Yes, I have FREE WORLD WIDE SHIPPING on all the items in my shop from Nov 27th to 30th! =) Also on any custom orders you place during those dates. Who doesn't like silk accessories? And silk jewelry?
Wow! I love the colors of this scarf! I think it will look great with those black/grey/brown winter coats we all have ;)
This is a colorful and fresh looking spring/fall shawl in cotton.I have used a painting technique and let the ink flow a bit make it looks like watercolor. This cambric cotton is thin and very soft. You can wear it in many different ways. Flat on your head as a bandana or around your neck. Make it crinkled, twist it when it is damply and leave it to dry. The colors are different warm nuances of purple,brown,dark brown,fuchsia,orange and moore nuances of these. This shawl is a one of a kind. The fabric in this shawl is made by me in my atelier using the silksqreen technique.

Yeah! We might not celebrate it much here in Spain, but I remember how much fun it was in the US.
So I have selected a few items that I think would be great as halloween costume, accessories or makeup! What do you think and what are you planning for this Halloween? What costume are you going to you wear?

This will be donated throughThe Uniform Project, a very cool project you must check out (hint: it will be featured in November issue!)
First of all, I am so sorry I have been out of the blogging world for so long! I went on vacations to the US in August and after that I found I had tons of work to do at my job.. so tons of overtime.. arghhh!!
But I am finally back! And I promise some fashion reviews, gift guides, etc from next week on, when I have some more free time :)
However, as some of you already know, I couldn't forget to edit the last issue of VivaLaModa! Yes, September issue was released a couple weeks ago but I was too busy to properly introduce it to all of you =)
I really hope you like it, and remember, we are always looking for new hot topics, collaborators, ideas, comments, and advertisers!! So just contact me or post here if you want to collaborate, have a great idea or want to advertise in November issue.
In the meantime, I know I announced a giveaway for a half page ad for Sept issue and that it never happened and I never announced a winner. I was so bussy before going on vacations that I just couldn't finish the contest. I am terribly sorry for that and I deeply apologize.
However, I decided to do the contest again!!! Perfect for the Christmas season, yay!
