MANGO
Fall Winter ’15
080 BARCELONA Fashion Week started today!!! During the next few days, Spanish designers will be showcasing their latest creations for Fall / Winter 15 on the runway. I have been wearing the brand MANGO for years. I still have my closet full of MANGO pieces that I bought when I lived in Barcelona!!! MANGO’s collections are always cool and have accessible prices. There is a MANGO Outlet in Barcelona that I went to at least once a month as well. Oh, how I miss it!
MANGO’s F/W’15 Collection is trendy, stylish, and hippie. I noticed a lot of suede, lace, and long boho chic dresses and skirts. People that love feminine and bohemian outfits will love this collection. Here are my top six outfit combinations.

Poland | Lovely day in Czestochowa & Places to Stay
Turtleneck: Mango. Black skater skirt, similar here and here. Bag: Fendi
Lovely Day in Czestochowa
I love this black skirt! Had been looking for a cute one for a long time! I found this one inside a little boutique while walking around Krakow. Finally! This one has a faux leather texture at the top. And the turtleneck I have had for a while. I bought it while living in Spain, at one of my favorite stores, Mango.
These pictures were taken in the city of Czestochowa, a city in southern Poland by the Warta River (population less than half a million). Millions of pilgrims from around the world come to visit every year!
The city’s best attractions include:
-Jasna Góra Monastery / Black Madonna
-Częstochowa City Hall & Museum
-Kamienica Kupiecka
-Parks: Stanisław Staszic Park and 3 May Park
-The Avenues (main artery of the city)

Poland | Hello! We have arrived to Krakow!
Sweater Dress: Mango. Sunglasses: here
We have arrived in Krakow, Poland!
Hello! I have arrived in the city of Krakow, Poland, for a spiritual trip and will be spending two weeks visiting different cities in this country. It’s my first time here so I am super eager to learn about the food, the culture, the landscape, and everything else!
The weather is currently so beautiful, it is chilly but sunny. The first photo was taken in Lagiewniki – here is located a sanctuary that is visited by millions of pilgrims from around the world every year.
The second photo is from the Main Market Square in Krakow’s old town, the tall building that you see is the brick Gothic St. Mary’s Basilica which was rebuilt in the 14th century. It is well known for its impressive wooden altarpiece inside that was carved by Veit Stoss (a leading German sculptor, whose career covered the transition between the late Gothic and the Northern Renaissance). I was impressed by the blue starred ceiling inside, it reminds me of Sainte Chapelle, the royal Gothic-style chapel in Paris, France (also built and consecrated in the 13th century).
Something very interesting takes place at St. Mary’s Basilica: every hour a trumpet signal is played, that commemorates the famous 13th-century trumpeter that was shot in the throat while sounding the alarm during the Mongol invasion of the city of Krakow.
I will post more photos soon!, so far I have limited wifi, and we are always walking around… xo

Hosting | Fashion Gives Back 2014
FGB at Neiman Marcus
Good evening beauties! Here is a quick selection of photos from FGB where I was so happy to be one of the MCs. This haute couture event was organized by the Hosting Committee of MCHF and it was held at Neiman Marcus. I became an ambassador of MCHF in 2013, and love the mission behind this organization. The most wonderful part about the fundraisers that we host is that 100% of the proceeds go to benefit the patients and families of the local children’s hospital.
The white & navy gown that I wore, I purchased in Cartagena, Colombia when I visited two months ago for one of my college girlfriend’s wedding. We saw this dress on a window display as we were quickly walking down one of the streets one night, and I gasped when I saw it. It was a bit pricey, but I figured I would save it for special occasions.
Hope everyone is having a great week!
Xx,
Florencia

Where To Stay in Cartagena
Ladies, today I am sharing a few pictures from my college girlfriend’s destination wedding at the Sofitel Legend Santa Clara in Cartagena, Colombia. The wedding was precious and super entertaining! There were three different shows that took place during the wedding, and a masquerade party at the end.
For this special occasion, I wore a stunning pink gown that I found at Cache. The dress has silver sequins sewn on it, so I purchased silver heels to match the color of the sequins. I wore a bright red lipstick color, and I am obsessed with it! The lipstick has two ends: one with color, the other with balm. Apply the color, let it dry, and then you apply the balm.
Sofitel Legend Santa Clara
This upscale hotel is a converted 17th-century convent located in the heart of downtown Cartagena and near the Caribbean Sea.
Built in 1621, the property was originally a convent that housed the Poor Clares before they were evicted in 1861. For over a century, this place witnessed history and also served as a hospital, prison and medical school. In 1995, it became the iconic Santa Clara hotel. Some of the hotel’s guests include Nobel Prize winners, actors and film directors such as Jean Paul Gauthier, Mick Jagger, Don Juan Carlos Borbón & Sofía of Greece, Gabriel García Márquez, Sting, Shakira, Sofía Vergara and Fernando Botero.
The hotel is home to five restaurants and bars, including 1621 Restaurant, and one of the TOP 25 of the best restaurants in the world by Traveler’s Choice Best 2022 awards. El Coro Lounge Bar is famous for its mojitos, creative cocktails and delicious tapas. If you are looking for an outdoor bar, then head over to Botika Bar on the terrace of the hotel’s third floor. Then at Jardín Santa Clara you will enjoy the flavors of Colombia in a casual setting (this area is beautiful!). There is also The Bar next to the hotel’s swimming pool.

Cartagena has been nothing short of fun, colorful, and wonderful.

Cartagena in Colombia
Cartagena Colombia
Hi girls! I am loving Cartagena, the city is lively, colorful & beautiful. We walk around the old city all day long, and we also stop at museums or touristy places. I must say that the summer heat here is unbearable! Very few places have an air conditioner, and after walking for twenty minutes you start sweating incredibly. But that’s okay because we are here for a few days, so we are making the most of them.
The local food is quite delicious, and the people here are so kind. In my previous post I listed all the restaurants that we have been to. Today we ate at Crepes & Waffles, I had the “pane cook” which is a bread bowl soup (had not eaten one in years – I love them). It is a round bread filled with any of their options – I chose mushroom – it was so yummy.
I will write more soon! xox.

What To See & Where To Eat in Cartagena Colombia
Cartagena, Colombia
Hola from Cartagena, Colombia! Today I am sharing pictures from Castillo de San Felipe, and the outfit I am wearing is the only I could due to the extreme heat!!! We would all be walking around in a swimsuit if it was possible.
The Straw Hat that I am wearing is sold everywhere around here for protection from the sun. I purchased mine right before climbing to the top Castillo San Felipe.
Things To See in Cartagena
Walled City of Cartagena
San Felipe Castle
Cathedral San Pedro Claver
Plaza Santo Domingo
Museo del Oro (Gold Museum)
Where to Eat in Cartagena
The following restaurants were recommended by my local friends:
1621 Restaurant
Carmen Restaurant
Don Juan
La Casa de Socorro
Marea by Rausch
Vera (located inside Tcherassi Hotel)
We tried the restaurants that were recommended to us, and thought they were incredible. Here are my thoughts: Marea by Rausch was a fancy spot. Vera, a restaurant from fashion designer Silvia Tcherassi was a little pricey but the food was exquisite! And if you would like to eat the yummiest local food at a non-touristy restaurant, then go to La Casa de Socorro (I would like to go back)! Don Juan offers local cuisine also but it is located right in the middle of the touristy area. Overall though, we loved every single restaurant for a different reason.

I am so happy to be here in Cartagena!!!

Barcelona Fashion | MODAFAD FASHION AWARDS 2014
37th Edition – MODAFAD FASHION AWARDS
“THE BEST FASHION T PROJECTS of 2014”
One of the coolest parts of 080 Barcelona Fashion takes place during the last day of Barcelona fashion week, the MODAFAD Fashion Awards. MODAFAD is about promoting young designers, launching them at the international level, and fostering relationships between design schools and the fashion industry. Each edition of “Project T” allows emerging fashion designers to showcase their unique creations to the world. How neat is that?!? “Project T” gathers the best students in fashion design, holds a runway show, and then an international jury selects the ‘best designer,’ the ‘best collection,’ and the ‘special Mention of the year.’ Below I am sharing a few outfits from this edition of Modafad Awards. Check them out!
