Seems like I'm still stucked on the Olympic feeling. As I've been obsessed with satchel bags lately, and for flag merchandising as you know, this cutie was just the perfect accesory for me. I don't really like huge bags that are almost as big as I'm, but I've also been in a love-hate relationship with clutches and tiny bags where I can't carry all my stuff. So, this bag also has the perfect size: I can carry my sunnies, purse (it matches the bag, haha) and lipstick into it.

I chose this outfit for going window shopping (although I finally bought some things at Primark and Tommy Hilfiger... Shopaholic me) and have a peaceful evening at Bonaire shopping centre. It's a huge mall, outdoors and more or less at 20 min by car from Valencia. I usually prefer going nearer home, but as it is being too warm and windless, we decided to go to this place where we know it would be fresher (although as it is outdoors so there's no air conditioning). I'm also returning to my routine this following week, so I think this is the last time I had some peace outside, without worrying about if it's too late or I have to return home because I have work to do. Don't get me wrong: I'm quite happy, because I'll be training again this week, I'll see my cute fencing friends again and so on, but I'm sure I'll miss stay just doing nothing. Additionaly, I'm sure I won't have so much time to post here, because this year I want to be very, very focused on my University's first year, fencing and on my boyfriend and friends as well.

Ok then. About the outfit... The white shorts were absolutely a bargain at Zara. They're not my usual size, but they fit quite well, and I love how they make me look super thin (maybe because they're high-waisted? I don't know). The red beads necklace is from my mum's. She said it was bought about 30 years ago, and was forgotten on the bottom of a box in the closet. The high wedges/espadrilles came from Pepe Jeans. Sales. Sales everywhere. I saw them at the first days of sales, but didn't try them on, and I just became obsessed about them. Finally got them a couple weeks ago. They're quite comfy, but as my feet are so sensitive, I must wear them with adhesive strips and bands to avoid unwanted sores.

Let me say I discovered this online site via different lookbookers, who wore dresses from there and well... I just became curious about.

This store is based in China, and has more things than just clothing. Electronic gadgets, sport stuff... The first thing I noticed is that you can see the same product on different pages, with very different prices, similar to eBay. So you must look carefully, because you can save some money. This is the interesting part, because thanks I didn't pay too much for what I ordered, I don't have any objetions with the price/quality relationship offered on the two dresses and the coat.

Let's talk about trends today. Since I don't want to fill all the blog out with my outfits and my life, I want to share with you some ideas to start this 2012-2013 season. When season changes, I always like to keep in mind what is worth to buy and what not, because you know there're some items that can be easily used for years and years. Others not. So, I'll be featuring this Oasap products for you (pretty affordable!) on this post, to have a first impression about the season!

Remember my last post about the Max Azria dress? So, a few days ago after posting it I received a couple of emails asking me how I did my makeup for the ''shooting'' and some comments about my Union Jack purse. I don't really think my makeup is so awesome, there may be lots of bloggers which makeup tutorials would smash my eye makeup routine, but I wanted to do it as an answer of the mails.

So, you'll see it's very simple. Here's a zoom of my eye makeup: first of all I use a random primer, so the colors are fixed and last for hours. Then I apply with a medium eye shadow brush the number 2 shade on my Maybelline Brown Smokey Eye palette all over my lid. Then under my eyebrow bone and under my eye I apply the number 3 shade of the same palette, or even the 4 if I want a more dramatic effect. Then blur it.
Then, a medium-thick line in black with the eyeliner automatic pen (I like to make a little wing on the corner of the eye) and lots, lots of mascara. I use Chanel Inimitable mascara in black. And that's it!

Days in Oropesa are passing by. It's extremely warm here, and all I want to do is go to the swimming pool, sleep and read. As I'm having family here spending some days (you know, no help is too much to fix the things on the house!) yesterday afternoon my aunt and I went to have a walk downtown. Oropesa has a castle above a mountain (we can see it from our terrace) and the antique town is peaceful and lovely, full of ascendent and descendent streets (ideal to keep fit in summer, as I'm doing!).

I must say that I didn't chose the following outfit to climb that streets. This outfit with the white dress and gold sandals was actually worn to come here by train, but I thought this was the perfect occasion to show you some pictures of this town between the ocean and mountains, and what I'm doing here. I also wanted to show you my completed room here, redesigned and filled up with London motifs, which coincidence or not, goes with the Olympic topic, haha.
