Hello there, hope you had a wonderful start to the New Year!! I want 2018 to be a year full of energy, adventures and amazing moments and since it’s been scientifically proven that wearing bold colours improves your mood and your self-esteem hence I have chosen this colourful outfit to start the year!!
A few weeks ago, I find out that my husband is allergic to lambswool (I knew he was intolerant but his allergic has got much worse in the last few week) and it is a pity because I have to put away a few very nice winter jumpers. I am keeping them on the side because I haven’t made my mind whether I should give them away or keep them and hope that my husband’s allergy would eventually improve.
Growing up in Spain during the 80’s and 90’s second-hand clothes were not even part of the equation. The most someone would have had is a hand me down garment from a family member and believe me, there was nothing cool about it!! Thankfully things have changed and buying second-hand clothes is becoming easier and more acceptable. For those who I still on the fence, I have created a list of why you should be buying pre-loved clothes.
In 2016 The Fashion Revolution movement proposed “Haulternatives”, how to refresh your wardrobe without having to purchase new clothes. They suggested different ways to do it, from DIY projects to renting clothes.
Reduce, reuse and recycle is the mantra of all good ethical bloggers!! In order to reduce our purchases we need to start buying better and of course, keeping items for longer and today’s post is all about that!!
Globalization is unfortunately destroying the social fabric of local communities and countries. Traditional costumes and jewelry are part of the cultural heritage and it is being lost as more and more people adhere to global trends and giving up their cultural identity. There is something sad about it and takes away some of the uniqueness of traveling to distant places, since wherever you go you see similar fashion looks advertised by big name high street retail stores worldwide. The irony is that high-end fashion is constantly looking for inspiration in local traditions ranging from the saree to the kilt. These looks are then re-engineered for a trendy twist on an ethnic look.
Have you ever thought to yourself, I would like to wear what that other person is wearing, but knowing that you will never buy that garment? I know how it feels, and that’s the reason I love borrowing clothes from my sister’s wardrobe. I get to be a new person with a completely new wardrobe without having to consume or waste natural resources and it feels great! For this occasion, I got this knitted top with a back detail to fall in love with! And you might be wondering, can it get any better? Actually, yes, it can!! I also borrowed some of my mother jewellery pieces!
Today, I want to share my latest pictures taken in Atlanta!!
After the NYFW it is clear that strong colours are going to be hot next season. Colours and trends are closely related to the social and political climate in which we live, and all these strong colour are a declaration of optimism. The world is going through hard times, but we decided to stay positive and hope that things will work out for the best!
I love weddings, it is so nice to spend a full day celebrating love and if that wasn’t enough you get to catch up with family and friends, which makes the day even better.
