Downtown Valencia and super warm weather. Temperatures have been almost like summer, and although we're already on mid-October it's only been two days ago since I wore my shorts, T-shirts and no tights dresses. People is still going to the beach, I still literally die every time I go out of classes at noon (carrying tons of things with me, as always) and I can't wait for the day my jackets and cozy sweaters get out the closet. I won't believe it when that day finally arrives.

Meanwhile, not everything feels bad. After this past summer, when I've been stuck between situations on a contrast where it was better to not worry that much about clothing but just put on your shorts, sneakers and feel the moment, feels good again to rock the city on a more feminine and chic look. This black and white skater dress had been on my wardrobe for awhile. It's one of those pieces that maybe don't claim for attention, but it's a basic and will always stay there to solve the eternal and feared question ("What to wear today?"). As it's plain color, you can mix it with different color schemes and put accessories to it. Orange is nice, isn't it?

Talking about season and mood changes, maybe here're the last pictures where you can see me with long hair! You already saw me with my new haircut here. Not too short, but easier to style so I love it.

Do you prefer plain colors? Do you have that "savior" piece on your closet too?

Fashion week-esque outfit. Second day of local Fashion Week, and not really passionate about the "streetstyle" around and the general lack of unique style, original pieces, outfits and wannabe teenagers wearing 17cm heels, I decide to reveal against all this and wear this mix inspired by the latest Dolce & Gabanna shows creating a vibrant yet classy interpretation of the shows seen on Milan. Such a lucky girl I felt for finding this D&G neoprene fabric on a local fabric store, and turn it into a DIY circle skirt just in time!

We suffered from a really weird weather during those fashion days, and you could leave home on a super cloudy sky filled with cold air, but then arrive downtown to face that it wasn't raining anymore, and it started being warm again. That didn't make things easy at all. Add spending some hours between show and show, running from here to there, taking pictures while being as aware as possible to every single detail, and you had the perfect "I died because of tiredness" cocktail. It was great, but maybe next season I won't stay all the Fashion Week thing. Anyway, and at least during second day I was still able to wear high heels (as you can see). Some sparkly accessories to achieve that fairytale princess look D&G's been showing, and some black to balance the outfit. Unintentionally I attracted plenty of attraction, I think mostly because of the skirt.

I think that was the day I was spotted as a fashion blogger at first sight.

Last day of Valencia Fashion Week. Our 3 chaotic fashion-centric days at the local Fashion Week ended with this shows which were the final bang to the new Spring/Summer season collections. Some of the most established designers around Valencia like Eugenio Loarce, María Cózar Couture and Anillarte  were in charge to close not only this three day staging, but also a whole year of hard work, fittings and tests to check that everything is perfect, to assure that every piece will be a success.

On a Fashion Week whose main characters have been emerging designers, enjoying shows featuring pieces made by designers with lots of years on their back just felt like seeing schoolmasters teaching how it all works to their pupils. The contrast was interesting and engaging at the same time.

Signs of delicacy, elegance and softness were constant. María Cózar Couture was in charge to close this XVII Valencia Fashion Week, on a super crowded show preceded by the Awards given to designers and their collections, including the new designers and the Zona D. A show full of lace, super flowy patterns modeling soft and romantic silhouettes.  

Hidden on the nook under the stairs of Place Valencia you can find Colette's corner. Full of elegant and sober details, you can find almost anything you're looking for if it comes to designer pieces, leather goods or chic and elegant accessories as the huge amount of cufflinks featured at Colette's showcases. It is always worth it visiting this place and be guided through the amounts of new clothing pieces by Carmen, its manager.

On our urge to shoot this pictures featuring the new Autumn/Winter collection to give all of you some ideas and show you the newest pieces to lust for this season, we put together this festive look to wear on parties, events and even New Year's Eve! Dark shades with some sparks on this Georges Rech dress, the glamour and Old Hollywood vibes added by this fur neck with spices of animal print.

But personally, I think the best pieces ever at Carmen's corner are her cufflink trays full of craftsmanship pieces to wear on your double cuff shirts or dresses, which will always add a really special and different touch to any of your looks. Believe me, since I discovered them I can't get over those little sparkly accessories, and seems like everyone is surprised to see them on my wrists!

What about you, did you ever heard about cufflinks? Have you ever worn a pair? What do you think of this mix of pieces for an event?

Getting back to first day of local Fashion Week. It's incredible how it doesn't really matter where you are placed on the world, a Fashion Week is always a Fashion Week, and that means impossible outfits and certain people clamoring around for attention with their looks. Sometimes I've even wondered if there's a kind of non-written code on "What to wear on fashion month". Looks like the stranger the thing you're wearing, the best.

Anyway. That's only my honest opinion. During all the three days full of shows and craziness, I've been accompanied by the nice duo behind Fashionart, the fashion club and platform Made in Valencia which is always keeping up with the local news about style, and designers who are around our city via their fan page. I think we had a really great time talking about streetsyle, shows and fashion in general, as we did watching every show!

We had the chance to see some shows on the front row, and take nice pictures because of that! As the weather has been a bit crazy lately, I decided to go on the classy and simple outfit with this palazzo pants and kimono from local designer Benavente. Finally it didn't rain, thank goodness, because those pants were too long (I have to fix them!) and rain would have ruined all the look. Maybe I went a little bit too much for the japanese samurai outfit but, I think it finally ended looking nice! I think it's the first time I got to wore that kimono on a way I really liked.

Then, simple accessories as my pearl earrings and matching necklace to create a minimalistic but comfortable outfit to spend the whole evening. Alluring but not excessive, don't you think?

Thanks to Eduardo for the pictures!

Gabriel Seguí GS ESSENCE'S LIVE. Maybe the most massive show at #17VFW as I think at least half of the city of Valencia was staring at the models wearing Gabriel Seguí's leather and fur pieces. So, first of all, I want to congratulate him and all the crew behind the brand for achieving such amount of people interested not only on their collection and all the work behind, but also get involved into fashion and design world. Also, say thanks for the invitation to the show which we enjoyed very much. I even danced to the soundtrack!

The collection was based on the essence of the brand, which is the craftsmanship on leather. They've been working for 30 years on the design of leather and fur pieces, and GS has become a relevant brand into the Spanish fashion market. The key is to reinvent the patterns and production not only to create a nice and high quality product, but also an experience.

Six basic colors and leather seen from almost all points of view. Metallics and a warm palette paired with leather turbans and necks. Congratulations for the show!
