Summer Books and Libraries


One of the best things to do during my holidays is reading. I like to lie down at the beach or at the swimming pool, to take a book and to spend hours and hours (I take a break to eat something, for sure!). Anything complicated and with only one condition: be entertaining (no matter what kind of novel: detective, drama, romantic…). And for this summer I have four books to devour…

Durante las vacaciones una de las cosas que más me gusta hacer es leer. Me tumbo en la playa o cerca de una piscina, cojo un libro y me paso horas y horas leyendo (tomo un descanso para comer, ¡por descontado!). Nada complicado y con la única condición de que sea entretenido (no me importa si el tipo de novela que sea: drama, negra, romántica…). Y para este verano tengo cuatro libros para devorar…

"The Distant Hours" by Kate Morton, "The Prisoner of Heaven" by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, "Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L.James and "Los Buenos Suicidas" (not in English, sorry!) by Toni Hill
And because I like to own the books (I never borrow them from the public library) I adore the private libraries. Here some of my favourites…

Y como me gusta poseer los libros (nunca pido prestados en la biblioteca pública) adoro las bibliotecas privadas. Aquí algunas de mis favoritas…

My own little library (by me)
Peaceful scandinavian library (via Pinterest)
Chic library (via Pinterest)
Colorful library, impractical or not... but lovely (via woodcipandmagnolia)
White decoration (via Boligmagasinet)
With classical furniture (via The Shelby)
Although I wouldn't mind to visit this stunning library at Mälmo (via Lolitas)
Have a nice week!

Flowers and Stripes

I really don't know if it is a trend (and if it is, maybe is more than old), but I call it “the trend of mixing flowers and stripes”. And I love it! For me, an austere girl, who only have plain garments (without a tiny pattern) the stripes are something flamboyant… and if you coordinate them with flowers, then it is TOTAL! Here some examples…

Realmente no sé si se trata de una tendencia (y quizás está ya más que pasada), pero yo lo llamo “la tendencia de combinar flores y rayas”. ¡Y me encanta! Para mi, una chica austera que solamente tiene prendas lisas (sin ni siquiera un pequeño dibujo) las rayas son algo llamativo… y si lo combinas con flores, entonces es TOTAL. Aquí te dejo unos ejemplos…











And you, what do you think about it? Do you like flower & stripes?

Y tú, ¿qué piensas? ¿te gustan las flowers & stripes?

Kisses,
