Spanish Designers: Grossomodo

 Thursday, October 28, 2010


Hi ladies! I'm eager to introduce you today Grossomodo, a small Spanish fashion business specialized in clothes and accesories. In the textile line they use silhouttes inspired by the 50's and 60's and a soft colour palette... I guess you are getting now why I do love them! :) Vintage style, romantic... it's so me! :)








All pics found via Grossomodo main web page, blog and flickr

Hope

"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all."

— Emily Dickinson
 
I'm back! It's been a hard week, but we are alive and ready to go on. I'm full of hope and strenght! I took these very bad quality pictures with my mum, but at least I took them, I wanted to symbolize light and hope... :)

This Is The Life

 Sunday, October 17, 2010


On Friday I went for dinner with my two best friends. We drank good wine and ate great food at a new restaurant near home called La Mucca. We had such a great time, we laughed and made plans, we dreamt and talked about our future. But life is life, and sometimes is hard. After a good weekend I got some bad family news and I have to leave Madrid for a couple of days to be next to the people who need me... I am ok, so don't you worry my lovely ladies, life is life, we know that. While I face harder times, please enjoy the bright side of life and watch the fun pics I took with my dear friends. Love you all, because blogland gives me strenght and inspiration and we all need that once in a while :)

All I can say about my friend's outfits is that Pili --the blond one-- is wearing a Jimmy Choo bag, a gift from her mum! I never thought I could ever see this kind of bag outside a store :)

In The Direction of My (Our) Dreams

 Wednesday, October 6, 2010



"I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
— Henry David Thoreau 

I've just come back from our short trip to London and Oxford!:) Please excuse the poor quality of some of these pictures, but I had only my small and crappy camera and I couldn't take that many pics, but I wanted to share a bit of my last days with you ladies! We actually went to Oxford to listen to the Monteverdi Choir at the Sheldonian Theatre. This choir is one of the best in the world and one of the boy's favourites.

But let's move to the real important stuff... The dream is turning into reality! The first interview the boy had at the Royal Academy of Music went great and he thinks he has possibilities to join the academy if not this year the next one. But the real super good news is that we have decided to move to London next year, no matter what! We need a change! I may also start a PhD in Publishing after finishing my Master Degree in Publishing next March... oh, I'm so excited!!!







Love,

A Great Birthday!

 Friday, October 1, 2010


After the beautiful weekend in Paris, I came back to Madrid to spend my birthday with my mum! It was such a great day: we had breakfast at my favourite cafĂ©, we took a walk, we went vintage shopping,  we went to my favourite book store, I had lots of gifts, cupcakes, sweets... I felt like a little girl! :)

Today I'm leaving for London and Oxford! Yey! (The boy is having his first interview in the Royal Academy of Music for he is willing to study there next year or in a coupe of years --that would mean we'd move to London!!--, so wish us luck darling ladies!) I'll be back to you all on Tuesday, and I promise I'll answer your lovely comments! :)









Love,
Darling L
