Fallas have already arrived. Every year from 15th to 19th March, Valencia celebrates its most internationally known festival, where you'll find fire, music, color and fireworks 24hrs a day. The most famous thing around here these days are the fallas, which are basically huge figures made of wood, sometimes cardboard dolls (called ''ninot'') on the streets, which represent human figures, animals, different sceneries... Then, on 19th at night we burn them, to symbolize that winter has gone away and a new year starts.

Tomorrow I'll be wearing my typical fallera costume (which is full of flowers and jewelry and things... Not following my usual ''less is more'' philosophy at all...) but for now, here's the outfit I wore to go for a walk around the neighbourhood this morning, to take some pictures of the nearest monuments and show you what is like.
Fashion also means tradition and culture, that's the only way you can understand why someone dresses like this or that. That's why I'm talking to you about fallas and how the atmosphere feels around my city this days.

(See that lady at the left of the picture, with that blue costume with full blue skirt? Tomorrow I'll be looking like her)

This three weeks of ''Christmas 2.0'' holidays are being quite weird for me, especially because I don't have classes, but still must study for the coming exams (I'm already having two of them next week!). So, sometimes I feel like I must go out from home and take some fresh air, so I can continue with my tasks without turning nuts. Just walking around, watching the activity on the streets and studying the buildings it's another hobby for me.

There're many interesting things you can visit on Valencia. One of my favourites is the ''Estación del Norte'', it's like the central train station here. It belongs to the modernism style, and its principal facade it's charming with all those orange motifs and colorful garlands. In front of it, there's the bullring. The day we shot this pictures, we also went to the ''Puente del Mar'', wich is a beautiful pedestrian bridge crossing the river gardens.

The outfit I chose (I must confess) wasn't the right for that warm day, but weather has become crazy, and I went out of home thinking it was going to be cold and rainy. Anyway, this is the kind of things and makeup I usually wear for university and classes, so I thought it could be great to show it to you: it's comfortable and discreet although I'm wearing a pair of rain boots (with heels!). Classy but not boring, with the Chanel inspired tweed jacket and the little fur bag. And go simple with the makeup! A soft winged eye and a bit of color on your lips like me, may be okay ;)

I was wearing:

Neon yellow top, black pleated skirt and statement rhinestone necklace from Zara

DKNY black bag

Rhinestone earrings (a gift from my fencing friends)

Pepe Moreno transparent heels
