The Beauty of Spring

sSpringtime is made for being cheerful; colors start blooming as flowers do, and the new bright light lets us enjoy every object as if it was the first time we saw it. Food becomes a new pleasure, trips for the summer are planned and dreamed about, and we fall in love with old clothes again. This is my favorite time to go to museums, parks and new cities, the best weather to enjoy my friends, ride bikes, read tons of books and have breakfast joined by the morning breeze.
La primavera está hecha para estar contento; los colores aparecen junto con las flores, y la nueva luz, mucho más brillante, nos permite disfrutar de cada cosa como si fuese la primera vez que la viéramos. La comida se convierte en un placer, se planean y se sueñan los viajes del verano y nos volvemos a enamorar de la ropa vieja. Es mi momento preferido para ir a museos, parques y nuevas ciudades, con el clima ideal para aprovechar el tiempo con amigos, montar en bici, leer un montón de libros y desayunar acompañado del viento de la mañana.

My black cat with bat ears is more and more curious about this new season, and so he travels around the building, smelling every new aroma (even if it is our neighbour's fries).
Mi gato negro con orejas de murciélago cada vez le da más y más curiosidad la nueva estación, así que viaja por el edificio oliendo los nuevos aromas (aunque sean las papas fritas del vecino)

Nature wakes up, and we wake up with it; we are born again with the sunrays that make us take our sweaters off.
La naturaleza se despierta, y nosotros con ella; volvemos a nacer con los rayos de sol que hacen que nos quitemos las chaquetas.

We stop enjoying the cozy winter, only to welcome the season that fills us with energy

Cozy Winter


Estaba aquel aire saturado por lo más exquisito de un silencio tan nutritivo y suculento, que yo andaba por allí casi con golosina, sobre todo en aquellas mañanas, frías [...]

"Por el camino de Swann", Marcel Proust.

Mmm... hot chocolate with marshmellows... I would love some :)
Just a few days for me to come back home for Christmas! You have no idea how much i miss my cat!! (and family ^^) / Mmm... chocolate caliente con nubes... me encantaría tomarme una taza ahora :) ¡Sólo quedan unos días para volver a casa por Navidad! No no se dan una idea de todo lo que extraño a mi gata! (y a mi familia ^^)

But what I miss the most is spending time with my friends ♥ / Pero lo que más echo de menos es pasar tiempo con mis amigas ♥
I've been seeing pre-fall collections... I should say I find them pretty different and... some of them even weird! Though I loved Jason Wu's, and Chanel's showed, I think, a nice change. / He estado mirando las pre-colecciones de otoño... tengo que decir que me parecieron bastante distintas y algunas, hasta un poco raras. Pero me encantó la de Jason Wu, y la de Chanel mostró, creo, un buen cambio.



If you feel like listening to some carols: / Por si se sienten con ganas de escuchar villancicos:

Have yourself a merry little Christmas - Frank Sinatra



Happy Xmas (War is over) - John Lennon

So fall is here...

November 24th

Finally :) / Por fin :)

I wonder... which are the clues that make me feel fall is here...? / Me pregunto... ¿Cuáles son las pistas que me hacen sentir el otoño?

1st: I am sick at home (again!)
so, I went to spend two days in a friend's, whose parents take care of me as they were my own :) But now I'm home again, and I have is my roommates to feel good and my lovely friend to visit me. Delicious chocolate talk. /1ª: estoy enferma (de nuevo) Así que fui a pasar un par de días a la casa de una amiga, y sus padres me cuidan como si fueran los míos :) Pero ahora estoy de vuelta en casa, y tengo a mis compañeros de piso para sentirme bien y a mi querida amiga para visitarme. Deliciosa charla con chocolate.

2nd: We're preparing Thanksgiving
International thenksgiving (as you may already know, I'm in Madrid, living with two american guys and a girl from Andalucía. Plus, two of our guests are French, so I guess it'll be fun) Tomorrow's the day and just now my rommate Evan came into the kitchen with the Turkey... what's its name...? Turkey Anson (We miss you!) Waoh, you should see it, it's huge! and we've got pumpkin too. God, we're going to start cooking right now! This is so exiting! My first Thanksgiving dinner!!! /2ª: estamos preparando acción de gracias. Un acción de gracias internacional (como ya sabrán, estoy en Madrid, viviendo con dos chicos americanos y una chica de Andalucía. Además, dos de nuestros invitados son franceses, así que supongo que va a ser entretenido) Mañana es el día, y mi compañero Evan acaba de entrar en la cocina con el pavo... ¿cómo se llama...? El pavo Anson (te echamos de menos!) Guau, deberían verlo, es enorme! Y también tenemos una calabaza. Dios, vamos a empezar a cocinar ahora mismo! Qué emocionante! Mi primera cena de acción de gracias!

3rd: It's quite cold outside
5 degrees, sometimes even colder; but I can't stop going for walks with friends / 3ª: hace frío en la calle. 5 grados, a veces incluso más frío, pero no puedo dejar de salir a dar paseos por ahí con mis amigas

4th: I feel like reading "Leaves of Grass"
/ 4ª: tengo ganas de leer "Hojas de hierba"

5th: The world has become brown, orange, yellow and red.
Here are some pictures I found somewhere in the Internet form el Parque del Retiro. I think they're great for you to see how Fall is in Madrid: / 5ª: el mundo se ha vuelto marrón, naranja, amarillo y rojo. Aquí hay un par de fotos que encontré por internet del Parque del Retiro. Creo que son ideales para que vean cómo es el otoño de Madrid:

Nice, right?! / Bonito, no?

6th: I wear coats, and love new items in stores.
Have you taken a look at Oysho's new collection?/ 6ª: Me pongo abrigos, y me enamoro de los nuevos artículos de las tiendas. ¿Vieron la nueva colección de Oysho?

you may wonder what it has to do with fall. well, I miss it in Fall as well :( / 7ª: extraño muchísimo a mi gata. se preguntarán qué tiene que ver eso con el otoño. bueno, en otoño la extraño de todas maneras. :(

You can't miss this new precious video for vanessa bruno, with Lou Doillon and Vallentine Fillol Cordier! It's fantastic!/ No se pueden perder esta preciosidad de video para Vanessa Bruno, con Lou Doillon y Vallentine Fillol Cordier! Es fantástico!


Some Leaves of Grass for you. / Unas hojas de hierba para ustedes.



I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars,
And the pismire is equally perfect, and a grain of sand, and the egg of the wren,
And the tree-toad is a chef-d’oeuvre for the highest,
And the running blackberry would adorn the parlors of heaven,
And the narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery,
And the cow crunching with depress’d head surpasses any statue,
And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels,
And I could come every afternoon of my life to look at the farmer’s girl boiling her iron tea-kettle and baking shortcake.


Peace and Love,

Just in the mood for it...

Last days before going to Ibiza: I'm so exited, I can barely believe it!!
So, we're enjoying our last afternoons and nights... Some dinner, wine, deep and not deep at all talk, and Audrey films.
/ Últimos días antes de ir a Ibiza: tengo tnatas ganas, que apenas puedo creérmelo!! Estamos disfrutando nuestras últimas tardes y noches... algo de cena, vino, charlas profundas, otras para nada profundas, y películas de Audrey.

And, my hated and beloved last days of shopping summer clothes before Sales. Why beloved? because I do enjoy shopping, and seeing clothes, and trying them... why hated? because I know few weeks from now it will be much cheaper. I would like to get a light white dress, some shorts, a new handbag and some sandals. I guess I only have to start looking for it.
/ Y mis adorados y odiados últimos días de compras antes de las rebajas. ¿Por qué adorados? porque me encanta ir de compras, ver la ropa y probármela.... ¿por qué odiados? porque sé que dentro de unas pocas semanas va a estar mucho más barato. Me gustaría conseguir un vestido ligerito y blanco, unos pantalones cortos, un bolso nuevo y unas sandalias. Supongo que es cuestión de ir a buscarlos.

Something else I'm dying for? this look: perfect navy + naïve / Algo más que muero por conseguir? este look: la convinación perfecta entre el navy y el naïve

Mr moonlight

Or, should I say Mr. firelight?
What a night the St. John's
It was.... really surrealistic. Well, I guess that's the way it should be: magic. I laughed sheltered by the sound of waves and people chatting and singing, I was mesmerized by the fire and its strange sparks, and danced to the rhythm of drums wearing a long skirt, which brushed my legs over and over, and the dark sand hit by my feet.
It was everything I could ask for a night.
/O más bien diría "Mr firelight"
Menuda noche la de San Juan.
fue... muy surrealista. pero bueno, supongo que es lo que debía ser: mágica. Reí cobijada por el ruido de las olas y de la gente charlando y cantando, me hipnoticé con el fuego y sus caprichosas chispas, y bailé a ritmos de tambores con una falda larga y ligera rozando mis piernas, y arena oscura chocando contra mis pies.
Y fue todo lo que le pude pedir a la noche.
"You came to me one Summer night...
And the nights you don't come my way, I'll pray and pray more each day...
because we love you, Mr. Moonlight"
Peace and Love,
Penny Lane ♥

Just a clue!

Guess where I'm going... / Adivinen adónde voy...



I am so glad I finally know where I'm going. It's gonna be amazing, I'm sure!! The place where we're going is near a beach where a party starts every time the sun comes down... I can't wait!
Estoy tan contenta de saber por fin a dónde voy. Va a ser increíble, estoy segura! El lugar donde nos vamos a quedar está cerca de una playa, donde empieza una fiesta cada vez que se pone el sol... no puedo esperar!!


So, what am i taking? Airlines are harder and harder everyday about the baggage policies, so the solution we found was: sharing wardrobes. We have our days numbered (a week or so), that's why sharing our luggage doesn't make our wardrobes potential decrease, but it makes it increase =). Light dresses, plenty of white clothes, short shorts, and the whole day wearing comfortable sandals. Not to mention bracelets, necklaces, and, my favorite part, Summer hats and sunglasses. All my bikinis are going straight to my suitcase!! And, meanwhile, I only hope to come back with a great tan and a lot of experiences to remember./Y, qué voy a llevar? Las compañías aéreas cada vez son más duras con respecto al equipaje, así que la solución que encontramos fue: compartir armario. Con los días contados (algo más de una semana) compartir equipaje no reduce sino que multiplica las posibilidades que tendría un solo armario =) . Vestidos ligeros, mucha ropa blanca, pantaloncitos cortísimos y todo el día en cómodas sandalias. Eso sin contar las pulseras, los collares y, mi parte favorita, los sombreros y gafas veraniegos. Todos mis bikinis van directos a la maleta!! Y, mientras tanto, sólo espero volver con la piel negra del sol, y con un montón de experiencias que recordar...


Peace and Love,
Penny Lane ♥

Summer Plans

These days it's all been about planning my vacation.... Reggio di Calabria? Sicilia? Formentera? Mykonos? All I know is that I'm going to go to white beaches, and wild parties with my friends for a week. I'm so exited about it. And you, what are you doing this summer??
/ Estos días todo lo que he hecho ha sido planear mis vacaciones... Reggio di Calabria? Sicilia? Formentera? Mykonos? Todo lo que sé es que voy a pasar una semana en playas blancas y fiestas salvajes con mis amigas. ¡Tengo tantas ganas! Y ustedes, qué van a hacer este verano?
