When you feel like floating...

Hay un montón de sitios preciosos a las afueras de Madrid. Los que mas me gustan son El Escorial, La Granja y Aranjuez. Los dos últimos es por mi obsesión con los palacios barrocos. El de Aranjuez es más grande que el de la Granja...una especie de mini-Versalles :)
Me entusiasman los palacios de esa época (los jardines en tridente, las ventanas rectangulares, los adornos, los espejos, la decoración...), uno de los sitios que tengo pendiente ver es precisamente Versalles. De momento me encanta pasearme las mañanas de domingo por los alrededores de los palacios que tengo a menos de una hora de casa y ya de paso pasamos la mañana en familia :)

There are plenty of beautiful places on the nearbythe city. The ones that I like the most are El Escorial, La Granja and Aranjuez. The last two ones because of my baroque palaces obsession. The Aranjuez palace is larger than La Granja one ...like a mini-Versailles :)
I am excited about the palaces of that time (trident gardens, rectangular windows, ornaments, mirrors, decoration ...), one of the sites that I have to see before I die is Versailles. For the moment I walk around on Sunday mornings by the palaces that I have less than an hour from home and I spent the morning there with my family :)

During the month of January and I didn't notice when was weekend or not, I was on vacation (the only difference was my parents having breakfast at home or not ...) now I've started my lessons I enjoy Saturday and Sunday the best I could. Housework mornings, family dinner, movie and nap, some gym and going out at night for some drinks :)

There is a webpage that I love to visit. You know I like Lauren Conrad and she has opened with a blog with some friends, The Beauty Department, with many ideas about hairstyles, beauty tips, advice,ideas ... I usually found boring this kind of blogs but this one not, maybe it it is the format or design, but I really like. The other day my sister found this ponytale and we were practicing. It's easier than it seems.

Este en el que estuve ayer me gustó mucho :), RAMSES, está en la plaza de la Independencia y ayer la tarde estaba dedicada a Moisés Nieto, ganador de la última edición de El Ego. Si...me gustó porque desconectas un poco de la rutina.

I had heard about the after work concept, but actually I've never thought about it. Yesterday I could experience it with some friends. Cocktails, dj, a very studied decor... there are some places in Madrid where people go out for drinks after work. I'm still studying but I have friends working so I had heard of these places. The first thing I asked myself was, 'Will I go to these places when I have a job for a drink after the journey? Will I go with the office mates or with some friends?.

Lo que me encanta de estas fotos es la luz de cada una. No se si será porque estudio lo que estudio...yo creo que no, me viene de antes...pero soy una maniática de las luces. (Que se lo digan a mi prima Elena) No se por que para mi es muy importante estar en una habitación con una luz determinada. No me suelen gustar las lámparas altas de techo que dan mucha luz, prefiero luces bajas, penumbras, o luz indirecta...no se. Estas fotos tienen algo de eso, me gusta la luz que tienen.

What I love about these pictures is the light they show. I don't know if it because I study what I study ... I think it is not the reason because that obssesion was always with me... I am a freak of lights. (my cousin Elena knows that so well) for me is very important to be in a room with othe proper light. I tend to dislike high lights, I prefer a lower lighting, shadows, or indirect light ...  These photos have some of that, I like the light they have.

Yesterday I was invited to the birthday party that a friend made at home. She prepared it with all kind of details. She has a sort of enclosed terrace where there was cold and she was decorated as a Nordic space with candles, flowers and a table full of snacks. Each dish was carefully thought out and prepared, it was great. Then we went into a huge and beautiful  diningroom: cava chicken, spinach and nuts salad, red wine, chocolate mousse ... I realised I had my new mobile application that makes retro snapshots with all kinds of effects.

Happy Birthday Lore!

Complementos con un look prácticamente total black para salir de noche por Madrid

Tenia ganas de los zapatos verdes. Son los típicos que hay días que me apetece tanto ponérmelos que ideo la ropa en función de ellos. Ayer era uno de esos días. 

My breakfast yesterday

Ayer decidí tomarme el día de vacaciones (un día es un día)y mi hermano me llevo a desayunar fuera :). Me encanta, típico día de trabajo, no hay casi gente por la calle, hacia sol...me llevó al starbucks y nos pusimos al día. No hay cosa que mas me guste que los desayunos. Los fines de semana es la comida mas importante con mi familia, podemos estar horas hablando mientras desayunamos. Con días como hoy evito las caras de pepino que se me ponen en clase de vez en cuando, como la de abajo, que es de un día que me pillaron en estado de "quiero irme de aquí!"

If I loved the orange bag, now I'm in love with the white jacket. I've always loved pale colors in winter, black and white is one of my favorite combinations, even if It's a classic. Also, If I wear a touch of color with that, like this time with the orange bag I feel like the happiest girl in the world. I think this jacket is amazing because depending on how you put it on it changes, hidding more or less the skin within. I think it looks great.

Se que soy una privilegiada. Todos los años nos dan un mes de vacaciones sin exámenes en Enero para desconectar y la verdad es que sabemos aprovecharlo. Este año ha sido de momento el mejor de todos.

¿Sabéis esa sensación de llevar una temporada en la que solo te salen las cosas bien? No solo que pasan cosas importante y de decir "Imposible tener tanta suerte!" (Como cuando hablé con Olivia Palermo o como cuando alguien que no esperabas te sorprende, o como el viaje tan increíble a esquiar con mis amigos...). También pequeñas cosas...

I know I am privileged. Every year on our winter break we have a month off without exams in January to disconnect and yes, we know how to use it. This year was the best of all.

The other day I recived this one , an online store that sells special occasion dresses. I like it because it is a basic but with something different. This dress has an amazing back with crossed straps, that is incredible. This is what I like the most, the back, and it also is very short and very steamy.

Como os dije me probé toda la nueva colección. Estuve toda la mañana en MANGO con Paula @chicraf montando estilismos y combinando prendas y accesorios. La verdad es que es una colección que me encanta, sobretodo las prendas como el mono azul o la falda verde. Para primavera y verano me parecen preciosas, además son unos colores que me gusta usar. El verdes, azulones y naranjas. Prendas vaporosas con plataformas o complementos de ante. También optamos por algún look mas lady o mas rockero. La verdad es que fue una mañana muy divertida. Me encanta haber tenido esta oportunidad.


As I said I could try on all the new MNG SS collection. I spent the whole morning in MANGO with Paula creating outfits and matching clothes and accessories. The truth is that it is a collection that I love, especially the clothes like the one-piece blue jumpsuit or the green skirt. For spring and summer that seem so beautiful to me, those are also the colors that I like to wear. The green, blues and orange tones. Diaphanous garments with platforms and buckskin complements. Also we opted for a more lady look and a rocker one. The truth is that it was a really fun morning. I love having this opportunity.
