Turn a blind eye to cold.



Today my kitten has woken up me tickling my feet at 7 o'clock in the morning. It wanted me to wrap around my arms because it was freezing. That is when I realized that we finally have november with us. After 2 months with hot temperature we can finally say it's winter, is november and…therefore x-mas is coming! 

But low temperatures do not mean to dress up with 30 layers like an onion. Winter has his own charming. And we can use it to show an stylish look. Because to shine you must first suffer. 

Winter is the white and the black season. White due to the weather. (time for skiing!) and black because the freezing temperatures invite us to dress with warm colors like black or the dark ones. Therefore, I am here to suggest you a look to cheers up yourself to struggle with the everyday. 










My today's look consist in a green waistcoat and a rural checked shirt with a plain blue jeans. Although it seems a lie, the waistcoat is very warm, even with uncovered sleeves. 
Joining these, I chose a red, greed and cream checked shirt to match with, blue basic jeans, and one of my favorite due to his comfort (and because I've made by myself) cream boots. 
The ultimate accessory: a  rural but cool brown handbag. 





















take care ;)

X-Mas lights and Winter Wonderland.



oh yes! they are finally here! at last :) 

As every year London wear his streets around the city with christmas lights of many colors and they came in all shapes and forms. It seems to go up earlier every year but actually walking thoroughout the streets in order to get at your work it becomes easier with this landscape in front of you. 

The lights illuminate most of the streets of the city, specially central London. The main streets you must go are: 

- Regent Street: from my view, the most beautiful lights. Being one of the most importants streets of London, they set up a marvelous chain of lights drawing a gold crown at the middle during all of the huge street.  This 2013, it's has been a breathtaking light display themed on animated film "Mr Peabody and Sherman". 




- Cover Garden: for me, undeniably, the second position in my personal ranking. This year, taking inspiration from the last year's Lego advent calendar. Cover garden, as I've explained in another post previously, is the perfect place to go out one saturday night with your colleagues or one sunday afternoon with your partner. It has a closed-door market  selling all kinds of handicrafts and, of course, x-mas decoration at this season. Moreover, it usually has a street music bands that makes your promenade more pleasant. 


Oxford Street: the shopping street. The lights are created with the goal of motivating and stimulating you to buy presents and clothes. Curiosity: Jessie J, Conor Maynard and X-Fastor winner James Arthur performed live at this year's christmas lights  switch-on. This year, after 5 years, the lights are inspirited by falling snowflakes and the atmospheric christmas lights of Japan, Madrid and Berlin.


Another:  Carnaby with a hundreds of oversized 3D robins lighting up the 13 streets of the area; Kensignton and chelsea with the ice- rink beside the Natural Museum; Knightbridge and the luxury store of Harrods; Trafalgar square christmas tree. Curiosity: since 1947, stately Trafalgar Square receives a majestic Norwegian Christmas Tree as an annual gift from the people of Oslo, thanking Britain for its support and friendship during World War Two. This enormous tree is placed at the middle of the square and is a popular seasonal tourist attraction, specially in the fortnight leading up to Christmas, when each evening (from 9th to 22nd dec) a different choir gathers there to sing carons and raise money for a range of voluntary or charitable organizations. 































…and one unavoidable: Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. 










I can say nothing about this festival. You must see by yourself. It is just amazing. The best structure created in London to celebrate and join Christmas on a large scale and through the main gate. 
In a little area of the large Hyde Park you can find it: The Winter Wonderland. 
With open doors from 22nd November at 5pm exactly you can join the festival until January, every day (from 10am to 10pm) with the small child or with the grand-parents. You choose the company and the park offers you a large fan of opportunities. 

The entry is free, so you can wander through the park, soaking up the festive atmosphere and enjoy all the free entertainment on offer: ice skating, a visit to The Magical Ice Kingdom, take a ride in the Giant Observation Wheel or see a show at Zippos Circus (buying tickets). 



You can perfectly spend the whole afternoon or even day inside: you have attractions, you have christmas markets to visit and food to taste. What else?

…more H&M.

Talking so much about the big store H&M in the last post, I've been inspired by a H&M's outfit that I wore yesterday in order to show you here by now. 

So, do you want to get a foothold in the last trend? bet on a cape! Although it seems that we step back to 30 years ago with this item, we are wrong. As everyone of us knows fashion trends go back and forth over the years, and it's not a surprise that you could get a cape from your mother or even your grandma. Personally talking…I have a wonderful cream-white cape from my mother, and believe me they are not old-fashioned at all. 

But today I would like to suggest a cape from H&M (because of course my mother's cape is impossible to get nowadays….unless you've got a personal tailor or you can made by yourself!- I do not dismiss the idea-)



And here you have: matching with a hat in the same color make your outfit a smart-casual look out of ordinary, from my point of view. 
You can get a cap from any shop and from any shape cause they are  becoming a must-have in your wardrobe. This black hat is from H&M from the last autumn-season (€9,95). The cape is from this season, and you can get it for €49.95. The trousers are a mix of leggins and jeans, and they are so comfortable, from H&M (€9,95). 






And the perfect combination detail: this stylish loose white plain shirt. The perfect detail is that you can tie a bow with the shirt's neck and this will be shown by outside the cape. 
And finally: my mother's black boots with a fur grey bracelet on it; and this practical black hand-bag, from Primark (€14)



take care ;)

Isabel Marant for H&M

How I've promised, here I'am again with a new post! and WoW! What post :)
 
Since H&M decided to invite an internacional and a well-known designer to create a capsule collection every year, all of us wait impatiently this day will arrive.

The last 14th of november H&M launched the 2013's VIPs collection, by the french designer Isabel Marant. The same day in the very early morning there was plenty of people waiting at the door for the big opening of the shops that had the opportunity to show and introduce the new collection. 
Isabel Marant is a French house of fashion founded in 1994 by the same Isabel. The company has 10 shops worldwide.  And now we can get one ítem with the firm of Isbel Marant for less than 199 euros thanks to the agreement made between her and the big store "H&M", launching a low cost collection inspirated and made with the same spirit that Isabel does every year in her haute couture. 
And none of the ítems have not disappointed: from womenswear and menswear to teen and accessories. 
In the accompanying lookbook, Alek Wek, Lou Doillon, Milla Javovich and Constance model pieces that echo Marant's parisian boheman aesthetic perfectly. An embellished trophy jacket is worn with leather cropped trousers, a loose peasant top with printed jeans, and mannish outerwear with white trousers and slouchy boots with fringer detailing.
There is more than 100 ítems, but I've collected the ones I really love. Of course I would like to purchase all of them, but following this idea, I must buy any article my eyes love, and that's not healty for my upper budget.


We start from head.  A wonderful textured cream jersey or sueter with textures and colour decoration;  and it seems to be so warm! On the other hand,  these loose trousers, perfectly matched with a tight black t-shirt and a dizzy hight-heels. 



And of course our basic of this new and frozen season: boots. The first ones are really really really cool, and they have been the reason of madness for most women. but actually  I prefer the second ones. The silver bracelet around the boot has pesuaded me. 

Now, if you have a black back-less dress, you can buy this perfect necklace. The normal combination would be to let fall it by your neck, but I suggest a new trend by myself: wear it at the opposite side, I mean, let the gold necklace fall by your naked back. 


 And like always, the best for the last: the whim of the collection: 

Do you know the French haute couture's designer BALMAIN? Of course you know. The epitome of rock-chic glam with and element of couture, is the brand that everybody wants to be seen wearing. If you let yourself to be introduced in his dazzling architectural dresses and ítems, you will never come back. Is one of my favorites designers, I specially love his wool and silk miniskirts in multiple electric colours. 
The picture of this Marant's skirt just above has a similar look to the Balmari's skirts: 



Yes, I know, they are completely different (specially the prince) but something is something, isn't it?

Hello everyone! yes, I know. I do apologize …too many time without any update. But actually I have a excuse: I've been working so hard the whole summer. Yes, "work". This word which is so difficult to struggle with day-to-day. 

but I am back! and now…with all the word's time.  I would like to talk, criticize and evaluate every issue is happening in this crazy world we are living in.

in the meantime…I am posting from home, Spain (by the moment…), and I'am starting with Isabel Marant for H&M tomorrow…

Summer holidays.



Are you planning your next holidays? Do not you know where is the best place to go? Is it better to visit first your country heritage? Or going abroad and explore cultures is the better option always? 
In this post I would like to suggest some destination depending on the treats and expectation of everyone. 

OPTION 1
My first option is, and I guess it  always will be the same, Ibiza. It is still spring but you already can feel the warm and the hot weather around us. Summer time. Summer is time to spend with your friends, with a cool beer and to sunbathe in a unspoiled beach with the only worry of the possible jelly-fish's sting. Ibiza is an island situated in Balears, Spain. Widely-known as a clabbers delight, I can say in his defense that you can find the charming without take any pill or being permanently drunk.  Personally talking, I have a lot of haunts there, magical beaches and of course the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. If you are planning your holidays abroad with your friends and you are looking for some relax but at the same time enliven any night with party, Ibiza is the best choice for you and your friends. There you will find unspoiled and marvelous beaches with crystal clear water where you can rest under the sun the whole afternoon or if you prefer you can practice scuba divine or even deep fishing.
After a day spent on the beach, I recommend you to go to appreciate the perfect present that nature could ever give you: a sunset. Around 9 o'clock is time to get into your car or motorbike (if you do not rent a car you are dead in that island) and go though hills until you arrive to the perfect place to get the big picture. Remember a name: Cala d'Hort (beach) and Es Vedrà ( sunset- search for web-pictures. Is the perfect scenic landscape). 
At night, is you are tired or more romantic felt you can choose: going out or going to see the stars. The latter is a good option when you have gone out and you have flirted out with some one and you would like to impress her/him. So, take note of this place: Punta Galera. Actually is, for me, the best place to see the stars (if you are lucky and is not a full-moon night, because if it is, there is too light, but perfectly you can see it, do not worry). 
Ibiza is the queen of the party. There are some many places to go. Even in one month there you cannot visit all of them. But in the big picture, there are two kinds of party: the big and famous club, or small but friendly pubs in San Antoni de Portmany. There is a large street called "west" filled with tourists and bars. Pacha, Privilege, Space: They are the posh clubs. From my point of view and my own experience there, I should say that I have been in all of them, but I really prefer the small bars in San Antoni, with an exception: Flower Power of Pacha. it is "the party". If you like the nineties and eighteen music you will enjoy it for sure. This party take place every thursday in Pachá, in Ibiza city. 
So, this is my suggestion for the crazy- summer- friendly holidays. You just have to buy a flight, fill your luggage with swimsuits and your camera to immortalize every perfect moment. 
Do not hesitate to visit FORMENTERA. The best unspoiled island in the world. You can get a boat in Ibz's harbour and spend just a day there hiring a cycle or a motorbike.  Just...amazing :) 

OPTION 2
Every time more it is becoming famous to backpacking the south-west of America. This is the typical travel that you must do once-in-a-life time.  A route though Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, visiting keys destinations as Las Vegas, Los Ángeles. But this is the kind of travel that you have to plan before going to have everything tied: how many days you will spend in each country, rent the traditional Mustang to make your way, reserve the hotels and of course plan a map with everything you MUST visit. if you hate waking late and walking a lot, do not do this plan, because this kind of holidays is prepared for those people who want to make the most of these days by visiting everything they have time to. If you prefer relax, go to option 1!


HOLIDAY HOME

The "cheap option" is of course, stay at home. There is a lot of people (I could be included in the group) that prefer to go abroad when actually they do not know so much about his own country or city. Now you have the opportunity to take advantage of your days-off and visit your surroundings. I am sure that wherever you live near you have a lot of heritages and landmarks to visit. Plan a map and visit them. To go abroad and visit another countries you should know yours because, what happened when citizens from another country ask you about your country and you do not know nothing at all? 


I will to suggest you the web-sides where I usually rent an apartment, reserve an hotel or hostel:

St Paul's Cathedral.

One of the charming of St Paul's Cathedral is that you can see it from any alley near the landmark. How  is it possible? First of all, because it is surprisingly big and marvelous. 

St Paul's is a bic church that sits at the top of Ludgate hill, the highest point in the City of London. The church that you can visit nowadays dates from the 17th century: after the famous Great Fire of London in 1666 the Cathedral was involved in a big rebuilding program. 

The cathedral is one of the most famous and most recognizable sights of London. Until 1962 it was the tallest building in London. Nowadays his dome continues being one of the highest in the world.
Due being in the City of London, it is funny to see between 12 to 1pm how office's workers go to have lunch in the small but quite cathedral yard in these sunny days. 
Next to the cathedral, glued to her, you can go to visit the Millennium bridge. It is a steel suspending bridge that crosses the river Thames. In the film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood prince is showed how the Millennium bridge is destroyed. If you cross the bridge, on the opposite side, you can visit the Tate Modern museum, the most-visited art modern gallery around the world. 

Back to the Cathedral, I suggest better you to visit the Museum of London, close the cathedral as well (just 300 meters from the church - in Barbican Centre-). Is a good way to know about the history of London and the UK in general. You will get acquainted with tools, clothes, traditions from the prehistoric times to day-to-day.     


to get in: Tube red line or bus until St Pauls.

Fancy* by Topshop









I can't wait to show you my weekly fancy. I found this amazing blue dress with pearls on the sleeve last week in Topshop. It costs around 65 pounds but the price is so worth. I could not found it on the web so I show you with my personal photos. It suits perfectly but it is too smart, so you should wear it in a special event or glamorous party.

Greenwich Mean Time. The global hour.

You should know that Greenwich is a borough of London known because it lies the Greenwich Mean Time. It is a term originally referring to mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. As the UK grew into an advanced maritime nation (Greenwich is well known for it as well), British mariners kept at least one chronometer on GMT -Greenwich Mean Time- in order to calculate their longitude from the Greenwich meridian. The greeenwich meridian was considered, by convention in the USA) to have longitude zero degrees in 1884. So, this marine's practice, combined with mariners from other nations drawing from "Nevil Maskelyne's" method of lunar distances based on observation at grenwich, eventually led to GMT being used worldwide as a reference time independent of location. That is why most countries set up their time or number of hours ahead of GMT or behind GMT. 

So, we can know and say that the global hour is original from London, as many things are. In Greenwich borough you can visit the Royal Observatory of Greenwich and his history. From there there is the laser that is marking the prime meridian. 

And from Greenwich to the Elizabeth tower. Surely you should know it but with another name, the original but the old name: The tower of clock (most known as Big Ben, but Big Ben is the name of the bell, not the tower). From 2012 is was re-named with Elizabeth tower in commemoration to Queen Elizabeth in his Diamond Jubilee year event. 

Is one of the most famous landmarks of London and surely the most visited by tourists in their trips. It lies together with The Parliament of London (the famous parliament, because it is the origin of most bi-cameral governments in the world) and next to them there is the huge Westminster Abbey (highly recommended to visit, but 18 pounds to get in. Maybe because Darwin is buried inside? Do not know). 

The connexion of Big Ben with The Greenwich meridian is that the Clock gives us the global hour 0 in the world. If you want to have the exact hour in your wrist clock (or pocket clock as english style) you can stand front of the Elizabeth Tower and set it.




Curiosity: the Greenwich meridian passes through the UK, France, Spain, Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Ghana and Queen Maud Land in Antarctica. So, being in the same meridian as the UK (the 0 meridian), why Spain has different hour? (and specially one hour more?). The answer comes returning back in Franco's era. The dictator Fsco. Franco had few like-ability to English people from the UK. If we add the fact that the dictator did everything agreed with german's dictator, Hitler, we find the solution here: Franco unilaterally decided to change the original hour that we had and swapped for german hour. So, we have different hour from English people from Franco's times only and because of him. And it is curious that any government before has not change it.

Outfit by Mango Barcelona

Fashion day today! Yesterday while I was waiting for a meeting with a friend I walk around Regent Street (I had met in Piccadilly Circus, of course) and I couldn't resist get into the enormous Mango store. I fell in love with almost everything (I really hate spring and summer time because everything is ideal) but I will suggest you one outfit to dress this time (this time when you don't know if you should wear short with or without tights or jeans with flip-flops). So, let's go: 

The item I love the most and the star of my post is this colorful jacket inspirated in boho made by cotton. Lovely! 




The main color of the jacket is beige and black, and there is a  brush-stroke of red. We will take advantage of the latter and we will match with: 

Day outfit: The best matched is combine the jacket with red shorts and brown belt (as you can see in the picture) and brown sandals and brown handbag. 

Night outfit:  match the same jacket but with long black trousers or shorts like this style: 

 


I really love the first one, with red hight-heels and one red clutche. 

Everything sponsored by Mango.

A luxury out of reach for most.





Who doesn't know Harrods? The big luxury store located in one of the most prestigious borough in London, Knightsbridge and Chelsea. The store occupies 22.000 m2! The shop has 300 departments that offer a wide range of luxury products and services. They include clothing for women, men , children, electronics, jewelry, sporting gear, bridal trousseau, pets and pet accessories, toys, food and drink, health and beauty items, packaged gifts, stationery, housewares, home appliances, furniture..and much more. 
After being the whole morning visiting around the store, Harrods also offers the service of 32 restaurants, serving everything from high tea to tapas. I suggest you to spend a couple of hours (if you can resist stay less) where I call "chocolate floor". There exist a floor where is plenty of chocolate and sweets. It is really amazing, and the smell... grr!

If you can afford you can hire a personal shopping-assistance programme known as "by appointment" or visit a tailor in the same store. Also if you have splashed out on amazing dresses because you couldn't resist, Harrods has personal Financial Services for you, or the Harrods Bank. 

Other curious services are for example: private event planing and catering, food delivery, a wine steward, bespoke "picnic" hampers and gift boxes, bespoke cakes or bespoke fragrances formulations. 

It is an amazing store to spend a little while visiting it. It is worth. Up to 300.000 customers visit the shop on peak days, comprising the highest proportion of customers from non-English speaking countries of any department store in London. 

In Harrods lies one memorial of Diana, Princess of Wales. Located at the base of the Egyptian Escalator, consisting of photographs of the two behind a pyramid-shaped display that holds a wine glass smudged with lipstick from Diana's last dinner as well as what is described as an engagement ring Dodi purchased the day before they died. 

So, please visit it because is so worth. But, be careful!, from 1989 Harrods has had a dress code. It was so strict but nowadays a wide range of outfits for everyone is possible to get inside. 

*History key:  the first escalator in the world was settled in Harrods in 1898. Customers hesitated about using it, that is why Harrods offered Brandy to their costumers to take awe out. 

EVENT: This weekend you can enjoy the 10% disccount in many items from Harrods, only saturday and sunday.

to get in: tube until Knightsbridge. When you get out the tube it is impossible not to see it :)

From Piccadilly Circus to the history.



With this marvelous weather is impossible to stay at home any minute. The sun welcome you to walk around the city and explore some haunts of London. Today I will introduce you Piccadilly circus, one of the most famous and visited plaza in London. See and stay for a minute gazing the plaza could be good but it could be so much better if you know a little bit of what is behind these beautiful buildings. So, now we are get the tube or the bus to get to the Plaza. (Piccadilly line: Piccadilly Circus). Is too easy. 





Piccadilly Circus is one of the favorite place to congregate or to meet with everybody before going anywhere. So, here is the picture I'm sure it will be the unique time you will see the plaza less crowded. The circus was created to connect Carlton House  (where Prince Regent resided) with Regent's Park. The first thing you will see are big buildings and the advs. Personally, buildings from this circus is one of my favorite sites to contemplate in London. They are gorgeous. The circus looks its best at night, when the flashing advertisement panels really shine against the dark sky. 
At the centre of the circus is the famous lead statue, the Angel of Christian Charity (best known as Anteros) dedicated to the philanthropist and child-labour abolitionist Lord Shaftersbury (one of more important man in the history of the UK). Actually it is a fountain but it doesn't throw water because of a  glitch the same day of the inauguration. While the statue is generally believed to depict Eros, it was created as an image of his twin brother, Anteros. Gilbert (the sculptor) described Anteros as portraying "reflective and mature love, as apposed to Eros or Cupid, the frivolous tyrant". 
Just east of the circus is London Trocadero, a huge and soulless indoor amusement arcade that has six levels of hi-tech, hight-cost fun for yougsters, along with cinemas, US-themed restaurants and bowling alleys. Piccadilly Circus is surrounded by several major tourist attractions, including the Shaftersbury Memorial, Criterion Theatre, London Pavilion and several major retail stores. Numerous nightclubs and bars are located in the area and neighbouring Soho, including the former Chinawhite club. 


From Piccadilly Circus we can drive ourselves to Regent Street. It is one of the major shopping streets in London's west end, well known to tourists and Londoners alike, and famour for its Christmas illuminations. Every building in Regent Street is protected as a "listed building", at least Grade II status, and togheter they form the Regent Street Conservation Area. 




The street is amazing but what I really like is the buildings, they are so majestic. In the street you can find a lot of shops as: The Apple Store, Café Royal, Hamleys (toy shop with 6 floors and it claims to be the largest and oldest shop in the world, an unforgettable experience inside for child and adults), Liberty ( The Liberty department store was originally known for its role at the retail end of the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts Movement styles). 

If you keep walking through Regent Street you will get to Oxford Circus and Oxford street, place that you already know for sure!

Saint George.

Saint George is widely known as the patron of the UK, but is a day celebrated in another countries as mine, Spain (but Catalunya). On April 23rd many lovers show their love with a red rose for her and one book for him as a symbol of Sant George (St. Jordi). In celebration of this, Borough market, one of the most known market in London, has teamed up with the Government of Catalonia for a special day to honour our shared saint, diverse cultures and traditions. 
According to myth a dragon terrified the small village Montblanc of Barcelona. The dragon ate all the animals of Montblanc and when there were no animals left, it started to eat the people of the village. The village chose each year a person to satisfy the hunger of the evil dragon. When the name of the young princess came up Saint George came rinding and killed the dragon with his sword in the last moment. This myth about Saint George can be found all over Europe (England, Georgia, Greece...until 15 european countries), but the Catalans have been drawn by the story to a higher degree than in most other place. The rose motif stems from the myth, since after Saint George killed the dragon, a rose came up where the dragon's blood was spilled. The book comes from the International Book Day: both Shakespeare and Cervantes died on April 23rd, both in 1616. 



On sunday 21st April, Borough Market trades will be showcasting the best of their produce including a special English charculerie platter from Cannon and Cannon and dragon-themed baked goods from Bread Ahead. There will also be Demostration Kitchens throughout the day focusing on english and catalan dishes. 
The exchanging of roses and books as a sign of resepct in sometihing of a Catalan custom and the UK delegation of the Government of Catalonia will perform the ritual with members of the public, while traders will hand out roses to revellers throughout the day. there will be also tradicional music and entertainment. 


You can't keep out! Join the Borough market tomorrow!

to get in: you have to cross the river to the another opposite side. The closer tube stop is: London Bridge with jubilee or northern line and walk 3 minutes.

Hyde Park

Today it has been the perfect weather in London for a long while. Forecast predicted a sunny day with 18 -20 degrees for today 2 weeks ago. I thought they had been too positive with the weather because yesterday It was rain the whole day. But the prediction was absolutely true! We have had an amazing day. When there are days like that, what you should do is going to visit and explore Hyde Park. 
The Hyde Park is one of the largest parks in central London. It is frequent to see people doing some jogging or running but most people go to enjoy a relax moment inside one of the most stressful cities in the world. There is a lake in the middle with ducks and swans. And you can feed the hundreds squirrels  there are in all the park. They are so funny, and fast! 

Is the perfect plan to spend time with your family or better with your partner, you just lie down on the grass and laugh and talk until the end. 
In summer in Hyde Park is where some performances lie, for example July 4th will be Bon Jovi.  










To get in: Tube until HydePark Corner. 



Take care :)

Springing Spring.

It is widely-known but not felt specially here in London the big start of a new season, my favorite after summer of course: Spring! 

So, if you need a reason to splash out your money in clothes, here you have: new season, new trends, new needs in your wardrobe. 

Tomorrow is a good day to go shopping because the forecast has predicted drizzling day for tomorrow (not sunday, I have a great surprise for sunday tomorrow in my new post). 

I suggest you going to the downtown, I mean Oxford and Regent St. It will be healthy to connect with another people on the street after being the whole week working or studying as me in my apartment. 








 



And here my suggestions to fill your wardrobe. Spring means fresh and hot, so let's try with new colors: this season the must is the pastel colors. And the successful color will be the soar yellow and the orange. For the first step tomorrow I want you to choose among this outfits. For me the best one is the firt one: the lemon trouser. I really like it. The fourth are from Zara, and the last from H&M.  I guess that you catch my tip about the Gym and now these trousers will fit you perfectly as a current model. 

All of them are so cheap, between 9.90 and 30 pounds. 

To match: for the day outfit, try with a loose long V-neck white sleeveless and a leather black jacket in your shoulders. And for your feed maybe Convers will make you to feel more smart-casual, or better to stylize your body could be better to wear brown boots with a little high-heel. 

At night, I suggest to mach the trousers with a short black sleeveless or better a black strapless and your lucky black high-heel shoes to rock the night. You will, for sure. 




And finally, I could not resist to attempt you buying the craving of the week: This amazing and suitable  handbag! it is from Zara and is really posh. You already have realized that "indian" trend is the new way in fashion for the next season, so let's get equipped by ourselves! 

Take care :)
