In 1976, my mom bought this amazing blue velvet fabric and decided to make a suit out of it. As she couldn’t afford a sewing machine she signed up for after school sewing classes (although she already knew how to sew) just to get access to the machines. She finished it just in time for [...]

How I just adore this stunning 70′s inspired editorial that Dustjacket Attic published a few weeks ago. It contains everything I wish for the fall. Luxurious materials, layers, hats, deep rich colors, shiny hair and oversized sunglasses. The styling is as much my taste as it gets. Vogue Russia. Love it!!! A trip to Paris. [...]

As some of you know my husband is from Spain (well Basque Country actually). We speak english at home but I’d love to improve my spanish that was once quite decent. Well that was 10 years ago, long before I knew that it would be pretty useful for me one day. I honestly think it [...]

Summer is almost leaving us and the colors are soon to change. I keep looking at these photos and they make me almost wish for fall. Warm days and cold nights, dressing in layers and floppy hats have never felt more appealing than when thinking it could look like this. Gorgeous! Editorial from Jalouse, Aug [...]

Nothing you’d wanna walk around in for sure, but I just can’t stop looking at them. She’s gorgeous! Images via [...]

I love hats. Well actually all kinds of headwear: turbans, scarves, floppy hats, fedoras, sailor caps… you name it – I have it! Yesterday I found this vintage floppy hat at Buffalo Exchange and it’s just so nice. The color is great (caramel-ish) and its just floppy enough, meaning I can still see where I’m [...]

No it’s not a souvenir from our last vacation in Los Cabos – this navy blue mexican dress with white embroideries is a vintage find from Beacon’s Closet. When I bought it last summer it was a maxi dress. It looked too much like a nightie so I re-made it into a shorter version. This [...]

It’s getting warm here now! Tonight after a great dinner with Amy, I rode my bike home in the evening just in this dress and poncho and it was still warm – I just love the summers here! It’s so much more fun to get dressed when you don’t have to worry about layers of [...]
