañada" y todos mis males desaparecieron...;-)

¿Vosotras hicisteis algo especial chicas?
¡Feliz día de Todos los Santos!   

The day begun really bad: it was raining cats and dogs, the metro was on strike, tha city was a chaos and, in addition, I fell down the stairs (as a result I've got my left knee seriously wounded)

But in the afternooon I visited my nephews to celebrate Halloween and all my awful moments vanished at once...;-)

What did you for Halloween ladies?
Happy All Saints day!!
