Things you might not know about Spanish women:
1.-Spanish women don´t change their surnames when they get married. Like men, they keep their names from birth to grave.
2.-We have two surnames, one from our father and one from our mother.
So I am Amate ( from my father) and Martínez ( from my mother).
3.-We get our ears pierced at birth. The midwife does it in most cases.
4- We don´t usually wear hats, just the occasional millinery for weddings.

what a funny post! well i actually love these things about spanish women! gorgeous jacket, love the colors and so perfect for fall!
it's so lovely learning more about you! How interesting about the ear piercing! It's funny as I didn't get mine done till I was about 12, and then they closed a few years later and I never got them done again- now I wear clip-ons!
I'd like to keep my name but it so accepted over here that we just take the husbands name. It's wonderful to take both and be able to trace your family back that way! :)
I love that you keep your last name, very regal and preserves a lady's connection to her family.
That jacket is regal and beautiful, much like Spanish women :)
You are beautiful! Loved learning more about Spanish women and honoring both parents with surnames.
ooo you look so sweet!!!! And that haircut is really your thing! you look such a fashion mom ;-)
my mom is spanish and her name is : anna jesus garcia sanchez. And she pierced my ears when I was a baby also haha x
You did an amazing job recreating that outfit. I love the factoids. I knew about the ear piercings, actually. My great grandmother was from Spain, so I learned a lot early on (just unfortunately not the language).
Thank you for the facts about Spanish women - I did not know you had your ears pierced at birth! I adore your colorful outfit, so rich and pretty! Thank you for linking up to Visible Monday!
You look gorgeous as always. Love the mix and your DIY footwear.
Vietnamese women too, we keep our surnames after marriage and girls got their ears pierced just a few days after birth.
Have a nice day!

Love the facts!! The baby girls in my family have gotten their ears pierced at birth as well. Not a cultural thing, just a family tradition.
Love how you styled the slippers. Great outfit with all of the pattern mixing! Very pretty.
me encanta la chaquetilla de tweet! Mi apellido es más perro que un perro verde jaja
besitos!
Love the colours of your clothes, they are so wonderful and I enjoyed learning about the way your names go..very interesting!! XXXXX
Great look :)
Interesting facts about spanish women. Love the tweed jacket!
hola Sacramento , veo que has estrenado los zapatos. Muy bonita la chaqueta.
besos y que pases un buen puente!!!!
Thank you for sharing lovely things about Spabish women!!
You look beautiful! I love your jacket and slippers...STUNNING!!
I actually grew up near Mexico and married a man who is half Puerto Rican so I know a LOT about the Spanish culture. My dad actually speaks fluent Spanish and he is 100% Native American. I am very familiar with the mile long Spanish names!! haha I have a neighbor that is from Spain and we may plan a trip to go and visit her home next year! So excited!! Your outfit is amazing. I love love love that jacket. It is so interesting and goes well with the fabulous DIY slippers. I have been looking for a fabulous full bright skirt like this forever! Your Miu Miu interpretation is GORGEOUS!! Kiah
I've learnt something new about Spanish women today - thank you! Your slippers look fab on xoxo

I didn't know that about Spanish women. Thank you for the interesting information.
I adore that jacket and pattern mixing is so fun. I have been experimenting with it lately - but you really have it down.
I am your newest follower and joined you over at Visible Mondays today.

I knew this about Spanish women. I've been married 50 years and do not use my husband's name I had a big thing about women keeping their own names I don't like the tradition here of just tossing it away the way they do.
Your outfit is stunning on you and goes so well with the slippers. Nan
Hola!!como ves de vez en cuenado em paso por tu blog, unico dónde lso haya, en serio no se si por el espiritu joven que tiees o por qué, em caes bien!!
That is such a fantastic coat! It looks very royal and I adore the color and of course, great styling! :D:X
very nice outfit!:)
What an insightful post :) That seems like a much more sensible way to organise names! And a gorgeous mixture of fabrics and colours as usual!x
that is so cute!

Wonderful colourful outfit, love the orange of your skirt.
You need to add a 5th fact - Spanish women are VERY stylish! At least this one is! xxxxxxxxx
Qué estilo tienes!!! Me encanta!!
Ooh! You're wearing the DIY shoes!! And the 3 watches - supercool!! :)
me fascina!
I love the tradition of having the two names, and of the woman keeping her name. I also love your orange skirt. You always have such vibrant, playful colors going on over here!
What a fabulous ensemble, doll! That cardigan is especially great!
go girl, give miu miu a run for their money!
Hola, me encanta la mezcla de colores que has hecho.Buen puente
muy interesante...
me gustan sus zapatas.
the red color is so beautiful!
I love your inspired outfit! You look beautiful. And, I never knew that about Spanish women! xo Happy Holidays! xo
I always liked the fact that you Spanish ladies got to keep your maiden name! Wonderful jacket!
I didn't know any of those Spanish facts, but I agree with Curtise, Spanish women are far more stylish and colourful than their British sisters if you're anything to go by!
I love this outfit, your slippers are brilliant and you look much better than the model.
An inspiration as always, my beautiful friend. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I need that orange skirt in my life!!!

Still waiting for my 9 year old daughter to let me pierce her ears, I should have done it at birth!
I had not known any of this about cultural naming practices. I learned something new today. Admiring the look, especially the skirt.
Love your slippers - and your hair (the quiff looks fab)!
I didn't know a lot of those things, so thank you for sharing :)
Que guapa te ves!!! me encantan las mezclas tan acertadas, a mi me gusta un pelin más el apellido materno, me hubiera gustado vivir en Brasil, que creo que allí se lleva el apellido de las madres primero.
besos guapaa.

Gorgeous skirt Sacramento :) I am indeed Australian, but I have been in London for almost 7 years now. Really looking forward to some Christmas sunshine! xx
Great outfit inspiration. Love your facts about Spanish women. Xxxx
Amate is a beautiful surname! I want it. There are a lot of similarities between Mexican and Spanish women I see here. Still debating if I will ever change my name if I get married. Beautiful fotos friend.
I love the way you mix up the patterns in your outfits. I am definitely inspired!
It was so cool to learn those little facts about Spanish women, learning new things is always good!
Fantastic outfit and how it ties into Miu Miu is superb! Your skirt is different, I LOVE it! All of the textures are a visually interesting and sooo lovely!
that's so cool! I really don't want to change my name when I get married either hehe. That is an amazing outfit, that skirt is just beautiful!
That is a tidbit I did not know before. Very cool . Also cool is your amazing sweater and the way you styled your hair
Gorgeous, beautiful and bright, as always!

Interesting facts--funny about the hats--maybe as the weather is warm therefore not necessary?
I love the jacket. It is amazing. You look lovely as always.

Maybe everybody should do a thing about a few things about women of each country - as for us Quebecers
1- We keep our surname
2- On our birth certificate we still have the name Marie or Joseph remnants of the Catholic church
3- Our children can bear either our surname, our husband name or both
4- The women in Quebec scare men we are too independant
5- She swears a lot even if she does want to admit it in that case she will do it in secret
Nice outfit Mrs P - i love how you are not afraid of mixing everything - You are to an artist...your hair is getting longer? I like it
Besos - Ariane xxxxx
and i forgot, for streets and People if you are photo of the week they will send you an e-mail or you could be in their magazine on line they are constantly adding new ones, mine are there quite often
xxxxxx

Love your jacket! Was it one of your thrift store finds? It's fabulous.
I have my own story about earrings and babies. My husband and his family are from Cuba where girls usually have their ears pierced as babies. When my daughter was a baby my Mother-in-law and Sister-in-law both found it very odd that my little girl didn't have her ears pierced. They asked me quite a few times when I was planning on having it done.
On the other hand, in my mother's family it was very shocking for girls to pierce their ears at all. My Mother's family is Italian, and not a single woman in the family had pierced ears.
I love love this post. First you look wonderful. The jacket with the skirt is fab and your hair like that compliments your face. You are a very beautiful woman!Again... I LOVE YOUR HAIR LIKE THIS!!!
And thanks for the info about the spanish woman. Cool to know :-) Bisou Anna
Complimet for look....kiss

Ay calla, que lío cuando vivía en Londres con los de los apellidos! De mi primer apellido sólo ponían la primera letra, como si fuera mi segundo nombre. A mi madre le hacía gracia, claro.
Estás reguapa, como siempre.

I adore your Miu Miu look, and that lace jacket is so beautiful! Lovely to see your DIY slippers.
We grew up with Spanish traditions too, so I had 2 surnames growing up. Now, after marriage, I simply added another surname so my passport name is ridiculously long! xxx
Bien bien bien!!!!
Love that lace jacket! And what a cool idea to wear multiple watches. Why did I think of that?! :)

Vibrant as always - great, great outfit. And how civilised, equal and respectful that Spanish culture reflects both the mother and the father in the naming of children. I had no idea. How brilliant.
Me encanta tu post!, nada que como española no supiese, pero es cierto que son particularidades muy curiosas.
Y me encanta lo de mantener el apellido!
Love your blog especially "things you might not know about spanish women." Very informative

Very interesting things I found out about the Spanish women. Polish woman take her husband's surname, not all have pierced ears, I do not have, we wear hats because we have quite a harsh winter. You look great, nice colors. Yours...
I think that the folks at MIU MIU have been stalking you and using you for inspiration. I've seen a few looks on your blog that are similar to this collection, but were posted way before it hit the runway.
Sacramento, eres un crac!!!! He puesto tu blog en el mío, me he hecho seguidora tuya. Tengo que decirte que eres mucho mas poliglota que yo y mas tecnologica. Un placer seguirte, seguro que aprendí de ti mucho!!!!
