Happy New Year 2013 everyone!!!

I wish you all the most happy new year possible, full of success and victories both in labor and personal fields - because we all know that, after all, one always complements the other -. I just want to say that this last year has been full of good things and I am thankful for all of them, because I have learned and experienced, I've left behind everything that hurt me and I have opened the door to the light. I also want to thank everyone who follows my blog and enjoys reading it, to everyone who finds here the inspiration and shares my interests and concerns. I just wish that 2013 will bring us more good thing to our way. Love you all! And don't forget to enjoy life, that's what really matters. X

Quiero desearos a todos un felicísimo año nuevo, lleno de éxitos y triunfos tanto en el terreno laboral como en el personal – porque todos sabemos que, al fin y al cabo, uno siempre complementa al otro –. Simplemente quiero decir que este año que dejo atrás ha estado lleno de cosas buenas y me siento agradecida por todas ellas, por haber aprendido y vivido, por haber dejado atrás todo aquello que dolía y haber abierto las puertas a la luz y al amor. También quiero dar las gracias a todos los que me seguís y disfrutáis con mi blog, a todos los que encontráis la inspiración aquí y compartís mis gustos e inquietudes. Solo deseo que en el próximo año vengan muchas más cosas... y MEJORES. Váis a tener Claudia para rato, lo prometo. ¡Amor a todos! Y a disfrutar de la vida, que es lo importante. X

One day w/ Alberto Van Stokkum

Yep, because one day with Alberto Van Stokkum goes a long way ... A few weeks ago the Majorcan photographer organized a spectacular photo shoot with Aida Domenech, Daniela Blume and me at the Hotel Axel in Barcelona. We spent all morning and part of the afternoon putting together all the clothes we had brought in our bags, taking pictures in every single room of the suite of the hotel (even in the bathtub), creating crazy looks and spending a day full of fun. Everyone who already know the work of Van Stokkum will recognize that sexy, sweet and thug-style touch in all of his photographs. So unique and so particular. That touch that has managed to get half of the Spanish star system posing for him showing their most flirtatious, provocative and sensual faces. It's been a great pleasure working with him and the whole team that was taking care of us during the photo shoot. Hope you like the result as much as I do. Long Live Alberto!!!

Look of the Day: Warm Coat

Today I want to show you guys a look for these holidays which, as we all know, will be full of family meetings, dinners and celebrations, so as the cold started to show (at least in Barcelona) the best choice is to wear a warm coat as a basic piece. Since I am very into black I decided to give a touch of color to my outfit with my precious Pilar Burgos heels matching them with a Zara clutch. Hope you like it!

Look of the Day: "Enz-A addicted"

  

A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from fashion designer Andrea Lorenzo showing me her latest collection "Women Are Heroes" recently just released for sale. As I started to check her e-shop I fell inmediately in love with her collection of sweaters and then I wrote her back to collaborate together. That is why today I want to show guys a look that I created for a Christmas shopping spree day wearing an  Enz-A sweater (that's the name of Andrea's fashion brand) Besides being a precious piece of clothing is also very comfortable and a pleasure to wear it. And it is also a great pleasure to work with small brands as Enz-A, which has a truly inspirational brand philosophy. Andrea wants to address her fashion brand to a strong women, intelligent, consistent, ambitious and with so many concerns that she hasn't enough time to cover everything that she likes. With a 100% "Made in Barcelona" production, her collections are limited edition, which adds value to each of her garments. And this is not eveything! Keep on reading and discover a surprise that I have for you all ... ;)

Could I lock in your love, babe?

I know it's not a typical love song. It's not a ballad, or a bolero, or a heartbreaking song. In fact, it seems more like the kind of song you'd dance late night at the club. But, in my opinion, "Latch" is a hit of pure love and I felt an incredibly strong connection at the time I started to listen to the melody and the lyrics. It is wonderful. Sam Smith sings exactly what I feel when I'm in love and it made me feel great. Am I the only one that wants to merge with my loved one and would like to close with a zipper inside him?... Here you got the video and the lyrics. Enjoy it as much as I do and, please, have a LOVELY weekend you all!

*You lift my heart up when the rest of me is down. You enchant me, even when you’re not around. If there are boundaries, I will try to knock them down. I’m latching on babe, now I know what I have found. I feel we’re close enough. I want to lock in your love. I think we’re close enough. Could I lock in your love baby? Now I’ve got you in my space. I won’t let go of you. Got you shackled in my embrace. I’m latching onto you. I’m so encaptured, got me wrapped up in your touch. Feel so enamored, hold me tight within your clutch. How do you do it? You got me losing every breath. What did you give me?... to make my heart beat out my chest!!*

Look of the Day: Black Fox

Pictures by Antoine Garló

I recently announced via twitter my new collaboration with VAS, one of my favorite footwear stores. Not only they have their own signature shoes, but brands like Jeffrey Campbell, Mustang, Bronx ... On today's post I want to show guys how I combined my precious black creepers that I recieved at home a few weeks ago along with other designs that I'm eager to show :) So this is another total black look (so typical of me, I know) but this one is a little bit different because you can wear it during the day and also to go dancing with your friends in the club. Last weekend I was up late in Bling Bling rocking my new creepers and feeling crazy comfortable. Word! I recommend to everyone, women and men, that be looking for a nice and trendy shoe to show up at one of its stores or to take a look at their website to find the perfect pair of shoes for this winter. I am delighted with my new purchases and I can't wait to show them to you, so stay tuned!
