.on my mind.TRANSITIONAL COVER-UP AND SLIDES

COS cotton top ( here ) / Newbark python slides (  similar here ) / Zara black jeans / All saints cotton sweater / Becca shimmering skin perfector in Topaz( here ) and Laura Mercier body butter in crème brûlée (similar here) / Furla bag ( on sale! )

Here are my top choices for this week. It´s all about great basics with some python slides, cotton tops and easy-going knits. I absolutely adore this dusty rose shade for summer, especially when the skin starts to get that golden sheen from the sun. For body I have to share my love for this body butter from Laura Mercier, crème brûlée has that sweet and warm fragrance that is just to die for! And the other beauty product that I know for many many years and love how versatile it can be, is this shimmering skin perfector that you can mix into your foundation or use in specific points like cheekbones, forehead and nose. Furla is doing a mid-season sale and that black bag is on sale, totally worth it. Hope you like my selection and have a great weekend!

.beauty.MY BEAUTY SELECTION FOR NOW

OLD AND NEW FAVORITES

Lately my skin are reacting a little more to weather conditions and this means that I need some SOS products without parabens with good soothing properties. The first one is this Embryolisse lait-crème concentré which has a great reputation in the make-up artist´s world. It´s a multi-tasking creme that can be used as a primer, make-up remover, mask or as a moisturizer. I already used it twice but somehow I find it very "flat" in terms of a moisturizer, but as a make-up remover or a mask? very soothing and perfect for my skin.
For specific areas I have a power duo that has been my favorite for a few months, I´m talking about the Avène soothing eye contour cream and La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 for face. At last, my haircare routine is pretty low maintenance, it's simple and easy... I´m just using the Bumble and Bumble defining cream like I do since 7 years or more and it never let me down, a true keeper!

My final tip is: make things simple and don´t try to categorize too much your skin type or hair type. For example, I choose products that say "For all skin types" and "all hair types" and treat your specific needs with an extra product like a good tonic lotion for T-zone or a hair mask. And don´t forget to choose more organic products like silicone-free and paraben-free. 

.on my mind.THE EFFORTLESS SLIM SLIDES

Vacation paradise and Common Projects photos via Theline.com / Becca cosmetics the ultimate gloss in pink lotus ( here ) / InStyle editorial June.15 / Common Projects slides ( here and here )/ Gianvito Rossi suede slides

These are my picks in terms of slides for summer, sleek and minimal with three different shapes. Of course that I can´t resist to high quality leather slides, and you know me, I´m a shoe lover! Those three options caught my attention on net-a-porter´s site, they´re beautiful. In terms of lip shades for summer I´ll stay in my comfort zone in the world of a coral/pink hue, like that one from Becca Cosmetics, they're amazing and lasts forever ( I already have the color malibu punch and I think that would be a nice option too). Have a great week!

.details. LACE-UP SANDALS

VALENTINO INFLUENCES

Normally this is how I break a classic outfit, with an effortless flat shoe. These sandals have Valentino´s and Chloé´s aesthetic, but at the same time they remind me the gladiator sandals seen on Isabel Marant collections too. I think they´re a good purchase to consider, they might not be the most attractive piece laying on the floor but they truly come alive on the feet.  

Have a great week!

GETTING READY FOR SUMMER SUEDE

Suede and lace-up sandals are in full force at the stores right now. I will begin with a low budget piece like this pair, and then I'll decide if I´ll love them enough to invest in a more expensive version ( I do that a lot... smart shopping works for me all the time lol ). I think I will give a try to the platform suede sandals too. 

Have a great week!

.want,need.MONDAY SHOPPING: LIGHT RIBBED KNIT

Joseph rib top and long skirt ( similar here ) / Uterqüe sandals / Joseph grey top ( similar here / Furla small bucket bag ( similar here )/ Furla fur bag charm / Diptyque Huiles Précieuses body oil

This week I´m all into this type of deconstructed ribbed knitwear in pure white hues. Joseph is one of my favorite brands for a long time and this week I´m showing you my most recent obsession: that long ribbed skirt! Totally cool with some Chloé inspiring flat lace-up sandals or this burgundy heel. A fur bag charm is in my wish list as well as a small bucket bag, and Furla has some great options. And because the bared leg season is approaching, nothing better to splurge on this body oil from Diptyque to indulge your skin, there´s no error with this brand ( you can always find some great options from local pharmacies too, like Lierac, Caudalie or Nuxe ). I´m on a countdown mode to wear a pair of lace-up sandals, hope the weather get better and the rain stops, finger´s crossed!

.need.WHITE SUMMER SLIDES AND LEATHER

YOUR BEST FRIEND FOR EFFORTLESS OUTFITS

I´m on the hunt for easy-going slides. I already have ones in black from last summer, but I´m searching for a different model with a flatter shape. More minimalistic and less heavy. These ones from Zara are on sale, a totally bargain! But i´m looking for a high quality option too. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Kisses!

.beauty.MY FAVORITE BRONZER FOR GLOWING SKIN

DIOR NUDE AIR TAN POWDER

Dior´s bronzer has been my favorite over the years although they continuously have been changing the original name. The effect is always super natural with a subtle shimmer for a glowing skin. Definitely a must-have in my beauty routine.

.my picks.MONDAY SHOPPING

Zara white jeans /  Ganni oversized shirt  /  Ganni lace shorts  /  Isabel Marant sandals ( similar here ) / Furla backpack /  All Saints embroidered dress ( similar here and here )

This week I´m all into white jeans, some black silk pieces and embroidered dresses. I just love the oversized silk shirt combined with those silk shorts, effortless and very useful to mix and match this type of pieces with a pair of jeans or a simple t-shirt. I´m on the hunt for a long and sleek embroidered dress and All Saints has the most gorgeous option, love the straight cut shape of it. And finally, I found this beautifully leather backpack from Furla and I think that it´s probably the beginning of a more easy-going and less classic approach from the italian brand that I´ve been a faithful follower from many years, love it! Have a great week!

.new in.BOY-FIT JEANS

MY LAST PICK: J BRAND JAKE JEANS

I finally decided to give a try to   boyfriend jeans but with a twist, like this pair from J Brand. They´re not too oversized, just the right amount for being comfortable but maintaining a feminine shape. At least, that was the point! I think that I may have found the right proportion, and you know that this can be a long and frustrating process in finding the right pair of jeans. If you want any tips on this matter feel free to ask.

.on my mind.THOSE BOY´S SHORTS!

COS cotton long shirt ( similar here )  / Whistles black slides ( similar here ) /  H&M silk shorts ( similar here )

I´m just in love with that laid-back silhouette. Summer will be so much more interesting with silk shorts and a cotton blouse, right? I also love the culottes shorts in this type of outfit, Asos have a lot of good options like these ones from Noisy May´s silk shorts. Possibly a more reasonable option with some extra centimeters for moving around the city and also a homage to Stella´s silhouettes from SS15 collection.

.beauté.KIEHL´S SHAMPOO

THE AMINO ACID SHAMPOO

Hi everyone!! I´m sorry that I´ve been away for a while, but I´ve been out for a few day´s!  But now I ´m having a little more time and can update my latest choices in terms of beauty, fashion and a lot more! Don´t forget to follow me on instagram, normally I´m adding new pics regularly..  

I already talked about the importance that I give to a good shampoo and texturizing cream, and this option from Kiehl´s, the Amino Acid shampoo, will not let you down. It has a special formula with coconut oils and wheat proteins, which means?, it smells amazing!! Normally I choose more organic items that I know it will not weight down my hair at a long term. Malin & Goetz has a similar one, the Moisturizing shampoo is one of my favorites too. And a more affordable option is Phyto Paris ( you can find it at a local pharmacy ).

.on my mind.BLUE, DENIM AND GUCCI

Gucci look#108 / Mango bag / Zara home blanket / Stuart Weitzman slides

Denim, suede and easy-going slides, what else can you ask for spring? Gucci rules! I´m searching right now for a good pair of boyfriend slim jeans to break a little my love for skinny´s ( yeah! I know that lately I´ve been posting a lot of looks with bare legs, but, and there is always a but, my black skinny jeans are waiting for me, and there´s nothing that can mess with that relation). I will let you know when i decide for a pair ( probably I´m going to pick something from Current Elliott or J Brand). Have a wonderful week!

.new in.THE 70´S VIBES

3 REASONS TO BUY A BROWN BAG

Because the 70's boldness has arrived in force with its brownish universe of suedes and fringes, I decided to give it a try with a more transitional piece like a deep brown bag. And, I have to confess that, since Givenchy introduced us their dark and mysterious shades of brown leather details on SS15 collection, that I´ve been thinking about that image. And finally, my last reason for choosing this piece, when combined with a light dress and softer shades, it resembles a lot to one of my favorite looks from maison Valentino, with white dresses and camel/brown bags and sandals.
