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.

My Work Bag

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)

Weekend Haul

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

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 ;-)

What I Wear To Work ( Autumn Version )

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 ;-)
