Today i’m in an all black outfit again! But quite opposite to last week’s. Today is all about casualness and comfort and relaxed vibes. Yesterday I was watching the first episode of Downton Abbey, a series I have wanted to watch for ages, but caught in between The Killing, Girls, Looking and Breaking Bad, I had not time for a fifth one. Finally I finished three out of those four and decided to start a new one. I was not expecting to find such great quotes and one instantly got my attention: “No one wants to kiss a girl in black”. Right away I was reminded about Coco Chanel, specially because the series is happening in the same era, and all I could think of is how Chanel would have said exactly the opposite. Then I went even further and just thought about how many times we sober girls, and I bet some of you my lovely readers have heard this more than once, get the “boring” adjective in reference to our outfits. To me all black outfits, and in general soberness is underrated of course, always will be, but it also is everything but boring! The fun factor does not lie on colors, it lies on so much more elements such as fabrics, cuts, details. I do understand though that only people with a sharp eye can see it, and that is the minority all along. So therefore probably the “Kardashians” of the world (sorry I could not think of anything tackier at the moment) will probably always be more appealing to the masses than the “Cocos”.
I’m wearing: Ray-Ban wayfarer sunglasses, Acne Studios t-shirt, The Kooples skirt, Adidas Gazelle sneakers via Zalando.es and Chanel bag. 
Today i’m wearing my Birkenstocks again, I seriously cant stop wearing them, i’m officially addicted! I never thought I would love them so so much, but I do. I love how they can “break” a somewhat feminine outfit and make it a little less obvious (I don’t know if I make any sense by saying this) it’s sort of the same effect running sneakers worn with skirts tend to have.
I have been wearing them with absolutely everything lately so you will definitely see them non stop in all my summer outfits.
I’m wearing: Ray-Ban wayfarer sunglasses SHOP THEM HERE, J Crew striped shirt SHOP IT HERE, Topshop jeans, Birkenstock Arizona sandals GET THEM HERE and Chanel bag.
I have received lately some emails asking me what to wear for X or Y event. Well what I am wearing today is what I would suggest any women (no matter the age, hair color or figure) to wear for a semi-formal/special event.
As you know i’m a big fan of the LBD (little black dress), and even if this one is not so little, more of a mid-length I am still a big fan in general of black dresses. Investing in black dresses is always smarter over any other color, because they are:
1.- less noticed
2.- more versatile
3.- elegant above most colors
4.- classic pieces that will last forever (with a few exceptions of course).
Now if you don’t have the biggest budget to splurge thats ok because there are affordable options out there, one of which is this actual dress i’m wearing. It’s probably one of the less expensive garments I own but it also probably is one with the highest potential. So please don’t ever think you need loads of money to dress good, you just need to shop smart, that is the only secret, really.
I won’t even start about how many ways you can wear it, but when I have a few outfits posted with this same dress I will make a review of how to wear a black dress so you can get some ideas.
I’m wearing: Ray-Ban wayfarer sunglasses, Gap dress, Robert Clergerie heels and Chanel bag.
I’m loving this cloudy days, we’ve been having! Not really cold, and not hot at all. Perfect weather to wear my plaid skirt. I usually wear it on winter with tights, and due to it’s thick material it’s really not ideal for warmer days. But since the weather is so neutral it’s been great for basically anything.
I’m wearing: Ray-Ban classic wayfarer sunglasses, The Kooples jumper, Isabel Marant Etoile skirt, Chanel flats and bag.
