Gold Curtain Necklace

I hope you like the necklace I made out of a  chain curtain tie-back, and glass beads.
Espero que os guste el collar que me he hecho de una cadena para sujetar cortinas y unas cuentas de cristal.

Christmas Build Up- Part 1

The best part of Christmas is the building up:  the streets and  shop window decorations,  the wrapping of presents in pretty paper while we dream.

Getting together with friends and family  deserves our best  party ensemble,  so I am putting together a few outfits that I want to share with you.

Choice 1.-

Today,  due to the heavy  rain, I have taken my photos indoors.  You can have a quick glimpse of  my bedroom and  wardrobe. 

I am wearing a  high waisted silk skirt by LÁnglaise,   black top, vintage necklace,  clutch bag and cream sandals.

La mejor parte de la navidad son los preparativos: la decoración de calles y escaparates, envolver regalos en papeles brillantes de colores  mientras soñamos.

Juntarnos con amigos y familia merece nuestras mejores galas festivas, así es que he decidido compartir algunas de mis opciones  con vosotr@s .

Opción .- 1

Hoy, debido a la lluvia torrencial, he tomado las fotos en el dormitorio.

Llevo una falda de cintura alta de LÁnglaise, Top de punto negro, collar , cluth  vintage y sandalias color crema.

 My fellow friend and blogger Antonio from La Mode suggested to me  these 3 shoes options, once my knee is back to normal, of course…

What do you think ??? 

I have just got  great new: MIS PAPELICOS  has been featured in  December Vogue Turkey.

Yellow Dior & Flying birds

Yesterday, I went for a coffee with the girls,  and afterwards  I visited an exhibition of antique Spanish furniture at the local museum.
I am wearing my husband´s Cristian Dior shirt, and a  bird patterned scarf  held together by the  bird-ring  you already know.

Ayer fuí a tomar café con las amigas y después a visité una exhibición de muebles antiguos en el museo local.
Me puse la camisa de Cristian Dior de mi marido y un gran pañuelo de pájaros sujeto por el anillo que  ya conocéis.

Just before leaving the house it turned a bit chilly, so I  changed my boots and added a brown jacket with a black frilly leather belt.

Antes de salir empezó a refrescar,  así es que me cambié de botas y me  puse una chaqueta marrón con un cinturón negro de volantitos en piel.

I was featured in WHAT YOU WORE , just in case you want to have a look and leave a comment.

My Brogues

According to Wikipedia the word "brogues" originates in the late sixteenth century and is a derivation of the Irish and Scots Gaelic "brōg", taken from the Old Norse "brók" meaning "leg covering".
The word "brogue" was first used to describe a form of outdoor, country walking shoe in the early twentieth century. At that time the brogue was not considered to be appropriate for other occasions, social or business. Over time perceptions have changed and brogues are now considered appropriate in most contexts, including business. Brogues continue to be most common as leather dress and casual shoes and boots, but can also be found in many other forms including canvas and leather sneakers and high-heeled women's shoes.
I found these pair of brogues shoes in a vintage  market , and paid 2 euros for them.
I was so Inspired by their  colours, textures and patterns that  I had to build my  outfit around them.

I am wearing:  army green  Hooch skirt/ burgundy Gap shirt/ vintage brocade waistcoat/ vintage classic jacket/ husband´s leather belt / Foster Grant sunglasses.
