7 FRESH STYLE TIPS FOR THIS SPRING

mar rojo 19 spring tips title

I do not know you, but I’m starting to be a little tired of this winter. I’d love to set fire to my thick socks and flannel pajamas, and today I attempted to walk out the door on bare legs. I wasn’t really convinced I would be able to make it, and the truth is that I had to pull my leotards from the handbag after 10 minutes walk.

It really should’t complain since where we live we have a nice mediterranean weather, but every year around this time Iget these cravings for spring time, I can not help it.

So while we wait for spring to finally arrive, I have made this quite random selection of tips to get ready.

 

1. THINK 70s.

No major discovery here, it was evident on the runways and now on the coming new collections in stores. I’m so in love with Zara’s latest lookbook!

To start getting the groove of the coolest decade, the first thing we should find is a good pair of flared jeans.
I know it was hard getting used to skinny jeans, and now that we have managed to be comfortable with them, we’re back to flared! You can complain and refuse, but you and I know that in the end you will end up wearing what’s in, so the sooner we resign ourselves the better. Also, flared pants were always the coolest, and if you aren’t convinced yet, take a look at these two examples:

2. PRACTIZE THE “HALF TUCK”.
You may have been doing this for a while already. If you haven’t, it’s time you start half tucking shirts, t-shirts and even sweaters. Look at the top two photos and check hoy all things tucked look better. If you need more evidences, here’s the tucking queen.

It isn’t rocket science, but you can check this tutorial if you want to learn the proper technique.

3. BRING OUT YOUR BANDANAS
Were you crazy about bandanas twenty years ago? I had several of them and loved them, so I’m so happy they are back!

4. FINALLY GET YOURSELF A KIMONO / PONCHO / CAPE
You resisted last year believing it was going to be a one season trend, but they are still here, they have the 70s groove ant they are still really cute, so maybe this spring is the time to get one.

5. DRY YOUR HAIR WITH AN OLD T-SHIRT
I’m pretty blown away with this trick that I have been doing a couple of months. It turns out that the fibers of the towels, tend to get our hair more frizzy. Start using an old t-shirt instead, you will notice a significant difference.

Here‘s the site where I found it:

6. ALSO THINK 60s.
The 70 are back, but so are the 60s. We will shortly talk about a shaped skirts and nice little dresses, but for now, I leave you with a tutorial from the great Leandra Medine from Man Repeller. She shows us how to get a  nice 60s hair with the aid of just a bobby pin.

7. GET THE BEST WAVES WITH FACIAL WATER SPRAY
I loved this tip and can’t wait to try and let you know the result. Click here to read in detail, but basically, what the girls at The Beauty Department’s tell us is how the facial water spray works great when were getting waves on our hair, to get a messy finish. They recommend the Evian spray because of the super fine mist it creates…we’ll see.

GORGEOUS STYLE: BEHATI PRINSLOO (Part 1)

 

behati_cropcami(via)

I must confess I had never heard of this girl, but came across the cute outfit she is wearing in the top photo, and started researching who she was. And she happens to be really well known! Maybe my male readers known her better because she is one of Victoria‘s Secret Angels. Also, she recently got married to Adam Levine, lead singer of Maroon 5, and above all, she always looks great!

I’m copying her sunnies, the shoes and that hat we can see in several of her looks. Also I’m copying the cropped brown tee, the bandana, and, well…everything!

behati_batman2(via)

It’s happened to me the same as with Erin Wasson’s posts. One single post was too little for so many gorgeous looks, so I had to split in two. (Remember here and here?). With Behati happened the same thing, so soon you’ll have the «part two» for this post. Sigue leyendo

RUN LIKE HELL

I’ve had to take a couple of months off running, so I decided to cheer myself up getting a pair of sneakers for non running outfits.
I cannot make up my mind on which ones choosing. I was almost decided for a New Balance model, but it seems to be an old one and I haven’t managed to find a pair anywhere, so I’ve been researching. Can you help me decide?

SPRING OVERALLS

I love overalls, whenever I see one in a store I try it on without hesitation, and they ALL look so bad on me! I was begging to think that it was the actual tailoring of dungarees that just made them imposible to look good on. But then, I run into this denim overall from Zara, I tried once more, and to my surprise it looked really cute! If you want to look for it, it´s in the stores right now, and it´s very similar to the one on the first picture.

After buying it, I´ve been doing some research and it turns out to be a trend from last year.  I leave you a few pictures of cute overall looks, tell me if you get yourselves one!
