Chucherías Cosméticas Parte II. Post Halloween

Chucherías Cosméticas Parte II. Post Halloween

Os prometí una segunda entrega de chucherías cosméticas este año y aún con la resaca de Halloween, aquí la tenéis. ¿Cómo iba a dejar fuera todos estos tesoros? Algunas de las cosas realmente se pueden confundir con golosinas por su envase o lo bien que huelen.

Berta Vázquez ya ha lucido los looks con los que triunfaremos esta Navidad

Berta Vázquez ya ha lucido los looks con los que triunfaremos esta Navidad

Parece que fue ayer cuando nos estábamos bañando en el mar bajo un sol ardiente y en un abrir y cerrar de ojos ¡ya estamos prácticamente en Navidad! Bershka se ha adelantado unas semanas y ya ha celebrado a su manera esta festividad. Para la ocasión se ha aliado con Berta Vázquez, nueva embajadora de la marca, y juntos nos han mostrado la colección “Ready to glow” con los lookazos que llevaremos en las próximas fiestas.

La actriz, que se dio a conocer gracias a su interpretación en “Palmeras en la nieve” y que a día de hoy es una de las artistas con más éxito del panorama nacional, ha posado con varias de las piezas que componen “Ready to glow” y el resultado no puede ser más espectacular. Y es que, la combinación entre una mujer tan arrolladora y unos diseños tan especiales, solo podía dar buenos frutos.

Pero, ¿qué encontramos en esta colección? Como te adelantábamos, los brillos y las lentejuelas son los protagonistas, llenando de detalles deslumbrantes vestidos, blazers, faldas e inclusos pantalones. ¿El estilo? Sus diseños nos trasladan a la época de los 80’s y 90’s, donde destacan las hombreras, los flecos y los materiales como el strass y el lamé. Y, en cuanto al colorido de las piezas, la firma de Inditex se ha decantado por combinar el clásico negro con otros tonos más llamativos como el verde o el fucsia.

¿Puede ser más maravillosa esta “Xmas Collection” de Bershka? A nosotras, ver a Berta Vázquez luciendo estos modelazos, nos ha creado la necesidad de hacernos con todo. ¿Lo mejor? Que además de llevarlos en Nochebuena o Nochevieja, vamos a seguir usando todas las piezas en nuestro día a día con zapas y camisetas. Es lo bueno que tiene la moda, ¡que en ella todo puede ser posible!

Brand New Bedding (and More!) by The Pioneer Woman

Today’s an exciting new launch of the new PW bedding collection! First up: Sheets. I’m in love with the gingham ruffle!

 
 
Next, comforters and shams. Look at this dot texture! So pretty, and a nice, subtle blue.

 
 
And a bedskirt to boot.

 
 
The breezy dot pieces also come in white. Goes with everything!

 
 
If “subtle” isn’t your end goal…you’ve come to the right place. Ha. This patchwork comforter has squares of washed velvet to give it a pretty dimension.

 
 
And pictures don’t do Fiona Floral justice. The blue is rich, almost a navy…and the flowers pop. (The comforter also looks gorgeous with plain white sheets. Layer in as much or as little pattern and color as your soul wants.)

 
 
And this chenille comes in white, teal, and coral. Solid + texture = TruLuv4Evr!

 
 
I had fun with decorative pillows this time. This Yee Haw pillow is precious in person.

 
 
I’m in love with these. Super fun, but pretty enough to park in the living room!

Here’s the link where you can browse all the new bedding…and another thing that I think you’ll be excited about:

 
Curtains. Oh my.

More on this later, but you’ll see some of the offerings on the page above.

Happy Tuesday…and sweet dreams!

Cooking Away by The Pioneer Woman

I mentioned on Confessions that I’ve been cooking away on recipes for my next cookbook.

 
 
It won’t be out until NEXT October.

 
 
It feels great to start ahead of time! This is a new concept for me.

 
 
I’m a little afraid it will be like the few time I have started Christmas shopping really early: I wind up getting too much because I have way more time than I’m used to.

 
 
Although, that will work out better for the cookbook. If some recipes are good, more recipes are better…and too many recipes are even better!

 
 
Just wanted to give you a little peek at some of the things I’ve been cooking. I’m going to try to save the recipes for the cookbook and not post them here ahead of time…

 
 
But I’ve never been really good at patience.

(P.S. I’ll be shooting over the next couple of months. I’m taking requests!)
