Just because I like it

N ow, 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 bu...

Here, the spring is not exactly time for short sleeves or beachwear, but at least we can put away the snow boots and the heavy coats, and maybe wear an open back dress. So although this weekend was raining a bit (that's why the pictures are indoor) I manage to get a couple of shoots to celebrate the first pair of heels I am able to wear this year. I used to call the red one, my “good luck dress” and I can remember    indeed, some  night out with lots of fun. The black-and-white one, was a birthday present few years ago but to this day is still one of my favourites. And that's it, I am just enjoying the de-icing of the streets, the enlargement of daylight, and of course preparing the new season outfits. Aquí, la primavera no es exactamente época para camisetas de tirantes o bañadores, pero al menos podemos guardar las botas de nieve, los guantes y los abrigos y con un poco de suerte ponernos algo sin mangas. Asi que aunque este fin de semana estuvo llovie...

This three-colour cap (black-white-gray) is very suitable for spring when suede cannot be ruined by snow but you still need some wind and mildly protection.    The so call newsboy cap has a very similar style to the flat cap, but it is sewn together not from the back but from the top of the hat.  It may also be referred to as a baker boy hat, an eight panel, gatsby cap bandit cap, apple cap, eight piece cap, eight panel, cabbie, fisherman's cap, pageboy, apple-jack hat, Lundberg Stetson, Dr.Chiz hat, and the poor boy cap.    Somewhere between Oliver Twist or The g reat Gatsby, I like this old fashioned touch blending with purple, grey, lilac and black.   Esta gorra de tres colores (negro-gris-blanco) es de lo mas adecuada para la primavera, cuando la nieve ya no es un riesgo para la gamuza pero todavía necesitamos algo de protección contra el clima templado el viento frio. Este tipo de boina es muy parecido a la gorra ...

I use to love to wear costumes when I was a little girl and of course that has not disappear at all. I found this burgundy hat in a second hand charity shop and was love at the first sight. I decided to use it for a formal night out, with an also vintage lace dress, my old and heavy Astrakhan coat, pearls, and long gloves of course.  I had fun, cocktails, lovely companion and my costume made me felt a bit in one of my favourite black and white movies. Not exactly “La dolce Vita”, but “All about Eve” neither. C uando era niña me encantaba disfrazarme y por supuesto esa afición no la he perdido con los años. Encontré este sombrerito en una de las tiendas de segunda mano que visito a menudo y fue amor a primera vista. Decidí estrenarlo en una noche especial, con un (también vintage) vestido negro de encaje, mi viejo y pesado abrigo de astrakhan, perlas y guantes largos por supuesto No se si fué la compañía, los cócteles o el disfraz, pero me lo pasé...

When the winter starts to say goodbye, It left behind the quiet darkness, wool socks, lazy afternoons and a mess in our closet. The next April seems to be not too far and optimism in mixed with gravel and dirty streets, the last winter clothes and clean air trough the recently opened windows.  Despite a little rain and still mud in the walksides, is very nice to take long walk for the first time in weeks, and sneak out the shy sun or the ice patches on the grass. An maybe later, have a sit in a coffee just looking through the window a few impatient people walking around wearing only a light jacket or a sweater. I am not so brave, but today I am very proud of my self because I dared to go out with naked fingertips! Cuando el invierno comienza a despedirse, deja detrás armarios atiborrados, noches largas, pereza, calcetines, y todo aquello que la nieve escondió durante meses. El entusiasmo por el siguiente abril, se confunde con las calles sucias, las ramas sec...

The fluorescent colour objects reflect more light than they received, including there a small dosage of UV light, normally invisible to the naked eye. This mean that are capable of transform invisible light in visible one, so there are a little bit magic, if we think about.   So, the fluorescent colors clothes really emit light, causing the immediate effect of turning off the head. Although a while ago their use in winter items was restricted to sports clothes and ski accessories, now (and I love it!) you can see it everywhere. Like in this outfit, a single fluorescent item pulls out of boringness and enlighten a frozen afternoon. Los objetos de colores fluorescentes, emiten mas luz de la que reciben incluyendo en ello, una dosis de luz ultravioleta, que en condiciones normales es invisible para el ojo humano. Es decir, son capaces de convertir luz invisible en otra visible así que si lo pensamos un poco, hay algo de magia en ello. ...
