Sales period started yesterday in Spain. I don't know if it's a worldwide phenomenon or if it's something  that only happens here, but people usually goes nuts the first day. Then, during the following weeks they seem to forget about discounts. On first day all I see are huge queues on specifical stores and brands, crowds in the main streets (although lately I've seen very few of these) and totally razed stores.

Why?! I don't think they've looked for any SUCCESFUL-SHOPPING IN SALES guide. Want to take home the best bargains without ending like the girl from ''Confessions of a Shopaholic''? I wrote some time ago a post about fashion on a budget, but today I want to share with you some tips about how to beat the sales period.

I've had a rest time this last week. As I have already started training, and soon I'll be with my classes, I felt I needed to chill a little bit so now I can do my best. That's why I didn't post, I'm sorry. Also, I wasn't very sure about posting this pictures we took last night on a dinner. I wasn't able to take my DSLR camera, and it was dark, so the quality of the pictures is horrible. I've been editing them, and this is what I could save, but you can see they're not the usual quality.

I wish I could have taken better pictures to show you this awesome Carolina Herrera sandals I found last day. They were an absolute bargain. Last days of sales are absolutely crazy, and you can find this kind of things if you look hard. These sandals are just perfect. They aren't very high heeled, and I love their simple design: two brown stripes with those buckles on them. They're made of leather, and are very comfortable and don't hurt my feet. Maybe they will replace my Zara brown platform sandals (you can see them HERE) because they're starting to break.

The golden dress is vintage. It was bought in my trip to Mallorca last year and it was the first time I wore it. I love its shape, and the color is very special for me because it's weird to find this kind of dresses. The fabric it's made of it's very heavy, and falls all over the skirt. Just amazing. I've been finding more vintage treasures lately, you'll see. We had dinner at a restaurant called Pizza Roma. We've been going to that restaurant since I was a child because there're plenty of different kinds of pizza (I'm an expert!) and more Italian food. Their salads are huge and absolutely delicious!
