ONLINE SHOPPING: BEATRIZ FUREST

Tengo buenas noticias!! La tienda online de Betriz Furest esta de rebajas!!

El otro día me llegó un mail avisándome de que ya estaban de rebajas, así que voy a compartir con vosotras mis piezas favoritas de la colección. Yo aún estoy planteándome cuál comprarme, por que ¡¡me gustan todos!!

"Su predilección por ‘ver cómo destaca lo novedoso entre lo más clásico’ la llevó a experimentar con diferentes formas, patrones, pieles y combinaciones de color. Así nació un estilo propio que se reinventa cada temporada sin perder nunca su esencia."

Modelo Carlota (me encanta en ambos colores)

Bolso de piel de cordero para llevar de hombro o cruzado.
Debajo de la hebilla lleva un imán para facilitar la apertura del bolso.
Bolsillo interior cerrado con cremallera y otro para el móvil.
Bolsillo exterior bajo de la solapa.
Forro de cuadros de vichy 100% algodón.

Modelo Out of Africa (me iria ideal con mi falda de topos mostaza)

Bolso de piel de ante para llevar de hombro o cruzado.

El asa larga es regulable y la corta es decorativa.

Bajo la solapa se cierra con cremallera.

Bolsillo interior cerrado con cremallera y otro para el móvil.

Forro interior de cuadros vichy 100% algodón.

Modelo Dartañan (un color increíble)

Bolso de piel de cordero con cierre de mosquetón grande.
En el interior se cierra con un imán.
Asa de vaqueta de color marrón oscuro.

Modelo Marraquesh ( ay el turquesa!! se nota que me gusta el colorido, eh?)

Bolso de piel de cordero para llevar de hombro o cruzado.

Debajo de la hebilla lleva un imán para facilitar la apertura del bolso y un bolsillo extra.

Bolsillo interior cerrado con cremallera y otro para el móvil.

Forro interior de cuadros vichy 100% algodón.

¡Y además tiene fulares! ¡Y muchos modelos de bolsos más!

Si os animáis a echar un vistazo pasaros por beatrizfurest.com que seguro que encontráis algo que os guste. Tienen un montón de cosas chulas y me ha encantado conocer esta marca. Ya me contaréis si cae algo, jajaja. Por mi parte seguro que si.

Ale, me voy a seguir estudiando a ver si acabo ya de una vez.

Summer-Spring weddings & celebrations

Summer & Spring are quite hectic when it comes to celebrations: weddings, graduations, here we also have 1st communions...and we're all supposed to be fabulous (and dress differently!) for each and one of these occasions. But the economy is nowhere near boyant, so we have tried to summarize some ideas in this post, in order to make it easier (and less expensive!!) to look great for those special celebrations this spring.

Como sabéis, la primavera y el verano están llenos de celebraciones y compromisos: bodas, graduaciones, primeras comuniones...y se espera que estemos fabulosas y perfectas en cada una de ellas. Sin embargo, la economía (especialmente la nuestra) está lejos de estar en auge (no está el horno para bollos), así que hemos decidido intentar recoger algunas ideas en este post para estar tan estupendas como siempre (pero por menos dinero!!) para las ocasiones especiales que tengamos este año.

1. KEEP IT SIMPLE.

When it comes to the dress keep it simple. If you buy something with lots of detail this is going to bring the prices up. Considder a simpler dress in a nice but cheaper fabric such as chiffon. Love has some great and affordable options with amazing and flattering cuts & colours, for LOVE dresses check here.

Other great options to shop from, if you want something economic but don't want to appear at the wedding and find your cousin and 3 other guests wearing the same dress as you because you got it from Zara, are online shops such as ASOS or even Topshop for us who don't live in the uk.

2. INVEST IN PIECES YOU CAN USE AGAIN.

If you are going to spend more money, make sure it is on something you will wear again. You will be able to do so by buying a simpler dress like the ones above, that you can complete with great accessories to make it more special. Another option is to buy a more expensive dress that is a staple, a LBD or a LWD could do the trick (not the lWD for a wedding of course!), since you could use them afterwards for work meetings, reunions, or a fancy dinner with friends or your lover.

3. RENT AN OUTFIT.

Even though this is a common practice in many countries, this idea is starting to penetrate in countries like Spain, where it is starting to be more and more popular. In Bilbao, you can find stores such as our friends from Chez Elle, where you will be able to rent out great outfits and accessories for your events.

4. ACCESSORIZE SMARTLY.

Accessories are a great and unexpensive way to make your look special. With a simple dress but statment accessories you can really stand out for your originality and good taste. A very good option for these kinds of events are headpieces, and we personally love floral hair wreaths and hair pins, for their lovely whimsical / spring effect.
We would like to recommend three Etsy stores that make the most beautiful handmade hair pieces:

AmoreBride

This is in fact a part of my graduation outfit, I will show you pictures

of that day and the outfit of course in a couple weeks!! :)

The Honey Comb

Mignonne Handmade

Another good option would be COLOUR BLOCKING, using shiny colours to add contrast to your dress/ outfit and give your look a special touch. I (Saturday) personally love how neons such a yellow, turquoise or coral can do this trick for you. Not only are neons huge this season, but they will allways be a useful tool in your wardrobe in order to amp up any look. Be it autumn, winter, summer or spring, a touch of colour can make the difference both for a casual or for a more dressed up look.

Topshop

Zara

Asos

H & M

Modclothing

A great thing about buying a cheaper dress and statement accessories, is that you can use all of those elements for other occassions, and even combine and mix them to make new looks for summer-spring events. No one will notice you wore the same dress twice, because the accessories are the protagonists in these looks.

5. DO IT YOURSELF / Wedding DIY.

When it comes to accessories, many can be made by oneself with little effort and a bit of patience. There are tons of blog posts and tutorials on the subject, and in fact we will be posting a very interesting DIY for jewellery in the following weeks.
Save money on the hairdresser and make up, DIY. There are also tons of youtube tutorials on how to make some great hairdo's that will make your look very very special. You can check our first tutorial we posted some weeks ago here. Practice beforehand and try some of these hairdo's, then you are ready to choose one and wear fabulous hair to your event.
Another idea is to rework some dresses/pieces you wore previously. With a little bit of imagination and patience great things can be done. You can add appliques, beads, lace...change the front, sleeves, cut a long dress into a short one...even dye it if you are careful (depending on fabric!).

Hope you find these ideas useful and you have a great time on this season's celebrations!!

Much love,

The Weekenders

FASHION OVER THE WORLD: Argyle and Oxford

Hola a todos! Hoy quería hablaros sobre la nueva colección que sacará próximamente una amiga mía de Yakarta. Empezó su empresa en 2010 como un proyecto en la carrera de diseño de moda, y ha sido todo un éxito!! Dos años después siguen trabajando para sacar adelante colecciones tan fantásticas como ésta:

Hey Everybody! Today I wanted to tell u about the new collection a friend from Yakarta ha will launch in few time. She started her business like a project from university (she studies fashion design) and she´s already a huge success! Two years later they keep on working to come out with fantastic collections like this:

Argyle & Oxford was born from a simple mind of two friends in college. Started as an assignment while they studying in LaSalle college Jakarta, and then when they graduated and got nothing to do they decided to take parts in LaSalle college's "Public announcement" show in Jakarta fashion week 2010. After that the brand grows quick and started to gain attention. At that time these two friends started to think to make it as a real deal.

Finally, here we are "Argyle & Oxford". The name came from pattern Argyle and pattern of Oxford/brogues shoes. Argyle and Oxford also known as Argy the deer and Oxy the sheep, they were best friends since they're in their mother's womb. They both love cute, detailed and colorful things. They make clothes and accessories to cheer up your day.

Dedicated to girls who just want to have fun

This is her self presentation. They make very special clothes with a cute but unsual style :)

Un poco de su colección: Adolescence with a twist

We hope u liked it!!!!
