Akward Goodbyes

When we grow up, we are pretty much bombarded with superheroes and their unbelievable adventures. Honestly, I was never a big fan of those, but somehow I still was able to pick the message: Grow up into a Superwoman.
The truth is that, even though "The Joker" itself is not a daily disturbance, I have to deal with a few villains every now and then- mostly men boys. Because let's face it I would never (EVER!) in a million years refer to them as men. Hopefully my blind obsession with bad boys flies away and I find a good gentleman someday when I least expect it. The real deal in here is that you need to be some kind of real life cold queen if you want to protect your heart- or your entire self- from certain jerks that will jump in your way. They, might be immature, stupid and easy to hate, but regrettably they may be charming and drive you crazy as well. So, when a certain lady I know very-very  well, met Ken she fell head over heels for him. He was sweet, not very immature and actually really funny wild. He was not from the same city as she was, but that never mattered to both of them- at the beginning- they pretended to be friends, but they were crazy for each other. Well, there were a few big-headed jokers in this story. Two devilish frenemies- goodness, they are invading us. They pretty much threw a campaign against my beloved friend and since Ken "beach boy" was not as smart as expected, he believed them and slowly walked away- because he claims to be really polite and that's how polite little boys get the hell out. She could not believe what was happening, her friend betrayed her and Ken who over all was a great support, sneaked out of her heart.
Why am I telling you this story? Because the more I grow up, the more I hate people who don't know how to properly say goodbye. They like to be sneaky, just in case the odds may ever be in their favour and they need to make a comeback. That drives me insane, if you want to say goodbye, say it. Do not ignore someone and favourite or RT their tweets, so that they don't hate you too much. To have a clean resumé, just in case they need that person back. To not have too much of a dark story left behind. Well, when it comes to this issues I am as queen-like as it gets, I don't give second chances to the ones who don't deserve it. I am no Mother Theresa. Being kind and honest and valuing your own opinion over the one from others, especially about what/who you like is cheap. So, stop being fake boys, we want real men.
So here it is to the superwoman I know you are, don't believe in someone that doesn't treat you like a treasure. Someone will, as a matter of fact, you should be the one who does it, because maybe some smart boy will be able to read between lines and learn what it takes to be your partner in crime.

1 Dress? 5 Ways

Hi Everyone! Today I wanted to talk about the importance of accessories, and I realized that this was the perfect post to show you how much can be done with a simple LBD. Let's get started
Hola a todos! Hoy os quería hablar de la importancia de los accesorios, pero me he dado cuenta de que una entrada en la que os muestre 5 estilos con el mismo vestido, sería mucho más ilustrativa. Así que vamos a ello!

AndreaStyles: Easy Working Day Outfits

Hi Dolls! So today's post, was a request I got from an email ( shineonbyandrea@gmail.com) in which Ashley asked me to help her to create some outfits for her working days, so that she could have a more polished look, but keeping it simple and true to herself. I love helping you, and doing "mini make overs" and I wished I had a tv show or something to help you and go shopping together, but I don't so I found easier having another series at my blog in which I help you to style your wardrobe. Do you like the idea? 




simple







Straight leg pants
€37 - topshop.com

H&M ballet shoes
€10 - hm.com

Clutch handbag
€41 - uk.accessorize.com

Forever New metal jewelry
€21 - forevernew.com.au

Dorothy Perkins bow ring
€6,52 - dorothyperkins.com

Dtla photograph, photo of Los Angeles, LA skyline at sunset, downtown...
€11 - etsy.com



I created this outfit thinking about Ashley and her daily style, which she told me about. So first tip to easily style an outfit: simple bottom parts that are flattering as well, so that you always feel like wearing them. I love this straight leg trousers for everyday. By using basic trousers you normally save money because they tent to be cheaper as they are simple, but also because finding bright tops at a reasonable price is always easier. If you do not have a lot of time to shop around go with this formula: simple on the bottom and bright on the tops. You can find  clothing pieces like that everywhere.

Second tip: if you are looking for accessories that go with anything, ROSE GOLD is the magic things you need, they go with literally anything and what's more they look awesome with yellow and tangerine which have been the stars of neon this season. Which means that these jewellery pieces are a must have to make the summer- fall transition.
Third Tip: Look for a brown/ neutral color bag. Because again it looks amazing with neon colors. But also I will invest in a staple piece in which you can fit all your gadgets a.k.a smartphone, ipad or computer, as you will need to carry those to work everyday.
Fourth Tip: Use bright accesories to compliment your top. I love using my crazy bright summer jewellery to spice up my fall looks, so that they don't look too boring...

Long sleeve shirt
€59 - topshop.com

H m blazer
€38 - hm.com

AllSaints super skinny jeans
€98 - allsaints.com

Vintage style shoes
€49 - lebunnybleu.com

Black tote
€40 - sheinside.com

Gold necklace

With this look I wanted to show Ashley that she actually can go to the office wearing jeans! But you need to make sure that they are not distressed and that they are simple as possible, because we will spice them with accesories.

Fifth Tip: Bright blazers, I like the ones that accentuate your waist better than the boyfriend blazers but its up to you.
Sixth Tip: Go flat, if you have to be the entire day working, use flat shoes, I love vintage inspired oxfords like this pair. They not only fit my style but the add a chic strike to the whole outfit without being too loud. Classy and Fab.
Seventh Tip: Go and find gold and silver collar necklaces, they are perfect for spicing up any blouse. And let's face it, most of your working days you will be wearing something like that, so again accessories are key!

Another must shop is a neutral dress, because you can rock it for another day working with a bright blazer and be really neutral with the purse and shoes but wear the bright bracelets you bought on vacation, so you feel a bit better LOL or accessorize it with fancy jewelry from a b-day gift that you never find the place to wear. Last tip: If you are not really big on accessories go for animal print ballet flats for everyday shoes, they will spice up a look when you want to play safe and be a bit plain with your outfit. They are a style saver!
