Goodies: Three wise men

accesories 11:30 AM

Spanish traditions. As some of you might know, Santa Claus is not really who brings us gifts on Christmas' Eve. Instead of him, we have the ''Reyes Magos'' (''the three wise men'' in English? I'm not really sure) which leave kids toys and gifts for adults on the morning of 6th January. There are parades and lots of typical things we do that night. It's really fun when you're young, or if you have children at home because everybody is shouting really excited and running up and down the house, like ''look at this, look at my new toy''.

Now that I'm older it's still a thing we do at home, and we keep giving us things. Although it is to be a bit happier during the last day of vacation before we return to our classes. The truth is that except the book that you'll see below (you know: Architecture things), I did not ask for anything special (it's funny because as a child, I used to make endless lists of things I wanted) but received some really cute things which are going to be on my closet for a long, long time.

Architecture book: ''Neufert'' which is like the Bible for Architects. Marc Jacobs transparent white sunnies.

How to: 10 fashion pieces worth the investment

accesories 9:30 AM

Inexpensive fashion on the go. One of my goals when I created this blog was to spread the word that being stylish is not expensive, and it is also really simple. Many people have asked me many times how I get to have a timeless, simple but very effective look whenever I go anywhere, no matter if it's an event, a night out with friends or even dressing for College.

So this post if for all of you folks who want to dress well but without spending all your savings on it. It's not necessary to have a 1,000$ pair of shoes, but just know what are the basic clothing pieces on the right colors. Those are the key to a successful outfit, and I personally don't mind on spending a little bit more than usual on them (basically because a good material and quality makes the difference on the time they will last on your wardrobe) and as a piece I'm sure you'll use a lot... Well, it simply worths it. So, let's get started!

1. Leather bag. Browns, grey and black are the most versatile colors. Find one that fits you with its shape and size. There are a lot of models, and you'll easily find any great choice from almost any brand, so you won't have to spend about a fortune on a Cèline or Luis Vuitton one. Leather is extremely durable, and depending on the type usually easy to clean and maintain.

2. Leather jacket. As well as on handbags, having a basic leather jacket is clue. Biker, field jacket, classic... There're lots of models you'll want to try on. They are more expensive than a ''regular'' knitted jacket or one made of wool, but if you take care of it you'll keep it rest of your life, for sure!
