FASHION | TOP 5 fashion trends 2018 that you have to try this spring and how to wear them!

You may love them or hate them but "ugly shoes" are here to stay. I personally love them, anything with a chunky heel that prevents me from wearing heels, I'm in. They are not an easy shoe but I love how it balances a more fancy outfit, that would be a suit or a flowy dress, making it look more casual and streetwear. I love playing with these juxtapositions! If you were thinking about getting the original version by Balenciaga, it's too late because they are completely sold out in their website! But here are I show you some options which are pocket-friendly too:









What would be of spring without pastels? The sweetest colors of the palette are back once more this season but this time, in a more colorful way. You've got to wear them all together! or if you prefer, wear just one shade, it would be as fashionable ;)





Plastic, probably not the best trend for summer but very convenient for the April and May showers. Chanel even made clear plastic boots for the Spring RTW collection, but a more streetwear option is wearing plastic as a raincoat or in accessories, like handbags or hats. If you are wearing a clear raincoat, wear a printed dress underneath like Aimee Song did! Have a clear plastic bag? use it as a handbag! I'm serious. Céline is selling clear plastic bags with their name on it. You can make your own version too... ;) 







I was thinking... are suits on trend because of the series? I don't know, but hey, that would be cool! However, these suits are different from the ones in the series, less corporative and easier to wear on your everyday. Since pastels are in, why don't you try a pastel suit? and also with the dad sneakers! That's definitely the look of the season. So cool and badass. If you try it, send me a pic!


The trench coat never goes out of style so what's different this time that it has become a trend now? well, anything that is inspired by this timeless piece, that can be a skirt, a dress... is in this season, but not only in a camel shade, you can find it in every color and print! It's a must in your wardrobe for the Spring months when it's not too hot but not too cold either so I would invest in a good one.

Fashion is such a complex industry that it can't be represented only by its most superficial layer. On the one hand, fashion is part of the consumer and capitalist culture that influences people to achieve happiness by a never-ending consumption of goods. But on the other, fashion conveys much more than just covering your body with clothes, fashion is in fact, a visual language without words.

There’s a proverb that goes “a picture is worth a thousand words” and I say “clothes are worth a thousand words”. It’s incredible the amount of meaning that a piece of clothing can have. For instance, pants marked a clear class difference during the French Revolution. The privileged classes wore culottes, whereas the working class aka the “sans-culottes” wore longer trousers. Pants also became a symbol of masculinity totally forbidden to women, and instead, they had to wear heavy dresses that deprived their liberty of movement. However, some women defied this absurd law so they dressed as men to gain power and be at their same level. It kind of reminds me of Mulan and how she used the power of fashion to dress up in masculine clothes to impersonate a man and become a warrior. Pants were the vehicle that women used to claim their power in society and defend their rights.

Another example is the beret, used by peasants to protect themselves from the rain due to the waterproof quality of the felt. Later, the beret was also adopted by the military and used colors as an easy identification to represent the sides they were fighting for. At the beginning of the 20th century, they were a fashion staple and in the 50s and 60s mainly worn by the bohemian elite. It also became a symbol of revolution and protest worn by The Black Panthers and other social activists seeking freedom. In short, fashion pieces like the beret and the pants were turned into tools for empowerment.

Just recently, the movement “Time’s Up” used the power of fashion to make a statement in the Golden Globes. The movement gives voice to millions of women who were and are constantly harassed and assaulted not only in the workplace but everywhere they go. All started with the brave testimonies of women working in the film industry who suffered sexual abuse. They spoke up about the inequalities and sexual harassment they received in this candy-coated industry. In order to support this cause, actresses wore a black dress to the award ceremony provoking a social movement around the world.

The fight doesn’t end up here. The fashion industry itself has contributed to different causes these past years. Chanel released a collection inspired by street protests and at the end of the show, all the models appeared carrying different signs as if they belonged to an actual demonstration. Last year, Dior sold the famous “We should all be feminists” T-shirt and this year’s fall collection is inspired by the Paris student protests from 1968. Balenciaga also presented this year his bet for the fall, including hoodies and T-shirts supporting the World Food Program. Even though they stated that the benefits will be donated to the organization, it still sounds contradictory when a fashion brand profits from these movements by creating a good image, it doesn’t sound very trustworthy.

However, I believe it’s a good idea that brands start this conversation with their consumers and spread good values even if they are not being totally honest with their intentions and profit from that good image. At the end of the day, you are the only one who is capable of making a change in the world and decide what is the best way to make it.

La moda como arma reivindicativa

La moda es una industria tan compleja que no podemos definirla solo por su parte más superficial. Es cierto que, por una parte, la moda pertenece a la cultura consumista y capitalista que influencia a la gente a conseguir siempre un estado felicidad por medio del continuo consumo de bienes. Pero, por otra, la moda significa mucho más que cubrir tu cuerpo con ropa, la moda de hecho, es un lenguaje visual sin palabras.

Hay un proverbio que dice “una imagen vale más que mil palabras” y yo digo “la ropa vale más que mil palabras”. Es increíble todo el significado que una prenda de ropa puede llegar a tener. Por ejemplo, los pantalones durante la Revolución Francesa marcaron una clara distinción entre las clases privilegiadas que llevaban “culottes” y la clase trabajadora, los “sans culottes” que llevaban pantalones mas largos. Los pantalones también se convirtieron en un símbolo de masculinidad totalmente prohibido para las mujeres que solo podían llevar vestidos muy pesados que les privaban de todo movimiento. Sin embargo, algunas mujeres desafiaron esta absurda ley y decidieron vestirse como un hombre para adquirir poder y situarse en su mismo nivel. Me recuerda un poco a la historia de Mulán y como utilizó el poder de la moda para llevar ropa masculina y así hacerse pasar por un hombre para entrar en el ejército. Los pantalones fueron un vehículo que las mujeres utilizaron para reclamar su poder en la sociedad y defender sus derechos.

Otro ejemplo es la boina, usada por los campesinos para protegerse de la lluvia debido a la gran impermeabilidad de la felpa. Mas tarde, la boina fue adoptada por el ejército y usaban los colores de forma identificativa para representar el bando al que pertenecían. A principios del siglo XX, se convirtieron en la prenda de moda y en los años 50 y 60 llevado principalmente por la elite más bohemia pero también se declaró como símbolo de revolución y protesta utilizado por Las Panteras Negras y otros movimientos reivindicativos que buscaban la libertad. En definitiva, prendas de moda como la boina o los pantalones se convirtieron en armas de empoderamiento.

Hace muy poco, el movimiento “Time's Up” utilizó el poder de la moda para hacer toda una declaración de intenciones en los Globos de Oro. El movimiento da voz a millones de mujeres que fueron y están siendo víctimas de acoso sexual no solo en el trabajo, pero también en otros ámbitos. Todo empezó con los valientes testimonios de mujeres trabajando en la industria del cine que sufrían acosos sexuales continuos. Hablaron sobre las desigualdades y el acoso que reciben continuamente en esta industria tan edulcorada. Para apoyar la causa, las actrices llevaron un vestido negro a la ceremonia provocando un movimiento social por todo el mundo.

La lucha no termina aquí. La mismísima industria de la moda ha contribuido a diferentes causas estos últimos años. Chanel diseño una colección inspirada por las manifestaciones y al final del desfile, todas las modelos aparecieron con pancartas como si hubieran salido de una manifestación. El año pasado, Dior lanzó la famosa camiseta “We should all be feminists” (Todos deberíamos ser feministas) y este año ha presentado la colección de otoño inspirada en las protestas estudiantiles de Paris de 1968. Balenciaga también ha presentado este año su apuesta para la colección de otoño apoyando el Programa Mundial de Alimentos. Ya anunciaron que los beneficios serán donados a la organización. Aun así, suena contradictorio cuando una marca de ropa se beneficia de estos movimientos y así proyectar una buena imagen, no resulta muy fiable.

Sin embargo, pienso que es una buena idea que las marcas empiecen esta conversación con sus consumidores y fomenten los buenos valores incluso cuando no están siendo totalmente honestos con sus intenciones. Al final del día, tu eres el único que tiene la capacidad de cambiar el mundo y decidir cuál es la mejor forma de hacerlo.  



So it happened. I attended my very first fashion week!!! It's been a couple of weeks from it and I'm still a bit shocked by this experience. I went to Madrid on the 29th to see the collections from young designers at Samsung EGO. I love the talent and enthusiasm of these young designers because their work tends to be more unique and innovative in general.

The first show was ZER and behind it are two young designers who won the prize in the innovation category. Their work looks at the future both in the creation process and its appearance. The garments are created by 3D printers and cutting laser, techniques that big companies will implement in a few years! On the runway, we saw a lot of volumes and a streetwear look characterized by a minimalistic color palette, hoodies and mesh.


After coming back from the future, we saw Antonio Sicilia's work. His collection was inspired by the Stendhal syndrome, that is, the effects that some works of art produce on some people like a racing heartbeat and vertigo. Each look is very different from each other and he also played with the polka dots, a clear influence from Yayoi Kusama and the Spanish culture.


Then we moved to Cherry Massia, more focused on the streetwear and sportswear in the trap culture. Sportswear but in a luxe fashion represented by the satin and metallic fabrics and also in line with the boxing attire. Trap culture belongs to our millennial roots, and this collection couldn't represent more the millennial aesthetics with sayings on the clothes like "eternal fight" and "life is absurd".


Úrde Studio was next. Inspired by architecture and more exactly, windows, this collection caught my attention for using big volumes and structures in each garment. These structured volumes on skirts and dresses gave the idea of a group of windows and the pleats and draping of the skirts resembled window curtains. The color palette is very natural, going from primary colors like red, blue and yellow, to black, white and grey. All click together in this image of light and modern that windows represent.

The last show I saw was Paloma Suarez. A message like those you hear at airports opened the show and set the scene. The collection was naturally inspired by traveling and models walked down the runaway with suitcases, all wearing fun and colorful dresses. The colors and big volumes resembled a rumbero costume, maybe traveling to a tropical place? Materials like vinyl, satin and plastic gave a glossy and gleaming effect, very carnivalesque.



I decided to put a video together with all the footage I took at fashion week, attempting to become a youtuber once again 😂

Who said that a suit had to be boring? Jean Paul Gaultier reinvented the suit and created new ways to wear this timeless two-piece. It all depends on how you wear it! From wrapping the jacket and making it a top to adding a belt to an oversize jacket and making it a dress. As you can see the options are endless! And if you feel adventurous and know how to sew you can always add a layer of a satin fabric on top of the lapels creating a fun color block or cut one sleeve and make a statement ;)

We can't deny the importance of fashion in films, Fashion is a language that communicates a character's personality and contributes to the overall mood of the film. You can even analyze a film through the different costumes and the meaning they create in the storyline. It's something that can go unnoticed but it conveys a lot. 
Behind a movie's wardrobe, there's an incredible styling team and we can't forget about the designers' work. Now, it's unusual to associate a dress seen in a film to a specific designer. Of course, there will be times that the clothes will reveal us the designer, like in Sex & The City, where you can instantly identify a designer in Carrie's or any other character's wardrobe. This is mainly because Sex & The City is a film in which fashion has a key role. However, I think that in Old Hollywood films is easier to identify designers. The main reason is that back then, there were fewer important designers and with important I mean that they were known for creating an identifying style and creating newer definitions of the woman of the time. 
Cristóbal Balenciaga was one of those designers that collaborated in cinema. His designs can be seen in many old Spanish films (he was actually from Spain!) and also in Old Hollywood ones. Ingrid Bergman, Marlene Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn among others, wore his designs in and outside the films. 
Balenciaga's style was very different from Dior's "New Look". He also focused on the woman's femininity but preferred to create big volumes instead of emphasizing the hourglass figure like Dior did. He did all this respecting the elegance of a woman, as Diana Vreeland said "Balenciaga believed in the grace and dignity of women, making each one in an extraordinary and unique being".

Ladies and gents, I introduce you to my alter ego. It was fun to do a shoot like this with the wig and the sequin dress. I felt like a secret agent on a mission who just went to a fancy gala and now is going to a funfair, ready for adventures and kick some ass. Talking about a fancy gala... this month is going to be filled with parties so I think this look could also be appropriate to attend those special events —wig and glasses are optional unless you also want to go for the secret agent look ;)

First entry in a very long time! It's no news that music and fashion are always hand in hand, so I thought that I could talk about musicians that make a statement not only with their music but also with their fashion and for this reason, I decided to start with Børns. 

He has been in the music scene for over 5 years, but it wasn't until his album Dopamine in 2015 that he gained the recognition he deserves. The electro-pop music infused with upbeat rhythms works perfectly with his distinctive falsetto voice playing with the gender ambiguity of his voice and style. The music videos are a representation of his fashion choices. His videos and personal style contain this 70s vibe that has been around for a while. You can see in Faded Heart as well as in American Money the influence of the Gucci aesthetics. The American singer and the Italian brand, have collaborated together and made it Børns' hallmark.

According to WSGN, Sportcore has become the new trend that has emerged from the combination of two major trends from the last year: normcore and athleisure.
In the search for simplicity and going back to the 90s, normcore is characterised by the "IDGAF-what-I'm-wearing" look. It breaks up with all the fashion eccentricities that we are used to see during fashion week. The basic white tee and sweathsirt combined with an old pair of Levi's and white Nikes is key to look like a character from Seinfeld. This was all you needed to avoid looking cool, but necessary if you wanted to be part of the cool kid gang.
On the other hand, athleisure, is all about your gym clothes but fancier. Looking sporty on an everyday basis with a nice pair of leggings and combining it with your favorite sports bra or sports tee and of course a beautiful pair sneakers. You want to achieve a comfortable gym look but in a streetwear version.
These two trends meet in the "comfortability" category. Both looks are meant to have a relaxed feeling so it's easy to bring together both trends creating the new one called sportcore.

Sportcore dreams about the retro sportwear from the 90s: colorful tracksuits from Adidas or a Champions sweatshirt. Big logos are also common in the sportcore trend especially when combined with vintage Levi's, they create the perfect combination of normcore and athleisure. The trend originates in Korea where many brands like ADER Error embrace the sportcore aesthetic and it has become popular among teenagers. But also the brand Vetements has incorporated that look in his recent collections. Celebrities like Rihanna and Gigi Hadid have been seen sporting this trend but also fashion youtuber Karen Yeung𑁋 with a diverse and originalstyle𑁋 embodies this trend perfectly. 

KEY
  • Old school sportwear
  • Gender neutral - unisex
  • Chromatic colors: red, yellow,  blue 
  • Brands: Ader Error, Cres E. Dim, More Than Dope, 13 Month, Vetements, Nohant, Off-White, The Ragged Priest, Wood Wood, SJYP.
  • Celebrities: Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Justin Bieber

Según WSGN, sportcore se ha convertido en la nueva moda surgida de la combinación de las dos grandes tendencias del último año: normcore y atheleisure. 
En la búsqueda de la simplicidad y el retorno a los años 90, normcore se caracteriza por el look "IDGAF-lo que lleve puesto" (me importa una mierda lo que lleve puesto). Rompe con todas las excentricidades que solemos ver durante la semana de la moda. La camiseta blanca básica y una sudadera combinada con unos pantalones viejos de Levi's y unas Nike blancas es el look clave para parecerte a un personaje de Seinfeld. Todo esto es lo que necesitas para evitar seguir las tendencias pero necesario si quieres formar parte del grupo de los chicos guays. 
Por otra parte, atheleisure, lleva la ropa de deporte a una versión mas chic. Ir con un estilo deportivo llevando unos leggings de diseño y combinándolo con tu top o sujetador de deporte favorito, y por supuesto unas deportivas monas. Trata en conseguir un look de sport que te pondrías para ir al gimnasio pero en versión streetwear. 
Estas tendencias coinciden en que se encuentran en la categoría de "comodidad". Ambos looks tienen un aire relajado por lo que es sencillo conseguir un termino medio de ambas tendencias que lleva a la creación del sportcore.

El sportcore se inspira en la ropa deportiva de los años 90: los chandals de colores de Adidas o la sudadera de Champions. Los grandes logos también son muy frecuentes en la moda del sportcore sobre todo cuando los combinas con unos pantalones Levi's vintage, crean la perfecta combinación de normcore y athleisure. La tendencia proviene de Corea donde muchas marcas como ADER Error adoptan la estética sportcore la cual se ha convertido en la favorita de muchos adolescentes. Pero también hay que mencionar la firma Vetements que ha incorporado este look en muchas de sus colecciones mas recientes. No es solo una moda que surge en las calles, si no que también celebridades como Rihanna o Gigi Hadid se han atrevido a llevar esta tendencia o incluso la Youtuber Karen Yeung con su estilo tan original y variado que representa esta tendencia a la perfección.

Today I'm going to talk about my beauty routine but first, let's take a look to my skin condition a few years ago... it wasn't good. My skin was red with breakouts and pimples, especially on my cheeks but it was not extremely oily nor extremely dry but it was dehydrated. I was always suggested to try some acne cream that was going to work magically on my skin but I didn't see huge differences. They would disappear and appear again a week later in the same place or disappear after a few weeks. I even tried a gluten-free and dairy-free diet for a few months. I saw some changes but they always came back. One day, I found out in the Internet that I could have acne rosacea. My cheeks were always red and BURNT when there was an extreme change of temperature. Also, I always had some allergic reaction to some creams which I thought that it was because I had very sensitive skin which was true but it was also due to the rosacea. There is a type of rosacea that it looks as if you had acne but it's not your common acne. Now I understand why acne creams didn't work for me! I decided to go to Paquita Ors —a Spanish skincare brand known for treating all types of skin problems with natural products— to check my skin and they confirmed all my suspicions... it was acne rosacea.

The first thing they recommended me to do was to not use tap water because it could dry my skin even more and use instead oat water. There was also a list of foods that I couldn't have like spicy foods, alcohol. coffee, chocolate... —"What I'm going to do without chocolate?!, I thought, I couldn't help it and I started eating it 4 months later—. After almost a year later following these tips and using their creams I can say that my skin is now at its best. The redness is much less noticeable and I don't have little pimples or active breakouts that often —sometimes I do due to stress, hormones and because I start eating way too much chocolate.

Hoy voy a hablaros sobre mi rutina de belleza pero primero echemos un vistazo a la condición de mi piel hace unos años.... la verdad es que no era muy buena. Mi piel estaba roja y llena de granitos, especialmente en mis mejillas pero no era ni muy grasa ni muy seca pero si que estaba bastante deshidratada. Cada vez que preguntaba por una solución me sugerían algún tipo de crema que los iba a curar definitivamente, pero no vi mucha diferencia. A veces desaparecían y otras tardaban semanas o incluso volvían a los pocos días. Incluso probé cambiar mi dieta y decidí eliminar el gluten y la lactosa. Estuve varios meses siguiendo esa dieta y vi alguna mejoría pero seguían saliendo. Un día investigando por Internet se me ocurrió que podría tener acné rosácea. Mis mejillas se sonrojaban y ARDÍAN continuamente a los cambios de temperatura y siempre tenia algún tipo de reacción a según que cremas. Pensé que tenia la piel muy sensible, lo cual es verdad pero también se debe a la rosácea, pero existe también una variedad de rosácea que parece que tengas acné pero que no se trata del acné común. ¡Normal que no me funcionara ninguna crema! Decidí ir a Paquita Ors para que me examinaran la piel y me confirmaron mis sospechas... era acné rosácea. 


Lo primero que me recomendaron era no usar agua del grifo para lavarme la cara ya que me la resecaría aun mas, y en vez de eso utilizar agua de avena. También me dijeron una lista de alimentos que tenía que evitar como comidas picantes, alcohol, café, chocolate... — ¡que voy a hacer yo sin mi chocolate! pensé, no pude evitarlo y empece a tomarlo 4 meses después — Después de casi un año con estos consejos y las cremas que me recomendaron puedo decir que mi piel esta como nunca había estado antes. Las rojeces son mucho menos visibles y mis granitos han desaparecido. Salvo uno o dos que salen cuando tomo demasiado chocolate o dulces o debido a las hormonas y al estrés. 



Morning- AM.

  1. Oat Water/ Agua de avena - Paquita Ors — I pour it on a cotton pad and cleanse my face with it. This is the only "cleanser" that I use and it does take a lot of the overnight junk.
  2. Hydrating Face Tonic - Bobbi Brown — I recently included this product in my routine now that my skin has calmed down from the rosacea. I was suggested to try it because my skin was still very dehydrated, that's my main concern now. It doesn't contain alcohol!
  3. Intensive Skin Supplement serum - Bobbi Brown — Another recent addition. I love it because it's very hydrating and doesn't feel greasy. It has worked really well on my skin to recover from the dehydration. 
  4. Eye cream with stem cells: Contorno de ojos con celulas madre - Paquita Ors — It's very lightweight but also hydrating and it works great with makeup!
  5. Licorice root cream: Crema de raíz de regaliz - Paquita Ors — It's a very thick cream but it helps with the oily zones and now that it's summer it works better in my skin. It also helps with scaring.
●◌●

Mañanas- AM
  1. Agua de Avena - Paquita Ors — Vierto un poco en un disco desmaquillante para limpiar mi cara. Este es el único limpiador que utilizo por las mañanas y la verdad, elimina toda la suciedad que se ha acumulado por la noche,
  2. Hydrating Face Tonic - Bobbi Brown —  Hace poco que lo he incluido en mi rutina ya que mi piel esta ahora mas calmada de la rosácea. Me lo recomendaron porque mi piel estaba aun muy deshidratada, y este es mi mayor problema ahora que tengo que resolver. ¡No contiene alcohol!
  3. Intensive Skin Supplement serum - Bobbi Brown —  Otra adición reciente. Me encanta porque es muy hidratante y no siento que sea graso. Me esta funcionando muy bien en el tema de la deshidratación.
  4. Contorno de ojos con células madre - Paquita Ors — Es muy ligero pero también hidratante. Ayuda a que el maquillaje se aplique mejor en la zona del contorno de ojos y no quede tan deshidratada esa zona.
  5. Crema de raíz de regaliz - Paquita Ors — Es una crema muy densa pero ayuda a controlar las zonas mas grasas y ahora que es verano funciona mejor en mi piel. También ayuda con la cicatrización. 


Night - PM

  1. Make-up removing micellar solution. Sensibio - Bioderma — This is the only product that I haven't changed in all these years. It's a really good make-up remover and doesn't irritate my skin or eyes like other micellar waters that I have tried.
  2. Oat Water/ Agua de avena - Paquita Ors — I use it to take the rest of the makeup off.
  3. Hydrating Face Tonic - Bobbi Brown 
  4. Eye cream with stem cells: Contorno de ojos con celulas madre - Paquita Ors 
  5. Gentle Balancing cream: Equilibradora Suave - Paquita Ors — It moisturises the skin when it's very sensitive. I also use it before applying makeup in the evening or when my skin needs more hydration than usual.
  6. Repairing cream: Reparadora - Paquita Ors— This helped all my little and big pimples to disappear! It's great. I use it whenever I see a breakout coming. It's very drying so you must take care how much you use it!
●◌●

Noche - PM


  1. Desmaquillante de agua micelar. Sensibio - Bioderma —  Este es el único producto que no he cambiado en todos estos años. Es un buen desmaquillante que no irrita mi piel y ojos como otras aguas micelares que he probado.
  2. Agua de avena - Paquita Ors — La utilizo para quitar el resto del maquillaje.
  3. Hydrating Face Tonic - Bobbi Brown
  4. Contorno de ojos con células madre - Paquita Ors 
  5. Equilibradora Suave - Paquita Ors — Hidrata la piel muy sensible. También la utilizo antes de aplicar el maquillaje por la tarde/noche o cuando mi piel necesita un extra de hidratación.
  6. Reparadora - Paquita Ors — Esto es lo que más me ha ayudado a la hora de eliminar los granitos. Es simplemente genial. Lo utilizo cada vez que veo que va a salir un granito. Es muy secante así que tienes que tener cuidado con la cantidad que utilizas.

I get very excited when spring comes because I can start wearing my favorite accessory, sunglasses. I think that I have always worn a pair of sunglasses in all my outfit posts. I love the mysteriousness of wearing them. However, I own very few sunglasses because I search for quality over quantity and I believe that the eyes must be taken care of so that's why I chose very well my next pair of sunglasses. I don't want to own very cute sunglasses that are extremely cheap and that at the end of the day, they will damage my eyes because of their lack of protection. First of all, I want to be protected and then I want to look good. Nevertheless, you can still find cute sunglasses that aren't very expensive and that they will protect your eyes! Perfectglasses.co.uk offers you both, quality and design. They have a great selection of women's glasses and prescription sunglasses at affordable prices. From designer glasses (Marc Jacobs, Polaroid, Carrera, Jimmy Choo...) with great discounts to more inexpensive ones but still fashionable. It's easy to find a style you like with so many styles to choose from, like the classics as the aviators or more modern and colourful ones. Moreover, you can also customize your sunglasses to your preferred lens tint or to a polarised one
When you find a pair you like, you just have to choose whether you like them with a prescription lens or not and you will receive them very fast at your home. It's that easy! You may think that getting your sunglasses or glasses online is a bit of a hassle but it's really not. If you wish to get prescription glasses you just need to find the reference of your prescription that your optician gave you and you add it where you get asked for it and that's just all. I choose the model 'Popular' because I didn't own an aviator style and I wanted something different. I was impressed by the quality, they didn't hurt my eyes at all. Usually you can test the quality of sunglasses if they hurt your eyes but I could wear these ones without any discomfort. They also blocked the light very well even though I didn't choose the darkest lens.
If you want to update your summer looks, sunglasses are the perfect accessory to add to your outfits so I totally recommend you to check Perfect Glasses and check their selection.

Me encanta cuando llega la primavera porque puedo empezar a llevar mi accesorio favorito, las gafas de sol. Creo que en todos los outfits que he subido al blog, he llevado unas gafas de sol. Me encanta ese aire de misterio que aportan. Sin embargo, tengo muy pocas gafas porque busco calidad sobre cantidad y creo que hay que tener mucho cuidado con la vista, por eso mismo escogí muy bien mi siguiente par de gafas. No me gusta comprar gafas de sol que son muy bonitas y a la vez muy baratas porque al final me terminaran haciendo perjudicando en la vista por la falta de protección. Ante todo, busco la protección y luego ya quiero verme bien. Lo bueno es que podéis encontrar gafas muy chulas que te protejan la vista y no tienen por que ser muy caras. Perfectglasses.co.uk te ofrece ambos: calidad y diseño. Tienen una gran selección de gafas de mujer y gafas de sol graduadas a precios muy asequibles. Podéis encontrar desde gafas de diseño (Marc Jacobs, Polaroid, Carrera, Jimmy Choo...) con grandes descuentos a gafas mas baratas pero también a la moda. Es muy fácil encontrar un diseño que se adapte a cada una de vosotras ya que hay muchos estilos para elegir. Como por ejemplo las más clásicas de aviador o estilos mas modernos y coloridos de pasta. Además, también podéis customizar tus gafas de sol cambiando el color de la lente o cambiándolo a una lente polarizada. 
Cuando encuentres un par que te guste, solo tienes que elegir si las quieres o no graduadas y las recibirás rapidísimo en en tu casa. ¡Es así de fácil! Puedes pensar que comprar tus gafas online es un lío sobre todo si se trata de gafas graduadas, pero solo necesitas la referencia que te da el oculista y ya. Escogí el modelo "Popular" porque no tenia unas gafas de estilo aviador y quería probar algo diferente. Me dejó impresionada la calidad de la lente porque no me hacia daño a los ojos para nada. Normalmente, puedes averiguar la calidad de las gafas, si te hacen daño a los ojos pero estas las podía llevar perfectamente sin ningún tipo de incomodidad. A pesar de que escogí un modelo con una lente clara, bloqueaba muy bien la luz. 
Si queréis renovar vuestros looks de verano, las gafas de sol son el accesorio perfecto para añadir a vuestros outfits así que os recomiendo totalmente que visitéis Perfect Glasses y echéis un vistazo a su selección.

RED. Red is a very intense color known for representing danger and violence but it is also the color of love, warmth, courage and passion. I think we should embrace more these last meanings. I want to start wearing more this color because it actually makes me feel stronger and full of energy. I'm not the boldest and most badass girl out there but I'm trying everyday to step out of my comfort zone. I feel like staying in that zone makes you lazy and static. I want to explore the world fearlessly and always aim for change to evolve as a person in every aspect of my life. So that's why I want to start wearing more red, to remember me that there is always something more out of the ordinary. Moreover, let's not forget that red is a very flattering for everyone. There will always be a shade that will make you radiate positivity and the best version of yourself.

ROJO. El rojo es un color muy intenso conocido por representar peligro o violencia pero también representa el color del amor, afecto, coraje y pasión. Creo que deberíamos aceptar y adoptar más estos últimos términos. Quiero empezar a llevar mas prendas de color rojo porque me hace sentir mas fuerte y llena de energía. No soy la chica mas atrevida y badass que hay por ahí pero todos los días quiero sentirme fuera de mi zona de confort. Estar tanto tiempo en esa zona te hace mas perezosa e inactiva. Quiero explorar este mundo sin miedos y siempre teniendo como objetivo el cambio y asi crecer como persona en cada aspecto de mi vida. Por eso mismo quiero empezar a llevar más el color rojo, para recordarme que hay algo más alla de lo habitual. Además, no olvidemos que este color es muy favorecedor en todo el mundo. Siempre habrá un tono especial que te haga irradiar positividad y la mejor versión de ti misma.
