Tuesday's Quote #2

   Hello lovelies! I hope you had/ are having a wonderful day because mine was pretty amazing as the whether has been beautiful here. For this week's "Tuesday's Quote" post I brought one I found on tumblr yesterday and had to share with all of you.

   This quote is so so true. To be honest, I feel like you just need to read it once to realize that is true that the real beauty is a mix of the best you can look outside and the best you can be as a person.

   So invest on how you look, with make-up and lovely clothes, but don't forget to pay attention on how you are growing as a person. Because even thought you stop growing at the age of 18, your personality keeps on changing as long as you live.

   I hope you liked today's post and don't forget to tell me what you think in the comments!

   Lots of love,
   Patricia :)

My Monday Inspiration: Ariana Grande

   Hello dear readers! For this week's "My Monday Inspiration" I have the lovely Ariana Grande. Ariana is my all time favorite artist. She is just so adorable and has a great voice. Her style is also amazing so I decided to include her in these series.

   Ariana's biggest style inspiration (or one of the) is Audrey Hepburn. Therefore, her style is based in the 20's, but is almost like a modern version of it.

  • First of all, Ariana's style includes a lot of floral patterns. She is all about them. Most of her clothes have flowers in pastel colours, like marshmallow white, light pink, baby blue... I do think Ariana is one of the few artists that can rock this pattern, because it generally looks a bit childish on others. But not on ariana!
  • Also, Ariana has two statement hair styles. The ponytail, which she used to wear a lot more a few years ago, and the half-up half-down, which is the hairstyle she is wearing in the first picture. Ariana always wears this hairstyle and it looks so good on her.


  • In this two pictures we can see that Ariana also has an obsession with dresses. She obviously wears them mostly to red carpet events but a lot of the time you will see her with more casual ones just out and about. Once again, we can see, in the second picture, that Ariana is wearing her favorite hairstyle, the half-up half-down. She used to wear a lot of bows on her hair, as well, like in the second picture, but she doesn't wear them as much anymore.


  • Lastly, Ariana also loves to show her fit tummy. She recently started to wear a lot of cropped tops, either for normal days, like in the first picture, or for performaces, like in the second one. Although in the first picture she is wearing jeans, she tends to wear cropped tops with high-waisted shorts or circle skirts. It is just more her style and, in my opinion, this type of outfit is the one that suits her best and she always looks lovely when wearing it.


   I hope you enjoyed this week's "My Monday Inspiration" and feel free to leave in comments any suggestions you may have for next week's one. I would love to know who is your style inspiration!

   Lots of love,
   Patricia :)

Loves of the week #2

   Hello everyone! I hope you had an amazing week. Mine was very fun and I am so glad because I got to hang out with one of my great friends that I hadn't seen in ages.

   Today I have the second "episode" of my series "Loves of the week". So here are my favorites:




   1. This week I discovered my new televison obsession. It is a show called Devious Maids. At first, I wasn't too thrilled with the plot, but I decided to watch the first episode anyways. I am so glad I did because now I am totally addicted to it! And it is good because since 90210 is over and The Carrie Diaries is on hiatus, I didn't have any fun tv-shows to watch and I was feeling very bored. I would recommed you to check out this series, it is amazing!



   2. Secondly I have this song, by Selena Gomez. I don't know if you heard it yet but it is pretty amazing. Very fun and perfect for a party or to dance by yourself when no one is watching. I seriously can't wait for her album as I am loving all her new songs.


   3. For nail polish I have this one from Kiko, in the colour 359. I love this colour. It is a beautiful peachy orange and it's perfect for summer. It also looks great with tanned skin. The formula is amazing and the prices for these nail polishes are pretty affordable. I have some and I never had a problem applying them. One coat is all you need but I normally put on a second one just to make sure it lasts an whole week (I do not use top coat and it lasts 1 week with no chipping). The only downside is the nail polishes don't have names. That would make them a lot more fun.

   4. My last favorite is sushi! Oh... How I love sushi. Honestly, I could live out of sushi if I had to. It's just so good!! This week I had sushi two times and that is why I am including it in this week's favorites, even though I have loved sushi for years.

   Well, I hope you enjoyed this post and tell me which were your favorites this week. I would love to know.

   Lots of love,
   Patricia :)

Throwback Thursday: Gossip Girl

   If you have instagram you know that thursdays are special as everyone rushes to find cute old pictures to hashtag with Throwback Thursday.

   That being said, I decided it would be fun to do the same thing in my blog. It can be a throwback of any kind: fashion, make-up, music, televison...

   Today, I have gossip girl as a throwback. This tv-show was literally my life. I loved it. I watched every episode and even though it changed a lot throughout the years, I kept on loving it.


   So, in this collage, there is a picture of my favorite couple if the series (Chuck and Blair) and a picture of my favorite characters, Blair and Serena. 

   Chuck and Blair, Blair and Chuck. Oh... They were just so perfect. Their relationship was the kind of relationship every girl secretly wants. They were fierce and fabulous and so different and unique. 

   Blair and Serena, on the other hand, were the type of bestfriends you would not want to have. But they were so lovely at the same time they made you think that maybe, just maybe, having a friend like that was what you needed.


   Personality wise, Blair was always my favorite character. She was so elegant and unique and she kind of reminds me of myself (but, don't worry, I am not mean). In the beginning she was also my style inspiration as I always loved the 20's and that kind of look. However, I do think her fashion sense decreased in the last 2 seasons. I mean, it was still great, but just not my cup of tea.


   Serena, on the other hand, was the character I didn't really like at first, but began to love her. Her personality, in the beginning of the show, did not attract me and she wasn't that stylish.

   However, as the tv-show went by, Serena changed a lot. She grew as a person and her fashion sense increased a lot. In the last seasons, she was definetely my fashion inspiration as her style was very bohemian but, at the same time, super elegant and chic. And that was why I began to love her. Besides, Blake Lively is beautiful.

   I hope you liked this post and tell me, did you like Gossip Girl or that show wasn't your cup of tea? It was definetely mine :).

   XOXO,
   Patricia :)

Flower Crown Obsession

   I seem to be attracted to flowers as I found a new flower related obsession. This time, it is not a pattern in clothes, but an accessory obsession. Flower Crowns.

   They have such a vintage look and they look good in everyone! I really really want one and I have been looking everywhere for the perfect one. Claire's has some cute ones so if I were you I would check their website for more information :)

   So here are my favorite pictures with flower crowns that I have discovered so far:


   In these pictures you can see very big flower crowns. This ones are the hardest to wear everyday as they are very fluffy and have a bunch of big flowers. However, I believe they are perfect for a dinner on the beach with your friends in a casual but still cute outfit, or even for going out at night. The only rule is that you can't dress to fancy as the vibe that these big flower crowns give is a more chilled, relaxed one.


   On the other side, in these pictures you can see thiner flower crowns, which are much easier to wear and you can totally wear them on a daily bases, to lunch or to go shopping. They just add something extra to your hair and outfit but they don't stand out to much. The perfect example is the first picture, the one where Selena (I definetely have an obsession with her style...) is rocking one with a very casual, everyday outfit. These flower crowns are also easier to find and I believe you will be able to find them at almost every clothes/accessories store.

   So, what do you think about this accessory? Yay or Nay? For me, it is definetely a yay, I find them so beachy and cute.

   I hope you enjoy this post and leave in the comments any suggestions you may have for future posts :).

   Lots of love, 
   "Flower obsessed" Patricia :)

Tuesday's Quote: Style

   Hello everyone! Today I was scrolling my facebook page when I saw this quote and I thought it would be the perfect one to start my Tuesday's series. Every Tuesday you will be surprised with a different quote. All positive and happy ones as I believe that those are the ones that truly inspire us.

   This one is about style and I think that it is so so so true. In reality, style isn't about coping others, it is about wearing what you want, what you like. And it is true that we get inspiration from various places, like celebreties or even friends, but that also happens in our daily life. We are inspired by the people we love but we do not copy them.

   I feel like that is style. Being inspired by your everyday life, by what you like and what you don't like. By who you are and by who you always dreamed you could be.

   So be different, be who you are and dress up as you wish.

   Lots of love, 
   Patricia :)

My Monday Inspiration: Selena Gomez

   To inspire you all to look cute and fashionable for the week, I decided I want to start a series called "My Monday Inspiration". So, every single Monday, I will chose a person and talk a little bit about their style.

   This week's it girl is Selena Gomez. To be honest, I didn't use to pay much attention to her clothes, as I always thought they were not my style, at all. However, for the past year or two, Selena always gets my attention when it comes to fashion (and music, to be honest). She completely changed her style and is now very bohemian, which I love. She also looks a lot more confident, which I appreciatte in fashionistas as I believe that you should be confident in your clothes to be able to rock them.

   Although Selena's style is very bohemian and laid-back, she always looks fabulous and elegant and I also love her red carpet looks. They are always so fun.

   So here are some of my favorite "Selena looks":

  •  In this outfit Selena looks very polished and elegant. It is not very bohemian but it's definetely classy. Perfect for a date or a meeting or even a normal work day. And it is not too formal as she paired the blazer with jeans, which lays it back a little bit.


  •  In these three pictures Selena is definetely rocking the bohemian style. She looks very laid-back but elegant at the same time. She also seems to enjoy pairing her outfits with fun accessories like the sunglasses she is wearing in the second picture, which make the outfit stand out and look a little more polished.


  • Finally, these two are my favorite outfits. They are both extremely bohemian-chic and they both include printed pants, which are very summery and comfortable but fashionable at the same time. With the bright, fun pants Selena paired neutral pieces which I love because it makes the pants stand out.


   I hope you liked this post and please leave suggestions of people you would want to see feautured in my "My Monday Inspiration".

   Lots of love,
   Patricia :)
