Saying goodbye to spring is so hard for me. I see how summer is fast approaching and my favorite season ends! I know most people get super excited for summer, I did as a kid but when I grew up something changed and I became a spring lover. Days are longer in spring, everyday is unexpected you can wake up and find heat and sun, or cold and rain or a mild cloudy day, or all of the above.
Getting dress is also so much more fun, you can layer, play with lengths in tops and bottoms, wear sandals with coats, and sweaters with shorts, the advantages are endless! Trees are filled with flowers and mosquitos are not around as much as in summer. And I could go on. Instead i’ll just say goodbye to all the pretty flowers and all of my spring basics, such as my sweatshirts, and leather jackets, and thicker jeans, and ill try to do my best shopping for summer garments, which I hardly own, but this year I set myself to buy more.
I’m wearing: Ray-Ban sunglasses, A.P.C sweatshirt, Mih Jeans halsy jeans, Superga sneakers and Louis Vuitton Sofia Coppola bag.

You know I’m a big fan of black trousers, and again i’m wearing one of my pairs. I don’t know why I find it so easy to find black trousers but I have the worst of luck with grey, tan and almost every other neutral. I need to stock up a nice khaki or tan for summer, but so far I have had no luck. Why oh why?
Sometimes I blame it on my location, sadly here in Madrid you can’t find most of my favorite brands A.P.C, Margaret Howell, Steven Alan, J Crew (which make awesome summer trousers) and buying them online is a little tricky without trying them on. That’s the thing about trousers I find it a must to buy them in person. Being able to try them on, with all the different fits you can find is the key.
With the craziest of weather this week layering is everything so I paired my trousers with a shirt under a sweatshirt, (a change from my usual shirt/sweater combos) and my gorgeous Gazelle’s thanks to Zalando.es
I’m wearing: Ray-Ban wayfarer sunglasses, Club Monaco shirt, Fruit of the Loom sweatshirt, The Kooples trousers, Adidas Gazelle sneakers and Louis Vuitton Alma bag.
Stripes again! This time paired with navy suit trousers, another good essential garment for in between seasons. I don’t wear my navy ones as much as the black ones, but still they are a core item in my wardrobe. This particular pair is lightweight so it’s not very appropriate for winter, therefore I have another pair more suited for cold months WORN HERE.
The trick with suit trousers is to find a good fit for your body otherwise it can be super uncomfortable and end up looking disastrous. Now a days, the variety you can find is amazing, they are made cropped, long, skinny, straight, flared, etc. That and the colors you can find can go from the classic black or navy to loud neons and wild prints (this last two cases horrify me, but it’s good to know there is a good selection for all tastes).
The pair i’m wearing today was gifted, so I did not choose them, but luckily for me they were a good fit for me. I am planning to purchase a grey pair for fall so in case you are looking for some interesting ones as I am, I will leave you my suggestions:
– J Crew has great affordable trousers SHOP HERE
– Stella McCartney has a great variety at a higher price range SHOP HERE
– Saint Laurent is all classic pieces SHOP HERE
I’m wearing: Ray-Ban classic wayfarer, A.P.C striped top, The Kooples trousers, Chanel flats and Louis Vuitton Sofia Coppola bag.
