Nor preppy, nor Pippi

-
Now, with the summer around the corner, it is a good moment to go out for a walk and enjoy the nice weather, maybe seating in a beach at the park with a book or just having a coffee and enjoying looking at the people passing by, all of them happy to finally having get ride of the heavy coats.

 This outfit is perfect for being comfortable the entire journey: bowling style casual shoes, stripped long stocking with a preppy air (o maybe just a wink to Pippi) a cone-shape skirt in denim, a simple T-shirt and a light cardigan. The accessories are made of “chaquira” (little glass beads widely used in Mexican handicraft items since XVIII century) so colourful that always make me smile an put character in any outfit.


 Ya con el verano en puerta, puede uno salir a caminar y disfrutar por fin del buen tiempo, sentarse en un parque con un libro o bien en un café solamente por ver pasar a la gente contenta de haberse librado un rato de los abrigos. Quedan bien zapatos para caminar y ropa versátil, lo cual quiere decir que puede hacer frente al imprevisible clima noruego gracias al cual uno disfruta tres o hasta cuatro estaciones del año comprimidas en un día.

 Este es el tipo de ropa para estar cómoda toda la jornada: zapatos con cordones estilo boliche, calcetines largos de rayas que dan un toque colegial (o tal vez un guiño a la nórdica Pipa) camiseta y falda corte A de mezclilla y un cardigan ligero. Los accesorios son de chaquira (pequeñas cuentas de cristal de colores, muy populares en artesanías mexicanas desde el siglo XVIII) que por su colorido siempre me alegran el día y dan carácter cualquier prenda.

The cloud

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one When rocked to rest on their mother's breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder. I sift the snow on the mountains below, And their great pines groan aghast; And all the night 'tis my pillow white, While I sleep in the arms of the blast.  Sublime on the towers of my skiey bowers, Lightning my pilot sits;    In a cavern under is fettered the thunder, It struggles and howls at fits; Over earth and ocean, with gentle motion, This pilot is guiding me, Lured by the love of the genii that move In the depths of the purple sea;  Over the ril...

Nicely flat

Lots of them wore beige trench coats and those flat caps that made them look like boys who sold newspapers a hundred years ago. —  A.J. Cattapan   Flat caps were used in England since 14th century,  and their use was even mandatory for a while. This item became really trendy in the 20's, specially among workers and news boys, and was recently popularized by hip-hop culture.    This one tartan flat cap is form the traditional Obach Hat Shop in Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) and is one of my spring favourites.       Las boinas planas pueden rastrearle hasta la Inglaterra del siglo 14th, país en el que su uso incluso fué obligatorio por un tiempo. En los anos 20's se volvieron populares sobre todo entre la clase trabajadora y los niños voceadores.       Esta boina hecha de tartan es de en la tradicional sombrerería Obach de Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) y una de mi...
