Sangria in the Sun

My favorite part of the city of Madrid is the city goers love for terraces. On warm spring / summer days you see everyone on a terrace enjoying company, drinks, the view, and laughs. My favorite place to enjoy the view of the Royal Palace and sip on Sangria is Cafe Oriente. The outdoor seating is covered by enormous umbrellas with water misting at you every couple of minutes to cool you from the scorching heat. The view of the Royal Palace is simply amazing and makes the food & drink much more enjoyable. After my afternoon tapas & sangria I got gelatto from Freddo Freddo (two scoops of crema please!). It was a perfect Spanish day. 


P.S- Thank you Closet Fashionista for the blog award, youre so sweet !


Mi parte predilecta de la ciudad de Madrid es la ciudad que asiduos adoran para terrazas. En la primavera tibia/días de verano que usted ve todos en una terraza que disfruta de la compañía, de bebidas, de la vista, y de las risas. Mi lugar predilecto disfrutar de la vista del Palacio y el sorbo Reales en la Sangría es Café Oriente. Los asientos al aire libre son cubiertos por enormes paraguas con misting de agua en usted cada pareja de minutos de refrescarle del calor que achicharra. La vista del Palacio Real asombra simplemente y hace el alimento & bebe mucho más agradable. Después de mis tapas de tarde & sangría yo conseguí gelatto de Freddo Freddo (dos palas de crema complacen!). Fue un día español perfecto.

A Day for Rain

The rain usually makes me want to throw on my Hunter boots and visit every museum in the city but today the weather was different. It varied from dark skies, the cold, and rain to sunny and hot. One second I wanted to wear my uggs and heavy cardigan and the next I wanted to be in my havianas and bathing suit. There was just no outfit I could assemble and wear comfortably. Tired of the weather confusion I decided to stay in where I knew the temperature and wouldn't get rained on. To feel my sexiest even while staying in I wore a pink top from Topshop, the buttons down the back make me feel sexy even though I am all covered up.

Once the weather finally cleared up I decided it was time to step out and grab a bite to eat. I stopped into a vegetarian restaurant (El Resturante Vegetariano) that was delicious. Each plate had fresh ingredients and they put a vegetarian and vegan twist on traditional Spanish dishes.

La lluvia generalmente me hace quiero tirar en las botas de Hunter y visitar cada museo en la ciudad pero hoy el tiempo fue diferente. Varió de cielos oscuros, del frío, y de la lluvia a Sunny y caliente. Un segundo que quise llevar mi uggs y rebeca pesada y el luego quise estar en mi havianas y el traje de baño. No había justo equipo que podría reunir y podría llevar cómodamente. Cansado de la confusión de tiempo que decidí permanecer en donde supe que la temperatura y no sería llovido en. Para sentirse que mi más atractiva constante al permanecer en llevó una cima rosa de Topshop, los botones hacia abajo la espalda me hace me siento atractiva aunque sea encubierto todo.

Una vez que el tiempo por último aclaró decidí que fue tiempo de dar un paso fuera y asir una mordedura para comer. Paré en un restaurante vegetariano (El Resturante Vegetariano) que fue delicioso. Cada plato tuvo ingredientes frescos y ellos ponen una torsión de vegetariano y vegetariano en platos españoles tradicionales. 

Boutiques

My favorites as I promised:
Lotta Vintage
Farrutx
Agatha Ruiz de la Prada & here

Mi lugar predilecto hacer de compras son pequeñas boutiques que llenan las bocacalles de Madrid. Al cavar por los anaqueles de ropa usted nunca sabe lo que usted encontrará y las posibilidades son interminables.

Ruffles

Ruffles are the perfect feminine touch to any outfit no matter where they are; on your shirt, dress, shoes, or bag. I love playing with ruffles especially in the summer to add a girlie touch to my outfit. I wore this on my casual day of afternoon coffee, class, and shopping.

Eriza son el toque femenino perfecto a cualquier equipo no importa dónde ellos son; en su camisa, el vestido, los zapatos, la bolsa. Adoro jugar con eriza especialmente en el verano para agregar un toque de destape a mi equipo. Llevé este equipo en mi día casual de café de tarde, de la clase, y de compras.  

Home Burger Bar

burger with goat cheese & blackberry jam

I enjoy Spanish tapas and bocadillos (small sandwiches) but every now and then I get a craving for an American Burger. Home Burger Bar in Madrid fills my craving for burgers and even has burgers with a twist. My favorite is La Cabrita: a burger with goat cheese and blackberry jam and no ketchup dont worry! But you can never go wrong with their original! Each burger comes with french fries and mango cole-saw which is simply amazing. 

Disfruto de tapas y bocadillos españoles (pequeños bocadillos) pero de vez en cuando consigo un anhelar para una Hamburguesa norteamericana. En casa Home Burger Bar en Madrid llena mi anhelar para hamburguesas e incluso tiene hamburguesas con una torsión. ¡Mi favorito es La Cabrita: una hamburguesa con queso de cabra y zarzamora se atasca y ninguna salsa de tomate se puso preocupación! ¡Pero usted nunca puede fallar con su original! Cada hamburguesa viene con col-vio de patatas fritas y mango que asombra simplemente.

Hello Summer

I'm happy to say I can finally walk out of my house without a jacket or a slight feeling of being cool. I actually was too hot in my shorts & tunic while eating lunch outside of the Palace Royal but, I am in no place to complain. I will take the warm weather over the cold any day. The warm weather gave me an appetite for spice so I stopped at my favorite Mexican place in Madrid, Sabor a' Mi. The smoothies, cocktails, and spicy food are all made with fresh ingredients which you can taste with your first bite. I cant walk by this restaurant without stopping inside for their mini nachos with guacamole. YUM!

Soy feliz de decir que yo por último puedo salir de mi casa sin una chaqueta o un sentimiento leve de ser fresco. Estuve realmente demasiado caliente en los calzones & túnica al almorzando fuera del Palacio Real pero, estoy en ningún lugar de quejarse. Tomaré el tiempo tibio sobre el frío cualquier día. El tiempo tibio me dio un apetito para la especia tan yo paré en mi lugar mexicano predilecto en Madrid, Sabor un' Mi. Los zalameros, los cócteles, y alimento picante es hecho todo con ingredientes frescos que usted puede probar con su primera mordedura. Puedo andar por este restaurante sin parar dentro para sus nachos minis con guacamol. ¡YUM!

Bring out the maxi (dress)

With the weather finally getting warmer I was able to take my favorite maxi dress out of the closet and onto the streets of Madrid. I wanted to put a bit of color in the solid black dress that I paired with all black gladiator flats so I added a pop of color with my purple aviator glasses & rainbow colored bangles.

Currently the best place to wear your bangles and bracelets are on your upper arm and I completely agree. It gives you an edgy but cute look with a tribal feel. How adorable. So next time you put on your bracelets push them up pass your elbow.

When wearing an upper arm piece don’t be afraid to make it the focal point of your outfit. Pick a color that stands out or creates the finishing touch to your style.

Suggestions:
1. Have it add a pop of color to your outfit
2. Match the bangle with your current gold/silver jewelry
3. Pick a bangle that compliments your outfit

Be glamorous and be you!
