Non-boring basic

When you think of black trousers it is very probable that your mind goes directly to very classic, basic, workwear. But I have proof that they don't have to be boring! I found the perfect basic but a lot more interesting: this great pleated pair during sale season for just 199 pesos. They look cool, they are super comfortable and you can wear them to go to work like I did combining them with a classic striped sweater and flats, or for a more formal occasion combining them with heels and a nice top. Red lips are optional but they always look feminine from day to night :)

Sparkles and polka dots

We have reached the point that tights are highly recommended in order to avoid freezing your legs and feet off when wearing a dress. The great thing is that in the past years it has become a trend to wear tights with textures, colours and designs so that means you can keep warm and create an interesting look at the same time. Take this almost all-black look: the polka dots tights give it a certain edge combined with the accents of the accessories.

Marble and studs

Prints are such a beautiful way to create an interesting look. When I saw this fabric in a local store I loved how simple yet pretty the print is. So I had a dress made for me the way I wanted it for my exact body size. I really enjoy going shopping and finding things that I can wear immediately without having to wait a moment but it is very nice to have something made especially for you and the result is something worth waiting for.

Beatles and tulle

The tulle skirt and the high knot bun may scream ballet but the print t-shirt, the ankle boots and the dark lips are rock and roll. I love mixing elements from different styles and creating an outfit that doesn't belong to any specific category. This is what personal style is all about after all, isn't it?

Mod and print

I paid an impromptu visit to Zara last week and while going through the racks and tables of pieces that are still on sale, I found the only pair in my size. I really love their mod girl vibe so I decided to give them a new home. I really should stop buying shoes because I can barely fit them in my closet anymore but it is so hard to resist especially when I find something I like on offer!

Biker boots and charms

Are you fond of sales as much as I am? It is amazing that you have the chance to find the item you have longed for for months at less than half price! Of course when you don´t buy it full price you run the risk that it will be gone by the time sales start or not find it on your size. But if you do find it it means it was meant to be, right? Exactly like these biker boots :)
