Found this pictures today around the laptop, and couldn't believe I didn't share them before. Maybe they've been around since before last summer holidays, but I don't really know why I didn't post them before. I think we took this pictures about a year ago in the beach of Oropesa. I can't see the moment of coming back there for summer holidays to chill and feel the sun and the sand on my skin! It's close but, not closer enough as it's only a month away for exams and college stuff to finish. Duh.

Being honest, I'm not able to remember where those Nine West brocade slippers I'm wearing on the pictures ended. I remember they hurt my feet like hell (my fault. I bought them the wrong size) so maybe they're deep, deep inside my closet on a box with huge, red "CAUTION" letters on it. I don't usually lose pieces of clothing. I lose sight of them sometimes, but they always return to me when I don't need them or I'm not searching like a crazy thing. I can say I'm a real mess with things, specially class things as I'm always working around with tons of plans, papers, markers and drawing stuff. But I do organize really well my closet so I can see in every moment what's there. So, I'll let you know what happened to this pair of shoes when I find them.

The outfit it's not a big deal as it's a total black outfit filled with this golden trousers found seasons ago at Zara, and which have become a real basic I wear a lot. I even bought them in silver because they're comfortable and really cool.

Haven't you ever got two or three times the same clothing piece, or the same pair of shoes because you feel really good wearing it?

Happy holidays everyone!! I can't believe I'm finally having some days to rest, play dress up and go outside for taking some pictures and show you a bunch of new styles for this winter. After a super weird Autumn with warm days and the sun shinning all around, seems like regular Winter found Valencia and we've been enjoying some days of really freezing mornings and cosy-apparel-required evenings.

As I spent the last half a month full working on one of my class projects (which was exhausting until the last minute, but I could handle to finish it and do what I wanted to) it feels really nice to finally be wearing more dressy outfits not only for College, and be able to have some spare time to draw, design, think and go downtown. Speaking of which, remember this giveaway featuring one of my clutch designs?

Looks like I've been really attached lately to wear pink! I don't know, but this color has those nice vibes, that really strong hue and girly feel that I want to wear it everyday, specially when I've been really busy and I just feel like I have to stop... But I can't!

It's not necessary being a supermodel to wear a lot of pieces you might think won't actually fit you. That's my personal mantra every time I face the closet, and I also think it's one of the most important messages I try to claim on this blog: no matter your shape, size, hair color... Always stand with the basics, play with fashion and be true to yourself.

And that's what I always try to show on my outfits! I may not have catwalk model measurements, and maybe I'm not as tall as I'd want to, but that's not a reason for not wearing pieces like palazzo pants or sheer textures. They key is to feel comfortable and confident with those pieces.

I personally loved this palazzo pants, although I may not use them on a daily basis. They're wide, comfortable, made from a really thin fabric and I also love how they fit me, how those pants make me feel taller and thinner. It's a nice feeling, and I think everybody should have those positive vibes when wearing anything!

This time I also played a bit with transparencies on this sheer floral top from Zara. I've been using it from time to time since I bought it some years ago, and I always end surprised on the infinite ways and outfits I can pair with this piece. Versatility it's the key!

500% productivity mode ON. Since I came back to school I've found myself tangled on lots of subjects, both personal, related with those early homework at College or with fashion. Seriously, it's like my veins have been filled with lots of caffeine and I just can't stop doing things and being super productive finishing all this issues at the very beginning. I do not like things to pile because the stress and "I'm on a super hurry" mood are the worst things on the world.

Talking about the busy-mind mood, you might know I've been working on some DIY projects lately and specially working with that Toile de Jouy fabric. With the fabric remaining of the skirt I made a simple zipper clutch with some paillettes matching it (actually, there's two of them. Surprise coming for you guys...). Big enough to carry my phone, purse and sunglasses but comfortable and easy to carry with me.

As the pattern is super romantic and has this baby blue color, I wanted to wear it around the beach on the last days at town with this tail dress which ombre colors go from pink to a light blue. I'm also showing you that it's really easy to look really chic without killer heels. Your feet will thank you for that, seriously!

Hoping you all had an awesome "back to school" month, or if you're about to start your holidays, hope you're having a terrific time!

Exams are over. Yay, I'm excited to have finally ended all my tests, exams, and a large part of all the important things I had to do for class. You don't really know how hard and horrible turns January when having so many things to do. I sometimes feel that I would be happier having 30 or 40 hour days, because I could finish my work on time. My nerves are going to kill me.

In addition to class things, I'm doing some cleaning in my room and thinking about buying a new wardrobe and redecorate the whole space, because right now is really messy and wasted. So, in the middle of this chaos we always try to go out and shoot as much as possible. Like this day we went out of home and it started raining like a crazy thing! I had to go up again and look for the rain boots really quickly. Luckily it stopped when taking the pictures.

And bow blouses... Oh! I've been found myself totally obsessed with them lately, since I found this old green one on the bottom of a box. I find them really effortless and easy to wear with anything, it's how you combine it on what depends the more casual or dressy touch to the outfit. I think the super feminine skirt with the green blouse and coat ended really balanced with the Burberry rain boots, isn't it? 

Remember: the giveaway entries are already posted. Check them out and make sure everything is OK! Tomorrow the winner will be announced!

I have always found something magic in black dresses. I usually love them in all shapes and materials, no matter if it's lace or chiffon, long or short, full skirt or straight... Coco Chanel thought it already with the ''little black dress'': it is an essential piece on any woman's wardrobe, affordable, long-lasting and stylish.

This is not the typical ''LBD''. Specially because it's longer and has some dot details on the neck. I bought it on a great local second hand store called Madame Mim, which I discovered not so long ago and where you can find a wide variety of clothing from the 70's, 80's and 90's and lots of curious vintage objects. Here's a promotional video of it!

This kind of long black dresses made of heavy fabric have some issues: you must put some colors to the outfit, or it may be at risk of making you look like a widow... Let's admit it: total black is great, but sometimes is not correct at all. That's why I added the golden belt, the sparkly bag and the white jacket. I think all the pieces together make the outfit mature, but not gloomy.

Christmas dinner of the fencing club. As it is a quite important event on the year, because there's all the people of the club there, we make lots of pictures for some local webpages, etc. I always like to wear something more special than in a regular party night.

Wow, feels like I've been studying Architecture all my entire life and not for only two weeks. Since I've entered University, I've started being very, very focused on what I'm doing, so you know: no time to blog, no time to take pictures for the blog (but I've taken TONS for class), and even no time for great outfits since it feels like I always leave home late in the mornings.

 

As you know I'm starting my classes this week, specifically tomorrow with some welcome workshops for first year novices. I already know my schedules and classes, but I don't really know how hard Architecture is going to be for me. I want to be 100% focused on my studies and fencing trainings, so I don't know how much time less I'll have to take pictures and blog. So, I think I'll do the same as this last winter: try to post when I'm able to.

By the moment, you can see my skin has turned darker because of the sun and the beach days. I think that dress' colors and pattern highlighted pretty well my tanned skin, and I really loved the shape, different from the things I've been wearing lately: long, but with a subtle tail effect. Perfect for a club sandwich dinner out!

As you could see on the post, I was carrying a huge red bag from Carolina Herrera. I have always been a big fan of this brand, specially when it comes to bags and purses.

It seems that my love for them comes from my mum, who some years ago bought her first CH bag and kept collecting some of them during years, which I've been ''stealing'' from her closet. It seems that finally she wanted me to have my own. This is called ''Andy Seven Bag'' and I fell in love with it at first sight. It's size is perfect for me, because I'm not very tall but always use bags that are at least double my size, because I always carry tons of things inside them (camera or even the DSRL camera, mobile phone, sunnies, my XXL UK flag purse, lipstick and sometimes khôl eyepencil or mascara, pieces of paper and pen...) and this bag isn't huge, but lets me put inside most of the things I usually carry with me.
