SHOPPING ON LINE(III): AMERICAN BRANDS

To complete the series of where to shop on line, today I will review American brands. I used to shop some of them when I was a Visiting Teacher in USA but after coming back to Spain I still purchase trendy clothes and basics there. Old Navy offers excellent quality basics. My favorite products from…

ADDING KIMONOS TO THE COLLECTION

Last Tuesday it was the local holiday in Madrid, we celebrated the insurrection against the French Napoleonic troops that took place on the 2nd May 1808. There were lots of activities downtown and I wanted to enjoy the sun and the festive atmosphere just walking around and participating in some worksheets on make -up and…

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…

MELLOW YELLOW

When studying Psychology, we were told that yellow is associated with optimism and good vibes I thought I could be possible but in my case I will completely disagree as I do not like yellow at all. The reason is still unknown but I always connect yellow with bad luck. In terms of fashion it is…

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…

LIPSTICK COLORS

I usually do not spend a lot of time in doing my face. Make up is not my best I have to admit but there is one thing I can´t go without and this is lipstick. Lipstick for me is a pop of color since my skin tone is very clear and dull. With such…
