Vichy pattern really reminds me of lovely childhood dresses, picnic and countryside. With polka dots and tartan fabrics, I consider these the TOP 3 of my favorite and most classy patterns in clothing that have ever existed.

Specifically, I like this fabric because besides being very light, there is a lot of variations of colors and shapes. You can wear it on a knot or cropped blouse, on a bow like an accesorie, on your shoes... Sometimes I like to take some ribbon with this cute pattern and start creating and devising crazy DIY projects that will rarely see the light. I like the old touch that the earrings and dress shape add to this outfit, but  at the same time balanced with the sunnies and sandals, much more modern.

Okay, and finally you might be wondering... Why that orange/californian look to the pictures? Well, I'm currently super-obsessed with Michael Kors shootings, with that sunny, warm colored blur on the pictures, and I did my best to edit the pictures and make them similar... I think there's still lots of practise for me to do that...

Today we're attending to Hotel Astoria Palace in Valencia to YOUNIQUE.ES ONLINE SHOP launching event, from 8PM to 11:30PM. Come say hi and enjoy with us!

Since I'm a fifties and full skirt lover, I decided to go for the ''pro level'' getting a petticoat, so my full circle skirts don't look overwhelmed anymore. Let's face it: it's a bit weird, but I think this style makes an outfit very different to anyone else's. It was fun to see how some people on the street looked at me as I was a green little alien walking around with a petticoat, but I really liked how it were mostly surprise and curious faces, not in the bad way.

I think to get this old inspired but not outdated is essential to mix garments: classy and simple dress, a little bit more overdone makeup with soft colors, big and actual handbag in a bright color, some loose curls on my hair... It's about getting a shocking and fun outfit, but always without claiming for too much attention.

I always consider any vintage finding a little wonder, and all of them have a very special place on my closet. This is what also happened with this vintage bag, from Gelolas online store. My mum is also passionate about vintage clothing as I am, and we've been looking around for a little 50's bag like that for a while. As we didn't find it on vintage shops in Valencia, we started our search on the Internet, and finally found it! We also discovered a new great vintage store, with lots of interesting pieces. The deal was very nice, and we received the package only 48 hours after.

I decided to create a very vintage inspired outfit, with those spool heels in black, and which are very comfy and antique looking. The dress comes also from sales on C&A, and I love its skirt shape (it's like a tulip!) and the dots on the upper part. As I wanted to color a little bit the outfit and make it less serious, plus it was too windy outside, I paired this pink hat with an scarf of the same color (they matched pretty well. Incredible). I think the clue on this kind of outfits are the accesories and soft makeup.

And finally, my ''LeCorbu'' model drawing is finished. Here's the result, let's see if my teachers like it!

So, I already came back to classes and give homework, and drawing like a crazy thing. I'm having some exams very, very soon, so I won't be able to post as much as I did on Christmas holidays. However, I took hundreds of pictures during those days, and I still have many outfits and exciting ideas to show you (I'm thinking about doing a sort of ''round up'' of bloggers showing their style, and featuring them here. What do you think?). I'll be posting and writing about them when my exam weeks finish.

OK. A brief description of the outfit and so on. As you know, I ''discovered'' Karen Millen's designs not long ago just because some items caught my attention because they were on sale. Some of those items were  the sparkling bag and this B&W dress, which seemed to be too small/classy/I don't really know. I really liked it at first sight, and I was a very lucky girl trying it out and checking that it really suited (seems made for girls with a small waist, but the skirt's shape doesn't attract attention to hips. Perfect!).

I also think the details are delicate and very polished: the straps and round neck with that bow/twisted piece, the belt, the lining and seams... Definitely: that kind of bargain you're always proud to have found.

So, after thinking for a while about it, I really decided to order the ''Dawn and Dew Drop dress'' I fell in love with. As it was a bit more expensive than the other one (and maybe, one of the most expensive pieces you could ever find on my dress wardrobe) I wasn't sure at all, but its sophisticated, classic vintage shape and the awesome colors on the pattern finally captivated me.

If you read my last Modcloth review you already know that the package arrived very quickly and that I had no problems with the delivery. This time I had. I don't know why, the dress seemed to be lost after two months of ordering it. As I chose the deliver service whose packages arrived on a 7-21 days (as in my other order), after a month of placing the order it I thought it was really, really weird. I contacted the ''Customer Care'' service, and they told me that they didn't know where my package was, but gave me a gift card with the total value I spent on this order. What should I do then? My size was absolutely sold out, and I thought I would never see that dress on me. I felt really heart-broken, and I ordered another dress with a similar value which caught my eye before seeing this one.

But, surprise! Almost three months after, the dress arrived successfully. The dress I ordered after with the store credit, arrived yesterday too and also fits quite well (and it's also awesome) so, I'm not thinking about returning any of them.

Ok, now let's talk about the dress: the price, absolutely deserves it. Again, it's made of a heavy strong fabric which allows it to stay in place, and as the skirt seems to be having metres and metres of cloth, it's a full skirt which really seems to fly when you walk. Just amazing. It also has lining on the inside, and a tulle on the bottom of the skirt (a little bit uncomfortable because it's itchy) which makes it more ''vintage looking''. I ordered an M size, as it said it runs true to size. And it did on me. I don't really have too much bust, so I thought because of the crossed shape it would be a no-go for me. But it really fits well, and makes a lovely effect.

It's not too short or too long. A bit over the knee. And the colorful floral pattern has a lovely golden shine which is really stunning.

So, although of the bad experience with the delivering, I'm really happy it has finally arrived, and that I can finally have this fantastic piece to wear. I would really recommend this dress after all.

Vintage. Since I discovered it about a year ago on my trip to Boston, I've been obsessed with this kind of pieces you can find on second hand and retro stores. My most loved items? Dresses and jackets. If I'm lucky I can easily find really antique dresses, maybe from 50's to 60's. As you can imagine, not all of them are wearable on your everyday, but sometimes you can revamp them with a pair of pumps or sandals, and a more actual necklace.

Flowers. I think they are my favourite pattern when it comes to dresses or light blouses. Some friends say that my sense for fashion is like ''stucked'' in a forest full or fairies, flowers and magical things. Well, you already know me, and how much I love floral dresses. Don't ask me why, it just came up like that.

You also know that I'm a ''vintage lover''. I really like how 50's dresses (with volume on the skirt) fit me, how light and ethereal they are. So, when I discovered ModCloth some years ago, I knew I must had a dress by them. Now that I'm shopping more on the Internet than in physical stores, I decided it was time to buy one of their dresses. So, here we go with my first Modclotch review:
