It is impossible not to be in love with Ojai. In our short but great getaway last month not only we enjoyed this Californian little town and the nature surrounding it but we also discovered -besides the coolest motel- what I consider the most amazing used-book store I have ever seen to date.

Yes, trust me, sometimes in L.A. you do need a thick knit sweater, some other times you even need a scarf and sometimes -just a few times- you even need both of them together! The funny thing is, since this is an extraordinary phenomenon that only happens in rare occasions and never more than -I...

To be sincere, I never considered this a fashion blog, actually. Not exclusively a fashion blog, I mean. When I first opened it almost five years ago it was no other thing than a place where to share the things that inspired me. By that time I was both working...

There it goes, to the top of our wish-list, the new Jasper Travel purse by Acne. We love it because it irresistibly smells like Spring and because the word ‘travel’ is included in its name. The union of these two factors together is also commonly known as pure perfection. You can buy it online,...

And now, there we are, waiting for the eternal Californian spring to come back…

If I have to be sincere, Silver Lake is not one of the handiest neighborhoods for me. For reasons like this I normally need a good excuse to get into the car and cross the city during a time frame that can oscillate between forty and ninety minutes; yes, my dear friends, traffic in...

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...

The accessories collections that illustrator Gonzalo Cutrina creates together with accessories designer Aurora Vilaboa are always colorful, bold and eye-catching. I discovered them three years ago when I interviewed them for Dazed Digital but it wasn’t till last year that I could -at last- meet them in person. And it is exactly there, at...

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. It might be because of the memories of my teacher rolling his eyes with boredom -oh, don’t get me wrong, his irony and sense...

My visit to Barcelona was -as it usually is- shorter than I would have liked. Fortunately, and before I was aware of everything I had to do before I had to leave again, I could attend the opening of Ivori, a new shop in Born neighborhood.
This small and cozy space gathers creations of...

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. Do you also feel this kind of weird and...

When holidays are near one seems more encouraged to ask for things, don’t you? You know, leaving little suggestions here and there about those things you wouldn’t mind at all getting on Xmas morning. Ok, let’s start, then: I wouldn’t mind getting, for instance, this beautiful wooden necklace by La Casita de Wendy that...

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. Obviously, the comeback of the white trousers can only be explained -in my case- due to the spring-like fall in California. Yes, it...
