Matchy-matchy means keeping your whole outfit coordinated from head to toe. From crop-tops or tops matching your skirts or bottom clothing, to coordinating all your accessories, that is matchy-matchy trend. The trend comes from the 90's, and has been featured on several catwalks by Stella McCartney or Dolce & Gabbana among others. Matchy-matchy is not precisely what I would say a style that would go unnoticed: the more patterns, the more colorful, the better!

You know I'm not a big fan of trends, but I like to wear whatever I feel the need to, trendy at that time or not. Neither I'm of crop-tops. In fact, when I found this floral set at Zara, I first thought I would wear the crop top and skirt in separate ways, but I couldn't deny they looked too nice paired together once I assembled my suitcase for the beach town! I can't believe holidays are almost over guys, and that there's less than 3 days to come back to classes at that crazy place which is Architecture School. I would be lying to you if I said I'm not really in the mood of coming back, because somehow I spend so many hours there daily, that College feels almost like home. Also, a little bit of routine and group work with great music, food and jokes won't do any bad, isn't it? 

Despite that meaning maybe not being able to post as much as I've been doing lately, but you know you can always find me strolling through my Instagram and Twitter accounts.

Did you know about the matchy-matchy trend, or have you ever worn it?

There're days when keeping it the simplest way possible is the best. I truly do love colorful outfits, but sometimes you just feel like keeping it minimal and chic without too much.
Jeans are too warm and heavy for summer. And more for Valencian summer, which is too humid and sticky to wear nothing than your most flowing and light dresses. So, when wearing trousers thin fabrics like this white cotton are a nice idea to rock your outfit on a different and comfortable way.

In addition to this, the Bimba & Lola top (which is minimal enough, but still manages to have those awesome details like the V-neck and the slight peplum) and this striped clutch I made myself which adds texture and the fun part to the outfit! Pairing a total black or white outfit is a real challenge for me: I never know how to make it interesting enough because when pairing monochromatic looks, you still have to achieve the main point. But when it's about mixing black and white, the key is layering different patterns, fabrics and textures, always following those B&W lines. And DIY your own accessories can really make the difference!

I started designing sneakers about a month ago on an online startup, but it didn't work at all. My designs were inspired by famous architects and their buildings. This one was based on Gerrit Rietveld and his influence of painter Mondrian.

Hand sewn items are unique pieces and if you've DIY it, they always have a significant meaning. I've been thinking about releasing this giveaway of one of the two clutches I sewed on late summer because I'm really proud of them. I think they ended looking really cool and almost professional, and it could be a nice idea for you to get an unique item to wear with your most fabulous and classy outfits. It is basically the clutch you could see on this outfit post, hand sewn with zipper and featuring this really cute Toile de Jouy blue pattern with paillettes. It's dimensions are 20x30 cm and it has also lining on the interior.

I encourage you to join the giveaway and have a chance to win this clutch dedicated to all of you who have been following the blog for a while, or have just landed into the Something Fashion philosophy. You can wear it on your daily outfits, to a dinner or night out or whatever awesome idea you're thinking about! I would also love to see how you pared it ;)

500% productivity mode ON. Since I came back to school I've found myself tangled on lots of subjects, both personal, related with those early homework at College or with fashion. Seriously, it's like my veins have been filled with lots of caffeine and I just can't stop doing things and being super productive finishing all this issues at the very beginning. I do not like things to pile because the stress and "I'm on a super hurry" mood are the worst things on the world.

Talking about the busy-mind mood, you might know I've been working on some DIY projects lately and specially working with that Toile de Jouy fabric. With the fabric remaining of the skirt I made a simple zipper clutch with some paillettes matching it (actually, there's two of them. Surprise coming for you guys...). Big enough to carry my phone, purse and sunglasses but comfortable and easy to carry with me.

As the pattern is super romantic and has this baby blue color, I wanted to wear it around the beach on the last days at town with this tail dress which ombre colors go from pink to a light blue. I'm also showing you that it's really easy to look really chic without killer heels. Your feet will thank you for that, seriously!

Hoping you all had an awesome "back to school" month, or if you're about to start your holidays, hope you're having a terrific time!
