Feria de las naciones (in photos)

We visited this international fair full of stalls from different countries, some full of typical food and some with typical hand crafted and decorative objects.
We went there at night and had a bite to eat and walked through the international market enjoying the mixture of colours and smells.



 

Loved these (super expensive) lamps! Perfect to decorate any space.

 
 
 

The best stalls were by far India and Morroco, both full of little decorative things all really bright and cheerful.
I've always loved these shoes, tjeu are so amazing, you can wear (almost) anything and at the end just pop these on and make the whole outfit pop.





And welcome to Nino's dream. This was his favourite one. We would have bought a whole ham (which in Spain includes the whole leg and even the hoove (uggghh!!!), but he would have had to carry it around all night.. so he decided better not to, which I preferred.



Part of what we had to eat: Nino had kangaroo (yessss, kangarooo!!!!!!) hamburguer "in Australia" (he said it was really nice meat...) and I had Indian vegetable curried rice, yummy!





These were all artisan sweets made out of natural ingredients only. I feel terrible about admitting this, but the store bought sweets are much better, these are far to sweet for me... But they were still good!
And here we have the best photo of me.... The rest were much worse, I'll have a word with my photographer later on...




After that we had something to drink in the open air terrace all decorated with these hanging lights while we danced a bit.



And this is what I wore, hope to show you this bright outfit soon!
Todays my last day at work before I go on holidays: off to England to attend my aunt's wedding! MUST start packing!!!!
I am soo excited, really looking forward to see (most) of mu family.

Some words in Spanish:
Fuimos a la Feria de las Naciones y disfritamos de una noche genial entre puestosde comida y artesaría típica.
Mis puestos favoritos fueron los de India y Marruecos, ambos llenos de alegría y color! El puesto favorito de Nino fue el de los embutidos. Se habría llevado un jamón, pero habría tenido que cargar con el toda la noche... asi que finalmente pasó..
Nino probó la hamburguesa hecha de carne de canguro (siii, cangurooo!) que le gustó mucho, yo cené arroz de verduras al curri, buenisimo!
Los pasteles artesanos eran espectaculares! Y las gominolas artesabas eran muy bonitas, aunque tengo que admitir que me gustan much más las que se compran en tiendas... éstas estaban demasiado dulces! Y ésa es la foto en la que mejor se me ve de toda la noche. Luego hablaré seriamente con mi fotografo a ver que le pasaba....
Finalmente tomamos unas copas en la terraza al aire libre que estaba decorada con estas bonitas luces flotantes mientras bailamos un poco.
Y aquí teneis un adelanto de mi outfit de ese dia, espero ponerme pronto y enseñaroslo!
Que disfrutéis el final de semana!!! xx


Hope you have a nice end of the week!

Running errands and favourite fields (with guest photographer)

Not used to share daily outfits with you, but this is due to no other reason than Nino not being able to take my photos during the week.

So most (if not all, can' remember exactly) outfits photos are of what I wear during the weekends when doing something nice.

This is what I wore last week when I went out with my mum to do some errands and continue looking for "The Perfect" mirror, which I start to think doesn't exist (at least in my budget).

As I told you here, we found these Chufa (tiger-nut) fields near a huge second hand store, so we decided to stop and enjoy the views.

Mum got all excited and started taking photos of everything, so this is how this post came together.

Getting creative with the details.

The views from this place are just perfect. Incredible.



Before that we had had some yummy grilled cheese sandwiches with salad and some fruit. Well, we also had a couple chocolates which were quite amazing..




This photo reminds me of an oasis.



Could you imagine living in one of those houses in the background? What a dream!!!



As you can see, my mum fell in love with the perfection of these fileds and took many photos.



I took some photos with my phone of my mum shooting everything. We laughed a lot.



Love the lighting on this photo.




A few creative shots, a mini palm tree, an old glove, a huge tree and more chufa plants.



On our way home we went past this cool wall, I'd love to have some photos taken there.

Mum, thanks for these great photos!!

What I wore: 

Dip bleached studded denum jacket: DIY (last seen here, before here)
Prada look-a-like sunnies: Favourite street market (here, too)
Blouse: H&M
Slip: Came with a dress.
Furry clutch: WHSmith
Leggings: Calcedonia
Shoes: Coolway

Quick post to say hi!

You all know how much I like to do great big and looong posts, but I just haven't been able to sit down and do any blogging this weekend..

Roses are red and my dress is blue (Outfit)

Welcome to my new favourite place.

Discovered this place with my mum a few weeks ago week while looking for the perfect second hand mirror.

We did not find it.... but we found this marvelous an amazing place instead.

It's on the outskirts of Alboraya, a small town only a few kilometers away from Valencia.

Isn't it just perfect? I would just bring a book with me and would sit right in the middle of that road and do nothing. Love it.

Snatched this dress from the clearance rack at H&M a couple of weeks ago. I was thinking of doing some DIY to it, maybe cut the bottom hem in a fish tail shape, but after seing how it actually looks on photos I might leave it as it is. The length is perfect, which makes it very wearable.. We'll see what happens in the end.

These shoes... (sigh...) I love them. And I mean love as in true love. I would wear them all day and all night. Everyday.

They go so well with my cute Carolina Herrera handbag (thanks mum, again!)

Yes, in real life I do tend to be touching my hair all the time. Can't help it, but it's better than biting on my nails.

Who's happy?

I AM!!!!!!

Dancing about and in general being a bit silly.

Oh lovely "long" hair, as I have already told you previously I am loving chunky fringes.

I sometimes think about something and say to myself: Yup, let's do it... RIGHT NOW!!!!! Adn I will get up and to it that same moment, no second thought. It's great sometimes, but other times I just sit and tell myself off for being to impulsive and not taking a minute to go through the consequences....

I just hope that if this happens with the thought of chopping my hair to style a fringe, it happens on a Saturday late at night, when all the hairdressers are closed and I can't do anything about it until Monday. That would give me extra time to re-think my brilliant (or not) idea.

Right after this photo it started pouring down. It's funny how you can clearly see which were the first photos we took of this outfit and which were the last ones.

What I wore: 

Dress: HM

Coat: Zara (previously seen here)
Belt: Blanco
Handbag: Carolina Herrera (gift from my mum)
Booties: Jeffrey Campbell Lita in Taupe (previously seen here and here)

I had sushi on my Birthday

I love sushi.
I think it's a combination of the flavour and the lovely aesthetics that makes me like it so much.
Since Nino worked on my actual Birthday he decided to treat me with a special lunch the following Saturday.

I am 27 already. Wow.

So, while I got some things done, he went to get some yummy food from my favourite places in Valencia and took them home.
We had sushi from "Japón punto es" and Chinese food from "La casita de madera".



My absolute favourite Chinese dish is rice with shiitake mushrooms and bamboo, wrapped in water lily leaves.
It is SO good... yum.





I was super excited about all the food, so forgot to take photos of all what we ate...
The sushi we had was: cucumber, salmon (for nino), california rolls, pickeled rutabaga, assorted japanese pickles, beetroot.
Nino even got some authentic Japanese beer. Saporo is very nice, love the taste, but my favourite one is still Tsing-Tao, a Chinese brand. If you haven't tried is I fully recommend you to do so!




That evening Nino convinced me to go to the cinema to watch "The Avengers" in 3D. Not sure what to say about that film. I am not very into super-hero stuff.
It was... interesting.
To me, the best part was Thor, the worst Robert Downey, Jr..
That's my film review. Ha!
Any way, took this photo while on my motorbike (Nino was driving). We were on calle la Paz and the building you can see in the background is the Miguelete, which you already saw here and here I wasn't perfectly able to catch the beauty of the colours of the sunset, but I do remember them.



What would be a nice post without some clothes in them?
Cute feet shot of what I wore that evening. It rained all afternoon so I got to wear my comfy water boots (by Gioseppo) and my super bright flowered skirt. And my most favourite handbag, as usual.



And that in (very) short what we did.
Hope you enjoyed it. I loved it.
Simple things make me the happiest.
