We are about to say goodbye to 2018 and the best way to do it is by having an amazing party! There are many parties and family functions during this time of the year, but I believe that the best party is New Years. If, this year, you want to have made a statement during the New Years Eve party, go for an amazing second-hand evening dress.
Art and fashion go hand in hand. Art has been a fashion inspiration in innumerable occasions and some of the most iconic fashion pieces in history are clear examples of this close relationship. As the Mondrian dress by Yves Saint Laurent; the Warhol jumpsuit by Versace or the Byzantine virgins in the Dolce & Gabbana FW 2014. You can see these examples in the images below.
Polka dots are par excellence the most Spanish print, and fortunately are on trend this season! Since my move back to Spain I feel like including part of my country iconography in my looks, and this print is a great way to go. I love how versatile polka dots are, you can either wear them in a very casual way, such as the outfit I am wearing today, or give them an upgrade for a smart look, as the one I was wearing last summer for a wedding, as you can see here! This season polka dots are everywhere, they have taken over the street style, as it was predicted during the SS18 catwalks.
Until not that long ago, wearing second-hand clothes in Spain used to have very negative connotations. Actually, old people still things that you should wear brand-new clothes, and find hard to understand that you appreciate something that used to belong to someone else. Luckily, young people, mainly in big cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, are changing their minds and start consuming preloved clothes and appreciating the history behind those garments. Since the habits are changing, amazing vintage spots are popping here and there.
Hi there! Hope you are all doing good! I know that I have been completely gone for a couple of weeks, I am so sorry for that. I have been doing some traveling and working in some coming projects and now, I am finally back!
This week I have a challenge for you! I want you to go through your wardrobe and make sure that you have at least three different combinations for everyone of your garment. It might take a lot of time, but it is a great exercise to edit your wardrobe and become fully aware of all the clothes you already own and save yourself time long term!
Hi there! I was very busy the last few days to write in the blog, but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to share with you this beautiful sustainable outfit with you all! As I mentioned last week, I just got two super delicate vintage angora sweaters during sales, you can check the other one here, and I have rushed to wear them both!
Josephine is one those multitasking women that seem to be able to deal with everything. She is a slow fashion blogger, vintage store owner, creative director of her own brand and recently become the Fashion Revolution representative for Denmark. A few months ago I came across her work and invite her to share her experience and knowledge on the blog. I hope you like it!!
I must confess that I haven’t resisted the sales and a few days ago I bought a couple of vintage jumpers. As you know, I have spent most of the winter borrowing jumpers from my husband’s closet, which I love, as you can see here, but I wanted something a little bit slimmer and more feminine! It was love at first sign with this angora jumper!
Lately, my biggest obsession is about clothing composition. The material from which clothes are made is of significant importance when I acquire a new garment and I love the natural “noble” fibres, such as cashmere, linen or silk, well, who doesn’t? I guess the reason for this obsession is that in my experience the clothes made out of this materials are the ones that end up lasting the longest. My mother has passed me down amazing leather accessories or beautiful silk shirts, whereas most of the plastic based clothing ended up being discarded! When purchasing preloved clothes, I am prepared to pay a little extra for high-quality garments, which are usually produced from natural fibres.
