BLACK AND WHITE SYMPHONY

Transition from winter to spring can be a big trouble for some women. However, there are several ways to succeed. Today we present a summer animal print dress with a short jacket all in black and white. As we have a statement dress, then we add accessories in a low key: pearl earrings and ring as…

SHOPPING ON LINE (II): MY FAVOURITE BRITISH BRANDS

Shopping on line for plus sizes is a good opportunity to find pieces that are not available in local boutiques. In countries like Spain there is not a wide range of plus size friendly  and affordable brands so shopping on line is a good way to get  nice clothes. It is true that Violeta by…

Another month is about to end and here we have our monthly recap. April has been an exciting month with our ten day Easter break with time to chill with friends and also short journeys around Madrid… And talking about different looks of the month, that is my selection. Hope you like it and please…

FLORAL FIT AND FLARE DRESS

My favorite dresses are bodycon and fit and flare. But if I were told to get only one dress to take to an island I will opt for a floral fit and flare. My suggestion is to have at least a couple of fit and flare dresses. One in a bold pattern and other in…

This piece is from one of my favourite Spanish designers, Adolfo Dominguez.  I have some pieces from the brand but none like this. It is delicate…

FLOWER BOMBER AND JEANS

When it is about fashion I think there are no rules. Maybe prescriptions but no strict rules.  And trying new trends is a must to know what complements your figure and to perfect your style. You know from time to time I like to experiment and here you have an example. Bombers have been a…

RED AND GREY

So far my combinations were made of grey and pink but today I have changed my mind and we have charcoal grey with red. The base is one of my favourite dresses at the moment: a fit and flare red scuba dress by Society + which I got last Christmas but I had not the…

SLEEVELESS GREY

March has brought a heat wave to Madrid. We have to stand almost 27ºC  for about a week. And this is a challenge because we still have our winter clothes in the wardrobe. So I looked for something fresh and cute in my closet and I found this lovely dress which is from early fall…
