Although it is terribly rainy and grey today in L.A. I promise last week I was wearing this for a coffee with my friend Samira at Shutters in Santa Monica. A very glamorous coffee, indeed, but what can I say in self defense, I think I’ve been watching too much Revenge lately and all...

Dots and Bougainvilleas in Palm Springs

My photography teacher used to find pictures of flowers pretty boring but the thing is I can’t help taking them whenever I find beautiful flowers, which is quite often, luckily.

Nude Angora + Ripped Jeans

Anytime I am wearing these trousers I seriously have the feeling that, at the less expected moment, they will disintegrate without more previous notice but, hey, there they are, year after year, accumulating holes, loose threads and some other effects due to the passing of time.

The Revenge of the White Trousers

I am sure this is happening because they had been consigned to oblivion for ages. And now, all of a sudden they have moved again into my closet, threatening to stay.
