Ya llevabamos un tiempo sin mi chica favorita por aqui. Atrevete a combinar como ella. El corte de pelo no es necesario chicas ;) pero no me digais que no parece mucho más chic europeo y mucho menos niña rica del upper east side? Me encanta!

Visto en: Calles de Paris.

Claves: Blazer combinado con corto o largo
Esta semana, dos ejemplos que prueban que hacer las cosas sencillas en lugar de complicarlas es un buen consejo para todos los aspectos de la vida. Las proporciones son clave.

Out and about in SOHO

"Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld Celebrate the Re-Opening of the Chanel Soho Boutique"

My favourite Chanel lady of the evening? Ms Rubik, no doubt.

She's a Lady... a PS Lady.

How great is to see a tweed jacket anytime... but how gorgeous can it be in a Proenza Schouler show? I can't put it into words. Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez brought the coolness back in their past collections, but yet i couldn't see myself like the kind of girl who would suit in them... till last wednesday. More polished, more ladylike but still their soul and essence. I loved every single piece of it.

Fall Winter Trends 10-11: Accessories

Walk walk fashion, baby.

Calling all shoe lovers! There is no winter without boots and this season they keep getting higher and higher. Get a pair over the knee or stick to the ankle boots, but this year medium ones are out of the scene. The male inspired flat shoes we could already walk in during spring can also stay. Bring back your classic stiletto heels and if you refuse to let your sandals go away, dare with socks. But as seen everywhere, the wedge shoes are definitely the key, so remember: rubber, wood and suede ¡Atención a todas las amantes de zapatos! No hay un invierno sin botas y esta temporada siguen subiendo y subiendo. Asegúrate de que tu par sea por encima de la rodilla o se quede a la altura de tobillo, las de media caña se quedan fuera de la pasarela. Los zapatos masculinos con los que ya pudimos caminar en primavera también pueden quedarse. Rescata tus stilettos y, si eres de las que se niega a despedirse de sus sandalias de verano, atrevete con calcetines. Aunque como ya hemos visto en todas partes, los zapatos clave son los de cuña, así que recuerda: goma, madera y ante.

Grab that bag!

This time is allowed to get wild with leopard print and fur. The envelope style is also a safe choice but hit the spot with a minimalism brown or camel bag as seen on Céline and Chloé. Esta vez está permitido volverse loca con el leopardo y la piel. El estilo sobre támbién es una opción segura pero acertarás de pleno con un bolso marrón o color camel de corte minimalista, como vimos en Céline o Chloé.

Its all about the right accessories

This season our neck is the winner since choices seems to be endless. You can warm yourself up with a fur scarf, get a gorgeous statement necklace or tie up a bow. And speaking of tying up, dont forget a thin belt to go with our high waisted pants or even your coat. Esta temporada nuestro cuello se lleva la palma, ya que tenemos mucho donde elegir. Abrígate con una bufanda de piel, hazte con un maravilloso collar or átate un lacito. Y hablando de atar, no te olvides de un cinturón estrecho para los pantalones de cintura alta o incluso para tu abrigo.

Last days of summer in the city for me. It feels like a countdown since in a week I'll land in Paris for a fresh start this course. Im spending most of my days in the beach, lying down or having long walks across the boulevard and I also enjoyed some sailing days. To be honest, it doesnt really matter what, but always near the beach and with my boy, probably the two I'll miss the most when Im gone. I find this amazing editorial so inspiring, peaceful but full of joy at the same time... and I can really relate to it.

Últimos dias de verano en la ciudad para mi. Parece una cuenta atrás ya que solo me queda una semana antes de aterrizar en París para comenzar un nuevo curso allí. Aprovecho el poco tiempo que me queda en la playa, de relax o de paseo y café en el paseo marítimo, aunque tuve la suerte de poder disfrutar unos días de barquito. Sinceramente, me da un poco igual lo que se haga mientras sea cerca del mar y de mi chico, que son probablemente los dos que más voy a extrañar cuando me vaya. Un precioso edito con el que identificarse estos días... tranquilo pero a la vez lleno de vida.

Dedicated to my lover, my friend and big support.
