Don't look for happiness, create it.

Nunca sé cómo empezar a escribir. No soy muy buena escritora, por no decir mala pero creo que todo el mundo tiene un talento o don, A veces es fácil encontrarlo y a veces no. Hay de muchos tipos: físicos, palpables y los que no se pueden ver. ¿Quién tiene talentos ocultos?

Siempre me he considerado una persona muy indecisa y perdida en un laberinto que de momento aún no tiene salida. Ayer vi un vídeo que trataba sobre la realidad de la vida, los altos y bajos que puede tener uno en su vida; la verdad es que me hizo pensar mucho porque es exactamente lo que pasa por mi mente. Cuando te sientes perdido ni tú mismo sabes cómo vas a encontrar de nuevo el camino por mucho que te conozcas bien.

Los seres humanos no solo pueden tener un sentimiento a la vez, cosa que hay gente que no logra entender: Puedo estar en lo más bajo y sentirme mediocre y a la vez disfrutar de un momento en compañía de alguien, sin dejar de sentirme así. Creo que, al menos una vez en la vida, todos hemos o vamos a pasar por ahí. Son pequeñas rachas, días, semanas o meses en los cuales solo vamos a querer quedarnos en la cama y no salir de ella porque nos sentimos tan miserables que no vale la pena intentarlo. Pero la realidad es que sí que hay que intentarlo: por mucho que cueste, por mucho que el cuerpo y la mente pesen, por mucho que pienses que no vale la pena, vale la pena.

¿Qué os puedo decir? Ahora mismo estoy pasando por uno de esos laberintos y me está costando encontrar la salida porque me he olvidado de dónde está, aún así, no he dejado de levantarme por las mañanas y prepararme para el día y tampoco os voy a mentir, he tenido mis momentos de dudas y me he sentido tan perdida que, aunque odie llorar en público, lo he hecho. Porque también está bien soltarlo todo porque sí.

No suelo esconder estas caras de mi vida a la gente que me rodea, son partes de mí y no puedo dejarlas olvidadas en un cajón. Hay muchas personas que han pasado, pasan o pasarán por una situación parecida, así que nadie debería avergonzarse por ello o callárselo, creo que siempre se nos olvida que somos personas, seres vivos y no máquinas que solo responden a órdenes.

Tampoco sé por qué estoy compartiendo esto ahora mismo pero podría tomármelo como una larga introducción a lo que tenía pensado, talentos.

No me considero una persona talentosa, pero solemos fijarnos mucho en lo ajeno y en las cosas palpables: dibujar, escribir, cantar, tocar un instrumento, diseñar.... y así miles de cosas.... pero nos olvidamos de que hay mucha gente a la cual se le da bien tratar con otras personas, a ayudarlas, escucharlas... Y, seamos sinceros, ¿quién no agradece tener a alguien con quien poder hablar, abrir su mente y soltarlo todo? Ya sea familia, amigos o profesionales. Hay gente que con solo su simple presencia consiguen que la persona o personas que están a su lado se relajen, se sientan seguras y valientes para hablar de sus problemas. Porque una cosa es cierta: vivimos en una sociedad en la que hablamos y nos quejamos y criticamos todo sobre cualquier pequeñez que pase pero, ¿por qué nos cuesta tanto hablar de nuestros problemas? Y hablo de problemas serios, de cosas importantes para nosotros que no nos dejan dormir y nos quitan el apetito.

Dicho esto, aún no sé cuáles son mis talentos y ni siquiera sé si este post tiene algún sentido pero tan solo quiero deciros que no estáis solos, que más gente de la que nos pensamos o imaginamos, está pasando por lo mismo o peor que nosotros.

No soy la mejor pero la moda me hace feliz, me entretiene y me anima a cumplir pequeñas metas que me motivan a crear otras nuevas. No me considero buena en ello pero eso debería ser lo de menos porque es lo que me hace feliz y me hace sentir bien conmigo misma. Eso es lo importante.

PD: Quizás esta vez me he puesto muy personal o seria pero es algo que necesitaba compartir con el mundo, o simplemente quien quiera leerlo. O lo necesite.

Face your insecurities.

2018-09-28T07:37:00.002-07:00

Dear insecure girls everywhere:

you're not ugly, society is.

Mis inseguridades me hacen sentir como si fuera lo más pequeño e insignificante del planeta. Siento que todo el mundo me mira, se ríe de mí o me juzga. No es fácil vivir con ellas pero tampoco puedes vivir en contra de ellas o te harás más daño que otra cosa.

Dejé de llevar vestidos cuando tenía unos once o doce años, quizás antes incluso. Juzgaba a las chicas que veía con ellos por la calle, simplemente para engañarme a mí misma, para esconder mis propias inseguridades: mis piernas y mi estómago.

Ni soy alta ni delgada así que no me veía bien con vestidos o faldas y como yo no podía, me daba muchísima rabia que otras chicas lo hicieran y, encima, se vieran tan bien con ellos. Pensando en esos años me río de lo equivocada que estaba entonces, pero las cosas no eran fáciles tampoco, así que no me culpo.

Me gusta mirar los escaparates y fijarme en los detalles de cada maniquí. Siempre me fijaba en los vestidos: diferentes colores, formas, estilos.... pero siempre acababa pasando de largo porque sabía que no me iba a poner uno nunca. Mi mente con los años ha ido cambiando y cuando uno se hace mayor, una parte de su mente se obsesiona con las inseguridades y a la vez a otra parte le empieza a dar igual lo que digan los demás (aunque siempre hasta cierto punto, en mi caso).

Hace tres o cuatro años me decidí a ponerme un vestido de nuevo. Desde que lo vi en el escaparate y después en mí, me enamoré por completo: hay que decir que en los probadores siempre se ve todo mejor así que estaba muy escéptica pero aun así di el paso y lo compré. Me acuerdo que me lo probé en cuanto llegué a casa y me acerqué al espejo temorosa. Alcé la vista y ahí estaba yo, con mi vestido puesto y mi pelo despeinado. Me miré y me miré y no me podía creer que estaba encantada con el resultado.

Ese momento me animó a mirar más y a probarme más y poco a poco creé algo de seguridad donde no la había. He de reconocer que sigo dando mil vueltas antes de decidirme a comprarme un vestido, más que de costumbre pero intento buscar la confianza y la comodidad que me da esa prenda cuando la llevo puesta sin pensar en si mis piernas se ven feas, o si son muy grandes o cualquier cosa que pueda pasar por mi mente en ese momento.

Gracias al paso que di años atrás, ahora disfruto llevando vestidos, faldas o shorts. Y a pesar de que aproveche cada espejo o escaparate para echarme un ojo y ver si todo está bien, estoy contenta con el resultado y eso es lo más importante, ¿no?

Travel far enough you meet yourself.

"Is that all your luggage?"

"No, that's my carry-on."

¿Quién no ha tenido ese problema alguna vez? ¿O siempre? Porque yo lo tenía siempre que me iba de viaje hasta que aprendí a organizar mi maleta y a saber qué poner en ella.

Cuando viajamos, sin importar el destino, tendemos a querer llevarnos toda la ropa que más queremos para no equivocarnos a la hora de vestirnos. Con la consecuencia de tener ropa para un mes y no para una semana como deberíamos (o incluso días).

Culpable.

Siempre he tenido problemas en el aeropuerto por sobrepeso de la maleta de mano porque no podía decidirme.

Amo viajar, ya sea para visitar a la familia o por simple placer. Sinceramente, doy gracias que no suelo viajar sola y tengo ayuda para cerrar la maleta, porque si no, me hubiese tocado facturar una segunda y seamos sinceros, nadie quiere pasar por ahí para un viaje de tres o cuatro días.

Con este tipo de experiencias he acabado aprendiendo (nunca es tarde) a organizarme y a decidir qué realmente necesito y qué quiero realmente llevarme. Como ya dije anteriormente en otro post, los básicos se convierten en tus mejores amigos. No te dan complicaciones y lo puedes convinar con absolutamente todo. El truco está en preparar o tener en mente algunos outfits que quieras ponerte una vez en tu destino.

Pero antes que nada tienes que tener en cuenta a qué vas: ¿para descansar? ¿hacer turismo? Sea lo que sea ten presente cuáles son tus prioridades y sobretodo, que sea cómodo. Puedes estar enamorad@ de una prenda pero si no es cómoda, olvídate de ella.

Seamos realistas: con un par de tejanos puedes crear diferentes outfits, ya sean más chic o más informal. Después solo tienes que encontrar los básicos y complementos que más gracia te hagan y combinarlos. Siempre pensando en el resto de días que vayas a estar y las actividades que vayas a hacer.

Para mi último viaje fui con la maleta medio vacía siguiendo ese sistema: Dos jeans, tres camisetas básicas, un par de calzado extra y un vestido, a parte de la ropa interior, por supuesto. Después volví con la maleta llena pero eso mejor lo dejamos para otro momento ( culpable de nuevo ). Ups.

"Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself"

Coco Chanel.

Simple, ¿verdad? Siento decirte que no, no lo es.
Vivimos en una sociedad en que lo importante es encajar más que ser uno mismo. Sinceramente, puedo entender a la gente que sacrifica su propio ser por el poder ser aceptado. Pero no debería ser así.

Cada día somos rechazados por nuestros gustos, preferencias, por ser diferentes. ¿Diferentes de qué? ¿De no seguir estúpidas modas? ¿De expresarnos tal y cómo somos sin importarnos nada? Vivimos en una sociedad que es más tóxica que cualquier bomba o desgracia.

¿Por qué la gente tiene tanto miedo a expresarse? ¿Por qué somos rechazados por aceptar quienes somos? Es gracioso ver cómo las revistas están llenas de "aceptarse a uno mismo" cuando en realidad te están pidiendo que te quieras a ti mismo siempre y cuando sigas unos cánones de belleza estúpidos y sin lógica.

Cada uno es cómo es, con sus más y sus menos. No deberíamos jugzar a la gente por su forma de ser o su forma de vestir. Si realmente no te gusta cómo alguien va vestido, mira al frente y sigue andando, sigue con tu vida y punto. No porque vista de una forma u otra es más o menos persona. Nadie es más que otro por llevar algo de marca o no. El estilo se puede conseguir con muy poco dinero y mucha personalidad, es muy triste que muy poca gente puede llegar a entenderlo.

No se debe juzgar a nadie porque nadie es mejor que nadie. Somos personas distintas de las demás, con una mente y una personalidad distinta. Somos seres únicos, no hay dos personas iguales, ¿por qué estamos empeñados en parecernos a los demás? ¿A vestirnos iguales? ¿A ser iguales?

No hay que tener miedo a ser distinto, a vestir en contra de lo que nos imponen, siempre y cuando seamos nosotros mismos. Si te gusta llevar ciertos colores, hazlo. Si te gusta vestir ciertas prendas, hazlo.

A veces nos olvidamos que algo tan sencillo como ser nosotros mismos, nos hace ser felices. Y, sinceramente, hoy en día hay muy poca felicidad en el mundo. ¿Por qué no empezar con la nuestra propia?

FASHION IS A KIND OF ART

Fashion es también una forma de expresar el arte. Nos ayudamos de los colores, formas y diferentes texturas para demostrar nuestros gustos, sentimientos, preferencias... Es por eso que el arte de la moda es muy personal y con él, puedes llegar a conocer mucho de una persona. Pero también puedes descubir mucho sobre ti mismo.

Siempre he sido de llevar tonos oscuros porque no quería complicarme y me parecía lo más básico, pero con los años he aprendido a combinar colores que me favorecen. Los tonos oscuros: negro, marrones oscuros, grises oscuros, etc. me hacen muy pálida, ya que son muy clara de piel, así que me atreví a jugar con otros colores hasta que encontré los que son buenos para mí.

Por ejemplo, los tonos claros, pasteles; desde blancos hasta rosas, pasando por grises y beiges son los que, por mi tono de piel, mejor me quedan, en mi opinión claro. Nada es tan drástico, ya que, siguo llevando negros, pero los combino con blancos o rosas, me gusta demasiado ese tono, pero siempre tonos pasteles, nada drástico.

Considero mi estilo bastante clásico y minimalista. No suelo llevar estampados y si los llevo, son cosas concretas y no muy grandes. Como en mi anterior post expliqué, los básicos son la mejor respuesta a la pregunta ¿Qué me pongo?. Ya sean blusas o camisetas me gusta combinarlos con chinos de distintos colores. Son la mejor opción para primavera-verano y, personalmente, el corte de ese modelo de pantalones es el perfecto para mi figura.

Mi consejo es que pruebes y experimentes, déjate llevar por tu instinto y no tengas miedo a equivocarte. Quizás descubres estilos, formas, colores o texturas nuevas que te gusten y te definan más.

Your imperfections can be your perfections too.

2018-06-18T11:08:00.001-07:00

｛NOTA: Antes de empezar con este post quería avisar de que a partir de ahora mis publicaciones serán en castellano y estarán vinculadas con las publicaciones relacionadas con outfits de mi Instagram.｝

La perfección no existe. Nuestras imperfecciones nos hace únicos al igual que marcas de nacimientos, cicatrices, etc... La sociedad en la que vivimos nos obliga a ser perfectos, a buscar una perfección que es solo ficticia y que nos hace infelices.

Mucha gente, al igual que yo, está sumergida en esa tormenta de infelicidad por culpa de la aceptación social. Qué más da si no tienes una talla considerada normal . Siempre y cuando estés saludable y seas feliz cada día cuando te mires al espejo, es suficiente.

Me gusta llevar pantalones estrechos, por no decir que es lo único que me pongo. No son mis favoritos pero me gustan cómo lequedan a mi figura. Tengo muslos anchos pero a partir de mis rodillas, mis piernas se afinan considerablemente, así que este tipo de pantalón me ayuda a verme más alta. ¿Va en contra de las reglas? Supongo que sí pero no voy a cambiar por ello. No soy alta y tengo piernas cortas, así que he de buscar algo con lo que realzar mis piernas para verme más alta.

No nos podemos regir por unos puntos, o normas de vestimenta según tu tipo de cuerpo si no te favorecen. Esas normas pueden ayudar a orientar a alguien a la hora de vestir pero no son fiables en el 90% de los casos.

Cuando quiero verme bien pero no tengo el humor para mucho estampado, suelo optar por una camiseta básica, sin importar el color, ya que con tejanos puedes combinar todo tipo de colores y texturas. Las camisetas básicas son formales e informales a la vez, depende de los complementos que quieras ponerte, eso depende de cada uno. Me gusta el minimalismo a la hora de vestir, no soy muy fanática de estampados o dibujos en la ropa, así que las básicas son el mejor compañero que uno puede tener en el armario.

My Work Bag

2017-07-30T05:05:00.001-07:00

Everyday we go to work and we need our essentials to survive another day.
I am out all day, it means that normally I take a lot with me (I always do, I am not gonna lie) and with a handbag is complicated. I HATE when my bag is too heavy or full.

I had this problem everyday, so I decided to buy a backpack. The question was: Which one?

I was searching one since months ago: it should be functional but cute because I wanted (and want) use it not just to go to work and that was the difficult part. But this week, I, finally, found it and I was (am) too excited that I wanted (want) to share it with all of you.

It was (is) love at first sight.
Perfect size and enough pockets to keep everything organized. As you can see, it can be carried in two different ways; that means: functional.

The design is precious: flowers and birds in a classic print. I feel me so identificated with it... I just love it.

Functional and cute; what can a fashionista like me ask for?

Now it is easier going to work and take all my stuff for the whole day with me. I don't feel it too heavy and I can use it everyday (and not just to work ;D)

My Daily Routine

2017-03-13T12:08:00.001-07:00

Hello everybody!

Today I will show you how is my daily routine. My skin is extremely dry and sensitive (with redness). That's why I need take care of it every moment.

We can start with mornings:

After breakfast, I wash my face and I use the SKINDRINK Facial Moisturiser from LUSH (picture down below). It hydrates perfectly my skin and is 100% organic. I LOVE IT.
Then I use the High Definition Primer from NYX. I use it not for a long time ago but I really like how my skin looks like after it.

Now my skin is ready for make up. I've always used foundation but my skin, apparently, isn't agree. So... I use just BB Cream, exactly the BB Cream (light skin) from Garnier. I am so happy with it; obsessed.

I don't use it everyday because I don't think that I really need it but, anyway, it's make up. After the BB Cream comes the Super Stay 24 concealer. I normally use it after a hard day of work or when I didn't sleep well.

When I am ready with this it's time to the Nude Illusion Loose Powder from Catrice. It is transluced powder and I put it under my eyes so my concealer last all day. They are really good.

Now I use another powder with a little bit of color (my skin is just too white). I have the Super Stay 24 Powder from Maybelline (I think mine is no more on store because I can't find it on the website).

After the powder I put directly my mascara (for work I don't like use a lot of make up). My daily mascara is also from Maybelline and it called Great Lash . I love it. I think that for everyday it is really good and so pigmented.

When I'm ready with my make up, I use the Makeup Setting Spray-Matte from NYX. It's the best for my make up and a day with a lot of work. My make up stays perfect all day and I really appreciate it.

And now I can go to work and do my best looking natural and perfect.

At night...

After a long day my skin is the worst thing ever. It needs hydratation and a lot of love and cares. The Lush products have all the things I search for my skin. They are organic and don't test with animals. So, PERFECT.

First, I remove my make up and then it's time to use the Angels Bare Skin cleanser. It's a solid cleanser. It's easy to use and after that my skin isn't dry. I use it everyday because it's not dangerous for my skin.

Then I use the Eau Roma Water spray also from Lush. It smells very well and feels so fresh in my skin. Sometimes I don't use the cleanser (it's okay when you have a 'rest' day) but I always use the spray. It's relaxing too.

And finally I use again the SKINDRINK before I go to sleep. So my skin can take a rest after the day.

And then I am ready to go to sleep. :-)

I hope you enjoyed this post. We read us soon ;-)

Weekend Haul

2017-01-29T06:13:00.001-08:00

Hello everybody!
I am back with another post. I've never done a haul before but I wanted to show you the things I bought yesterday.

The first one is the lipstick from MAC 'Velvet Teddy'. I am obssesed with it. You can wear it everyday, everytime. Party, dinner, work... The color is natural and so beautiful. Honestly is one of my favourites lipsticks. ( 20€ )

I really appreciate Lush for it work and the idea of natural products without proving on animals. Their products are really amazing. I use them since not a long time ago but I'm sure I will use them longer. This exactly is the Charity Pott, it's a hand-body cream which smells to Vanilla and I am obssesed with it. My skin has always a lot of problems with beauty products but this one maintains my hands perfectly hidratated. ( 5€ )

I've never bought something from Fossil before but I needed a new clock and they have amazing sales there. I saw this pretty Gold-Rosé clock ( model Stella ) and I fell in love at the moment. And the best thing was the 20% extra sale. I couldn't resist and I get it for only 77,60€.

I have a small ( but perfect ) Michael Kors and the only problem that I have with it is that my 'everyday' wallet is too big for it ( I have just 2 wallets and they have the same size ) and I wanted one only for that handbag. I love the bags from Parfois and I saw this one with the same color that my MK and after thinking about it, I bought it for 14,99€.

Miracles exist and one of them it's called 'Take the day off' and is from Clinique. It's a cleaning balm. It takes your make up off without problems. You have to use your fingertips to massage the balm over your skin. Thanks Clinique for creating magic. ( 30,99€ )

I have to say I wasn't looking for a bag but sales are amazing and the destiny wanted too. There was a 40% extra sale and this bag was there. I couldn't resist and I get my first Valentino handbag ( model Damentas ). I think it is perfect for a dinner, a date with friends, shooping... It is very simply, and the colors are neutrals. You can wear it easily and it is a medium-small size. I love it. ( 38,99€ )

I hope you enjoyed this post. We read us soon ;-)

My favorite Outfit for Winter

2017-01-08T10:28:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I went to the cinema to finally watch Star Wars: Rogue One. Here in Germany it's really cold for a Spanich girl so, I had to find the best combination for the cold and not too warm to the cinema.
I didn't want too much complications, so I went for the easy way and took one of my favorite winter Outfits.

It's the most easy Outfit that I have for winter: an old nightshirt from Oysho that I use like a normal shirt, termo-leggings from Forever 21 ( sometimes I wear it with black high waist jeans ) and my winter boots from Deichmann ( a shoes shop that I really love here in Germany ).

My shirt is 3 or 4 years old and, of course, I didn't find it anymore but I have a lot of alternatives which you can use too.

My termo-leggins are from Forever 21, I bought it last year but there aren't anymore so, you can wear the original leggings. For example, this one is from Forever 21 too. I am so happy with them. They are really comfortable and it cost just 4€ .

And the best boots for winter are this babies from Deichmann. My feets are warm all day and they are really cute :-)

Sometimes I mix this Outfit with another shirt or another shoes and details:

Same shirt but another shoes. I wear my leather Vans Old Skool all black. I love them.

They are not the same one but are so similar.

When I wear the Vans I really love to wear a socks that match with the shirt. My socks have a bow which you can see with the shoes but the important thing is matching the colors.

Mine are from Calzedonia so I tried to find some from the same place. They are the same but without the bow.

And finally, when it's too cold, I wear a beanie. I like wear them. I think they are cute and can get a better Outfit.

I am a freak about cats so, I really need this beanie from Forever 21. This one is from last year and you can't find it anymore ( frustrating ) but you can wear every black beanie that you want.

I like this one too. I think it's really cute and the pom-pom isn't real fur; that's important too.

That's all about my favorite winter Outfit.

I hope you enjoyed this post. We read us soon ;-)

New Year Eve's Outfit

2017-01-08T08:52:00.000-08:00

I am very superstitious and sometimes a little bit paranoid and I put a lot of importance to my New Year Eve's outfit. Why? It's very simple. If I love my outfit, I feel really good with myself and for the last hours of the year / first hours of the new year, it's mentally very important for me because that can determine my entry to this new year. And I need this little things with me. Even if it seems very strange or creepy. And here begins the 'big' problem for me: What I should wear the last day of the year?

Normally I used to plan every single detail at the end of months ago but this time was so stressfull for me because I hadn't any time to plan anything. I knew just where we were going to spend the night. I have priorities but sometimes ( almost always ) my job goes first and I can't do anything about it and happened what I hate most: it was the last week of the year and I had no idea what I was going to wear ( just the shoes: my new glitter black Vans ). The week passed by really fast and until the last day, 30th, I didn't find my outfit. I was really insecure and not so happy if I am honest.

But I have to admit that the result was amazing and I was really comfortable and confident. It was the best combination that I needed yesterday.

I never though that a glitter body in a champagne tone and black chinos were a good combination for NYE. And of course with Vans. I know it would be better nude heels but I love dance and I wanted dance all night long and I couldn't with heels. And, what can I say? I love that glitter from the Vans and everyone was happy about it, like me.

I finished it with a black blazer that just made my outfit looks better and classy. I really liked that choice.

Happy New Year everyone!

I hope you enjoyed this post. We read us soon ;-)

Gold Dust

2017-01-01T13:00:00.002-08:00

I've just read Capture Your Style from Aimee Song because I needed to renew myself. I thought about what I want to do with this, what I want with all this stuff (my blog, my Instagram)... If it's only like a hobby or it could be more.

I didn't hear about the book before and I was so curious that I bought it. And now my only thought is: Thanks God you did it.

The book is about how you can grow your Instagram up. Doesn't matter if your Instagram is just a hobby, or business, or anything. And that, my friends, is the best. She is simply amazing and realistic (it was a thing that I liked too much). She helps you a lot step by step, from the beggining untill the end with tricks, advices, whatever you need to make it up. That opened my mind and I get inspired from the first page I read. She teachs you how to make your photos to get the best views, angles, lights... And shows you the best apps to edit your work. The language that she use is easy and understandable.

I put in practice all the little excersices that she mentioned and I can see the results in every picture I post on Instagram after that. Magic exists.

It helps to trust in yourself, in your hard work and everything you believe. Maybe I am wondering too much (as always), but I felt that. I really felt that I could do something productive with this.

From here I would to like to thank Aimee Song for her words and her support to everyone that, like me, want from their hobby, their job.
After that, I have a lot ideas and I can't wait to make them real and share them with all of you. I was blocked and desperated but it really helped to go out from the "darkness" and shine again ;-)

If you love fashion as much as I do, you have to read the book.

I know this time was a little bit short but I wanted to share this book and my feelings about it with you.

I hope you enjoyed this post. We read us soon ;-)

What I Wear To Work ( Autumn Version )

2016-10-30T02:29:00.001-07:00

Like the most of you, I have to work everyday to earn money, yes, adult life. But that's not a problem if you love or like your work. The real big problem is what I should wear to work ( at lest me ) if I want to be comfortable, cute, and decent ( more if you work for a clothes shop ).

Sometimes, if I have enough time, I prepare everything before I go to sleep ( Monday to Wednesday is okay because I am not too tired but the biggest deal is Thursday to Saturday ) : normally I wear jeans because are so comfortable and you can wear them with almost everything. When I decided which jeans I will wear, arrives the difficult part: should I a t-shirt wear? Or a shirt? Or a sweater? Because it's cold outside but at work it's sometimes warm... I can literally one or two hours thinking ( yes, I know, I tend to think too much ) what is the best outfit to wear. When, finally, everything is ready, I just need two minutes to decide which shoes / sneakers I will wear. It's easy because sneakers are the most comfortable thing to work.

After all this caos, appears some outfits that I really, really love:

Normally I am always so simply. Black jeans ( Forever 21 ) , one of my favorites shirts ( Forever 21 ) and my lovely sneakers ( Adidas Superstar ).

In Winter I am not so enthusiastic with my outfit but that's not mean that they're bad. Here I wore black termo leggins ( Forever 21 ) because I had enough with my jeans ( too cold ) and then a long burgundy shirt / dress ( Forever 21 ). This time with booties ( I bought them in Spain, in a local shop ) and a funny Owl necklace ( Accessorize ) that means a lot to me.

This is one of my favorites outfits. I am obsessed with this sweater ( Kookai ); it's back-free and sparkle. I really like it. I combined with ripped blue jeans ( Calzedonia ) and sneakers (Adidas Superstar). It's cute, comfortable and classy.

I remember this outfit. I tried to find the perfect outfit to work and after that drink something with my friends without come home. It was a little bit complicated but the result was very good, in my opinion, of course. Grey jeans ( Forever 21 ) with my old but still pretty turquoise sneakers ( Vans ) and a cute rosa t-shirt ( Only ) and a black kimono ( Forever 21 ), perfect to everyday and also to go out.

One of the most comfortable outfit that exists ( okay, I exaggerated too much, everyone knows that the piyama is the most comfortable oufit ever but this one almost too ). Black jeans ( Forever 21 ) combined with a thin grey sweater ( Forever 21 ) and a grey cardigan (Forever 21 -- You discovered where I work, right? :-P )

That's from two weeks ago. I bought that grey oversize sweater ( Pull&Bear ) in Spain; I felt in love at the moment I saw it. I really love the oversize sweaters and I am a big fan about they look like when I wear them. This one es too fluffy and the color is amazing. I wore it with black leggins ( Forever 21 ) and black sneakers ( Adidas ). But you can wear it with jeans or with panties too ( depent if it's so cold or not ). The neacklace ( Forever 21 ) gives a little bit of color and makes the outfit not boring.

This one is the top for these sunny autumn days. I love then it's cold but the sun is shinning because I am obsessed with jackets and cardigans and that way I can wear them everytime. This time I wanted light colors because the sun so, I wore blue jeans ( Forever 21 ) and a rosa long arm shirt ( Only ) with a jeans shirt ( Forever 21 ). It was colder as I though so, I wore a flower blue cardigan ( Zara ) and I was really happy about my decision. And always with my white-rosa ( yes, it's rosa but sometimes filters... you know ) sneakers ( Adidas Superstar).

I have a lot of outfits that I could show you but they are my favorites for this season. Sometimes it is really complicated for me to find a good combination but I enjoy doing it, so, I am always thinking about it. Always.

I hope you enjoyed this post. We read us soon ;-)

How can I inspire me?

2016-10-29T01:01:00.000-07:00

I am a person who is so hard to be inspired with. Sometimes I have some ideas in my head and I just forget it, yeah, that's me. I am always distracted but sometimes for something good.

When I look for inspiration, I look around me: all the details, the weather, my home... Everything around me. Sometimes you can see something that just you realize, it's like a talent or just dedication.
For example, I love colors. They can transmit you a lot of things and you can have a lot of ideas with them.
If I have to talk about people.... It's a little difficult just think about one. My first inspiration since I was a kid is my mum, but not "fashion" role model. She is never interested about it. She doesn't follow trends, never, and I think that's the best thing I could learn from her. Doesn't matter if today you want wear heels and tomorrow sneakers or sport clothes and the same night, a perfect skin-thin dress. Just wear what you really want, what makes you feel like you can eat the whole world. Don't care if anyone still wears it or not. That is always in my mind when I buy clothes or wear them.

I don't have a role model; not exactly... I love taking little things from a lot of people.
For example, if I'm in love whit the hair of some model, singer or someone that I saw another day on the street, I try to do the same, it's like some outfits... I can read a magazine and say: Oh my God! That's a great idea! But sometimes I like to sit in a coffee shop and just looking the people around me: how they were dressed, the little details from their outfits ... and I am really inspired then. There are people with a lot of talent out there.

But if I have to choose some famous people who atractts me, I think I have three or four...

First of all, Coco Chanel.

From nothing to one of the most famous fashion designer. She had a lot of problems in her life but they didn't stop her to go on her dreams and passions. First woman who showed how beautiful a woman can be wearing pants on the catwalk and the first to teach me that doesn't care what the people say about your work if you are proud about it. Who knows, maybe at the end, you get it ;-)

I have to say that I am really obsessed with Beyoncé.

It's more for her power to say or to do whatever she wants than for her style. Sometimes her outfits are too crazy or too much for me but I really appreciate how stronge she is to fight for all the women arroud the world ;-) And, why not, I love her music.

It was a long time ago but untill now I wasn't so focused on her.

I think everyone knows about Zoe Sugg, a.k.a. Zoella ( youtube , twitter , website , instagram ). She is so funny, real and naturla. I really appreciate how is she about everything. I feel very identified with her because we have the same problems ( anxiety, panic attacks... ) or the same decorative taste and I learned a lot watching her videos with my personal stuff and with my ambitions. For example, thanks to her I am ready to write again, like you can see :-)

And, to end with the post I show you my latest inspiration, the Instagram blogger Jana ( @____vonkopfbisfuss ).

She is a german blogger who, personally, I really follow. Her style is amazing with a lot of pastel colors and very easy to try with. Take a look to her Instagram account and get inspired.

I have other women who are present in my life, like Tara Lynn ( @taralynn ), one of the first Plus Supermodel who changes the rules of the fashion world. Don't forget: Love Your Body.

I hope you enjoyed this post. We read us soon ;-)
