Tailored suit for a floral Spring

You can find almost anything you're looking for in Madrid. Of course you can also in Valencia, but it just feels like being the country's main city has some pros.

Every time I visit this city, I like to drop to ''Las Rozas Village'' and have a walk around there. Do not misunderstand me, but that place is truly the shopaholic dream. True is that maybe you end up buying nothing, because it is a luxury brand outlet in the end, but although you don't find any great offer or that shoe sale you were looking for you can just go and enjoy the views on one of the terraces, having a cup of coffee or a sandwich.

This time we found something like a ''Floral Festival'' on this shopping centre. Everything was full of flowers and vases and looked really sweet. It was super crowded also! Seems like it was a local holiday and everyone decided to leave the streets of Madrid and go there.

Did I bought a lot of things? You may be glad to know that not really, although I found a very cool jacket and new bag.

As always, my love for tailored suits is not a secret, and I really enjoy matching outfits with them. You can wear it all, or just take the jacket or pants to pair with different things. This one came from a thrift store and I can assure it's one of the most useful and also affordable items I ever bought. So, now you know:

Put a tailored suit on your life

Railway museum

ballerina bun 11:00 AM

Held at the old Madrid Delicias train station there's another museum people (unfortunately) don't usually talk much about in this city. Also discovered by the TV series ''El tiempo entre costuras'' (seriously, that series turned me totally nuts not only by the story and attrezzo, but also the locations!!) it's a spot in the city you mustn't lose.

Away from the street noise but not further to the city centre, there's this location where you can find trains and railway machines from the very beginnings of 20th Century. And why not, one of the best places not only to know more about the world and own country history, but also (and not less important) for taking vintage inspired pictures!

Absolutely needed: low big headbun, pointed toe heels and red lipstick. It was a bit cold in there as it was early in the morning, but it was pleasant to take this pictures along our way in Madrid. I just had to take my scarf and wrap it all around me. Did you notice the slight pattern mix?

The fun part about our visit was the Lego + StarWars Cosplay event we found there. Such interesting place for space ''jedi'' knights to fight for the universe peace, isn't it?

Pagoda on my kimono

Back from Madrid. Still haven't finished will all the outfits and things I had to tell you about my trip there, but I thought I had to share this outfit first, as it's probably more colorful and vibrant than the ones I usually take on-the-go.

Some days after our trip, we went to the ''Feria del Libro'' (local book fair? I don't know for sure if it's called like that on English...) to meet the newest publications and look for some sales on technical books (Architecture themed books are super difficult to find, and they aren't precisely cheap!). It was placed on a huge park downtown which made me super nostalgic, because I hadn't visited it for the last years and I used to play around there a lot when I was a child. The atmosphere there is quite tropical, with some giant trees and antique ruins, so it was the perfect place to shot this pictures.

The thing I like about wearing kimonos is that they're super fun, colorful, and they let you play a lot with the patterns and shades of color. Now that warmer weather is approaching, it's not the time for blazers and jackets anymore. This outfit is more casual but, if you're looking for a more elegant style, I'm also your girl! You could also see me wearing a kimono here and also here.

Do you wear kimonos too?

Comfy chic

Madrid is such an eclectic city! Whenever you're walking around the city, you can find yourself in front of a super antique, iconic place and then walk up to the next blocks and find a skyscraper or a super technologic building. I also like the fact that subway or bus is very easy and fast to get anywhere on the city, so you always know at what part of the city you're in.

Near our hotel at Plaza Castilla was a giant shopping centre we were very curious about. It was surrounded by cafes and restaurants where we went to have dinner twice. The weather was so nice that it was difficult not to go up and down the city enjoying the air and the pleasant temperatures (as we had a heat wave here in Valencia meanwhile...). So, wearing comfortable shoes is a must. But it doesn't mean you have to put style and chic vibes apart!

You can wear a dressy and elegant dress with your low heeled shoes and still rock the city. I paired mine with this long sleeve red dress and the CH Sweedy bag. It's also fun to see how people have a different vision for fashion just some kilometres away from home. While I'm sure people would have stared at me wearing this on Valencia, no one cared on Madrid. My theory says it's because of the weather here, which is more harsh and makes people care more on what they wear. Isn't it curious?
