Look of the Day: Autumn Yeti

 Pictures by Maria Mestre

Today I decided to combine my three favorite colors for autumn / winter season: black, white and gray. At first sight seems to be an overload outfit, but is only a matter of using 2 or 3 key pieces to create a look so chic. In this case, the faux fur coat becomes the star garment, and when combined with a nice shiny necklace, the rest is plain sailing: basic items - such as a white shirt, black jeans and booties - will give the final touch. What do you think?

I recommend you guys to take a look at their new online catalog, because I'm sure you will find the perfect shoe. Do you want to know which are my favorites? Keep reading...

Recomendación del día: Le Salon

A few months ago I told you about my experience at Le Salon (you can read it here), and as many of my readers continued asking me about the hair treatments that I use, I decided to include this wonderful salon in my "Recommendation of the Day" section. Since I live in Barcelona I've tried several hair salons and I had never been so satisfied with any of them as I am now with Le Salon. There's no better place! So last week I asked for an appointment (many of you already know that every winter I want to get bangs) so I called stylist Tomás Sierra and decided not only to cut my hair, but also apply the Ballage Coup Soley technique to lighten up my natural hair color. The last time I tried this amazing sunbath experience I was thrilled and I couldn't wait to try it again.

New babes in my closet ❤

 Today I was walking up Rambla Catalunya, going back home after a long day of classes, books and taking notes when I suddenly stopped by Pilar Burgo's store. When you see the next picture you will know why ;-) Welcome home new pair of beauties! I'm in love! ❤ Plus, they are crazy comfortable!!

LOOK OF THE DAY: The importance of small details

Sometimes we don't pay attention to what is really important, in this case, all of the small details that can completely change an outfit, taking it from one extreme to the other. This beautiful Zara jacket has a classic touch that could be a little bit too serious for a young girl like me, so I decided to make a difference with a very light make up and some kind of messy disheveled ponytail. The jewelry – Zara necklace and vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual – always following the classic line... couldn't be other way ;-)

Scott Schuman's new book launch party @ Galería Loewe

Last Friday my friends Pol and Zina joined me to attend the event that was held at Loewe Gallery in Barcelona to launch Scott Schuman's new book: "The Sartorialist: Closer". A meeting where the union between fashion, photography and craftwork captured all of the interest. With a short list of less than 100 guests, we could enjoy a selection of the best photographs of the most famous coolhunter in the world. Among the snapshots I noticed a beautiful moment captured by the photographer where two children pose in the middle of the desert, proving that beauty and originality lies not only in the streets of Paris, NY and London but anywhere in the world.

Lady Gaga: The Born This Way Ball - Barcelona

Lady Gaga consiguió que medio Palau Sant Jordi se volviera loco – incluída yo – con el concierto que ofreció ayer en Barcelona y tengo que confesar, antes de empezar a escribir este post, que nunca he sido muy fan de la cantante...

LOOK OF THE DAY: Western inspiration

Hey guys! Tomorrow is Lady Gaga's concert and I'm sooo excited to attend the VIP area thanks to Stradivarius. They want to celebrate its 1st online store launch anniversary so they invited me to enjoy the concert and the previous party... but not only that! Stradivarius also gave me this amazing leather jacket which is one of my favorite pieces of the new collection. It reminds me of some kind of western film, don't u think? Besides, I think it's perfect to combine with different clothes and colors... so my friend Pol Valero, Broken Stylee's editor, gave me the idea to mix it with a big purple hat. Do u like the final result?

LOOK OF THE DAY: Loose and comfortable

This is definitely one of my favorite autumn outfits. You know that I love/adore/venerate black clothes and today I found these amazing sneakers and I couldn't resist them. Besides, the clothes are so comfortable and loose that they turned out to be perfect to take a walk around Barcelona or to go to the university. What do you think? Do or don't?

Look of the day: Sayán Black & Gold

Inspired By Day... I

Today's post is very special to me because I can finally say that I'm the official Brand Ambassador of one of the most beautiful hotels in Barcelona: the Gran Hotel La Florida. Last week Inspired by The Luxury Hotels of Barcelona's team invited me and a few fellow bloggers to spend an amazing day at Hotel Juan Carlos I in order to celebrate their new website and to get to know a few brands that collaborate with the luxury hotels of the Husa group.
