Nail of the Day | Rimmel London - Black Cab

If you told me a few years ago I was going to be in love with black nail polish, I wouldn't have believed you. I was always into pinks and reds, and then got into more colors. With that said, black has become my favorite color to paint my nails, and it's all thanks to Black Cab by Rimmel London.

This nail polish is great! It only takes two coats to get completely opaque and it's not an expensive nail polish. It's also super creamy, even if you don't use a top coat (which I always do because that way my nail polish lasts longer).

Si hace unos años me dices que me iba a encantar el pintauñas de color negro, no te habría creído. Siempre me gustaban los rosas y rojos, y luego empecé a usar más colores. Con esto dicho, el negro se ha convertido en mi color preferido para pintar mis uñas, y es todo gracias a Black Cab de Rimmel London.

¡Este pintauñas es genial! Solo tienes que darte dos capas para conseguir que esté completamente opaco y no es un esmalte caro. Es muy cremoso, incluso si no usas top coat (aunque yo siempre lo hago porque así me duran más los pintauñas).

Do you have a favorite black nail polish?

¿Tenéis algún pintauñas negro favorito?

Outfit of the day - A pop of color

This is what I wore yesterday to go to my friend's house. Another one of my friends is going to Italy to study abroad for a year so we got together to say goodbye to her.
I also wore a black blazer from Zara over this because it's gotten pretty cold here over the past week.

Fashion Books: The Little Dictionary of Fashion by Christian Dior

I started this series a while back when I did the post on Influence by Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen and, for some reason, never continued...until now.

Today I want to show you something that might not be as known but it's still a great book to read if you're into fashion; it is The Little Dictionary of Fashion by Christian Dior.

As the name of it says, it contains words related to the fashion world displayed in alphabetical order. Each word or item contains either a description, explanation or comment. Some words that are included are: brocade, afternoon frock, fringe, lace, jewelry...

Some pages also contain very nice drawings and/or pictures that help you get a better idea of the whole book.

In my opinion it has a very classy and vintage look to it and it makes me feel like I'm reading something from the past. I think this concept is what they're going for, as well as something really feminine. It's all written in black and pink and all pictures/drawings are in black and white; those three are the only colors you're going to find in the book.

Overall, this book is fun and interesting to read and I have definitely learned some new things. Also, I think it was around $20 and I got it on Shopbop.com but I'm sure you'll be able to find it somewhere else.

Summer Haul

I want to show you a few things I got over these past 2 weeks, but first of all I'm going to show you the bag I got at Zara that I said I was going to show a long time ago.

I love this bag so much! I think the studs make it even better.

You can also wear it with the sides sticking out, but I think that looks weird (even though that's how they had it in the store).

Now that I've showed you that, let's keep going with what I got recently. From Lefties:

 You guys know I love bows!

  This is a cool top because it has neon pink and I also love the flamingos kind of fading color.

I've been looking for a dress like this for a long time and I'm so happy I found it

Then from Stradivarius I got this denim jacket

 

And also a wallet that has a ton of space 

Then I went to Blanco and got 2 things. First I got this clutch that I'm using as a laptop case for my 11" one

And second, this orange/coral flowy top 

Last but not least I went to Kiko because my sister wanted a nail polish but I saw this and had to get it, just so I could show it to you guys. I thought it was pretty close to Chanel's Peridot, and I'm going to be doing a nail of the day so you can see. Keep in mind that it was 3.5€ instead of the 25€ that Chanel nail polishes cost.

Spring flats!

I love to wear flats in spring and I thought I'd share with all of you some of my favorite pairs. Two of them I got recently and the other one is a bit older but I love those flats to death, so I decided to show them anyway.

This first pair I got the other day at a store called Blanco (in which I pretty much only buy accessories). I wanted to try a pair like this for a long time and since these were around 15€ I decided to get them. In real life the color is a little bit more green, but I couldn't get that on camera.

This second pair are from Stradivarius and I think I showed them before (even though I don't remember if I showed it on here or on one of my videos) and I'm really in love with them. I love the bows because I think they're really cute and I love the fact that they're gold and a hard material instead of fabric.

Seriously, I'm in love <3

This third pair is just a simple design from H&M but I like how they're sort of velvet feeling and you can wear them with either a casual outfit or a dressier one. I have like 4 or 5 pairs of black flats because I think they go with everything and I love to wear them when I go out at night and I want to take my heels off.

And last but not least, this is a pair of flats that I wear all the time. I think they're my most worn flats because they're the most comfortable (I think they're a little bit wider than the rest). I got them last summer from Forever 21, so look there because they sometimes restock things from past seasons and all that.

Sorry, they're a bit dirty

Outfit of the day - when is spring going to come?

I'm really tired of bad and cold weather, and I see most of you already wearing bright colors and all these spring trends that I can't wear yet. I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of jealous but I hope the weather changes soon enough.
So today I'm posting this outfit of the day because I really liked it, and even though it's really simple, I find it cute and comfy at the same time.

Top - Forever 21

Tank top - Zara

Leggings - H&M

Boots - Stradivarius

Like I said, it's really simple but I like it. As you can see dark colors are still what I'm wearing these days. I just want the sun to come out and provide some heat to this city so I can wear pastels and all those good things.

Oh, and by the way, I did wear a blazer over it; like I said, it's still cold. 

Are you wearing spring trends yet? Or is your country/city as cold and blah as mine?

Outfit of the night - Burgundy love

I love taking pictures of my outfits when I go out at night on weekends because I dress up a little more, I usually look nicer than weekdays; obviously I don't wear this kind of clothes to class because I think it's too much, but that is just my own opinion. I though I'd share with all of you last Saturday's outfit, so here it is.

Blazer - Zara

Tank top - Zara

Top - Forever 21

Skirt - Forever 21

Flats - Zara

Necklace - Bijou Brigitte

I just realized everything I wore was from Forever 21 and Zara. As you can tell, I love both a lot. And that skirt I actually bought in two different colors because it was only 5€, so it was a deal. Oh, and I don't know where my tights are from, but you can get this kind everywhere so it's ok. 

In a few days I will do a post on my nails that day, which I'm still wearing now (do you say wearing when it comes to nails? I don't know, cause you're not actually wearing them, if you know what I mean).

OOTD #6 It's still pretty cold here

In this outfit of the day I'm going to show you what I wore yesterday. Like the title of the post says, it's still pretty cold where I live, so I need to wear scarves, gloves and all that not so comfortable stuff.

Also, I don't know if you can tell by the pictures but I cut my hair a little bit. I miss my long hair already, but I know this way my hair is healthier.

Look for a night out ( OOTN )

I'm going to show you the outfit I wore yesterday night. It's casual but at the same time it can be "dressy" for some clubs.

I love over the knee socks but I never seem to find the prefect time to wear them and also my friends aren't into trying new styles so I was a little skeptical about wearing them. Another friend told me to go for it cause she thought I could pull it off, so I followed her advice.
What do you all think?

 

Top - Forever 21

Blazer - Stradivarius

Shorts - Forever 21

Bag - H&M

Over the knee socks - Forever 21

Flats - Zara

Also I wanted to show you the make up I wore but the photo is not the best, so I apologize.

For this look I used:
- BB Cream by Garnier in "light"
- Dream Matte Powder by Maybelline in "golden sand"
- Elf blush in "tickled pink"
- "sidecar", "hustle" and "virgin" from the Naked Palette by Urban Decay
- The colossal volume express waterproof by Maybelline
- Black Label lipstick by NYX in "summer in hampton"

Rocker outfit

Rocker by lumontes

Here's an outfit I just put together on Polyvore. It has a rocker vibe and I feel it's perfect for a night's out, to go dancing or to a concert (In that case, I'd change shoes...I love high heels, but I wouldn't go to a concert wearing them; even though I've gone to concerts wearing wedges).

Slide on, glide on by NYX

I bought 3 of the new Slide On, Glide On eyeliners by NYX and I have to admit that I'm in love.

They claim to be smooth, and they are; you don't need to press them against your skin for them to show up prefectly. They're also very creamy (which helps to slide) and very pigmented.
It also says they're waterproof. I have to be honest and tell you that I bought them thinking that they were going to be easy to remove; but when I tried to remove the swatches from my arm I realized that they were actually waterproof and I had to apply a lot of pressure with make up remover wipes for them to go away.

Here are some swatches in artificial (first picture) and natural light (second picture):

Colors: glitzy gold, jet black, tropical green

Colors: glitzy gold, jet black, tropical green

Conclusion: I recommend them to all of you and they have a lot of different colors that you can get. If I buy some more in the future, I'll do another post to show them to all of you.

Thank you for reading! :)
