Traditions all the way

cking portada

                                      "May traditions always be kept" 

For a couple years we have been making our own ( healthier ) Xmas treats. I took a few pictures while my gorgeous mom was cooking the yummiest of treats. Wish you were here? I know, and that's the reason I am putting this post together.
Merry Christmas to all my readers, get excited because in 2014 this blog will become something a bit different, so stay tuned for that.


                              "Que las tradiciones perduren en el tiempo"

Desde hace unos años, hacemos nuestros propios dulces de Navidad en mi casa, que por supuesto son más sanos.  Me dediqué a tomar unas fotos durante mi labor de pinche, mientras mi preciosa madre cocinaba lo más rico que habréis visto en vuestras vidas. ¿Que pena que no estéis aquí, no? Lo se, y pienso dejar de dar envidia a la voz de ya, pero tú tienes que echar un vistazo a la obra de arte que os dejo aquí.
    Feliz Navidad a todos mis lectores y no paréis de visitarme porque para 2014 el blog va a tener ciertos cambios que no os podéis perder bajo ningún concepto.

The 19.00 Break

vintage 2b


                                     "They might be bigger, but we are faster and never scared"

This week all I have been able to say is: " I am tired". Final exams are here and I have been stressed and having a really rough time to get "in the zone" the previous days before an exam. Desperate needs claim for desperate measures so, I created my own "happy hour". No, it has nothing to do with alcohol, in fact it is the time I allowed myself to read as much as I wanted ( up to an hour) and sprayed my favourite perfume. It felt absolutely luxurious and soon became my best secret tool to ace my exams.

                                                     What have I been reading?

1 Teach me-Amy Lynn Steele:
This summer love story will keep you asking for more from the very first page. I just could not put this one down. Even though I felt like a was reading a book that the 15 year old me would have fancied, I absolutely enjoyed it. It got a bit cheesy at times, not gonna lie, but it was necessary because both of the characters are such hopeless romantics that they could not avoid those too-sweet-to-be-true lines. 
I think it is such a great gift for your own little sister, because it is full of life lessons that the teenage me could really have used.

                                              " Today, life has taught me there is a happily ever after"

2.The boy who sneaks in my bedroom window- Kirsty Moseley:
Who could resis to this title? Obviously, not me. This is my current read and another really sweet story. This one is a bit more slower than the other one, but in a very pleasant way. Trust me, you do not want the author to sum up this scenes. In fact, I often find myself imagining more of it. And that is a lot to say from someone who tends to rush between pages. It feels like a daily vacation when I read this book. I stop being Andrea and become this fearful female with a horrible past and a bright future. 
Every page is a lesson about how love should feel and how naturally it should arise. It makes sense why certain love stories don't success, because the most essential was missing, mutual unconditional support.

Christmas & The City

Christmas Palma

Me and one of my closest friends went for a morning out to explore the best shopping areas in our beautiful home town, Palma de Mallorca. But no morning out will be complete without our very favourite teas- Wild berries for me and iced tee for Marga. If you are in the mood for an amazing tea, Capuccino is your place.

Ayer me fui con una de mis amigas a explorar las mejores áreas de shopping the nuestra ciudad natal, Palma de Mallorca. Pero antes de empezar nuestra ajetreada mañana, hicimos una parada en Capuccino para tomar un té de frutas del bosque y un té helado, en el caso de Marga. Si buscáis un sitio dónde tomar un té de lo más exquisito, os lo recomendamos. Nosotras mismas nos dejamos ver por ahí muy a menudo.

Maybe, it is just me but fewer things in life I love more than a morning out in the city to relax. I love finding new places and carrying my camera with me, so that I can capture everything and bring it to my lovely readers #ILoveYou



Igual soy yo, pero hay pocas cosas que a mí me relajen tanto como una vuelta de buena mañana por la ciudad. Me gusta encontrar nuevas tiendas y llevar la cámara conmigo para poder mostrar por aquí todo lo que encuentro, en exclusiva para vosotros.

This is one of my favourite little corners it has Louis Vuitton and Uterqüe. I personally thing it is a must visit for fashionistas. On out way there, we were talking about how despite being such a little corner it is so incredibly eye catching.

Este es uno de nuestros rincones favoritos de la ciudad. De hecho de camino a él, lo iba comentando con Marga. A pesar de ser un rinconcito pequeño está cuidado al detalle para ser visualmente muy 
atractivo.

Talking about window displays, this one is from Loewe and could not be more eye catching. We had trouble to take a picture because of the amount of people that stopped in front of it to watch such a piece of artwork. I really loved how they gave the main role to a such little piece like a scarf, just by repeating the dotted print on the main elements of the display.

Hablando de efectos visuales, nos topamos con un escaparate especialmente original de la mano de Loewe. De hecho, tardamos bastante en poder tomar una simple foto porque no paraba de pasar gente y quedarse mirando este llamativo elefante con el  pañuelo. Me gustó muchísimo como conseguían darle protagonismo a algo tan pequeño como un pañuelo en un escaparate tan grande, repitiendo motivos del pañuelo a lo largo del escaparate, los lunares.

Here is my beautiful friend, Marga who was my photographer along with her boyfriend. Special thanks to both of you :)


Aquí tenéis a mi preciosa amiga, la cual fue mi fotógrafa del día junto a su novio. ¡Mil gracias desde aquí a los dos!

Last but not least I wanted to show you this little but absolutely stunning decòr shop, that has the most stunning unique pieces in this town. When you walk in it you feel the ecclectic mix of different vibes and styles,which for some reason, works together. It was one of our favourite places that we visited yesterday.

Y por último, pero no por eso menos importante, nos topamos con una tienda de decoración de lo más especial y acogedora. Cuando entras, te llama la atención la variedad de estilos y ambientes que recrean en un espacio relativamente reducido. Lo bien que encajaban a pesar de su disparidad era realmente inspirador. Fue uno de nuestros favoritos de los que visitamos ayer.
