Closet addition: Baggy pants

For some reason I recently became obsessed with getting my hands on, what I like to call, "Aladdin Pants". Tomorrow I'm boarding a flight home (Panama for a week) and I was convinced that these pants would be the perfect solution for long plane rides (10 hours + 3 hours to be exact) and lay overs in between.

I have never been a fan of traveling in track suits or sweat pants because when you finally reach your destination it isn’t exactly the cutest thing to be wearing if you go out to eat after. So after searching the stores I found them!! The problem was I liked 2 pairs (very different one from the other) and couldn’t decide between both.... sooo…yea.... I got both... 

What I love is that you can dress them up or dress them down... wear with heels to dinner with friends or flats to walk around the city during the day! Yup.. I'm obsessed!!

Pants: Mango

Erika. Just like me.

After an abnormal missing in action from my part on Beautifully imperfect, I'm back and hoping to not disappear like I have before. 

My current obsession and crave for this spring and summer months are the Ray Ban Erika sunglasses! And I think I’m even more obsessed with the fact that they are named just like me (spelling and everything). My big debacle is whether to get them in the mint color (which doesn’t combine with everything) the nude or the tortoise. But I have one thing clear, they WILL be mine.

What do you guys think? What color should I get?

Spring Break

Spring is finally here... and with spring comes spring break! Starting today we are officially on break (but not entirely because we have some school work to do) and I am beyond exited because a cousin of mine is visiting me here in Madrid! For those of you on break as well, have fuun and enjoy!

My weak spot

I have always had a weak spot for a certain breed of dog... The Westie! Whenever I see them around I just melt a little inside. I am determined that at some point in my life I am going to own a westie and his name shall be "Super patas" or Patas for short....

I mean look at that face... how could you not want one!!

Valencia

This past weekend was a long weekend here in Spain, so I went with a couple of friends from my masters to Valencia to the famous traditional yearly celebration called "Fallas". This name refers to both the monuments created and to the actual celebration. Famous artist spend the entire year working hard and building these beautiful monuments to then burn them on the last night called "La Cremá".

Another beuatiful sight is seeing "Las Falleras" in their traditional gowns walking around Valencia. Some walk in a religious processions and offer flowers to a empty construction of the "Virgen de los Desamparados" which are then placed in the empty slots to create a cloak with a beautiful design.

The Odyssey

The other night my roommate posted on my wall am amazing video from Cartier, a mini movie depicting a little bit of its history, values and artistic inspiration. The video pretty much speaks for itself... Si I'll let it.
