London Calling!











Week before Christmas I had the pleasure to do a long visit to my beloved London. And the cause was because of Santa's. This year he came to a different city I am used to and he gifted me a fashion course in Central Saint Martins, so he completely did right. And I shared the experience with a beauty, so I can't ask for anything more.
Apart from the big learning, the course has been so inspiring and motivating so it has totally done it's role.
Although we spent the most of the time at school, we have had enough time to have a walk around almost all my favorite locations of the city. Some shopping at Marc by Marc Jacobs store is a must for me each time I reach the city and I couldn't take off my new black Marc beanie since I put my hands on it. East London, Mayfair, Hyde Park, Soho and Kensington were the places where we spent free time. I visited some amazing expositions I will talk you about in the following posts, I laughed a lot and we had so much fun. The weather was fab although the expectations were totally the opposite.

Once again London I love you!



La semana antes de Navidad, tuve el placer de hacer una larga visita a mi amado Londres. Y la causa se ​​debió a Santa Claus. Este año llegó a una ciudad diferente a la que estoy acostumbrado y me regaló un curso de moda en Central Saint Martins, así que acertó totalmente. Y compartí la experiencia con una belleza, así que no puedo pedir nada más.
Además del gran aprendizaje, el curso ha sido muy inspirador y motivador por lo que ha cumplido totalmente con su papel.
Aunque pasamos la mayor parte del tiempo en la escuela, tuvimos suficiente tiempo para dar un paseo por casi todos mis lugares favoritos de la ciudad. Unas compritas en Marc by Marc Jacobs es una necesidad para mí cada vez que piso la ciudad y no pude quitarme my nuevo gorrito negro de Marc desde que puse mis manos en él. Este de Londres, Mayfair, Hyde Park, Soho y Kensington son los lugares donde pasamos el tiempo libre. Visité algunas exposiciones increíbles de las que os hablaré en los siguientes posts, me reí mucho y nos divertimos mucho. El tiempo fue fabuloso, aunque las expectativas eran todo lo contrario.

Una vez más, Londres ¡Te quiero!

A Roma con glamour

  
 




First of all I apologize for the long absence but I've had a very busy time lately. Last November I was fortunate to travel to Rome to visit a wonderful friend. The truth is that I had a great time, it was my first visit to Italy and after 5 days in Rome from here to there, between ancient monuments and aperitivis I left wanting more.

Back in Madrid faculty work kept me busy for a while but soon I was working into the preparations for the next destination, my beloved London. This time the reason for my visit was not other than going to a design course at Central Saint Martins and certainly deserve much worth. And to deceive you, for me any excuse is good to return to the city where I spent the best time of my life. Good company, traveling with a great trip companion and friend, a course as less inspiring and exciting city and now after two years without the chance I'm back home for Christmas with my family and my old friends, I personally do not ask for anything more as my Christmas gift. Soon I will show some of the photos I took there.

Best wishes and Merry Christmas to all!


Ante todo me disculpo por la larga ausencia pero es que he tenido una época de lo más movidita. El pasado Noviembre tuve la suerte de viajar a Roma para visitar a una maravillosa amiga. La verdad es que lo pase en grande, era mi primera visita a Italia y después de 5 días de aquí para allá por Roma, entre monumentos milenarios y aperitivis me he quedado con ganas de mucho más.

De vuelta en Madrid los trabajos de la facultad me mantuvieron ocupados por un tiempo pero sin darme cuenta ya estaba con los preparativos del próximo destino, mi queridisimo Londres. Esta vez el motivo de mi visita no ha sido otro que acudir a un curso de diseño en Central Saint Martins y desde luego ha merecido mucho la pena. Y para que engañaros, para mi cualquier escusa es buena para volver a la ciudad donde pasé la mejor época de mi vida. Buena compañía, ya que viaje con una gran compañera de viaje y amiga, un curso cuánto menos inspirador y una ciudad apasionante y ahora tras dos años sin la oportunidad de hacerlo estoy de vuelta a casa por Navidad con mi familia y mis amigos de siempre, yo personalmente no pido nada más como regalo de Navidad. Pronto os enseñaré algunas de las fotos que tomé por allí.

¡Mis mejores deseos y Feliz Navidad!

Strathcona Stockings



Due to my love of rolling up the jeans (I'm short and is the coolest way to make the long of the trousers to fit me and avoid to cut them, I hate to cut the long) and my love of wearing sandals with socks and my love of prints and my love of beautiful high socks (wow! too much love), this amazing brand is beloved by me.

Strathcona Stockings has a wonderful collection of fine handprinted stockings and socks with original prints, specially designed, photographed or collaged by Stratchcona and the pieces are made in limited quantities.


 


 


You can get them at their online store and don't panic because they ship internationally.

Can't wait to have a pair, or two or even three!

House of Holland x Superga



It's not a secret and I'm a creeper and platform lover and when my pair of creepers said "I'm done!"  
I had to look for another pair of good ones, actually I really want a pair of TUK or Underground creepers to replace the old ones but I will wait till December when I will have the chance to find the properly ones during my stay in London but in the meanwhile I decided to go for a sneakers pair.


Wearing black creepers at Spray, Madrid


I have to admit that I been late on this collaboration but when my eyes caught the work between House of Holland and Superga I couldn't get it out from my mind. And yes I been late for them because it has been a summer collaboration but I got them on sales so it has been a great deal!



Before moving to London I already admired the work of the English designer and since last winter I have been looking for the perfect pair of Superga's to join my shoes collection and I really found the right ones!

The winners were the model 2790 which has a 4 cm sole with the designer polka dots print and it is a limited edition so I can't go wrong with them! The print remind me of home so I definitely went for them!





Actually I'm thinking about getting the mint ones as well, love the color!

There is also the 2750 classic Superga model with great prints so check it out before the limited edition is gone!

You can get them straight from the Superga online store!

Front row: The Ragged Priest




Who has never dreamed with a black biker jacket completely full of spikes? Any? Well, actually I.
The main problem for myself was to find the properly biker, that's not that easy and the machine to put on the spikes, which I've been almost 3 years looking for it and it's impossible to find. But when I was living in London two years ago I found the solution for both problems. Walking around the multi-brand floor from Topshop Oxford Circus I saw a world full of gorgeous spikes everywhere, there was amazing biker jackets, sweaters and shorts everything with shining ones that took each piece to perfection. 



        
The brand's name is The Ragged Priest and all the pieces are done in London with love, the have a great vintage selection available online at ASOS marketplace.

You can buy online straight from their website, at selected Topshop stores and at selected worldwide stores.

They also had an amazing bleached collection last summer but their spiked pieces are the best for me, so stay tuned, check their website and buy before it's gone!


I would love to have the full collection and I'm ready to get some more spiked pieces as soon as I am back to London in December.
