I'm not really used to mix different prints nor not pairing something with black or white accessories. Seriously, I have a real problem matching different colors and creating a outfit which doesn't look like I'm a clown. I'm not really much into colorblock trend, I must say.

So, when I don't feel in the mood of taking black or white as connectors so all the outfit makes sense, I just change them for another color. I chose to pair everything with this yellow bag and sandals coord I discovered a while and which I wear a lot. I had this colorful halter dress for years, but as I keep it at the beach town house, I don't really wear it as much as I would like to. As it is really warm during the day, I wore it last afternoon to go out to the Town Hall square to have some iced coffee. I find fascinating how different is living on a town like this and a medium-sized city like Valencia, and how life here is all about the town square and hanging around there.

Now that we're in Summer holidays, I've been working not only on new posts and new styles of fashion blogging (did you see last post about fashion blogging motivation?) but also improving old entries. I think a high quality fashion blog has to stay fresh, nicely updated, and outfit posts are anymore the focus point. So, from now on and until I'll be able to, I'll be trying not only to show you my #lookdujour ideas, but also tips and tutorials, illustrations, more inspiration posts...

Same girl, different looks. I love playing with fashion, specially with dresses. There's something special when you find that dress, the one which fits you, makes you feel confident, feminine, and everybody stops to look at you on the street. But to find it, there's no other way to try. Try, and try until you get exhausted (or not), until you find that style and shape that makes you feel not only beautiful but also comfortable as you walk out the door.

So, on the morning I spent at OhVintageShop I had the chance to try super different styles, some of them a bit unusual to the ones I usually wear, some of them more accurate to my daily basis. On this post I wanted to show you how to style backless dresses for this summer: similar shape, absolutely different styles and looks.

The first to shot was this summery, super sexy and beachy Versace with starfish and that mermaid inspired pattern. Awesome for endless cocktails and parties which last until dawn, I paired it with a statement necklace full of beads with remind of pearls. Just to follow a little bit with all the mermaid theme thing. Wear your hair on a quick and messy updo, pick a cool straw tote (get yours here) and you're done for party and dance all night long!

The second dress was more formal, classy and ladylike! Vintage from Vivienne Westwood this polka dotted, straight dress got into my heart immediately. Playing with the monochromatic, black and white concept, we matched this ''woman in black'' look with sparkly diadem (sparks are always nice. Specially if they're on fancy diadems and hairpieces. Who doesn't like hairpieces? They're super fun to wear) and black and white stilettos as well. Two different outfits for different moments but the same woman.

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!

BCBG Max Azria dress. In white with black touches it's finally here. I think it's one of the second hand/thrift findings I'm most proud of. Found in Madrid's Williamsbourg Vintage store (which I talked to you about here) it was (I must say it) too cheap to be real. When I arrived home, discovered the tag and search its name on Google, I couldn't believe it.

It looks like an extremely elegant dress (it reminds me the one Serena Van Der Woodsen wears on the white party episode). And it is. So, I couldn't wear it in other time than going on a relaxed dinner with my family there in Oropesa, but I couldn't wait to wear it (the dress was still hanging on the closet for almost a month!). It was a quite nice evening to shot some pictures of it, and have fun with makeup, so I did.
