I have a wedding

I can't believe that it has been three weeks since the wedding, but I am extremely busy since I have started the foundation diploma in fashion design, which ( I will write soon about this) I am enjoying very much.
No me puedo creer que hayan pasado tres semanas desde la boda, pero lo ciertto que estoy realmente ocupada desde que empece a estudiar, lo cual ( planeo escribir sobre esto pronto) estoy disfrutando un monton. 

Well, three weeks ago a friends get married in Madrid, Spain. I bought the dress about one month earlier because I was one day in Camden and I a friend of mine try that lovely dress and I liked it so we both bought it in different colours. But three weeks before the wedding I had another idea, when I was watching "Sex and the City" and wanted to completely change the style,
El mes pasado unos amigo se casaron en Madrid. Yo compre el vestido un mes antes, por que un dia estab en Camden y una amiga se lo probo y me encanto asiq ue nos lo compramos las dos en diferentes colores. Peroooo como tres semanas antes de la boda tuve una nueva idea completamnete diferente cuando veia "Sexo en Nueva York", 

Unfortunately  it was more difficult in the practise than the theory. I couldn't find the right skirt, I am not good enough yet to make it and it was to much rush to do something properly, anyway I was doing some experiments for a belt with different materials.
Desgraciadamente, era mas dificil de llevar a cabo de lo que pensaba. No encontre la falda, todavia no estoy preparada para hacerla y habia mucha prisa como para hacer algo decente, de todas formas hhice unos cuantos expereminetos para un cinturon o fajin.

Therefore, I wore the first dress I bought and to be honest for this kind of thing I think your first choice is the best. It was a quiet simple lace dress in blue with a very low back, I chose a basic; quiet shiny; black shoes ( high high heels, love it! ) and to give my special touch I made a fascinator, with blue feathers.
Al final, lleve el primer vestido, y siendosincera creo que fue una eleccion muy correcta. Un vestido con encaje en azul, que como detalle tiene el escote en la esplada, elegi unos xapatos basicos, un poco brillantes, negros ( muy altos, ¿que me encantan! y para darle un toque especial me hice un tocado con plumas azules.

I have a wedding

Two friends are geting married on April, so I needed a dress. The wedding is in Spain, this means good weather in spring.  As I have been living in London for a year now I am really pale, so I have two options, fake tan  or choosing a nice colour that combines with my skin. And I don’t like fake things.

This spring the basic colours are really light (nude, coral, pink pale...). Usually these ones match better  when you are tanned, but here, in London, that's quite difficult. Maybe we could combine a  light coloured straight dress with (very trendy) floral stamped shoes. We will  enhance the dress and divert the attention from our palish skin.
Anyway, this trick won´t be helpful for me because I'm going to Spain so all people will be more tanned than me. I was thinking "I really like 50’s Style and I have always wanted an excuse to buy a nice 50’s dress"... This spring 60’s and 70’s are the vintage trends but I think  going for a 50’s look, being careful choosing the details could be very elegant and perfect for a wedding, always being original.

I know that in London there are millions of vintage shops and there are millions of 50’s clothes as well. For vintage, I think there are a few good shops in Carnaby street. It’s a great place with also plenty of the most popular brands. And what could I say about Camden Lock market? Here you can find everything you want and of course vintage clothes, not just in the shops inside, but walking around the market and leaving behind you the tube there are a few vintage shops (cheaper than the ones in the market). 

Buying 50’s clothes is usually expensive, but that’s the reality and we have to face it. I like this shop: “vivienofholloway”, it is in Holloway road. They have lots of things, not just dresses, and you can buy online there; that’s a good point when you are sure of your size. I went to Camded because I already had seen a dress that I liked somewhere else. This other place is a little shop just before the big entrance to the market. It has a lot of nice 50’s dresses but they really prohibitive for my pocket. It also has vintage umbrellas, petticoats, gloves and other styles of clothes, its name is “The Arc”. Finally my great discovery "COLLECTIF", it could seem  a little bit gothic and the truth is that it has a very gothic side of the shop but the other side is full of dresses, skirts and tops like 50’s and rockabilly, and the most important, good price. I bought this one for just £20

the color matches my skin, and it is original and elegant for the wedding and with some extra details I could get a more elegant look. 

I am still thinking about the hair style, shoes and accessories and of course a slightly tanned tights, so I will continue telling you my decisions and options.
