Christmas Eve Eve

In my mind Christmas is all about cold weather and hoping for snow but at the moment it is about 30 degrees Celsius in Monterrey so it is kind of hard to get into the Christmas spirit. This is why I decided to bring out the gingerbread men top which is perfect for the weather and at the same time it brings some Christmas-y mood to me.

• Mint sleeveless top with gingerbread men print: ASOS CURVE
• Skinny jeans with ripped knees: PRIMARK
• Gold-beige sneakers: MYTHEO
• Beige cardigan: ZARA
• Mint and fuchsia woven backpack: VIANNEY MENDEZ
• Gold cat sunglasses: TODOMODA

Pink head and toe

Because pink is always a great idea, no matter the season, the day or the occasion ;)

• Black and white striped sweater: H&M
• Crop skinny jeans: LEVI'S
• Pink moccasins: G.H. BASS & CO
• Black cat purse/ pink hairy jockey hat: TODOMODA

Emerging Mexican talent

Last night some of my students had a fashion show where they showed part of the work they did during this semester. Here is a small taste of their designs, based on the macrotrend Elemental for Autumn-Winter 16/17 according to WGSN.

Polka dots and sparkly details

Just because it is one of those days you have to be formal with your LBD it doesn't mean you can't be playful with your tights. And what could be more classy and cool than polka dots??

• Black dress with sequinned hem: LAURA ASHLEY
• Black polka dots tights: H&M
• Silver pointy sparkly heels: ASOS
• Black and white knit cardigan: ZARA
• Fuchsia Selma bag: MICHAEL KORS

Knit and leather

You know how much I love colour but a good grayscale look never goes out of style! 

• Black blouse/black tights: H&M
• Black and white knit cardigan: ZARA
• Grey imitation leather full skirt: PRIMARK
• Black and white heeled shoes: ASOS
• Black handbag: HUSER

Leopard, fur and denim

Have you ever been inside a shop and as soon as you locked eyes with a garment you know you have to have it? This is what happened to me when I went to Oaxaca in October with my students. The students were taking an embroidery class in Miku Meko and while I was going through the racks of clothes there I felt this instant spark with this shirt. After 3-4 days of thinking about it I decided to buy it because if I didn't I would be regretting it for a long time. It has been resting in my closet since I came back but now the weather is chillier I finally got the chance to use it!!

• Denim and fur long shirt: MIKU MEKO
• Leopard lace-up pointy shoes/ Black handbag/ Black short sleeved jumper: ZARA with Marc Jacobs print handmade by me
• Black skinny jeans: NEW LOOK INSPIRE

Sweater dress and biker boots

Just because it is cold it doesn't mean that you have to say goodbye to dresses and skirts or to being warm. The sweater dress is the perfect solution!

• Sweater dress: H&M
• Black leather biker boots: ZARA
• Purple Lil Ukita bag: MARC BY MARC JACOBS
• Black beanie with magenta bow: TOPSHOP

Spikes and culottes

In case the weather gets slightly warmer for a day or two and you want to reinterpret the sailor look, here is my suggestion. 

• Blue long sleeved peplum top with spikes on shoulders: ASOS CURVE
• White culottes: PRIMARK
• Red and blue briefcase: MARIA GALAN
• Blue "Holy Moly" flats: LOLY IN THE SKY
