In case you are wondering, yes: as an Erasmus student I do, in fact, study. Well. Sort of: as I've already passed the exam/project I had after Christmas, and I'm about to deliver one of my last papers concerning structural analysis, now I'm regularly visiting the library almost 2-3 times a week to work on my final thesis to be presented once I'm back home. What I love about this thesis is that its topic is of free election, and I already picked my theme: I'm programming a blog-archive of architecture for the city of Valencia, which I'm super excited for you to see once is finished. I'll share the links then.

So, what's my attire for a library day out in Firenze? Well, pretty casual but I still like to play with different accessories and makeup not to lose my regular style: while I might wear a cropped sweatshirt, I still like to pair it with a sweater underneath (as it's been pretty cold around here lately) and my comfiest pair of jeans, because, who's not into jeans?! Then, I like to do my bold red lip as usual, and maybe put on a couple of hoop earrings to keep the outfit a bit nostalgic, as when I used to wear my hoop earrings every single day in my High School years (didn't you as well?).

Showing you on pretty regular basis pieces from Shein has led to you to ask some questions almost every week on social media or via mail about the quality and sizing tips from this online store. Well, about the quality, I have no complaints as all the products I've got from there have had great fabrics, not see-through in any of them and I have even washed them a couple of times now and getting nice results. About the sizing in Shein: my first tip is forget everything you think you knew about your regular clothing size. You'll end up ordering about one to two up to your regular size (Chinese brands tend to manufacture smaller). It's OK: get your sewing kit's tape and note down your measurements. For me, the ones which always end up being crucial to size up are hips and bust measurements.

Besides, it's also great to take into account the material: you can see in their description boxes the type of material the garment is made of. If it's stretchy, cotton, has a bit of spandex or polyester. For stretchier materials, I also like to pick the next size of what my measurements say. And when talking about length and overall fit, I prefer seeing the customer's pictures and commentaries from those who previously bought the garment, if there are any. This way, I can have an approximate idea of how it looks like once worn.

I'm no lazy one, but if I have to recognise something is that I absolutely love to sleep. Which means hitting the snooze button more than once maybe not every morning, but more than once per week. Which means running late to class more than I would like to admit.
That usually leads me to having at least one or two emergency outfits which I can pull out of the closet, put on and rush off with one sandwich bit on my mouth, my backpack and keys. It's nonsense, but I've come to accept that as a part of myself *laughs*.

So, for those times when you're running late (to uni, to work, to anywhere) I'll be talking about those emergency outfits and looks you can use to overcome the situation, and how to find the key pieces to make your outfit remarkable (even if you're on the go). Or at least, how I overcome those frantic mornings running late when it comes to fashion. Let's get it started:

1. Biker jacket + jeans + flats
We have quite soft winters here in Valencia, so, our huge coats are of almost no use. Instead, biker and leather jackets are our perfect go to for chilly mornings and the best is that the look pretty good with almost anything. If it's a bit colder, we would go for a knit scarf or cowl for our necks to survive extreme humid weather!

I like to pair mine with my favorite straight jeans and booties or flats if I go for skinny jeans. This is the perfect outfit because it's super easy to just pull out of the closet any pair of jeans, the first T-shirt you see and your biker. Cool and badass outfit done in less than 5 minutes!

What about you and your everyday outfits? What do you wear to your classes?

Madrid Palacio Real. It was actually one of some of the lasts spots on the city I never visited. Madrid is a really big city, and I don't want to discourage you but if you want to go see things, you won't be able to do everything you want to just on a trip or two.

The weather on this last visit to the city was truly wonderful. As it was uncomfortably warm on Valencia meanwhile, we had soft sunny mornings and the air was blowing on the capital. A blazer or jacket was needed to stay a bit warmer during the day, and comfy shoes were also appreciated to walk a lot through the town streets.

I chose something super casual for this day, almost what I usually wear to College: jeans, slight heeled flats and this stripped Ralph Lauren blouse which make the whole outfit look navy and a bit Chanel inspired, isn't it?

Although we walked a lot, we didn't have the chance to stop by our favorite vintage shops to take a look, but we also enjoyed a musical and did some shopping discoveries also. We found an antique book fair where I literally ended loading down three huge Architecture books all the city around. We found there some ducks fed by people on the book stands. It was a lovely day!

Winter coats. Essential piece in my closet (and should be yours too!) when it starts being colder. Easy to wear almost anywhere, available on a wide range of colors, shapes and prices makes this clothing piece suitable for everybody. This one from Romwe plus being particularly warm and comfortable, adds a touch of elegance to my daily outfits and everyone who see it compliments me. I always make jokes saying that I'm like a little happy mushroom with it on.

When adding a full, doughnut bun and some red lipstick some of my friends tell me I look like a Matryoshka doll or something. That's fun. A coat like this is not entirely effective without gloves and a scarf. Let's face it: I don't live in Siberia, but it's cold when night falls and I need to bundle up. 

Is curious how all the photos I can take lately are on evening. It gets dark very soon, and I can't always get out of home in the morning, so the light quality is really poor but it's all I can do. With final deliveries around, I can't wait to Christmas Holidays to arrive and have some time to rest and shoot new outfits!

Casual and chic outfit. This is the kind of look I choose for University: comfy, stylish, simple. A cool blazer with jeans and a necklace it's usually the best option for me. It feels like going to class on a tailored suit, but on a ''teen'' and less formal version. Blazers are cute because they let me express my daily mood as I have some of them in different colors, patterns and textures. When I want to feel extra comfortable, I choose tight ponytails instead of my flyaway hair: just adding some hair gel on the top and brush it until creating a clean hairstyle without hairs all around.

Remember: heels are just optional! I could wear comfy heels to my classes, because now I spend most of the day seated on a chair but... Well, it's not the most advisable thing. The advisable thing is carrying a huge bag where you can throw all your things on a hurry, and even keep yourself on it, like with this Jet Set bag. Last... What about the nerdy touch, with this ombre sunnies?

What about you? What do you usually wear for school or College? Do you walk in heels for your classes?

Remember my summer trip to Boston last year? That's when all of this started. This summer the same trip was organized, but as you know, I couldn't go because of the University, the driving school, take care of my boyfriend (I must spend some time with him too!) and so on...
