SHOPPING ROUND OXFORD CIRCUS

London is shop paradise. There are thousands of places were you can find exclusive brands, vintage clothes, multinationals or goth accesories.

The most popular place to shop is Oxford Street, although it's mostly multinationals. At the beggining (if you start from the right side of the street, opposite to Hyde Park), you can find American Aparell, which is modern, minimalist clothing although the price varies from low to high). There is also a very big Primark, H&M ad many other multinationals. Totally recommend stopping at Urban Outfitters, which you can also find in Camden, where you can find very stylish or vintage clothing at a medium cost, also, you can find weird but fun books, many books and home stuff (chains, cushions, carpets...).

After you arrive to Oxford circus and you can head down to Regent Street, where the more posh shops are. There is Hamleys, a luxury toyshop with amazing felttips (shoutout to the guy who let me try them) and it has the most awesome toys ever but way too expensive. By the way this is very important because everyone who goes there is like "Where the heck is Victoria's Secret??!!" and it's not too hard to find. You have to go to Regent Street from Oxford Circus and go into the first St on the left (I think the name is Prince St. or something like that) and you keep going until you reach Hanover Square and go round it to Brook Street, keep going and you reached it!

Back to Regent there is a Michael Kors (handbags are bae) and Juicy Couture, as well as Burberry, Zara... and Hollister which is quite a long way from Oxford Circus so don't get desperate if you do not reach it in five minutes. There is a Godiva shop, where you can buy the best belgian shopping (even shopaholics need some rest, AND FOOD).

And continuing with Oxford Street past Oxford Circus, you can find River Island, which although it sometimes seems very expensive and too futuristic, if you look well you will find extremely cute things. I got a sweater for 20 pounds and it matches lot's of my clothes and gives a classy look (i am wearing it in my post about shopping in L.A in the pic with the pink shorts at Universal). And then it's many big companies like Forever 21, Zara, Pull and Bear etcforaloongtime until you reach Selfridges, which is a big building full of the most luxurious brands. Strongly advise you to go to Tiffany and Co which has the most fine jewellery and the employees are very nice, or take a look in the Rolex shop (there was a watch costing over 34.000 pounds). If you want something more affordable you should go to the Magnum shop where you can create your own ice cream for about 6 pounds. The Selfridges building itself is very nice and the displays in the showcase are amazing, each month they are changed and have themes and are a sight worth watching.

Then there is TOPSHOP, that i find very expensive although it has some cute things, specially shoes and accesories, but don't buy jeans or sweaters because they are expensive and you can find others much cuter in other places.

Love to all classycats xxxxxxx

Los Brownies no son un dulce

El otro día por Madrid descubrí por la calle Lagasca el paraíso del estilo juvenil dulce y desenfadado, y que es estilosísima.

La tienda se llama BROWNIE SPAIN y es una marca catalana creada en 2006. Vende ropa, bolsos y calzado para chicas jóvenes y últimamente ha recibido colaboraciones de Alba Carrillo y Miranda Makaroff. 

Podéis visitar su página web en www.browniespain.com , donde puedes ver las campañas, shop online y las tiendas Brownie en España, que están localizadas en Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Zaragoza, Santander, Bilbao y Palma de Mallorca

Recomiendo muchísimo esta marca si sois chicas jóvenes y os gusta un estilo con prendas informales pero con mucha clase. Brownie apuesta por las camisas sueltas y en tonos claros, y prendas en tonos muy combinables y sólo usa los estampados en algunas blusas y faldas. Son prendas que hacen que parezca que no te lo hayas pensado demasiado al salir de casa y aún así sean muy elegantes

TOP: Destacan las faldas cortas de invierno, sueltas o más pegadas en tonos oscuros (de gris a verde oscuro o granate), así como ls blusas con la espalda abierta, que siempre da un toque con mucha clasey los jerseys, en tonos neutros y combinables y con aspecto de ser muy calentitos.

BOTTOM: Algo caros los jerseys (55 euros media) aunque la calidad lo vale.



Besitos a todas xxxxxxxxx

Start

So this was my first post in Spanish and I'm going to traduce it for you guys xxxxx

So basically this blog is about fashion and I know there are thousands of them out there but I really like clothes and style and try to do this one. 


Lot's of times we comment that a girl has a very bad sense of style. "Having a bad sense of style" is very subjective (and no offence plz but girls can be real bitches and just get faults out of nowhere)  let's face it, there are, like, lot's of different styles that have nothing to do with each other and suit different people.


Style depends on people's character or how they feel but all trends are valid (except some "things" that cannot be considered clothes at all and that I will talk about later). What fashion really is consists of going out feeling beautiful and great.


I hope this blog grows, in it we will comment new trends, give advice and styles, as well as commenting brands so you can find your perfect clothes.



Love bebes xxxxxxxx

Tigers Travel Too

Los Angeles babes. Okay so I spent 3 weeks at L.A and I just wanted to thank the awesome people I met there (All Americans are baes, believe me).

 

I wanted to just say the best shopping places and tips if you go to the States and want to return looking great (and with tons of new clothes).

AMERICANA: So Americana is this extremely big and amazing shopping mall located at Glendale. It has movie theaters, restaurants (Cheesecake Factory was amazing) and lots of shops.

Shops at Americana are:

Urban Outfitters- Hipster clothing for men and women, as well as modern furniture, posters, games and books.

Price: Medium.

UGG Australia: The worldwide famous chic and supercozy boots, very fashionable.
Price: High.

ILORI Eyewear Boutique: Luxury eyewear. It offers great brands as Dolce and Gabanna, Ray-Ban or Tiffany & Co.
Price: High

There is also a Forever 21, American Eagle Outfitters, Calvin Klein... also, it is located near a big shopping mall that has a Victoria's Secret, Hollister, Macy's...





 
I also went to the SANTA MONICA PROMENADE, which is extremely beautiful and near the beach.

The most amazing shop I found there was Brandy Melville, that was more and less cheap and had very fashionable and hipster clothing so I totally recommend it if you don't have a lot of money and you like hipster clothing.

There's also Abercrombie, that is much cheaper in the USA than in other European countries (as Spain and the UK) so if you like the brand a must for you is to buy something in the USA as it is so much cheaper.

You can go to Adidas Shoes, so if you have to buy sport shoes that is the best mark (although it is expensive, but if you prefer quality that's the best you can get). If you go there looking for shoes you must also go to Clarks (classic and stylish) or if you like more informal shoes to Converse or Sketchers.

There is a Victoria's Secret if you are looking for underwear, and it also sells "PINK" sports and casual clothes (PINK is the new Victoria's Secret brand that has yoga clothes) it is expensive but not too way too much. I bought a sweater for 44$ and there are casual dresses at 32$ or so.


I visited Universal Studios and was very surprised to see there is a shopping promenade near to it. It has Abercrombie and Guess but my best discovery was ANGL (note the name plz).  THE BRAND HAS NOT PAID ME ANYTHING TO WRITE THIS OKAY? OKAY.

 I had no idea about the brand but I absolutely loved the clothes. They are extremely stylish and is not too expensive. I loved the tops with open back, they were casual yet hipster and I loved them, the dresses were very cute, always in pastel tones (except the ones with print) and some where casual but very chic and others stylish, and there are sales (up to 75% off).
Totally recommend angle and thats weird because I usually stick with Brandy Melville, Abercrombie, Zara (so multinationals basically) and this was my great US discovery. You can check the webpage www.shopangl.com . 

Unfortunately still it does not ship clothes internationally but if you go to the States check if there is a store near you.


 
Hope I help if you visit California babes xxxxxx

A esto me referia o lo que no se debe hacer

En mi primer post decía que todos los estilos eran válidos menos unas pocas excepciones. Bueno. Hoy he encontrado una. Y con forma de Cara Delenvigne que es una chica que aunque no sea convencionalmente "guapa" para mi es muy ideal.

El caso son los GQ awards, a los que va y se presenta con esto. Yo lo siento mucho porque es muy inadecuado para unos premios y más que parecer moderna o con clase, parece que se ha puesto un velo de encaje encima de un bikini. Muchos la disculparan porque ella no lo ha escogido, sino que la han vestido así, pero sinceramente, yo no dejo que me vistan así por mucho que me paguen así que menos enseñar cacho y más amor propio.

ESTILO MIAU

Camden Town

A while ago I was in London and visited the most amazing place i've ever been to. Seriously. Camden Town is located above Oxford Street, the SoHo and the commercial areas in London but is seriously awesome. This is my first post in English so I'm going to try and make it interesting and that.

In Camden you can find the most amazing food ever. I had pizza from a stand called "Bellisima Italia" (by the way the lady was super nice) and it was the freaking best pizza i've had in my life, and it was cheap so WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR?????? There are also lot's of types of Thai Food and they give you some free so you try it (my friends kept walking by the Thai stands and they ended up eating for free so.....)

There is also the Camden Market in which you can find thousands of teeshirts, dresses, vintage clothing, imitation items of great brands... for me the best part were the Game of Thrones "I am not a princess, I'm a Khaleesi" tees. There are lots of things for freaky people, no offence plz (Star Wars andd GOT stuff mostly).

When you cross a bridge to get into the Camden Lock there is an entrance to a market in the right and if you keep going and you turn left there is a shop that is called "American Clothing", and they sell Abercrombie, Hollister and Jack Wills clothes and very cheap (I got a Hollister shirt for 15 pounds). Totally recommend it because it has huge amounts of stock and it is great for making a present (no one has to now the Abercrombie skirt was from an outlet).

And if you love Vintage clothes inside the Camden Lock (past a horse statue and down the stairs) there are amazing vintage clothing stores, like, seriously amazing. I found Levi's high rised shorts at 15 pounds (extremely hipsters), crop tops straight from the 80's, old converses (please note i think almost all is 2nd hand, except the shorts, i think) but if you like vintage clothes it's great for you.

There are also lots of goth shops (platform boots and dresses) so if you like that style it's the best place to find clothing. But if you want the typical clothing shops as American Apparel, American Outfitters, Vans and Superga, they are next to the Underground Station.

Vintage, Starbucks y Gafas de Pasta

 Probablemente al oír estas tres palabras lo que se os venga a la cabeza sea: Hipster. Un movimiento o moda que comenzó hace un par de años. La imagen que tiene la gente de los hipsters es que llevan gafas de pasta, ropa vintage y pasan la mayor parte de su tiempo en Starbucks, que cuenta con wifi gratis y es ideal para subir las mil fotos que se han hecho con la "canon" a tumblr. Es bastante equivocado si nadie conoce la historia completa porque, a ver, pobres hipsters, ni son unos obsesos del wifi, ni se pintan bigotes para hacerse fotos.

La cultura hipster se aferra a un estilo de vida alternativo, que está muy bien en esta sociedad en la que todos somos muy monótonos. Lo digo porque hace un par de meses estuve en Los Ángeles y veía a la gente vestir de manera muy "rara" pero luego pensé que en España todos vestimos igual (Zara es el cielo de la ropa, y últimamente se está volviendo bastante más carillo, y estamos en crisis, así que...) y que si esas personas se sienten bien vistiendose de manera diferente deben seguir su propio estilo y mandar a ****** a los que piensen lo contrario. Perdón, que estoy divagando y esto es un blog sobre moda y tal.

Para las personas que estén pensando en seguir este estilo, yo les diría que lo pensasen bien. Si eres alguien que siempre te has sentido un poco al margen, te gusta la música antigua, y no piensas como el "mainstream" (la mayoría de la gente) este estilo te va bastante bien.

En cuanto al vestir (porfin llega). Algunos hipsters llevan ropa muy vintage, mientras que otros prefieren lo moderno.


MODERNGOTH

Los hipsters más jóvenes (los "tumblr") suelen llevar tonos oscuros, granates y negros sobretodo. Los vestidos babydoll (de falda con vuelo) son populares entre las chicas, así como las zapatillas Vans. Llevan pequeñas "backpacks" o mochilitas, y bastantes colgantes. Estos elementos combinan perfectamente y dan un aire bastante desenfadado y con clase. Recomiendo la ropa de Brandy Melville, American Apparel o Forever 21

TOTAL VINTAGE

El estilo original hipster es mucho más "a la antigua". Estos JAMÁS los verás con "backpacks", sino con mochilas estilo "mensajero" cruzadas por delante. Las botas country y los chalecos de cuero también son populares, así como los vaqueros estilo años ochenta, . En las chicas, el hipster "vintage" no se diferencia mucho de otro, ya que ambos usan los shorts de tiro alto y los "crop tops" como imprescindibles en el verano. En los chicos se diferencia más en que los más modernos llevan camisetas con grupos de música, skinny jeans y vans, mientras que los vintage suelen llevar camisas de cuadros, y prendas de cuero (ya sean zapatos, chalecos de cuero...). En el mercadillo de Camden Town se encuentran chollazos (shorts de Levis a 15 libras) pero también hay marcas como Hollister o Converse

Comienzos

¡Hola a todas!

Probablemente haya infinitos blogs de moda y este tan sólo sea uno más pero habrá que intentarlo.
Muchas veces se ha podido comentar de alguien, sea un famoso o una persona que conozcamos, que "viste mal". Eso de vestir mal es muy subjetivo, además las chicas (tranquilidad, que nadie se ofenda) si queremos dejar a alguien por los suelos, algo vamos a encontrar. 
El estilo de alguien depende mucho de cómo sea o cómo se sienta en ese momento. Si es cierto que hay conjuntos que no deberían existir, más que nada por respeto hacia los que los llevan. Pero todos los estilos son válidos salvo esas excepciones. Con sentirse guapa, segura y salir pisando bien fuerte por la puerta ya estás bonita.
 Espero que este blog vaya creciendo poco a poco. En él comentaremos conjuntos, haremos avances de las nuevas tendencias y daremos consejos para que ninguna nos sintamos acomplejadas, ya que lo valemos. También recomendaremos nuevas marcas, ya que puedes encontrar nuevos estilos que te encanten y decidir adoptarlos.

Disfrutadlo muchisimo!!!! xxxx
