"EVERYBODY NEEDS A PLACE TO THINK"

Good afternoon everyone!

I hope you've been doing great, I've been pretty busy myself but I won't complaint at all, so far 2015 it´s been amazing! ^^ Today I finally found the time to prepare a new post, with some pictures that the amazing Oihane Molinero took few weeks ago (before London was hit by this amazing warm weather!). Once more I would like to thank her for taking the time to participate in this little project. 

The pictures where taken on a lovely Monday afternoon like today, after we had shared a cupcake and some gossips. We were walking by the river side when we found this lovely wooden bench to sit on and it gave us the idea to use something very quotidian as a background. The outfit it's more formal than what you are used to see me wearing but I think the coat it's so cool that brings a more "laid back" side to the result. The hairstyle is a very easy going bun. The skirt and the heels (that I'm in loooove with and are so comfortable that you almost can't believe it!) are from Zara and bring sophisticated pinch to the outfit.  

"Everybody needs a place to think", true enough, and if you also have a good friend and a comfy coat you can sit there think and enjoy the view of the river Thames for hours! I hope you liked it (:

Kisses,

Clara

LONDON JEWLERY DESIGNERS

Hello gorgeous!

Let's talk about jewelry. Well, let me start again, let's talk about jewelry designers! I would like to dedicate this post to all the young designers, brilliant and talented, whom are fighting and trying to find their place in this overcrowded industry that is fashion ( after all we are all in the same boat, isn't it?). Today's post is meant to inspire and delight us. I've been doing some research and I collected images of some creations of jewelry designers based in London. You won't find diamonds or lots of gold (I'm not a fan of either of them) but the creativity, passion and artistic sense are guaranteed! I think some of this pieces are amazing and I would totally use them in any of my fashion editorials.

Which is you favourite?

Kisses!

CHECKED CASUAL

 Good evening sunshines!

I'm actually writing this post laying in my bed because I'm sick :( But on the bright side I finally found time to update my blog! Today's outfit is an urban style, very casual. This kind of outfits are always brilliant because it doesn't matter if you have a job interview, a meeting or just another evening in the pub with some friends: you can wear them and look smart, trendy and most important... natural! I'll never get tired of mentioning that last point because I'm sick and tired of seeing fashion bloggers and "it" girls showing us (the mortal kind) stunning looks with not even a pinch of pragmatic sense. Life is made of instants, yeah (we all like the pictures were we look beautiful and cool), but a day has 24 hours and I rather prefer spending them being who I actually am.

This post is the perfect example. As you may have noticed the pictures were taken with a phone, my gorgeous (and single ;) ) friend Giorgio and I were spending the day together around Dalston and found this amazing spot. I truly love street art, in my opinion when the painter is talented graffiti is one more piece of art and I adore them.

My outfit, as I said, was very simple: high waist black jeans, checked super comfy sweater (with zippers on the sides which I soooo love), flat black boots and crossbody black bag. Oh! And of course my cat eye glasses that definitely make the whole look more interesting (:

I hope you like it!

RED & DOTS

Hey ya!

How are you doing guys? I bring you a new outfit that I'm sure you'll love, once more my lovely Oihane was behind the camera. We met in central London, to be more specific in Southbank because we were heading to the BFI and once more London gave us an amazing location. We pass by that vibrating wooden wall immediately stop to shoot there. The red seemed the perfect match with my b&w outfit where I was combining dots on the shorts and blazer with a baroque pattern in the sweater. I was feeling like an authentic londoner with that outfit and 100% me! I'm so in love with that shoes that I bought on Asos, comfy and cute perfect to walk around and so is the backpack. Two perfect complements full of personality and again... comfortable! I hope you like the result.

Kiss-kiss!

URBAN OPULENCE

Hello cuties!

Today I bring you a fashion editorial were I collaborated as a fashion stylist assistant few months ago in London. It was a hard work , doing this job it's not always easy specially when you are running up and down all around this huge city picking up all the clothes and accessories. Plus it had a lot of handcraft work for the preparation. But at the end, all the efforts have been worth when you see the result. Rossella Vanon is a skilled and amazing fashion photographer. The job she did in this editorial blow my mind away!

The pictures were published in PAUSE Magazine, being one of them the cover of the issue.

I hope you like it! Here the link of the publication, enjoy what's left of this lovely sunday! (;

Nighty  night!
