X-mas markets

Recuerdo perfectamente el acogedor ambiente de los mercadillos de navidad en Alemania, donde tuve la suerte de vivir un año.  La ciudad se transforma en pueblo, se llena de cabañas, juguetes de madera, regalos tradicionales, millones de adornos de navidad elaborados, dulces típicos, y claro, el famoso Glühwein, mezcla de vino con especias, dulce y caliente, mmm el olor a canela! Es lo mejor para combatir el frío y notar, también por dentro, el calor de la Navidad!

I perfectly remember the friendly atmosphere of Christmas markets in Germany, where I was lucky enough to live for a year. The city turns into a town, becomes full of cabins, wood toys, traditional handcrafts, millions of hand-made Christmas decorations, typical pastries and confections, the famous Glühwein, a mix of wine and spices, sweet and served warm. Mmm the smell of cinnamon! It’s the best thing to fight off the cold and feel, also inside, the warmth of Christmas!

En España no tenemos tan arraigada esta tradición tan europea. Si es verdad  que las calles se adornan y salimos a comprar como locos, a tomar algo con los amigos, compañeros de trabajo o de clase; pero perdonad, no es lo mismo. No es tan tradicional, tan auténtico navideño, quizá sea porque Santa Claus no viene del mediterráneo, aquí no hay tanta nieve... por qué será?

In Spain, we don't have such a deeply-rooted European custom. Yes, it's true that we do decorate the streets, go out shopping any old how, go out with friends, class or office-mates, but sorry to tell you, that it is not the same. It is not so traditional, so genuine Christmas, maybe because Santa Claus doesn't come from the Mediterranean, maybe here there's not much snow... why could it be?

Así que este post va dedicado a las que tienen la suerte de disfrutar del ambiente mágico de la Navidad, del ambiente de los mercadillos tradicionales europeos. Vamos a echar un ojo a los típicos looks para irse de mercadillo navideño.

Therefore, this post is dedicated to those who are lucky to enjoy the magic atmosphere of Christmas, the ambient of traditional European markets. Let’s have a look to the typical outfits for visiting the street markets.

PET bloggers

Sí, me gustan los animales, me encantan. Siempre he tenido mascota en casa, he pasado de perros a gatos y ambos a la vez. Ahora tengo dos gatos diablillos peludos que me revuelven la casa y hacen que parezca un hogar.

Yes, I like pets, I love them. I always had a pet at home, I changed from dogs to cats and then both at the same time. Now, I have got two cats furry little devils WHO turn my house up and down but make it looks like a real home.

Las mascotas, sobre todo los perros, siempre han estado de algún modo relacionados con el mundo de la moda, antes eran parte del decorado de la foto, acompañante de pasarela pero cada vez son ellos más los protagonistas, hasta el punto de que hay una semana de la moda canina en NY!

Pets, specially dogs, have been always in any way linked to the fashion world, before they were a part of the scenery of the picture, companion in the catwalk but they're getting more protagonist every day, so much so that there's a pet fashion week in NY!

poor WINNER dog!

no es difícil encontrar fotos de nuestras trendsetters favoritas con sus perritos, algunos "sin raza" lo que les hace más adorables.

it is not difficult to find pictures of our favourite trendsetters with their dogs, some of them with "non race" which makes them more lovely.

Great Sienna with a street dog!

Kate Brodshow and her dog

Lauren Conrad's dog is really cute...Do dogs look like their owners?

Olivia's is quite trendy too

pero lo que más me gusta es que nuestras bloggers lo saquen en sus fotos, nos los presenten e incluso les dediquen el blog como el que se merece lovely pepa.

but what I like most is that our bloggers take pictures of and with them, they introduce it and even they dedicate them the blog as it deserves lovely pepa.

gorgeous pics of a bit of fashion and her sweet big dog!

Bartabac's is so sweeet, perfect for this outfit, by the way...

we all love lovely PEPA

hunters, sweet coquers, goldens and the street star french bulldogs

who's the trendiest?

tienes mascota? las sacas en tus fotos? cuidas sus outfits también?

have you got a pet? do you take pictures of it? do you take care over its outfit as well?



Estefania's little Olivia in LV bag, pet fashion victim???

simply RED

Según la cromoterapia el rojo despierta los sentidos y las pasiones. Se asocia al poder, a la energía, a la vitalidad y a las emociones de la vida. En su aspecto negativo: simboliza el odio y la energía mal encauzada, crueldad. Por eso debemos usarlo con precaución para mantener la armonía. Hay que saber cuándo y cómo usar cada color.

According to the cromotherapy, the red colour arouses the senses and passions. It is associated  to the power, the energy, the vitality and the life emotions. Its negative side: it represents the hate, the wrongly channeled energy, the cruelty. That's why we have to use it with caution to keep the armony. We must know where and how to use it.

Parece ser que esta temporada los diseñadores han decidido arriesgarlo todo al rojo y darle color al invierno, y yo encantanda.

It seems that this season the designers have decided to risk everything on red and give some colour to the winter, and I am delighted.

dolce&gabanna and valentino dresses

red leather pants: balmain, valentino, isabel marant.

H&M and Lanvin know well the power of RED

El rojo siempre me ha gustado, aunque últimamente no tenía muchas cosas de este color voy reponiendo el stock poco a poco (esta semana pitillos y jersey), quizá porque tras vivir en China acabé un poco harta del omnipresente rojo partidista!

I always liked the red colour, though I hadn't got so many things in this colour lately I am restocking slowly (this week skinnies and knit sweater), maybe due to my stay in China I got fed up with the omnipresent party red!

RED COLOUR: FORTUNE, GOOD LUCK

La verdad es que el total look rojo es too much para mi, pero visto me gusta.

It is true that the total look red is too much for me, but I like to see it!

Natalie Portman and our PE love the RED total look

Sienna Miller and Jessica Alba wear like noone the RED dress

Sin embargo, lo más fácil es destacar una prenda con este color y completar el look con tonos más discretos. Veamos cómo lo llevan las street stylers.
Nevertheless, the easiest way is to stress one garment in this colour and complete the look with more discreet shades. Let's look how the street stylers wear it.

Paula combines it with animal print fur coat

a RED bag can be the key of our look

gorgeous feather skirt or basic summer tank top?

a good pair of RED shoes can be the solution



the IT girls know well, the RED COAT is a MUST HAVE

También es una buena opción para las fiestas navideñas (ojo con parecer papa noél!)

In Christmas we have a very good chance to wear it (be careful with looking like Santa Claus!)

red dress and black perfecto or viceversa?

great selection of RED dresses in ASOS

y vosotras, os atrevéis con el rojo pasión?

what about you, do you dare with the passion red?
