I don't know about you, but Valencia is a city where Spring and Autumn are pretty nonexistent seasons.  In fact, most Mediterranean cities are alike, changing from the humid, coldest winters to the hottest summers on a blink of an eye. So, my wardrobe usually gets from cozy, wool sweaters and knitted scarves to shorts, light dresses and tank tops in just a few days... More or less.

However, we do have some days when the temperature is not high enough but it feels really good to be on the outside. This weather feels like strolling around the city and start wondering about eating ice-cream or sunbathing. So, that's why I feel interesting to do a little #recap and sort of #throwback on the blog to show you 7 Spring outfit ideas you can try RIGHT NOW, because they're easy peasy, pretty basic on the foundations and super chic.

Let's get started then!

I'm not a big fan of museums. I know: shame on me. But I don't like the feeling of being trapped on a building with tons of paintings and people who only look at the same spot of that thing in front of them. It's boring. And monotone.

On the other side, I prefer much more visiting open monumental spaces. Or buildings which are special per se. The ambient looks always different depending on the light, on the weather, if it's warm or freezing out there. And although they may be crowded as regular museums, it's quite easy to escape from the group for a moment and breathe. And discover little spots or locations by yourself. Or touch the stones with your fingers, seat and watch the people around. To be transferred to another time just by walking around.

That's what happened to me when visiting the monumental Theatre and Amphitheater at Mérida on the 1 week trip by road we took, which almost lead us to travel amongst all the country. The first thing I thought about these buildings was "I could shoot really nice fashion editorials around here!" because the scenery and the lights and shadows from the walls made of brick and stone are just delighting. Besides, is a place full of little details and a magical atmosphere. Totally worth it!

For the daily outfit in black and white, my flats and jacket were a total must, as it was totally freezing (I can say I needed another two or three extra layers). Always remember to carry enough clothes when packing and don't trust the weather guy!

We arrived Mérida almost at 8 in the evening last Monday. For those of you who follow me at my recently released Instagram account you might have noticed that I've been traveling around Spain this past week. Actually, kind of returning to the origins! I've literally crossed the country on a 7 hour car trip to know more about an area I had heard about too many times on my textbooks, which is also the place where my closest forefathers used to live before heading to Valencia some decades ago.

We started our trip at Mérida to see some of the monumental roman places and some modern architecture I knew about thanks to some teachers at College. I didn't realize how much of a city girl I am until I stepped out the car and realized how different is living on the largest city of the zone, where people is used to live, eat, dress on a total different way than the one we're used to on the coast. But even with that horrible weather around us the whole week, I've to say that Mérida is a nice place to be, much quieter and way slower-living than Valencia. Not even imaging comparing it to Madrid or Barcelona!

As I usually do when I travel, my most comfortable shoes got packed to walk around the best and dressiest way possible. Being honest, wet stone street do not do well on me, but I managed to slide the less possible. Let's add that it was much cooler than I thought (thanks I picked some extra jackets and sweatshirts) so the first stop on our trip was really brief, as it was a bit late and we were exhausted. We managed to see the zone near our hotel and then go back to have some yummy supper! "Templo de Diana" is the place you're seeing on most of the pictures, which was really close Mérida Palace Hotel and which I totally fell in love with, as it mixes ancient with contemporary architecture and it's a really iconic meeting point in the city.

Have you ever visited Mérida? Or Spain? Are you more of a city person or do you prefer quieter places?

P.D: Have you noticed my haircut? :D

Downtown Valencia and super warm weather. Temperatures have been almost like summer, and although we're already on mid-October it's only been two days ago since I wore my shorts, T-shirts and no tights dresses. People is still going to the beach, I still literally die every time I go out of classes at noon (carrying tons of things with me, as always) and I can't wait for the day my jackets and cozy sweaters get out the closet. I won't believe it when that day finally arrives.

Meanwhile, not everything feels bad. After this past summer, when I've been stuck between situations on a contrast where it was better to not worry that much about clothing but just put on your shorts, sneakers and feel the moment, feels good again to rock the city on a more feminine and chic look. This black and white skater dress had been on my wardrobe for awhile. It's one of those pieces that maybe don't claim for attention, but it's a basic and will always stay there to solve the eternal and feared question ("What to wear today?"). As it's plain color, you can mix it with different color schemes and put accessories to it. Orange is nice, isn't it?

Talking about season and mood changes, maybe here're the last pictures where you can see me with long hair! You already saw me with my new haircut here. Not too short, but easier to style so I love it.

Do you prefer plain colors? Do you have that "savior" piece on your closet too?

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!

Luggage. Maybe it's one of my biggest and annoying problems I face when traveling. Preparing your suitcase may seem difficult and exhausting... Shall I take this cute skirt? Do I forgot something? Bleh, my dress came full of creases from the suitcase!!

Her style has already been featured on this blog before. But for a long time ago I've been looking for check if her style was also easily ''wearable in real life''. Let's admit it: most of the garments featured on Gossip Girl come from awesome well known (and pricey) brands lot's of us can't afford.

So, if we only focus on the ''essence'' of Serena's outfits, we'll see it's pretty easy (and why not cheap?!) to create similar outfits to hers.

Let's go with this outfit: gold Emilio Pucci jacket, Tibi blue dress pants and Brian Atwood shoes. If we go to the basics and don't pay attention to the details, we'll see it's a very easy ''copy-paste'' outfit. Here's the recipe:

- Peacock blue dress pants

- Sparkly blazer

- White T-shirt

- Pair of heels

- Clutch or little handbag

Okay. My blazer is not the same color as hers but let's pretend it is, haha. To achieve her outfit, it would be also cute to do a soft but sparkly makeup, and maybe do a hair updo. I wore mine total straight, just to put some of my personal style to the outfit :)
