Vintage shopping is somehow tricky. You must see further than the piece you are getting, and foremost, be ready for the unexpected. You might not find that dress for New Year's Eve you have been looking for but, instead, find an ah-wesome two piece suit that may be ready for you to wear on that event. You must be open-minded and be ready to do a pair of fixes and customizations for your new vintage garment to be ready. That's what we did with this lovely 70's-80's dress-coat from La Sra Henderson vintage shop, which has a detachable neck you can lace up and which we got all wrinkled, with two huge buttons which didn't match at all the coat style and with the linen stretching all the outer fabric. Not a mess at all: I've seen worse, but as I said, it was a piece full of opportunities.

So. Once we were at home, mum and I decided the best we could do to this vintage white coat was to put it on a hanger, iron it and lastly, get a pair of new buttons and replace them. I wish I had taken some pictures of it before the whole revamping process for you to see the differences between both. But it's OK, I think. You'll have to trust me and have a bit of faith when I'm telling you how the piece was originally. Just a bit of imagination, as everything related to fashion and design is.

Fashion is about imagination, about having vision and looking further than what you have in front of you. I always encourage people to see the many possibilities of a garment, the lots (billions, zillions) of possible combinations you can make by playing with different shapes, textures and colors. Vintage is for me the ultimate way of playing with fashion, and a way to express ourselves as legit as sculpture, painting, music or photography. By just changing a pair of buttons, I add a tiny bit of my personality to an unique piece. Others might design a garment from scratch, but for me, vintage is the key and as odd as it may sound, the future of fashion.

I don't like to wear what everybody else is wearing. Don't get me wrong, but I'm really pissed of when something becomes "trendy" and then you go out of home and you can see that item worn more than a hundred times a day. Seriously, where's the originality? I'm not going to blame on anyone, no brand or thing (aside the one you'll see below, and which is there because it's very related to today's outfit...) but I'm sure you've have spotted at least once "the piece". There's one or two almost every year or every season and you'll recognize it because as I said, everybody is wearing it.

This wrap scarf-coat-cape-blanket from Burberry made it stellar appearance back in the 2014 Fall-Winter collection (was it september 2013? I don't even know, time goes by so quick!) and suddenly, Olivia Palermo and some celebrities started wearing their sort-of-plaid capes with their initials on it. By then I don't remember exactly, but I read an article on a fashion magazine that featured some "personalized" clothing pieces as the next trend. The blanket-cape was there of course, but also there were some clutches, passport covers and some gift ideas which included your name on it. It was a nice idea to make something you were wearing really unique, but that cape and everybody wearing it just pulled me back.

So, then my mum had this amazing idea. It was in summer when we started looking for thin wool scarves as crazy as we were. Once found, we took them to the local embroider near home. I used to take there some shirts to embroider my initials or my dad's on his, but never thought of a scarf or actually anything different than shirts. It wasn't pricey and it was possible to make on the font, color and size we wanted, and here's the result of it! A Burberry inspired winter accessory different than the usual, totally unique and super cozy. This could be used as a gift too.

I paired it on a super snowball looking outfit with this Ralph Lauren white coat, which is super warm but I'm always afraid to wear it because... Well, it's so white!

What about you, do you have the blanket-poncho? What do you think of the "trendy" pieces of the year, do you agree on them?

Happy 2014 to everyone! First of all, how was your New Year's Eve? Hope you enjoyed a lot with your relatives and friends, and that 2014 began on the best mood as possible! I hope this new year is full of new projects, illusions, new things to know and live. As for me, I spent the night with my family, having dinner while watching series and films, then enjoying Spanish traditions like eating the twelve grapes. For me as every year is a quiet familiar night, another moment of enjoyment of my holiday before returning to classes.

For me, the new year means a new chance to start from scratch, to change my mood about new challenges, find new projects and grow as a young woman. New year, new life. For me having the opportunity to share on this blog my experiences, outfits and all of you see here, that you live with me, is also part of these new projects I'm having in mind, and that I want to improve day by day this year.

Okay, now really really quickly about the outfit. It's been quite cold lately around here, although I've been not going out too much due to flu, I feel like every time I've been out of home, it's been really difficult to plan an outfit. I mean, I'm not a planning freak when it comes to clothes. But I like to have a specific idea subsequently applied to my looks, and those ideas have not appeared much these days ("should I wear jeans or one of those feminine women plaid skirts? Or should I just put on a loose fit pair of trousers and a top?"). So, I've been caught more than fifteen minutes in front of the closet thinking ''What I'm going to wear'' more than once. This is one of those moments, when I just took one thing from here, those earrings from there and so the outfit appeared. That's when I realized this red scarf is really similar to Carrie Bradshaw's from Sex and the City, isn't it?

We shoot these pictures at IVAM Museum (Modern Art Institute) in Valencia. Quite an interesting place!

Winter is already here. After a crazy October month with summer temperatures it's finally cold. And so cold that I had to literary drive out all my coats and warm jackets, because it has arrived really really quick. But it's fun, because I was really on a coat and fur jacket mood, just to change drastically the summer wardrobe and start matching with the current season.

Color coats and not the typical dark brown nor black jacket are one of the most noticeable trends of this season. I got this white coat from Mango on sales before summer, and was waiting on my closet to be worn. In addition with this black fur vest I'm wearing under it, it makes the outfit super comfy and warm for freezing days.

I'm also very happy because today I could finally give my first class project, and it's exciting because it ended very well and I have finally been able to sleep a little after two chaotic weeks. Now it's time to learn about new rendering and planning programs and utilities, do some testing (as you can see below) and wait until next project is announced. Yay, I love Architecture!

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.

Yesterday I felt like I needed to go out of home and have a breathe of fresh air. As I spend almost the whole week locked on my room finishing work, doing AutoCad sketches and when not, I have mid-day trips with the school for visiting museums or great architecture-model examples of spaces or buildings, so I don't go out of home pretty much.

As winter is already coming, although we're having here beautiful sunny days and it isn't feeling very cold (yet), I needed to do some new season shopping. It started as always: ''I need some basics for school''. At the beginning I was just going to buy a pair of wool caps (in the mornings it feels horribly cold near the University. And more terrible if we have to go outside to draw things...) and a pair of combined flats.

Then I ran wild, and started buying whims... Still useful things, but whims, as the leopard coat neck from Zara.

OK, about the outfit... Well, seems like lately I've been wanting to change a bit my style ''for work'', and stop wearing only jeans and boots for going to school. So I've been looking for long sleeve dresses, and found this bright pink on Modcloth. It's absolutely perfect for this weather, because the fabric isn't very heavy, but it's still quite warm, and you can always put a coat over it.

The black necklace is vintage, and comes from my mum's closet, as the bag and booties (I'm a little fashion thief, hahaha). You can also see this outfit in pink for more inspiration!

Finally, the pictures of the wood and large spaces you'll see below come from the Bellas Artes Museum of Castellón, which we were visiting last Friday with the school because of a essay and study we must do about it. Enjoy!
