Woven and hoops

Although I buy regularly new pieces for my closet and especially during this sale season I have gone a little wild (so many things coming up soon here on the blog for you to see...), I get attached to my belongings and I don't easily let them go. This denim jacket I have had for some time now, it is still in great condition and of course being a classic piece I haven't stopped using it. However I decided to give it a small update with some patches. They are very easy to apply (all you need is an iron!) and since they are on trend you can find them in many different stores. So if you have a jacket, shirt or even a pair of trousers that you are looking to revamp, patches are the way to go!

Stripes and straps

If you are following me on Instagram you probably saw the video I posted a week ago when a package from Zara arrived (it was a small Halloween treat for myself) and what a surprise, a pair of new shoes popped up! I know I have a serious shoe addiction but I just couldn't help myself, they were so pretty! So I was all excited about wearing them as soon as they got here but the weather has been quite rainy in the past days so their outing would have to wait. But the child in me just couldn't take it anymore so I decided to be brave and try to be as careful as possible to avoid stepping on puddles. 

When they arrived I discovered that they are made of leather. Actually it should not come as a surprise as on the Zara website it clearly says so, however one that buys on impulse and based on design does not pay attention to this sort of details ;) So the greatest thing about them is that because of the material they are very soft and comfortable!

So I have a feeling they are about to keep me cool, stylish and cozy for quite some time in the near future :)

Cats and blazers

The majority of outfits can be magically turned into a look for the office by putting on a blazer. There is something about blazers that makes you look like you mean business. Even when your dress is full of cats!

Flowers underneath the mountains

Vacation had to end sometime so now that I am back to my base I decided that a change of hair was in order so I just went for it. The temperatures are quite high so sandals and tank tops are a must in order to go through the day!

Blazer and heels

Who says that workwear has to be boring? A black blazer and heeled shoes might be basic but if you get creative with your combinations, you can make up an outfit that will be the talk of the office! Don't be scared to match your blazer with a print dress.

Sunglasses by the river

I love sunny winter days because you need a beautiful coat but at the same time your cool sunglasses. Exploring the San Antonio river walk gave me a perfect excuse to use my new coat partially made of recycled wool and recycled plastic as well as my new colourful sunglasses. 

I bought the coat on my visit to the new (first) H&M store in Monterrey but since the weather had been warm in December, I hadn't had a chance to use it. I really liked the colour and shape of the coat but what I really liked also was the fact that it was from the conscious collection.

For those of you that follow me on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook the sunglasses were the content of the Marc by Marc Jacobs shopping bag in Cancun. I wasn't planning on going shopping but as I was walking around the mall in Cancun I noticed the boutique and then a sign saying that they had a big sale so I couldn't resist going inside and taking a look. The offers were really good and you know me, I just couldn't ignore these eye-catching sunglasses.

Have you been doing any shopping like myself??
