Colours and stones

You know how much I love colours and prints so naturally when I saw this kimono I was instantly attracted to it. I took it off the rack and held it while I was looking around the store. When I was done looking, I tried it on and I felt good in it. The fabric is soft, the silhouette is flattering and the fact that it is so colourful means that I can combine it with many different existing garments in my closet. However I was not sure if it was something I needed it. So I was thinking about it and I was really tempted to take it back to its original position and leave it, my friend who was with me told me "I think you should take it, it is totally you". And then I realised she was right so I bought it.

That is why it is better to go shopping accompanied by someone and not alone. Sometimes they push you to make the right decision so thank you Karla ;)

Fur and bows

In honour of Saint Patrick's Day, today it is a must to wear something green! If you don't have a dress and handbag like me, a scarf, t-shirt or pair of earrings will do. In order to continue with my Irish theme, I decided to add to the look my fur gilet from Primark. 

I still love this piece as much as I did when I bought it 5 and a half years ago from the Oxford Street flagship store in London. I am one of these people that gets attached to their things and won't let them go so here I am, after all these years still using this vest I got for 20 pounds.

Jeans and heels

Isn't it great that a otherwise casual outfits of jeans and a top can be transformed into something suitable for any occasion when combined with a pair of heels? It is a known fact that I can't really stand very high heels so I own very few pairs that aren't flat and I think that the highest one I have is 7 cm. It is just so convenient that low block heels are on trend right now for my low-tolerance feet because I can wear them everyday to work or for going out but I don't have to be worried that I need a chair where I can crush any minute. So you can't blame me for not resisting myself when I accidentally found this pair still available on my size and just for 199 pesos.

Olive and sparkles

Consumer studies show that usually people buy more tops than bottoms such as trousers or skirts. I have come to realise that I am an unusual person since my closet has more bottoms and dresses than tops (to be honest, I have had other signs too. It isn't just the bottoms thing). I guess they catch my attention more easily and then at the end I just end up using the same basic tops over and over again. During my sale shopping spree in Zara I thought about how I could use some new tops. I didn't find many but I found this one in olive green with a very soft fabric, quite warm for colder days, simple enough to make a good match for skirts or trousers and cheap!

Choker and studs

You certainly have noticed the comeback of chokers in the past year and I have indulged in the trend as you may have seen here on the blog. I don't have many of them, however the one I was given for Christmas by my brother-in-law JC is a very special one. It is hand-embroidered by women in the Yucatan region of Mexico and it is just beautiful. Who says that artisan work has to be boring and traditional? Here is the proof that it can be fashionable as well!

New things for the end of the year

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you probably saw on Christmas that I made it to Santa's nice list and received a great handbag as a present. Of course when I say Santa I refer to my wonderful fiancé Dany ;) He knows he can never go wrong with a bag when it comes to me! Since he gave it to me I haven't been able to stop using it so I am pretty sure my other bags are getting very jealous! But since 2016 is almost over and it is time to make commitments for the new year, I did promise my handbags that in 2017 all of them will get the opportunity to accompany me! Also since the year is almost over and I hadn't done anything to my hair for the past months (weird, right?) I decided that it was time for a makeover because "new year, new hair" seems like a good way to start 2017. So I hope you enjoy what is left of 2016 and see you next year!
