Muse of the month (because we love her style).

 Name: Barbara Martelo

Nationality: Spanish

Occupation: Freelance stylist

Trademark: The "Balmainian" style; skinnies, heels and dark colors.

Fun fact: She actually studied a law degree. 

Started her career as attorney in the Inditex legal department, then she emigrated as a fashion stylist for Vogue Spain.

There's a magical feeling in me.

 After a nice trip to a calm land where time kind of stops I feel a bit renewed; not wiser but maybe more aware. 

So today this is my current inspiration.

Shimmery sand on the skin and the best messy hair ever, beach sky and pretty cute suntan.

I left my heart in Puerto Escondido.

Puerto Escondido de mis amores...

Zicatela, Mazunte, Zipolite, I'll keep your warm soul in my memories.

Sun sun sun here it comes.

Sun kissed skin, swimwear, ethnic vibe, sand, beach hair, coconut smell.. that's all I can think right now that I'm heading to the beach with my girls for a well deserved vacations! If I don't pamper myself, who will?

Pastel princess.

It's 9:44 pm and I'm still at work!  At this point I am about to sleep on the computer.

Lately I've been feeling nostalgic about my years in high school (only God knows why) when I wore pink hair and had a tongue piercing (I don't feel embarrassed to say it.. yet), so today I played some of the music I used to hear back in the day and I realize that most of the cool bands of that time where led by badass women I used to idolize like Nina Persson, Shirley Manson or Gwen Stefani, they totally influenced the way I dress.

And what this conversation has to do with pastel skinnies? Actually nothing but I'm tired and apparently full of feelings (or desperate for a friend?).
About pastel trousers: a must this season, low-slung (which I'll talk about later), cropped, ankle-length, printed, or chinos.
How to wear them: to the ankle, with stiletto pumps, printed shirts, strappy sandals, washed denim jackets.
Here are some ideas of where to get: Zara, topshop, J.brand, Current Elliot, j.crew.
