Summer 2014: Outfit 8

Gap Black dress Longchamp Le Pliagepanama hat Fashion blogger TriniPanama Hat Birkenstock Arizona sandals

Another almost complete black outfit. What can I say? I love black, and even more wearing it in summer, when most people turn to bright colors and wild prints, I love keeping it dark with navy or black. Of course I also love to keep it comfortable and my Arizona sandals are the best at that!

I know there many haters of these babies and honestly I understand, they are not pretty nor feminine nor masculine…they are somehow a strange undefined type of shoe mostly associated with german tourists, but personally I feel the need to look beyond that and focus on its two biggest assets. One: comfort and two: the unexpected effect they give almost any outfit, they toughen it up a bit, I would even dare to say they spark an outfit making it look fun, without looking flashy and out there. Me, I have a feeling this sandals will go beyond a trend and become a classic, they are already a forgotten classic, they never really disappeared, so it’s not hard to visualize them staying permanently as a comfortable option for summer.

I’m wearing: Ray-Ban wayfarer sunglasses (get them Here), Gap dress, Birkenstock sandals (get them Here) , Longchamp Le Pliage bag (get it Here) and J Crew panama hat (get it Here).

SUMMER READS

Today I’m delighted to diverge a little bit from fashion and get into a topic than I enjoy so so much and probably never shared over here. Books.

My love for books started at the very early age of four when I learnt how to read. Yes, I was a very precocious girl, always with hunger for adventures and books were my first journey. All through my childhood, specially during the summer me and my sister would beg my parents to buy us books so we could devour them at night before going to sleep and then exchange them, then ask for more and more and more. The rest of the year I would read what was scheduled for me to read at school, some books I enjoyed greatly others not so much…but the sole act of reading meant to travel to a new world and that has always been one of my drives in life.

So each summer as I did as a kid I get my books ready to come with me wherever I might go. I want to share with you some of my favorites and would love for you to do the same, that way we can exchange titles and hopefully I can get to know some new titles/authors which I am also eager to do.

Lately I have become more of a non fiction reader so many of my titles will come from that category, but of course not all, some fiction is always good.

-The House of The Spirits by Isabel Allende

-Quiet by Susan Cain

-Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote

-The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides

-The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides

-Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert

-All Those Things We Never Said by Marc Levy

-The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

-What Remains by Carole Radziwill (currently reading and loving this one)

– Just Kids by Patti Smith

-Be My Baby by Ronnie Spector

There you go, ten…no eleven awesome books. Let me know which ones are your favorites!

Summer 2014: Outfit 7

A classic summer look for me: striped top and shorts with sneakers. I think this is the first time I post an outfit with this striped top in beige, it’s a great alternative to the always classic but sometimes too repetitive navy stripes. They are just as austere and versatile. To finish the outfit my summer bag, my Longchamp Le Pliage.

I’m wearing: Ray-Ban classic wayfarer sunglasses (get them HERE), A.P.C top and shorts, Superga sneakers (get them HERE) and Longchamp Le Pliage bag (get it HERE).
