All the big brands, shopping malls and grocery stores have been waiting for it all year long (and so have we, right?), it's THE Holiday! It's Christmas time! And so they play it BIG. And I am telling you, I’ve never seen anything like it.
Read MoreEast London is buzzing all the time. Sometimes to the point you become restless just because there's so much to do and so many places to be all the time! Here some of my fave.
Read MoreI knew my strolls around East London would have a meaning! Because wandering around the City is what makes you discover new cultures, new faces, new designers, new fashion. And this is how I met Kam, a 25 year old Londoner, who is the heart of Kam Creates, one of the funkiest brands I've found in a long time.

I'm afraid I'm repeating myself but OH MAN, I love this city. It's clearly paradise for shopaholics like me (which I don't know if it's a good thing or not). There are so many offers aaaall the time! Very irresistible. And specially so if Vogue decides to throw a massive party for all locals and tourists around to enjoy your shopping experience around Oxford and Regent St. And straight after LFW. I mean, how much more convinient could this be?
So what happened during Vogue's FNO ("Fashion Night Out"), you might be wondering. That, I will tell you. From champagne and macaroons to cheeky photo booths, the night was very promising. And as an organized freak that I am, I had a little cheat sheet to know where to be for the night. Needless to say this is an event that you enjoy more if you go with your friends (as I did). Girly time #modeON.
So we started our adventure around Bond St, going through South Molton Lane and Brook St. For me, the best area to stay around. Shops are nicer and customer service is excellent.
Of course our first stop was Bimba y Lola (such a cliché, considering I'm spanish). To my surprise, they decided to have a fortune teller in store! Not that I believe in these kind of things but it was fun to try. Even more if you sipping really good cava and taking pictures.
From there we moved to Aubade, a very nice lingerie shop (although a bit small in my opinion). They had the funkiest photo booth of the night, where you could pretend to be a model and get to wear their accessories in-store. Once more, while sipping champagne and eating Ladurée macarons. Classy.
As if we didn't have enough, Ted Baker had a waffle cart outside their stores, and Thomas Sabo had a pink-vibe van that was serving jewelry, fortune cookies and cupcakes. How ideal.
From there we moved to Aspinal of London. Do I have to tell you how nice their bags are? The event at their shop was magnificent, with the cutest and biggest bear and a saxofonist welcoming you into the store. The first 50 customers also got a free goodie bag, what I wasn't one of the lucky 50.
Time was going by but we weren't done. After a quick stop at Monica Vinader we head to House of Fraser to get our official Vogue Cover Shoot and a complimentary YSL goodie bag. Then off to Coast to get ourselves make-up ready for the rest of the evening and check out some cute eventful dresses. Sadly, we took much more time doing that and we ended our fashion tour in Regent St, unable to keep on going because the shops were closed!
Nevertheless, it was definitely a night I will remember.

There's simply not enough words to express how much I ADORE this prêt-à-couture house.
I personally don't think many people have heard of it unless you are really into your fashion. The fact is, however, that anybody who's somebody in this business has worn Del Pozo. A-list, bloggers, celebrities...they are all mesmerized by it. No wonder!
Every single catwalk by Del Pozo leaves me breathless. It is simply so beautiful it makes me blush! Its architectural designs mixing modern with traditional, the shapes, the colour palettes, the clash of fabrics...it's just so inspirational. A work of art. A work of a genius.
One of the most amazing up and coming jewellers in Barcelona. I am talking about Maria Pascual, of course!

For those of you who do not know me (yet), you need to know that I am addicted to shoes!After a drunken bet my dearest boyfriend made me count all of my shoes and I couldn't believe how many I had. OOPS!
Bearing that in mind, I want to share with you some of my latest acquisitions and what seems to be a great shoe investment to me. I am talking about Miista.
Miista is a footwear brand based in Hackney, London. However, they produce the shoes in Spain, where leather goods are of excellent quality.
I randomly discovered the brand thanks to one of their distributors in Spain, Imaginacio Badalona. They introduced me to the world of Miista a while ago and i was hooked.
If there is one thing to say about Miista shoes, it is that they will not go unnoticed. Funky, unique, comfortable. That is what Miista is all about and that's why I've been so addicted to them lately!
Their team is very helpful everytime you need anything (great customer service guys) and they even interviewed me not so long ago on their website thanks to my IG account (thank you guys!).
In conclusion, are you in need of shoes? Or let's rephrase it. Do you WANT a new pair of shoes? Well, now you know where to find some!
