Today is the first anniversary of this blog, one of the most exciting adventures I've been through lately... 365 days after that first post, 490 posts more have been writen, more than 130.000 people have visited it and left behind more than 260.000 page views, it has been awarded a few times by other fellow bloggers ;) and, what's more important, it has collected a large number of nice and supporting comments and mails... And well, in the meantime a new baby is born: the Vintage & Chic Bazaar...
Y como creo que las cosas hay que celebrarlas como se merecen, se me ha ocurrido organizar un pequeño sorteo (¡qué original! ¿verdad? ;) ). Me apetecía que el premio reuniese varias de mis pasiones: el vintage, las lámparas y algo de restauración... vale, ¡y también Ikea!. Y así me han salido esta pareja de lámparas de mesa vintage (metálicas y de los 50 ó 60) que yo misma he recuperado, pintado de blanco roto, cableado y rematado con este par de pantallas nuevas de Ikea. Así alguien tendrá un pedacito de Vintage&Chic en su casa...



When I wrote this post about my lost luggage a few months ago, I never thought that Alfredo Olmedo and Charo Luján, the designers from the spanish fashion brand D-Due, would read it and even less could I imagine they would offer me the possibility of looking for my lost D-Due two-piece suit in their warehouse, in case there was still one available...
This morning I got a beautiful package with a great surprise in it: this absolutely gorgeous dress from their current spring-summer 2009 collection with a note saying: "We couldn't find your suit but we hope you will enjoy this one as well". You can imagine my face.... ;). I only can say a big THANK YOU and invite all of you to also enjoy the images of their designs on the right side bar of my blog. This is the least I can do...



Y así de bien queda puesto, eso sí, lucido por la modelo del catálogo. Yo haré todo lo que pueda para no desmerecerlo ;) [] This is the image of my new dress from the current catalogue. I'll do my best to look so ;)














Unas puertas correderas como estas son la mejor solución para espacios estrechos. Me gusta mucho ese aire industrial, con los raíles a la vista. Y las lámparas son maravillosas [] Slide doors are the best solution for narrow rooms like this one. I love their kind of industrial style and also the lamps...
Colocar tu amada colección de vinilos en un lugar donde no moleste es la mejor manera de justificarte a la hora de conservarla... ¡pese a todo el espacio que ocupa! [] A great way to keep your collection of "old" LPs. Nobody will dare to tell you it takes to much place ;)
