Colored eyeliners and pleated skirts. Those are two things I been really lusting for recently. Both of them remind me of summer, beach and staying up late. We shot this pictures before leaving to the Netherlands, so now that seems like I got a bit more suntanned (hehe) and I stopped being that pale, colored eyeliners and crazy makeups on my face looks like lots of fun, and super exotic I must say! I've been collecting different shades of eyeliners and playing with them lately, but I think my favorite ever is this metallic blue. I think blue looks great on dark eyes!

Also let's talk about pleated skirts. Maxi, midi or short, I love them on all their shapes and lengths. I must confess I'm not really into them for winter but I think they're the best match for summer, though! They're light and easy to pair with tank tops and swimwear. Total must pieces at the beach town house, where I spend the most of the time hanging out to the swimming pool. I'm able to spend there almost all the day and be happy like a little clam. Being on the town is a retreat from the world, believe me.

By the by, looking at this pictures I've realized that I must take a bit of more care to my hair! It's been totally crazy, curled and frizzy since I came back from my trip, even more you can see on the pictures. You can't imagine my morning wars everyday at Amsterdam trying to tame that. Any hair styling products or ideas anyone? Would be super appreciated!

Makeup. Specially when talking about eye makeup, eyeliners, shadows... I'm totally addicted, and I really like to experiment and invent with them. It's not really weird to catch me around home with my whole face covered with green or pink eyeshadow because, oops! Something went wrong on the beauty process.

As I'm thinking about new projects and things coming up for the blog, I thought it would be a great idea to share with you a makeup tutorial like this, just as the beginning of a new era around here which I hope will be as fun and exciting as these three past years with the blog. Stay alert!

So, for those of you who also love creating new eye makeup looks, or just want an idea, here's my proposal for a greenish blue winged eye. Although it's easy as pie to do, t's overdone and sparkly so be careful when wearing it everyday!

Let's begin with the mini-tutorial... For this look I'll be using two different turquoise eyeliners. One of them is like a regular eye-pencil, and the other is called ''precision liner'', which has like a pen tip. This is the key of the sharpened shape in the eye corner!

I was using:

Bourjois Sparkling Eyeliner in ''34. Vert stupéfiant''

Floral patterns. I've always thought they're very cute and feminine. Any floral dress is always easy to combine, with sandals or pumps. The clue is keeping it simple with accessories, and rocking the outfit with makeup. This dress made with a brocade, sparkly fabric which reminds me my fallera costume is just perfect to leave aside my black and white accessories, and match everything with golden touches as well as blue shades.

Makeup was really fun to do, there're some closer pictures of it below and a really quick explanation of it. It's basically blue eyeshadow with sparkly golden liquid eyeliner + blue eyeliner + lots of random eyeliners. See below.

Last but not least, you might be wondering why so much time since the last post, right? Well. There're many reasons: first, I updated my old HP laptop to a new, faster Macbook. It took me zillion days to get used to the new system (it's weird sometimes!), as well as tuning it for blogging and class tasks. Second reason, I've a real obsession with ''Once Upon a Time'' TV series, so it seems like someone put glue on my screen and couldn't stop watching it. Third and last thing, I'm traveling soon to Italy and NYC (yay!!) so, I'm getting ready with my bags and things for it. Really exciting! 

Any tips for visiting Milan and Lugano? :)

I have always liked Ted Baker's designs, I think they're very fresh and brilliant, but still fit my classic taste for fashion. As it is a quite pricey brand, I had never bought any clothing piece before, just some accessories. But last week I found a quite interesting discount on a local shopping centre, and finally pulled the boat out with this bright blue dress. It's perfect for formal and more casual events, so it worths it. I paired it the next morning with a pair of black pumps, and the Carolina Herrera ''Sweedy'' black bag. It's a huge bag, don't you think so? But it's awesome to carry the usual tons of things which always come with me. The handles are amazing, because they're short and make an interesting contrast with the size of the whole bag (OMG, I think I'm going crazy with proportions and size relationships thanks to architecture...). Then I discovered that Bella Thorne also wore this dress on a event!

I also wore blue eyeshadow paired with some glitter and sparks of browns on my lids. What do you think? I think this blue eyeliner works quite well on this outfit. I also discovered an amazing brand on my personal trip to Ted Baker, which is Karen Millen. They were also doing some special pre-Christmas sales, so I bought something you'll see very soon... I'm preparing a fashion photo shoot route soon with some friends. I'm sure it will be a fun experience to share with all of you.
