THE ATTITUDE

To appreciate a great style is sometimes about carrying the right attitude. To make anything look great, is about attitude itself. I have a great appreciation for all beautiful people, and specially for those brave ones with THE attitude.

If you feel like a little lesson on how to look great with whatever, don't miss Cloé's photograph above.

Diego is wearing Levi's and Martens' boots. The floral shirt is from Roberto Cavalli, (mom's he said) and the frack jacket is from Topshop. The hat is vintage (grandma's) and he's wearing a Zara tank top. Unfortunately he didn't tell me where to get some attitude.

Valorar un gran estilo es, a veces, cuestión de tener la actitud adecuada. Convertir cualquier cosa que lleves en un gran estilo, es una cuestión de actitud. Yo aprecio realmente a toda la gente bella, pero especialmente a aquellos valientes que tienen LA actitud. Y si teneis alguna duda, echad un vistazo al imposible estilismo de Chloé Sevigny, y lo fantástica que está. A ver quien se atreve a ponerse un frac y un gato enorme disecado en la cabeza sin ser carnaval.

H&M CHICAGO

It is not that I want the Fall to come... but in the August edition of ELLE I found this irresistible outfit ...

And I thought... well I have the only single thing she's missing.... 

This hat is from H&M (men) from four winters ago. I'm still loving it and  I still don't skip the men's section whenever I drop into an H&M. 

Right now in their stores you can find a beautiful jacket like the one the model is wearing for $30. It cannot be any more chic for so cheap!

Tonight walking Michigan Avenue, the advertisement below stood out. It is in the window of Salvatore Ferragamo store. This look is built combining the same kind of patterns and with the gorgeous bag.  Here we have the safe bet for the

                                                                 new season. Will I find an inexpensive version?

No es que yo quiera que llegue el otoño… pero en el n’umero de agosto de Elle encontr’e este irresistible estilismo y pens’e, bueno, yo tengo lo ‘unico que a ella le falta. El sombrero es de H&M (men), de hace cuatro inviernos. Todav’ia me encanta y a’un sigo visitando la secci’on de chicos cada vez que voy a un H&M. Esta temporada podeis encontrar en sus tiendas una chaqueta preciosa, del estilo de la que lleva la modelo por $30. No puede ser m’as chic por menos dinero! Esta noche, paseando por Michigan Avenue, el anuncio de debajo me ha llamado la atenci’on. Est’a en el escaparate de Salvatore Ferragamo. El look de la imagen combina los mismos estampados y el bolso es precioso. As’i que es una apuesta segura para la nueva temporada. Encontrar’e una versi’on econ’omica?

MY NEW ARTWORKS

A TRIBUTE TO JESUS DEL POZO

                                                                                                                                                 This post is a tribute to Jesus del Pozo, Spanish fashion designer who died yesterday at age 65. Spain's Fashion Creators Association president and fashion designer Modesto Lomba, said although Del Pozo had looked weak in recent months he had worked with commitment and energy to the end. "We have to recognize he was one of the instigators of Spain's current fashion era", said Lomba, "He made possible the reality the rest of us live in today."  Jesus del Pozo's collections were based on the sensuality and romanticism of women. A touch of sophistication was always added to his creations by the details: trims, sculptural elements, handmade finishes, and metalized embroidery, illuminating the Jesus del Pozo woman. His work is a tribute to the feminine spirit which is the main part of his legacy.

ORIENTAL THEATER CHICAGO

                                                           

Last night I went to the play the West Side Story at the Oriental Theater.  I loved the atmosphere of this  old fashioned and stunning location! I brought my camera, but I was so amazed with the space that I only shot the architecture. The play was fantastic and being able to enjoy it with white wine and popcorn was a welcome touch. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than is common in Europe during similar events, so my fears about not being dressed up enough vanished in five minutes. The theater was crowded with an enthusiastic audience that clapped at the end of every single song. This killed the climax somehow, but it was fun and I was caught up in the enjoyable ambiance quickly. It was a great night. I was wearing black jumpsuit from Blanco (20 Euros), blazer from DKNY (bought in Selections for $15), shoes from Zara ($30 on sales) and the snake leather clutch I bougth in Second Time Around ($30). The wooden bracelet is from Sfera in Spain (around 2 Euros).

Anoche estuve en el teatro Oriental viendo West Side Story. Me encant’o la atmosfera de este edificio antiguo y deslumbrante. Me  llev’e la c’amara, pero impresionada como estaba con el espacio, no hice fotos m’as que de la arquitectura. La representaci’on fue fant’astica y  se pod’ia entrar a la sala con los aperitivos del bar, as’i que agradec’i el vino blanco con palomotas mientras la ve’ia. La atm’osfera era mucho m’as relajada de lo que es habitual en Europa en los teatros, as’ que la preocupaci’on por no haberme arreglado bastante se me pas’o a los cinco minutos. El teatro estaba llen’isimo con un p’ublico entusiasta que aplaud’ia al final de cada n’umero. La verdad es que al principio me pareci’o que estropeaban el climax de la funci’on, pero al poco tiempo estaba tan animada que me contagi’e del ambiente. Fue una noche genial. Llevaba un mono de Blanco (20 E), la Americana es de DKNY (comprada en Selections por 15 $), los zapatos son de las rebajas de Zara (20 E) y el clutch de segunda mano en Second Time Around (30 $). La pulsera de madera lacada es de Sfera (2 E).
