Closing cycles!

Life is about changes and a lot of people, things and situations happen in our life that can either bring a lot of joy or a lot of sadness. What's important is to keep the positive, let go of the negative and accept that in order for something to be constant in life there has to be a mutual compromise and desire to stay in that stage, that friendship or that relationship. 

TOP 10 SPRING SUMMER TRENDS!!!

Spring is already here and stores are stocking up on the new fashion trends for the season. I must say this has to be one of my favorite trends in a long time! A lot of bright colors and boho chic/rocker style trends are mixing up to create the most amazing pieces I've seen in a while. So here are the top trends for the season:

1. Bold Colors and Neons: Tangerine is leading the season with green, yellow and red close behind.  Look out for neon yellow, pink, orange, purple, blue or green. Aren't you loving the Marc Jacobs neon satchels. Bags, shoes and jewelry are the biggest neon trend in town.

Sanxenxo: A hidden gem in Galicia, Spain!

First of I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TRAVELING so I'm always looking for new places to discover. So when it came to the hubby's birthday I knew what I wanted to do. It was an extra benefit that he made it clear he wanted it to be just him and me and that he didn't want any surprises. Well I did make sure it was the two of us but I love surprises so I couldn't help myself. It got me into a little trouble when I said I had to drive and he had to have his eyes closed or be blindfolded. He threw a fit and I almost felt I had a child for 10 minutes but then he got into it and even let me walk him to the room with his eyes closed. I had to bump him into a few walls on the way just to get back at him for being so difficult at the beginning though. LOL

Bilbao, San Sebastian and Haro: Our 3 day getaway to the Basque Country and La Rioja!

This was the structure right
in the middle of our hotel.
You can sign the rocks!!

For my birthday this year one of my best friends came to visit from Houston, Texas. Since she was going to be here for a whole week I thought we could make a little visit to somewhere neither of us had ever been. We wanted to make it to Morroco but we couldn't find any tickets to fit our schedule so we decided to go to the Basque Country for 3 days. We tried to fit as much as we could in those days and I think we did pretty good.

Me Madrid: My new favorite hotel in Madrid!

Hotel Me Madrid

For my B-Day back in February 16th we headed to Madrid for a weekend getaway where we got to meet and celebrate with our best friends and my sister. Since it was my b-day I wanted to stay in a very cool hotel. I was looking for a boutique hotel with a rooftop terrace preferably, rooms with a view and in the middle of everything. After browsing for the best deals and reading lots of reviews I decided for the ME Madrid. From now on it's the place where I want to stay every time I go to Madrid.

Rebaixas Rebaixas!!! Shopped till I dropped!!

One of the things that make me happy is a very good buy so when the sales started on January 7th I was ready to shop till I dropped. It took a while for this post but the "rebaixas", as they call them here in Santiago, were not over so I had more shopping to do before I posted. I am finally done shopping and I'm happy to say I made some amazing buys. The things I got are from seasons from one to two years ago but I'm not a super strict trend follower so it was great for me. I like to stick to my own style and incorporate some new trends if I like them so most of the things I bought were timeless pieces and some pretty cool shoes. I was extremely happy with all the bright color pieces on sale. Oh and I was very happy with all the quality stuff  I got from the good brands like Massimo Dutti and Zara where I got  most of my stuff.

Well 2 coats, 2 cardigans, 3 scarves, 20 tops, 6 bottoms, 5 dresses, 15 pairs of genuine leather shoes and a few more things later here I go.These are some of the things I got. Wonder how much extra luggage I'll have to take back home!! Prices are in euros but leather heels for 15 Euros ($20 USD)!! Come on!!! Had to!!! I can't even describe the feeling you get when you see those 90 Euro Shoes at 15!! :)!!! And I'm saving all my receipts to claim my IVA (spanish tax) when I go back home. Ahhhhh...definitely enjoyed spending the check I got from some work I did last summer ;). Now back to saving mode and fashion ready for the summer.

So hard to do but so worth it...

Most likely you'll surround yourself with GOOD people and GOOD 
people know when they've messed up even when they won't accept 
it so don't sweat it. I know it's hard but if you really know their 
heart you know how they really feel. Always try to be the 
bigger person in a humble manner. You know what I mean. ;)
