Rainy Wedding Look

Hola chicos!!

Después de un tiempo sin postear looks míos (la vida se complica cuando llegan los exámenes y con la búsqueda de trabajo!!) vuelvo con un look para un día que resultó algo complicado. Tuve una boda hace un par de semanas y planeaba llevar algo mucho más primaveral, pero el tiempo se nos puso en contra y además de lluvia, hizo bastante frío y viento. En vista del panorama, tuve que improvisar algo que no fuera muy invernal pero que no supusiera tampoco helarme de frío. El resultado fue el que veis en este post, escogí un vestido de ASOS que tenía y me encanta, y lo combiné con un bolso de Topshop y zapatos negros de Nine West. Es un look bastante sencillo, pero quería algo juvenil y tampoco demasiado recargado ya que era una boda civil pequeña y tampoco hay que dar la nota. Esta semana os enseñaré las fotos de mi look para mi licenciatura, lo cierto que era bastante más veraniego y el tiempo acompañó.
Un beso,

Saturday

 

Hi there!!

After some time without posting my own looks (life gets complicated with exams and job seeking), I am back with a look for a day that turned out to be quite complicated in terms of clothing.

I was invited to a wedding a couple weeks ago, and I planned to wear something with a more spring-like feeling, but the weather got in the way, it was not only rainy, but also windy and cold. As a result, I had to try and put something that wasn't too wintery together, but I didn't want to freeze either. I ended up wearing what you can see in this post: an embellished ASOS dress (which I LOVE btw), with a Topshop handbag and Nine West black shoes. It is quite a simple look, but I wanted to weat something young and uncomplicated, since it was a small, non religious wedding. This week I will show you the pictures of the outfit I wore to my graduation last week. And don't worry, it was much more colourfull, and the weather was lovely so I was able to wear something more appropriate for the season.

Big love,

Saturday

LOCODECO: Great ideas, great friends!!

Today, I have the pleasure to introduce you to a brand new website and business:

LOCODECO is a beautiful online furniture and decoration store owned by a very good friend of mine, Lirios (Lili for friends & family), who has been impresively brave and has started her own business being a young female enterpreneur in Spain in these times of crisis. Truly remarkable, right?!

The items they sell are high quality, very modern and fashionable, and since they are an online store, they can afford to give you better prices and offers than more traditional stores. I like the idea of an online store because it combines better prices, with an easy and convenient purchase (avoiding the neverending lines and walking around like zombies in Ikea). 

Their website is: www.locodeco.es/  and I would also like to recommend their lovely blog: http://locodeco.es/blog/  In their blog you can find many great decor ideas, but also DIY ideas and inspiration.

Hope you like it!! Much love,

Saturday

Hoy tengo el placer de presentaros una nueva página web y negocio:

LOCODECO es una tienda online de muebles y decoración verdaderamente preciosa. Su dueña es una muy buena amiga mía, Lirios (Lili para los amigos), que ha sido increíblemente valiente, abriendo su negocio en estos tiempos de crisis tan difíciles para España, pero también por ser una emprendedora muy joven y mujer. No sé qué os parecerá el asunto...pero a mí desde luego me parece impresionante, y que tiene un espíritu muy necesario en tiempos como éste, hay que arriesgarse y trabajar duro por lo que uno quiere (a ver si se nos pega algo!). 

Sigo contándoos el asunto de su tienda. Se trata de una tienda online que vende muebles y elementos decorativos de calidad, modernos y de moda. Sin embargo, lo que verdaderamente les diferencia es ser una tienda exclusivamente online, lo que les permite ofrecer mejores  precios que las tiendas tradicionales. Además personalmente me encanta la idea de una tienda online, porque la compra resulta mucho más sencilla, la comparación entre diferentes productos es también más fácil y clara...y en definitiva te evitas las colas y el caminar dando vueltas como un zombie en Ikea, y a ese vendedor pesado de las tiendas caras que va a comisión e intenta obligarte a comprar algo.

Su página web es www.locodeco.es/  y también os aconsejo visitar su blog, http://locodeco.es/blog/

En él podéis encontrar estupendas ideas de decoración y de DIY, pero sobre todo mucha inspiración, y a una chica simpatiquísima (Lili) encantada de responder a todas vuestras dudas y comentar y compartir ideas de decoración. 

Espero que os guste!! Un beso,

Saturday

Some german friends of our family came to Bilbao to pay a visit so we took them to the Nerua restaurant, right at the Guggenheim Museum.

Beautiful, huh?

After a delicious meal we had some coffee on the roof terrace, because we were having such a nice weather!!

And they bought me some gifts!! =)

A Davidoff Cool Water Shower breeze and a super cute makeup bag!

It´s cute even on the inside!!!

Isn´t it just a perfect day?

I was wearing:

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

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
