SOS 4.8!

As you all know I LOVE to be out and about so I spent my last weekend before leaving home and signing my contract of employment in Murcia, a city in south Spain, dancing to the beats of SOS 4.8 Festival.

So for me it was all about being dressed in comfy denim and Superga® (you all know how concerts usually come to an end, with your shoes coated in sand and human fluids so an easy to clean footwear was the main idea of the outfit)

Classics never fail.

If there is something I cannot deny is how Burberry, and especially the Prorsum line, have been gaining positions in my favourite brands scale due to some fantastic items that I immediately wrote down in my personal list "Item of desire" as soon as I spotted them in the fashion shows (see it here and here)

But the other day I was bored to death at home (while raining cats and dogs outside, must say) surfing the web and I found this Burberry video-ad campaign and I was really surprised when I realised that, appart from fashion, trends and whatever else, classics have something that never ends. 

As an illustration, this amazing trench coats with the iconic checks printed in the  lining that, honestly, made my mouth melt.

Spring in a nutshell.

If you are still looking for some late spring - early summer inspiration I think you should take a close look to SS12 Joseph Altuzarra's collection which probably concentrates all the spring trends in a nutshell.

So you must write down some tips:

1) Bright colors but without evading neutral black and white.

2) Different prints to mixed and match.

3) Bare legs.

4) Garments with different textures and materials in the same outfit.

5) And last but not least, feminine silhouettes.

 This is everything you need to look perfect in every social event in which you are going to be taking part during this months.

P.d. Sorry for the lack of updates lately but, as I already told you, I am about to move to a different city so I spend my days trying to sort things out as well as making the most with my last days off. Hope to be back to a proper pace as soon as possible.

ITEM OF DESIRE: The Cambridge Satchel Company® bag

First of all, sorry for the lack of updates in the past few days but I have been as busy as a bee with some personal stuff related with my new job.

As I am going to start my professional career in a fortnight more or less I have been thinking about what am I going to need for being prepared for my new 'way of life' so I thought that a worker bag will be required as soon as posible in order to face the long working days out of home.

It just took me 5 seconds to decide that one of my early purchases with my first wage should be a satchel from The Cambridge Satchel Company®, so I switched on my laptop and I entered the official website (link above) to see what they have for me.

I think I will get one of them in a dark, sober and professional color like navy blue, black or brown but I was quite surprised when I saw these fluor-coloured ones or the new 'batchel' which is a bit wider than the original satchel and with an upper handle, but as functional as the first one.

So now that the decision has been made it will just be a matter of time to spot me on my way to job with a satchel hanging on my shoulder.

April Showers



Now that April showers are here to stay I just can´t stop thinking about this see-through raincoat from Burberry Prorsum FW/2011 collection and how it will look covering my trench coat.

Simply enjoy how they looked like on the finale of the menswear fashion show when it started raining indoors.
