Pastels for spring 2012


Sweet, fresh, romantic youth … The spring season of 2012 will come loaded with the ranges of color and sweetish charming: the pastel shades.

And if not, at least that’s what I suggest some of the most popular fashion brands in our country with the launch of its new collections for the coming months. Check out what we tell you and starts making changes in your closet, on March 20 is closer than you expected!

The feeling of softness and warmth of these tones calls wanting to finally reach the warm and pleasant spring days, where as big brands such as Zara, Bershka, Pull & Bear or a super low-cost as Primark luciremos garments in shades such as dusty pink, salmon and green smooth jade, which are at the moment have taken center stage in collections.


Pull & Bear collection presents a clear advance in the predominantly pastel, something we can see at a glance with a glance forward to your lookbook spring 2012. Dresses, jackets, shirts and even pants are stained pink and green cake to be combined with black or white depending on style (more romantic or more rebellious).


In Bershka propose two very different trends: whereas Bershka line proposes radical contrasts between lighter pinks and the most powerful black line shows trends BSK softer and combining the two previous youth with some green too.


Primark is the name you most appreciate the trend. In addition, the collection of this low-cost for spring-summer 2012 acquired a vintage that is reflected in almost every one of the garments.

A tip: remember that these tones are not rendered equally flattering for all. If you have dark skin probably any of them you feel great, but with skin blanquita surely not too favored you look too paletones such as pastel pink (pale you even more).

Clandestine love: is it worth keeping?

Keeping a secret or clandestine love is a very tense situation, risky and ultimately can lead us to ask whether it is worth keeping.

I was thinking about what topic to address as conquer the website which deals with issues of family, when I suddenly heard this iconic song Camilo Sesto has a letter which reads:

A hidden

I have to love

in secret

like a coward

Surely you’ve heard, right? And although most people associate this song to a faithless love , in an interview this prolific Spanish singer and songwriter, confessed that “A hidden” it was all those clandestine love, which for whatever reason should be hidden from public scrutiny.

This type of relationship is what we address in this case, which are numerous and whose future is really uncertain. If you are in a situation, whether for whatever reason, surely you have wondered, if it really worth it or glimpse a light at the end of the tunnel.

Why keep a record so you may have worked well at first, over the issue of adrenaline, the forbidden, of what that involves risks and dangers. But then, when the bonds become stronger not think this situation will continue to be nice. So what to do?

We will discuss the 3 types of clandestine love best known:

The first clandestine love: hide from parents

Surely many of us have been through this. Having at 13, 14, 15 years the first love was all a risk, because, for the parents of a sweet, virginal young woman who has just begun to live, all the suitors will be a shaggy, spoiled, lazy and idle who want to take advantage the apple of his eye.

Then we have to see our boy in secret and only our best friends and friends know that we are together. Sometimes even that, and then we quickly held her hand, when someone comes. But then, when we are alone, under the stairs of the building or tree in the park, then we give our first hugs and kisses, which will remain in our memory forever.

While many of these early relationships are good for the memory and the first experiences of life, I find something that girls do not see in that first moment: how right are usually our parents.In most cases they detected beyond the badly dressed, combed and not having good manners, when a boy is not for us.

Of course, adolescent rebellion and good, our right to make missteps and then learn from them, often prevails, becoming the first love of something behind the scenes. What to do? As parents, not strictly prohibited, but talk. By prohibiting, you will push your daughter over to see what may. I know many relationships that have ended even teenagers with unwanted pregnancies because of this terrible communication gap.

Love unfaithful

This type of relationship is the most common, most of what you believe, however, is unlikely to succeed, and if successful, it reaches fruition. A love born of betrayal and suffering caused to others can not end well.

Being the “other”, which will be granted only some areas of human life in dispute, do not think is something that a woman desires for herself. However, when we love, we accept excuses like “I’m just with my wife for my children” or “sleep in separate beds” or “she will not sign the divorce.” We ended up cornered in our own lies and losers.

A faithless love is not recommended under any circumstances, be the other, or be the wife that establishes a parallel relationship with another person. A relationship is a contract of love and fidelity permanent should not be broken, and broken, it must be healthy, instead of resorting to deception.

The forbidden love

There are many love affairs that end up being illegal because society, established by those around us do not. And although we say that nobody should be imposed in the decision of two people, the truth is that often does happen that others stand, and to not create “problems” and conflicts, the couple decide to take their relationship in the shadows.

Thus, a relationship is hidden from others and this, which at first may come as a pleasant adventure, ends up becoming an anguish not express the love wherever you want, can not be free to walk the streets of the hand of someone you love, let alone get to the altar and swear eternal love must be painful.

I know of a famous actress of the medium whose father stopped talking for not accepting her boyfriend, a choreographer. Finally, they decided to continue with their marriage and come out of hiding. The day of your wedding, the father did not attend, clinging to a belief silly, that ultimately ended up doing miss the most important moment in the life of his daughter.

And I also know of cases that have ended badly: I remember reading in the newspapers for a couple who decided, in the style of Romeo and Juliet, end their lives together, embraced in a hotel. His parents and friends did not accept their relationship.

In this kind of love, I recommend that the principle must apply that is us who decide whether this is worthwhile or not. It’s good to hear from people, but we must not let them impose our decisions and unless we blackmail. They must learn to accept our decisions, like it or not.

And when we do not really agree?

However, if we are blocking out the sun with one finger, and at the bottom, we know that that person is not convenient for us, we must pause to think about what we want for our future.

I heard not long ago the great psychologist Pilar Sordo talking about a resort that many women suffer: the heroines. Why do we always choose the least desirable? because unconsciously hope that through us they can change, improve, our savior complex, comes to us to make us believe that we will succeed, which is, in most cases a mirage.

If our friends and family, all in all, we advise that this person does not suit us, let us make the same question deep down within ourselves and examine whether there really have a promising future or anything. So we must make a decision to come clean with what really we want for our future. We deserve better, after all.

Sixties wedding style

I think all brides want our wedding to be beautiful and original. Options to achieve this are the wedding theme , where everything revolves around a concept. Are the most diverse ideas from a wedding to cowboy to a fairy tale style. Actually, everything depends on the tastes of the couple.

A great idea is to make it based on some special time. To me in particular I was very attracted to the sixties, because it is a time when they begin to germinate ideas like freedom, counter … how forget the hippies and all her wave begins to take shape in these years?

Furthermore, it is a very colorful style and his simple way, if you want to do something more casual, but fun. Remember, for example, that those years were in fashion very feminine details, such as gloves and flowers.

Talking with Chani Mejia Nupciale Wedding Planner , says,

“Surely the wedding theme is a favorite of brides in the coming years is the” vintage wedding. “If marriage is synonymous with romance, the 60’s contains all the elements that move the newlyweds and guests to Most interesting times. “

A dress sixties!

Let’s start with the most important and what is troubling you, this will decide if this style is yours or not: the dress! For if you do not have very clear, were the years that just had won the miniskirts top.

If in doubt, just enough to give you a look at the dress she wore when she married Yoko Ono with John Lennon (do you also animate the wide-brimmed hat?)

Our expert wedding planner of the week is in full agreement:

“The taste for the miniskirt was reflected in wedding dresses. So get ready to surprise your guests with a cute short dress that can be integrated lace, organza and other traditional fabrics. The styles were predominant style tailor (attached) and flowing style, ballerina skirt type. Another trend that follows the classic lines are long dresses and sheer lace headdresses bulky. Kate Middleton’s dress represents either the style of the era with a modern twist. “

In another modern version can also give you some if short flight. If you’re proud of your legs and think it’s a waste to cover them, this will work fine.

There are also dressed in a long flight, below the knee and narrow waist, which personally I find the most feminine and romantic. If you love the vintage, so worship.

And how to forget that this time inherited these shoes heels wide (it will look if you wear a short dress) and incredible platform that at least allow you to be rested and very high for your wedding.

Your personal grooming!

Just make those collected very voluptuous hair and you got like 10 inches taller. Your inspiration may be the divas of those years as the beautiful Audrey Hepburn .

With this video you will find a very clear idea of the hairstyles you can opt for following the line of the sixties.

Chani, our specialist, also gives us guidance about makeup:

“It should definitely highlight eyes with eyeliner and mask strong shadows and shades of blue or green. The effect is feline. False eyelashes should be long and plentiful. Lips in pastel shades. ”

To the touch, maybe you can inspire in some of the photography. Delicate and simple, they are super flirty. The straw hat is best for an outdoor wedding and in the field. Our expert tells us that:

The headdress can be integrated fabric flowers, tulle, satin ribbons or hats. And the bouquet is lush and pastel colors. The tapes were widely used at the time. The used model was kind heart. “

60’s style decor

How to fix the place is essential for building an atmosphere in which all elements follow the same theme. In this case the hippie decor, with lots of colors (orange, yellow, pink or green), rainbow or symbols of peace will be lovely. Remember also that is a very happy event, so I said the weather will be very harmonious and joyful.

Even if you’re worried exaggerating, consider that according to our specialist:

“While color trends in the decade were strong and even fluorescent, under the influence hippie at the wedding cake colors predominated, in line classical.La 60s style wedding has its ideal in a classroom, and if with floor board patterns or, even better. It is imperative that your decorator integrates elements of the time (tables, chairs, cream or white lamps). Tables should be lengthened, dressed in tablecloths to the floor. “

So you decide if you let go or the psychedelic sixties classic!

In this case, flowers are your allies, dispose of them anywhere, in any corner, but are simple flowers. You can even ask your guests to use in their attire and of course you and the groom.

Another idea is to use only psychedelic designs or flowers (typical of these years) in the tablecloth or napkins. If you do it in a closed room may want to cover some walls with these designs.

Some extra details for your wedding 60’s

They are just small details that will give your wedding chic and unique that you were looking for.Your guests can particle ties, sunglasses, pins or hats psychedelic and colorful flowers to the flap.

“The car of the couple can go d ROM a Cadillac or a Lincoln Pontiac to the time. If convertible best: the tradition was reached with the covered wagon and left the church without a roof. “

Maybe even provoke you arrive or leave in a car color, very sixties.

And how to forget about the cake? Just a few flowers, so you have also the retro style you wanted.

And of course, do not forget to include some songs from the 60’s at some point in the celebration. On this, our wedding planner tells us:

“This decade has brought the best music. Issues can not miss the Beatles, Aretha Franklin and The Temptations. A beautiful song for the couple’s income is “I’ve got you babe” Sony and Cher.”

Have fun!

ACCESSORIES H & M SPRING 2012

I have seen the collection of accessories H & Mlaunched for Spring 2012 and only made ​​me look at the past. No, not that it has inspired a decade of the twentieth century, but that the firm has endeavored to innovate or to show something other than what can be seen in any store.

And there is no article that has me really excited to go shopping. The ethnic necklaces, with geometric or animal that simulate teeth, repeated over and over outfits that could sell any ‘perroflauta’ on the street. Same with the woven bracelets and colors that I’m tired of looking at the summer beach bars, or with fabric flowers for hair.

If there is something that seems ready to H & M is no risk. So his briefcase type bags (Doctor bag), a trend of all brands pulled strongly in 2012 , is the proposal for this season. The worst thing is that the tone may have female among so many straps and buckles, they take it off with a brown masculinizes it further.

For lovers of flats or ballerinas, like me, there are a variety of colors and patterns, but none that makes you feel the impulse to have them already. Did you see the sandals? Yes, very well for the season, but neither surprised nor in tone and design.

I think certainly the most unfortunate of accessories is the panther bracelet, a clear imitation of the animal that Cartier – yes, Cartier – plays on your jewelry.When a classic blatantly copied, rather than draw attention, it becomes a gross object.

Any recommendations? The point towards the slender belts that can be combined on blouses and pants to the waist and the rings of colors as a button, for those more casual and youthful looks.
