Looking for ideas for spring looks?

It happens to me.
Spring is coming and we have to decide what to wear.
Is it  going to be something similar to what  you wore last spring 2012?
Are you trying anything new? Any new trends?

CASUAL: A walk on the beach

Black and white striped  T-shirt combined with denim shirt or denim jacket and black skinny jeans.
I will not overdo the stripes, only one ítem at a tine and my favourite stripes are the vertical ones because they make you look slimmer.


 CASUAL: Coffee with friends

Printed trousers, black, grey and white combined with black tee and black jacket, all the accesories in black except the handbag.
 
 
CASUAL: Going to the cinema
 
White dress and beige trench, ankle boots and XL handbag.
 

CASUAL: commuter plus working girl
 
Camo trench and navajo print sweater combined with short lace mini-skirt

Shopping spree or enjoying the sales


 BLACK SKINNY JEANS

I did it. I bought my first skinny jeans yesterday. 
The price was 29.95, with a discount of ten euros,
so I paid 19.95 euros because we are still on sales in Madrid.
I´ve always thought skinny jeans were not for me,
not for my size or body shape,
 but when I tried them they fitted me perfectly.
Incredible.
 I bougt them high-rise "talle alto" so they cover my stomach
and in black colour with very subtle stioed texture in the fabric.
They were in H&M just waiting for me.




LOOK 1: pairing them  with high heels and  Promod White tunic  with tiger

and vértigo high heels

LOOK 2: pairing them  with a Promod camo trench and  a Mango animal print scarf



DENIM JACKET
I also bought a denim jacket, size 46 in H&M, 34, 95 euros,
 not a reduced price because it belonged to the spring-summer collection.
 I just remembered having owned a similar jacket when I was trying it,
 but it was a Levi one, size 42, when I was about 12 kilos slimmer.



I would not have bought anything if I hadn´t met the perfect encouraging
shop assistant. She advised me  to try the jeans and jacket and
looked for a longer denim jacket  for me.
 She told age was a silly excuse used by self conscious people who fear style, so...
piqué, piqué...

If you are looking for a bigger jacket in H&M, go to Logg, its jackets have sleeves that  are
wider and the jacket  is a bit long (five centimetres)  than the regular cropped ones.


LOOK 1: pairing it  with  a light green sweater



PAIRING 2: pairing it with a  tartan print  shirt and ankle boots or peep toes


for example,

and layering tank top, shirt and denim jacket, I think.

A Valentine´s Conversation


Operación bikini

Ayer me apunté a un gimnasio, trimestre y medio mes por 204 euros.
He decidido que tengo que actuar y necesito ayuda. 
Después de una temporada en que la rutina de andar tampoco
 se cumplía he decidido hacer nuevos ajustes.
Cada día tengo que conseguir sudar más y moverme más.
Hoy he visitado a una amiga y me he dado un buen paseo
de media hora.
Ahora estoy sentada porque he hecho una parada en mis
correcciones de exámenes pero tenía que poner en mi blog
que voy a Basic Gym y que ya no soy la misma
de hace una semana.
Me voy a estirar y vuelta a la tarea.

Vuelvo a recuperar el recuerdo corporal e interno
de lo bien que te sientes cuando te mueves.
Todos mis recuerdos de haber hecho ejercicio
 y disfrutado vuelven a mí.
Estoy cambiando y me gusta.
Me sentí bien haciendo algo de ejercicio
e incluso sentí que tenía más energía.
Es difícil de explicar pero es como si
mis músculos me lo agradecieran.
