Face Hunted

Hey there, dear cyber friends! :)

Turns out my hectic week is slowly and irrevocably becoming a hectic month, so my lack of posts has a very good excuse... ;) However, yesterday I attended an event that's really worth mentioning, so I'll make a tiny exception for this quick and exciting post.

Yesterday evening, as some of you might know if you follow him on Twitter, Yvan Rodic aka Facehunter was in Barcelona's Holala Plaza, a very cool vintage store, signing books and chatting with everyone who would show. And I, of course, could not resist the amazing opportunity of actually meeting and talking to one of the most influencing bloggers out there... *-* I'd already seen him in last summer's The Brandery, along with the super mega stylish pair Gala González and Prince Pelayo, but it wasn't quite the same thing, it was a much more formal event, and I just didn't have the guts to approach him... :) But yesterday was very different: my dear friend Helga and I were there near the entrance, waiting for him to arrive, and then one second later, he shows up: "Hi!". The place wasn't at all crowded, so we started chatting, he took a beer, signed our books, we took photos of each other... It was great!

I was the first one, tatadada-dada!! ;)

Yvan was excited to hear that Helga was from Iceland as he goes there all the time, and he told us that after New York and Paris (or was it London?), most of the pictures in the book had been taken there.

So anyway, if you care about what I was wearing:

Zara dress

Antipast socks

Cortefiel ankle boots

Hoss Intropia *** cardigan with sequined embroidery

vintage little bag

Bimba & Lola bowler bag

(jewelry:  vintage golden chain + brooch worn as necklace [both from Bruxelles], 

Bimba & Lola "golden wings" bracelet, 

Lady Gaga "We Pray For Japan" charity bracelet)

I'm actually not very happy with this outfit... I feel like not only did it not flatter my body type, but was also a bit too over-the-top and weird for my taste... But anyway! Just look at Yvan instead of me, and problem solved. ;)

Find Wally! I mean, Yvan... ;)

I can't wait to show you all I've been up to lately! Not only all the amazing boutiques from Madrid I told you of last week, but also all the school stuff! It may sound kind of boring, but it's actually not: we've started to design some really cool things that I think you might find interesting to see... :)

I leave you for today with this pic of beautiful Helga... Have a great Monday!! :)

Colourful Beading & Floral Print

Hey there!! :)

Just doing a quick post before I get back to work... a big pile of Patternmaking homework is waiting right here by my side.

I just wanted to show you a couple of pretty things I bought this weekend... *-* The first is a pair of beaded sandals. I love them because they're so colourful and graphic, and have this sort of ethnic or tribal vibe.

Camila's beaded sandals from U-Casas

This is the grandma jewelry I bought in Bruxelles... ^^

They actually remind me of the last Spring/Summer 2011 Missoni collection, I guess because of their choice of colours, playing a lot with black. I could even relate them to the Proenza Schouler show and their brilliantly modern and fun version of "lady-like" style.

Both from Style.com

The other thing I wanted to show you was this super cute backpack I bought at Blanco for I think 20€... *-*

Isn't it the cutest thing? I love it because it's such a happy little bag, and my laptop fits in it, along with all the rest of my stuff... :)

So anyway!! I leave you with what I hope are happy thoughts, and a promise to post soon about St George's day... ;) Have a great beginning of the week!
