Just because I like it

I love this huge wool hand-knitted scarf . Was a gift from a dear friend and we bought many years ago in Michoacan , México together with the matching purse. In dark tones of blue and gray, thick woven by hand spun wool and held in a small family factory where many other fabrics and hand loom products are made. Thick, warm, furry and soft, is almost the only shelter I need these  sunny but still windy days. Adoro esta enorme bufanda de lana tejida a mano. Fue un regalo de una querida amiga y la compramos en Michoacan, México hace muchos años junto con la pequeña bolsa a juego. En tonos oscuros de azul y gris, tejida con lana gruesa hilada y tenida artesanalmente en una pequeña fabrica familiar donde se elaboran muchos otros productos tejidos a mano y en telar. Gruesa, calentita, peluda y suave, es casi el único abrigo que hace falta. Grey & blue Mittens : Accezorize / Purple  turtleneck jersey: Zara / denim skirt: Zara / Ankle boots : Dinsko / Grey...

Combining a colorful print with black usually goes right. This skirt was a fortunate second hand found, very useful for the mid-season, and the long black jacket was given to me by a dear friend that didn't fit on it anymore,and the cardigan, pure virgin wool and second hand too! So just another lucky outfit with a bit of these and that. Siempre me gusta como queda combinar un estampado colorido con negro. Esta falda fue uno de esos afortunados hallazgos en una tienda de ropa vintage, la chaqueta me la dió una amiga a la que ya no le quedaba y el cardigan de pura lana virgen, otro afortunado hallazgo de segunda mano! Un atuendo un poco ladylike y un poco retro para principios del otoño. black long jacket: Express /multicolor vintage skirt: Marimeko / stockings: Calzedonia / olive wool cardigan: Gap /ankle boots: Dinsko / silver necklace: mexican handcraft

The beauty of autumn colours can lift any spirit. Definitely one of my favourite things on life, a long walk at the end of the afternoon, during the golden hour . Not cold yet, just a bit chilli with the trees like in flames, just burning in front of us. The yellow and reddish carpet everywhere you step and the sound of the leaves crunching under your feet . Sunny, colourful, crispy days which are p erfect, just perfect. Los bellos colores de otoño siempre me levantan el animo. Es una de mis cosas favoritas en la vida, una larga caminata de preferencia durante la hora dorada al final de la t arde. Los arboles que parecen arder en llamas, el camino alfombrado de amarillo y ocre, el viento ligero pero todavía no tan frio como vendrá. El sol a medias, el aire crujiente tal como las hojas bajo nuestros pies y sobre todo, los increíbles colores alrededor. Perfecto, así nomas perfecto.   Black Chinese tunic- dress: Indiska / Beige mini trench-coat...

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...
