Mx for La Marató

do you remember last week when I told you that I was taking part of a charity event? don't you? never mind, now you can know (almost!) everything about that day because I finally recovered the pictures I took there. but let's start from the very beginning!

dear Santa...

well, let’s be honest here: where I live (Catalonia) there’s no Santa… it’s more like a tree trunk that shits gifts if you hit him with a stick while you sing a special song created exclusively for that moment. weird, right? luckily, Christmas’ magic makes that kids believe that this is really true till they are 6 or 7* (and then, they know the very truth and are upset till the rest of their miserable life… naaahh, it’s not that this happened to me when I was 5… naahhh!!!**). but this is not better nor worse than Santa, don’t you think?

the ultimate DIY challenge

I'm so sorry for my absence, but last week I was really busy helping in the organization of a charity event that took place in the local MX Circuit. I think that as soon as I get the pictures I took there (I downloaded them to my boyfriend's Mac, and now all the pics are at his place), I'm going to tell you about the whole thing. now I'm back to this blog entry.

my winter favorites

right here and right now, grey is my favorite color. maybe not as much during summer, but I do love grey during awful winter time. yesterday I found myself picking up some items from my closet and all of them were grey: knitted grey sweater and grey jeans.not a big deal, right? yeah, not that a total grey is weird... but then I had to accessorize my outfit and... guess what? some grey stuff was looking at me like saying: pick me up, I'm the one, please, pick me up! (I'm not kidding, my accessories talk to me... hehe). so I took my grey watch, my grey necklace, grey scarf and grey black shoes (because, you know, black is my second favorite winter color, and I couldn't forget a touch of black...).

the girl on her chucks

talk about a wardrobe basic. when it comes to Converse, I've always been a big fan of the classic ones: black. high tops. yeah, I don't go out of my comfort area; no improvisation here, no bright colors. just a wardrobe basic (the only thing that could please me when we talk about these sneakers).

favorite Xmas gifts

as promissed, here you can enjoy my list of favorite gifts for next Xmas. some of the gifts are those I'd love to receive, but there are also some of the gifts I'm planning to buy for my loved ones and, finally, other ones are just for some inspiration (since their price is quite high and you can find something similar - and equally wonderful - for less bucks!) hope you like it!

december

good morning everyone! I'm preparing a post (which will see the light this weekend) about my favorite gifts for this Xmas, so stay tuned!

hope you all have a great friday! thanks for reading and for your kind comments, it's so nice to know about you!

word on the streets

okay, this is going to be a quick post. maybe you already know this by now, but (just in case) I gotta share it with you! the new collaboration with H&M has been announced... aaaannnnndddd the wiiiinner iiiiiiisssss MARNI!!!

so, if earlier today I was telling you about how prepared for cold weather I am... now I'm just telling you that I'm soooo ready for summer clothes which will be in stores from March 8. save the date ladies, because this collaboration is going to be a good one (even more if you think that Versace collection wasn't exactly my cup of tea -except for the leather jackets, of course!).

thanks for reading!

finally

winter is already here. I'm not really glad to say this though. I think I'm pretty much a "summer girl". and I don't even know why, but when the winter approaches my mood completely changes. no no no, cold weather is definitely not for me (even if we don't really have serious cold weather here in Spain... whatever, not for me!).

steve mcqueen the king of cool

the king of cool. if you happen to be in Paris right now (don't worry if you're not, you have time till december 11) you should go to admire some pics of this iconic man.

that messenger bag

I think I don’t need to introduce you this baby. PS1 by Proenza Schouler is just perfection. when it comes to bags this is my last obsession (oh, I wish I just could pay for it… but no, this is not who I am!). never mind PS1, I’ll find someone like you (wait! It sounds to me like that beautiful song by… Adele! yeah, I love her too).

welcome to my life

it's rainy outside. you know, it’s that kind of day when you just want to stay home, with your favorite blanket to keep you warm and a cup of hot coffee. actually, this is exactly what I’ve been doing until few minutes ago. yeah, I was lying in my bed reading the November issue of Harper’s Bazaar Spain (I gotta wait till tomorrow to get all December issues, and this sucks. specially today, when outdoor activities are not recommended at all). but then it came to my mind… why not? I’ve been following some blogs for so long now, and I thought I could get my own one… so here I am, I decided to start a blog.

i still don’t know what I’m going to talk about here. I guess it’s just a matter of time figure it out. there will be a lot of fashion, and a little of music and other stuff (you see? I just don’t know it yet!).

that said, ladies and gentleman, let this adventure commence. welcome to my life!
