Mayte

Here's my friend Mayte Esteban. A very talented interior designer whose work I admire.

Last month I got the chance to take pictures of her and some of the products she designed for an exhibition/pop-up shop called Cosecha. It's easy to fall in love with the things she designs, they're simple, yet functional and beautiful. I mean, just look at that lamp!!

It was so cool to be immersed into her world for a while. She's such an interesting person.

P.S.: Don't forget to check her Tumblr and Instagram.

Sunnies

I know, I know... I talked about Persols last week, but these are probably the most perfect sunglasses I've ever seen.

I'm not sure if some of you have watched 'North by Northwest' with Cary Grant, but it's one of the most stylish films on Earth. I swear.

Well anyway, I was very distracted with the sunglasses that Cary Grant wore on the movie. They're just amazing! Don't you think? Since the day I watched it, I've been looking for a similar pair to wear this Summer. I found these, but I'm still not sure.

What do you think?

Style story n2 / Yamil

Here's Yamil. He's Daniela's brother.

I also wanted to shoot a style story with him for a long time. And a few weeks ago, I had the pleasure to do it. Yamil is interested in fashion, art and hip hop culture, he's got a very interesting collection of images on his Tumblr (warning, NSFW). And, he's working on his own clothing brand. Great, no? We'll talk about that in another post.

Well, here are some of the pictures I shot. Hope you like them!

My rules of style / pt.2

Yes, finally, an illustration!

Haha, ok enough. Remember last time when I talked about my rules of style? Well, here's the second chapter or something like that.

As I said, my style is always evolving, that allows me to find inspiration anywhere and add some new rules to this series of posts, which will keep things a bit more interesting all the time. Here I go...

• Get rid of tight/baggy clothes: Things are supposed to fit just right. Something too small will obviously make you look like your mom buys your clothes from the kids department. And something too big will also make you look like an idiot. We don't want that.
• Look for a key piece each season: This is just essential. It's something I've been doing for like a year now. You need something essential for each season. For example, an unconstructed blazer, t-shirt or chinos for Spring/Summer; and maybe a nice coat, blazer or sweater for Fall/Winter.
• Take care of your footwear: To be honest, I totally suck at this one. But, argh that's okay, I'll do it nice some day... The point is you should treat them right. Shoe trees are really helpful, they help to maintain their shape and make them look good.
• Less is more: Always. Remember choose quality over quantity. Don't put a lot of effort to have a nice outfit.

And there you have part 2. Remember to have in mind all these 'rules'. I'll post more as soon as possible!

Style story n1 / Daniela Arbaje

This is my friend Daniela. She's going to study film and she's got a great love for good movies and images. Yup, another super cool and stylish friend for the list. I always wanted to take pictures of her, and it finally happened last weekend. 

I love the fact that her style is a mix between grunge, minimal and daring at the same time. It's just amazing, no? Well, I'll leave you with some pictures, enjoy!

P.S.: Special thanks to Sarah Gomez for helping us with this shoot.

These are Isis' Dr. Martens! So cool, right?

I personally think they look amazing on her. Not everyone can pull off shoes like these! What do you think?

Claudia's shoes

These are the shoes that Claudia wore for the photoshoot. Well, the truth is, they actually belong to her mother. Funny, no?

But now, here's the question... Is this some kind of trend? Suddenly I've seen this type of Derby shoes everywhere, especially on fashion blogs. And let me tell you, I think it's very interesting when there's menswear inspiration in women's fashion. What do you think about them?

Sarah again...

Hey guys!

First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of posting. My computer suddenly stopped working, but it's all good now. Thanks for being patient!

Well okay, to be honest, I haven't done much in the last few days. Just a bit of drawing, writing and thinking about new ideas for this blog.
Remember my friend Sarah? I met her the other day to talk about a new project that we have in mind. I think you're going to love it... Stay tuned!

Hello!

First of all, sorry I didn't post anything yesterday. We had a long weekend and I just came back from my grandparents' house!

My rules of style / pt.1

Disclaimer: I'm not a fashion dictator, and no, I don't want to be a stylist either. This series of posts is supposed to help you find your style and make it personal, I guess (?)

So, let me tell you something. In the past, I used to buy a lot of stuff. Really, stupid things like destroyed denim and all that (yup, sorry). And now, I have to say, my style has evolved a little bit. Okay, it has evolved a lot actually.

I've learned a lot of things recently, so I'll be happy to share them with you. I call them 'my rules of style'...

My essentials: The plaid shirt

You know what? I actually have a lot of shirts. And let me tell you, most of them... are plaid.

Yeah, yeah. I've always been so in love with plaid shirts. I mean we all love them, right? For me, they're some kind of uniform, I don't know why but I can't stop wearing them all the time!
