Inspiration - Look total jean


Last day, (HERE) I was telling you that I really like matching jeans looks, shirt + trousers either in the well known blue jean colour or maybe in grey. Although I just tried with shorts, I think is a good combination for this winter time. I had some ideas in mind and after a while I found those two pictures that inspire me a lot. Hope also inspire you!

OUTFIT · 26 - Ombre jeans



Hey guys! How are you doing? Today I would like to share with you my last look of the  'warm season'. I was wearing this ombre jean MANGO shirt, one of my lastest adquisitions and probably one of the best investments of the season, together with leather and military. This sunny day, we went to visit a lake close to Munich, Ammersee and I decided to wear total look jeans with this angle boots and my mum's vintage fruity bag. I can imagine now the same look but with proper jeans, autumn accessories and my new military green jacket... pretty good combination! I will try it soon / Ey, aquí os dejo el último look de lo que se puede llamar la 'temporada de calor', porque ya a partir de ahora todo serán gorros y bufandas! Una de mis últimas adquisiciones, fué esta camisa degradada vaquera, que aunque aquí la combiné con unos shorts para crear un total look vaquero, porque hacía un día increible, ya me lo estoy imaginando con un buen par de vaqueros y en armonía con lo que son las otras dos grandes estrellas de esta temporada: el verde militar y el cuero.


And you, do you like total look jeans, like that here? Quite simple but impactful!

Zara Home vs Ikea


El mundo de la publicidad es un misterio para mi, y no deja de producirme curiosidad cuando, a diferencia del mayor porcentaje de anuncios, alguna marca lanza una campaña bonita o ingeniosa. Me parece paradójico que compañías importantísimas no cuiden su imagen y sus campañas publicitarias, del mismo modo que me deja con buen sabor de boca, con sensación de savoir-faire, cuando veo el resultado de una idea genial o un spot bonito.

Hoy os traigo dos vídeos de dos compañías cuya principal característica común es que no hay casa española en la que no existan objetos de ambas, a pesar de ser tan diferentes. En el caso de Zara Home, me parece un anuncio que sencillamente transmite belleza (belleza que se puede comprar en sus tiendas). En cambio, el de Ikea demuestra altas dosis de ingenio, de darle la vuelta a las cosas con el fin de hacernos conscientes de una necesidad que podemos solucionar en sus tiendas.

The world of advertisements is a mistery to me, and I can't help being curious when, unlike the biggest percentage of adverts, some brand designs a beautiful or ingenious advert. It seems paradoxical to me to see that some important brands don't take care of their image, and I enjoy the feeling of savoir-faire when I see the result of a great idea or a beautiful spot.

Today I'm showing you two videos from two brands whose main point in common is that there is no Spanish house where one can find objects from both, even if they're so different. In the case of Zara Home, it seems to me it's an advert that simply show beauty (beauty that can be bought in their shops). On the other hand, Ikea's advert proves great deals of inventiveness, turning things up to make us aware of some need that we can, of course, solve in their shops. 

 
 

Del anuncio primero me quedo no solo con la belleza de la imagen, sino también la de la música. Os dejo el tema completo, "That Home", de la Cinematic Orchestra. Dicho esto, he de decir que del de Zara Home me "molesta" no poder ver los objetos y detalles con más detenimiento, y del de Ikea no me molesta nada, pero nunca me han gustado sus textiles y ¡dudo que este anuncio cambie mi opinión! ;)

From the first one, I love not only the beauty of its images, but also of their music. This is the complete song, "That Home", from the Cinematic Orchestra.
Having said that, I have to admit that from the Zara Home' advert, it "annoys me" not to be able to see the objects and details a bit more slowly, and from Ikea's ad nothing bothers me, but I've never liked their textiles and it's not making me change my mind! ;)



¿Qué efecto tienen estos anuncios sobre vosotros? ¿Creéis que son útiles o más bien lo contrario?
What effect do these ads produce on you? Do you think they're useful or rather the opposite?

Hoy en The Lemon Pear...


A veces, el momento más imprescindible de una casa de creación artística es cuando, de una forma u otra, su disciplina se mezcla con otras para crear algo completamente nuevo. En el caso de la casa Hermès, la firma de moda que produce algunos de los bolsos más codiciados del mundo, es también en cierto modo mecenas de la Arquitectura, situando sus oficinas centrales en edificios en los que se busca no sólo la funcionalidad, sino también la representación de la firma. 

Hoy en The Lemon Pear le he "robado" a nuestra compañera Elena la sección de Arquitectura, para hablaros de algunas de las obras de Arquitectura más importantes de la firma Hermès y para proponeros un juego:




Sometimes, the most essential moment from a creative house is when its discipline gets involved with others to create something completely new. The case of Hermès, the fashion brand that produces some of the most wanted bags in the world, is that of a firm that behaves somehow as a "sponsor" of Architecture, placing their headquarters and shops in buildings where they don't only aim for functionality, but for representation.

Today I stole our mate Elena's Architecture section on The Lemon Pear to talk to you about some of the most importante buildings of the Hermès firm, and to propose a game: to look for the man on the horse in each one of them: 

Hermès, "mecenas" de la Arquitectura

*By the way, since it's in Spanish, you can just have a look or you can translate it with the Google translator tool that you'll find at the bottom of the right menu of the page. If you have any problems or you can't understand something (it's not a perfect translation, I know), please don't hesitate to leave us a comment here or at The Lemon Pear, we'll be pleased to listen to you =)


¡Que tengáis un buen día!
Have a great day!

Look of the week *7* Autumn's here


Hoy es uno de esos días que descubres una firma nueva a golpe de flechazo. Normalmente, cuando me gusta una imagen en Pinterest, le pongo un like o la repineo a uno de mis álbumes. Sólo cuando realmente me interesa, pincho para ver de dónde ha salido. Y así, al enamorarme de ésta que véis arriba, ha sido cuando he pinchado y he descubierto la firma Scotch & Soda, nacida en los 80 (aunque es tal como es ahora desde 2001) con base en Amsterdam. Ya venden en más de 7000 locales en todo el mundo, y yo sin enterarme. Si queréis ver más, no tenéis más que hacer click para ir a su web.

Today's one of those days I found out a new brand, and with this one it was love at first sight. Usually, when I like an image on Pinterest, I click on "like" or repin it to one of my albums. Only when I'm really interested, I click to see where it came from. And that's how, when I fell in love with the image above, I clicked and found out the brand Scotch & Soda, born in the 80's (though it is like it is now since 2001) and Amsterdam-based. They sell their clothes in more than 7000 shops around the globe -and I didn't know. If you want to see more, just click to go to their website.

¡Feliz fin de semana! 
Happy weekend!

Hunter... curiosity

Maybe, you already know about this, but for me was a surprisingly new when I first heard about it. The well-known HUNTER boots firm has developed his quality to create a new material much more flexible which allows us to wrap the boots as in the picture below. It may sound crazy but it is probably the most useful thing that I have ever heard in terms of boots! Imagine, from now on, you will be able to carry your rain boots inside your lugagge without refusing to lose space. The new model is called ORIGINAL TOUR.



 It is simply amazing!

"Historias de una portada"

Portada de Vogue en Noviembre de 1988

Hace un tiempo, no recuerdo a raíz de qué, me inscribí a los emails de Vogue.com y desde entonces recibo como un email a la semana con algún nuevo reportaje sobre moda o bien con un artículo en el que alguien "de dentro" cuenta una historia personal relacionada con el universo Vogue. Pues bien, de todos los emails que me llegan de revistas con las últimas novedades, estos emails de Vogue (se llaman "Read my Vogue story") son mis favoritos con diferencia. 

¿Por qué? Puede ser porque en vez de bombardearme con un email lleno de contenidos que tanta pereza da abrir, me hablan de tan sólo un artículo, una historia, e incluyen una sola imagen. O porque me gusta oír historias. Porque sean verdad o no, tienen un cierto carácter íntimo. O por la magnífica calidad de las imágenes que, una vez en el artículo, se pueden ver y disfrutar.

Os dejo con un ejemplo: la historia que nos cuenta Anna Wintour, por el 120 aniversario de la revista, sobre la portada que le hizo editora jefe de Vogue en 1988 (arriba). Una portada muy inspiradora por varios motivos: porque da gusto ver una imagen "fresca" en un mundo tan sumamente estudiado, por la mezcla del high y el low, porque esa chaqueta está de plena actualidad 24 años más tarde, porque es una estupenda idea para un DIY... 
 


Not long ago, can't remember why, I suscribed to Vogue.com's emails and since then, I've been recieving about one weekly email with some fashion feature or an article where someone from the Vogue world tells a personal story related to the magazine. Well, among all the newsletters that I recieve from different magazines, it's these Vogue emails (called "Read my Vogue story") are my favourites so far. 

But why? Maybe because, instead of sending me loads of emails with loads of stories in each one, they send me just one article, one story, and one only image. Or because I like to listen to people's stories. Because, true or not, they have a certain intimate character. Or just 'cause of the high quality of the images that, once inside the article, I can watch and enjoy. 

I'll leave you one example: Anna Wintour's story, for the 120th Vogue's anniversary, about the cover that made her chief in 1988. An inspiring cover for several reasons: because it's nice to see such a "fresh" image in such a meticulous world, for it's mix of high and low, because that jacket is totally in 24 years later, because it's a great idea for a DIY...
