Vogue Paris November 2010

Quería poner una selección, pero ha sido difícil resisterse a colgarlas casi todas... No tengo mucho que decir sobre el reportaje, me parece que habla por sí solo.

City of Magic

Photo taken yesterday night near El Prado.
You can see the almost full moon and the church Los Jerónimos.

Yesterday we had a beautiful night in Madrid...

I was walking to my roller skating class in El Retiro when I took this picture. I was just wearing knee length shorts and a light pullover and the weather was perfect. Not warm, not cold.

It was about 8 pm and the sun was suddenly gone. I was in the middle of this wonderful city but felt as If I were in a chanted forest. Everything was so still, the romantic yellowish lights in every corner. There was a gentle breeze that ran through the trees, it felt fresh and alive. It made me feel happy for what I am and what I have, and for what I know that’s about to come. I believe in a magic and wonderful future, and that makes my present be magic also.

Please, If you ever have the opportunity don’t doubt to visit this city. Its a city of light and blue sky during the day that becomes magical and full of shades when the night comes. You can meet anyone here. This city will always surprise you. Palaces, beautiful old buildings, botanical gardens and cobbled streets have a million secrets waiting for you to discover them and enchant you a little more every day.

And Friday again...

I know that time for bathing is gone but I just love the colors of these pics.

Today is really cloudy in Madrid (what is weird here even during winter) and we all know that autumn is becoming a reality. Leaves in El Retiro are a mixture between yellow and brownish and the air is cooler. The sun leaves us earlier every day and you need electric light at 8 pm, when sunlight lasts until 10 pm during summer.

We start to see the kids with their school uniform again and the camel trench is once again a neighbour in this city.

Welcome autumn!

Maybe cuz its my bday this month, maybe because I love changes.
I do not know really why I like autumn so much. I remember how my mom used to take me shopping to Palma (Mallorca) for my school bag, my school books and school uniform. How everything smelt new and funny. How we started classes each year hoping for new kids in our class or meeting our friends and classmates again. Do not know why it is, probably a mixture of everything, but I just love autunm.

beautiful home

I would love to have a home like this one some day. I love living in the city but also living in the middle of anywhere. I like the tree branches sticking in my windows and I imagine how peaceful and graceful would a grey or stormy day be in this home. With little candles and indirect light lamps around the room, reading a good book and listening to soft music, with a cup of tea, chocolate, wine or whatever you prefer... I just love the idea.

I got this picture at Lena Corwin blog (http://blog.lenacorwin.com/) and I believe that this house is located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

Tuesday

Sometimes I just want to fly away... the further the better

Friday :)

Este finde va a ser el primero desde junio que tengo oportunidad de quedarme descansando en casa, en Madrid... Aprovecharé para recolocar el salón, pintar alguna pared de marrón y de cuidar de mi gatito recién adoptado, Roberto.

Tenía ya ganas de un finde tan ligero. No aviones. No autopistas. Solo una camita y quizá algo de la maravillosa vida nocturna del verano madrileño.
