Sisy and stripes

The summer season is upon us and I wanted to buy a new pair of sandals to start with the right foot. I went around looking and although I saw many interesting things I couldn't find my size (this happens a lot to me with shoes here in Mexico). Then I saw that Loly in the Sky was now doing sandals and I just couldn't resist. I love how in true "Loly" spirit they are quirky, cute and comfortable!

White, coral and flowers

Looking good doesn't have to cost you a fortune! I admit I like buying more expensive handbags occasionally because they can last longer so it is worth investing but when it comes to clothes that trends come and go quickly I like to look for very accessible pieces that I feel I can make the most of such as this dress.

• White heeled sandals: ZARA

Summer staple

Prints in bright colours are a summer staple. Add some colour to your shoes and bag and you are ready to rule the season!

Eyes and ears

How to make the plain t-shirt/jeans combo special? Add some interesting accessories such as a pair of shoes with ears, a pair of earrings with eyes and a multicolour bag. Eyes and ears are not obligatory but they will definitely catch the attention!

Purple and lumpy

 Since I was very young I was obsessed with cartoons. I think at some point in my life I wanted to design cartoons but since my drawing skills are not really great I had to drop this plan. I had been hearing a lot about "Adventure Time" and when it became available on Netflix I decided to give it a try. It is very different from the cartoons I used to watch when I was young but I have to admit it is entertaining. For me the character that is standing out is Lumpy Space Princess. I love how grumpy, moody and spoilt she is, maybe because she reminds me of myself a little bit ;) And she gives a great a opportunity for an interesting outfit!

• Purple Lumpy Space Princess t-shirt: CARTOON NETWORK
• Powder tulle skirt/imitation snake skin flat slingbacks: H&M
• Purple Lil Ukita bag: MARC BY MARC JACOBS
• Purple rebozo: FONART
• Brown and gold sunglasses: no brand

And the collection continues

Just when I thought that it was time to stop buying new sunglasses for a while, there I go buying another pair. I promise it was not intentional. Last week I went to a fashion show and there were some booths of young creators and brands there so I decided to take a look. One of these booths was a local brand that sells a large variety of sunglasses. I was there for a while checking the various models and then my eye caught these ones. I was offered to try them on but at the beginning I thought I should resist myself so I said no thank you. But then the owner mentioned that they had a very special price for that occasion only so it was very hard to resist myself. I tried them on and I convinced myself that another pair, especially a particular one like this, would do no harm.

As a friend told me yesterday sunglasses are an accessory, so as I couldn't really say I have enough rings or necklaces (not even handbags haha) I can't just have enough pairs of sunglasses :)

• Long black dress with butterflies: no brand, bought a few years ago in a small shop in Santorini
• Denim jacket: ASOS CURVE
• White peep toe flats: FOREVER 21

We're cool for the summer

Now that summer is here (at least where I live), shorts are a good way to create casual looks that keeps you fresh and comfortable. Just like their long brothers, denim shorts are a basic that can be combined with anything. Just put an interesting top and a pair of colourful sandals and you are ready to enjoy your days!
