Mid October and as long as you haven't heard anything from me (nowhere than Instagram or maybe Twitter), I've been on a total workaholic mood. First work deliveries are just around the corner, I feel like I've got involved on so many activities this year (both Architecture School related or extracurricular) while I still have to manage the blog, my personal portfolio, attend to English classes (woohoo! Hope you can see some improvement around here too) and overcome some daily madness always related to college and classes. In fact, I'm writing this in the middle of a break while eating a pair of toasts and listening to a "motivational-survival" playlist.

Anyway. We're already into Autumn and its reddish colors and wind in the mornings. Although it may not be the best of weathers, if you live on a city like Valencia where the winters aren't cold at all, and it hasn't snowed yet, here I'm showing you a nice idea to dress up to a formal-semi formal event this Autumn!

I've had this asymmetrical, tail floral blouse from Primark for years but as it is a bit thin and semi-transparent I never had the chance of wearing it before. I think it would look good either paired with a more straight shape on the bottom (like a pair of straight jeans or skinny jeans) or a more elaborated, wide shape like this palazzo pants I paired it with. The key is to make you look taller and slimmer by mixing different proportions.

The whole event outfit here is really simple, though. Blouse + palazzo pants. Then a vintage but really simple black clutch. Statement earrings and makeup, wearing a really bright green eyeliner under my lower lashes to make the eyes pop. I promise there's nothing complicated or too time-consuming to it!

What would you wear to an Autumn event?

Getting back to first day of local Fashion Week. It's incredible how it doesn't really matter where you are placed on the world, a Fashion Week is always a Fashion Week, and that means impossible outfits and certain people clamoring around for attention with their looks. Sometimes I've even wondered if there's a kind of non-written code on "What to wear on fashion month". Looks like the stranger the thing you're wearing, the best.

Anyway. That's only my honest opinion. During all the three days full of shows and craziness, I've been accompanied by the nice duo behind Fashionart, the fashion club and platform Made in Valencia which is always keeping up with the local news about style, and designers who are around our city via their fan page. I think we had a really great time talking about streetsyle, shows and fashion in general, as we did watching every show!

We had the chance to see some shows on the front row, and take nice pictures because of that! As the weather has been a bit crazy lately, I decided to go on the classy and simple outfit with this palazzo pants and kimono from local designer Benavente. Finally it didn't rain, thank goodness, because those pants were too long (I have to fix them!) and rain would have ruined all the look. Maybe I went a little bit too much for the japanese samurai outfit but, I think it finally ended looking nice! I think it's the first time I got to wore that kimono on a way I really liked.

Then, simple accessories as my pearl earrings and matching necklace to create a minimalistic but comfortable outfit to spend the whole evening. Alluring but not excessive, don't you think?

Thanks to Eduardo for the pictures!

 

I've been loving light and soft materials too much lately. Vaporous skirts, asymmetrical cuts which fly with the wind, transparent blouses... In little and subtle touches they can give your outfit the perfect ethereal effect. You don't need many accessories either to complete your outfit: a special necklace, or that vintage bracelet you were given by your grandma. So, when Untitled Label accepted me to collaborate with them and sent me this skirt, I couldn't be happier. Okay, I must confess: it's a bit small for me (wrong size for me... Seems like I should have ordered an XL), but luckily I could finally place it around my hips and it's fairly well.

I'm not very much into assymetrical cuts, and specially with skirts. I think they only look great with heels most of the time. But this skirt catched my eye because of it's soft mint color, and it's shape made me think about sea, ocean and mermaids, so I decided to give it a try. And seems like it finally worked, and without heels! As today I went with some family and friends to make a BBQ (and as you can see we where on an old town house full of dust and plants) to say goodbye to the holidays (and also to my social life), I knew it was time to change high heels for a comfy pair of flat jellies. This Gloria Ortiz embellished sandals with that rhinestone were the perfect buy to end the summer, as I broke some other pairs of sandals during this holidays.

The black transparent top with those ''estrategical'' flowers came from Zara, and I've been having it for almost three years, but hardly ever wore it. The same happens with the golden braided straw clutch, which is vintage.

So, I'm very happy to be featuring this new upcoming brand, and to be showing you some ideas to combinate one of their singular and great design pieces, and also thank their staff for giving me this great chance.
