Definitely she is one of the most classy actresses in Hollywood history. She has this unique style that fits her perfectly and that every woman would like to achieve once or twice ;) It never goes out of style because this style means finding the perfect clothes for your shape (basic lines and colors) and wearing them all your life! :)

As Hepburn herself said, "Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large glasses and the little sleeveless dresses."


First of all, usual Audrey clothes are:

1. For everyday: skinny black jeans, pastel polos, turtle-neck sweaters, ballerina flats.
2. Formal: simple knee-length black dress

Accessories: oversized sunglasses, white or black gloves for formal nights, leather bag with wooden handles and pearl or diamond necklace and/or earrings.

So let's see what I could find in Etsy that looks like Audrey clothes! :)



Sellers, from left to right, top to bottom, are (link to the item): myfavoritevintage, chechi72, myblackdress, thepebblecollection, setene, Hende, michon, VintageFallingLeaves, softspoken, Lecuteoure, flutter, mysweetiepiepie, kultlichnosti, forestofice, hydroxide, bellemichou

Now that we have the clothes + accessories... it's time for hair & makeup!!
For this I have found 2 awesome videos that explain step by step how to do the makeup and the hair.
Enjoy them!

I'm going on holidays all this week, until the 13th, to south Spain! yay! Here I come 40 celsius degrees in the shade! hehe Thank god for cold beer, red wine, sangria... and tapas!

So, enjoy the last posts, read again the latest fashion trends and enter this week's giveaway :) I will be back in no time with more fashion!

Enjoy the week!

I know it's not Monday but I am not able to post anything on Monday so I shifted days :)

This one is one of the most fabulous things I have ever given away! It was offered to this blog by the amazing bonzie. I can't stop drooling at her clothes! So today bonzie offers the readers of this blog one of her amazing corsages (brooches): A Haunted Bloom Corsage Large

I love this haunted bloom and I think it would look great for a wedding (bride or guest), and it can be used as a fascinator too (isn't that cool?).

Remember the Get Carrie Bradshaw's look post I did a while ago? This brooch is totally a Carry item! :) She'd love to have one of this.

But, what does the artist have to say about it?

This large romantic layered tattered corsage as a beautiful time worn appeal. Featuring distressed edges and deconstructed French sacking cloth against a rich ivory shimmer organza. A little nest of pearls adorn the centre of this flower.

This piece would make a stunning accessory for your wedding as an addition to your wedding dress or simply wear it as a fascinator. If you are not heading down the aisle anytime soon just add it to your favourite vintage cardigan for instant tattered chic.

This piece measures 6 and a half inches in diameter.


Rules to enter:

1. Visit bonzie's shop and pick a favourite item.
2. Leave a comment in this post with your favourite item and a way to contact you (email or etsy link. Leave a contact or I won't be able to place you in the draft).

The previous giveaway still runs until 6th July midnight so keep posting! =) However, I won't be able to announce the winner until Monday 14th due to lack of Internet.

Yup, that's where I live. Ok, the name might not ring a bell, but what if I tell you here is where we have SanFermines? The running of the bulls? Yes... bulls running in the streets lol =) The fiesta became worldwide famous thanks to Hemingway. Now it is rated one of the 5th best parties of the world (in the top 5 there are 3 spanish fiestas - seems we know how to party! lol)
So San Fermines (or the running of the bulls for the rest of the world) starts tomorrow (6th July) and ends the 14th.
Obviously, what does this have to do with fashion?
Well, the city suffers a fashion transformation those 9 days!!
You can totally spot someone from Pamplona (the city population doubles in those dates) because he will be one of the only people wearing: white shirt, white trousers, red neck scarf and red belt.

And then you have the foreigners who mostly wear jeans or those typical safari american shorts LOL with maaaaaaaaaaybe a white shirt and a red neck scarf.
More and more the foreigners try to dress with the "uniform" of the fiesta hehe But there is one thing they don't know!
If you are buying a pais of white trousers, get the crapiest ones you can find cause you'll throw them away at the end of the party (seriously). NEVER and I mean NEVER wear sandals or FLIP FLOPS. Believe me, it's for your own security. The floor is flooded with disgusting substances (lol) + broken glass.

To sum up, San Fermines is definitely one of the best fiestas I have ever seen, if you like to be in a crowded place, and drink a lot :) Definitely worth seeing at least once in a lifetime! And maybe you can run in front of the bulls, right? =) And go see a bullfight (we have a different concept of a bullfight than in the rest of spain, as we only go to drink and throw stuff at people lol I don't remember ever looking at the bulls)

So.... do you want to come next year? =) Dennis Rodman comes every year to run in front of the bulls!

Sellers are always looking for new ways of promoting their work or thank you cards to send to customers, right?
Today I bring you a great offer: get a discount in promo items! (buttons, magnets, gift tags, notepads, etc) at TagsAndButtons's shop


My favourites are the mini matchbox notepads and the combo with buttons :) The colors of these buttons remind me that today is 4th July, so... Happy Birthday United States! =)

Get 15% off the purchase price of your order by entering "GilbeaBlog" in the note to seller section. Then, either wait for a revised invoice to pay, or be refunded through paypal the discount amount. (Discount will not be taken off the shipping price).

If you like her work, hurry up cause the sale runs only until 31th July midnight EST.

If you are a seller of handmade or vintage items and want to offer a discount or giveaway in this blog, please leave a comment here and I will contact you.

Everyday I get in my mail the latest post of the fashion blog New Found Lust by eatsleepcraft. I start my day with that fashion bit and I love it!

So a few weeks ago I read one of her posts about the ruffles trend and loved it so much I had to make my own version of it offering you all the ruffle Etsy items I could find =)

Sellers, from left to right, top to bottom, are (link to the item): idea2lifestyle, hollystalder, kimenna, roselabiche, darhling, TickledPinkKnits, Nostalgia, AftonRiver, Silvia66, hollystalder, Makool, tamilyn, PersimmonHill, emmapardos, VC2o, NikkiFaith

I have never been a big fan of ruffles because I always thought it was too girly, but some of these items look really cool! The trick is to not wear a dress full of ruffles... Nothing with too many ruffles! Or you will look like this:


I hope you liked them too! Are you going to add some ruffles to your wardrobe this summer? Or to your collection? Let me know what do you think.

Thanks Estefania for writing such an awesome blog! =)

And I had totally forgotten to announce it to the public (she already knows), the winner of the orange felt cake is twocheeseplease! Congratulations!
Currently I have another giveaway in this blog, a fantastic pendant. Please check it out!
