Vintage Bags

15 November 2011 By Vera Ciria 4 In Fashion, Things that make me Smile & Dream

It’s not often that I get to throw a bit of extra cash around, being a freelance, as many of you know, can be pretty hard sometimes. So I’m very happy to welcome two new bags into my collection in less than one week. (The Moon must be lined up with Venus, or some other occurrence).

S Moda

08 November 2011 By Vera Ciria 0 In Fashion

For the past few weeks, I really look forward to Saturdays. And not just because I can take a break and relax, there is a new reason. On the 24th of September, the Spanish newspaper El País launched their fashion magazine S Moda. For the measly price of 1.50 Euros, you can acquire the Saturday paper and the magazine, which is a lovely treat.

Beach Wedding in “Lucía se Casa” Magazine

17 October 2011 By Vera Ciria 2 In Fashion

Way back in late spring, photographer Inés of Happinés and I decided to put together another wedding shoot. The idea was to find the perfect beach location and focus on a Bohemian feel for this new editorial. After many months, our efforts have seen the light of day! In the most recent issue of the Spanish wedding magazine Lucia se Casa, we have an almost two-page spread.

Last but not Least – CMFW

21 September 2011 By Vera Ciria 0 In Fashion

Another edition of Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week comes to a close and it is with a sinking heart that I realize that not one single collection has made my hair stand on end or left me breathless. A few pieces stood out and really shone with creativity, but on the whole, there was a lack of heart, of verve, of magic and showmanship. Where is Spanish fashion headed? Is the crisis really hitting so hard as to create this lack of courage and spirit in the designers? I long for the days past when true tailoring and talent blinded us on the Spanish catwalks. I remember looking forward to seeing the proposals from the emerging fashion designers during El Ego. Now it just makes me cringe. Of course, what can be expected when Burger King is the official sponsor…
