Let's talk about gladiator sandals, y'all

Good Morning lovely people!
Today I'm going to talk about Gladiator Sandals or Lace Up Sandals, which are a very big trend this Summer. Let's break it down a little bit:

Brief Description: Traditional gladiator sandals are flat-soled, open-toed shoes that feature multiple straps. The shaft of a gladiator sandal usually extends to above the ankle, and at least part-way up the leg, typically reach mid-calf to just below the knee (by About Style).

Were on the runway of: Alexander McQueen, Isabel Marant, Chloe, Givenchy, Marni, Hermès, Hugo Boss, Dsquared2 and Valentino.

You can see them on: Jessica Alba, Anna Dello Russo, Gisele Bundchen, Jamie Chung, Anja Rubik, Rita Ora and Chiara Ferragni.

Organize your shoes!

Hello lovely readers! How are you today? I hope you are very good. Sorry for not posting as much as before but now with the exams it's a little bit difficult for me to post, thankfully now all the exams of this term have finished so from today I can publish more again.
So today I decided to do a post of how to organize your shoes, because I've had this dilemma for some weeks, because my wardrobe doesn't have space for all my shoes (wups, I'm a shoe addict, I know!) and today I was looking for ideas and I found this cool ideas, so I wanted to share them with you. Hope you like some of these ideas, much love, bye!

¡Hola queridos lectores! ¿Cómo estáis hoy? Espero que estéis muy bien. Lo siento por no publicar tanto como antes, pero ahora con los exámenes lo tengo un poco difícil escribir muchas entradas, por suerte ahora todos los exámenes de este trimestre han terminado así que desde hoy puedo publicar más de nuevo.
Así que hoy he decidido hacer un post sobre cómo organizar vuestros zapatos, porque he tenido este dilema desde hace algunas semanas, porque mi armario no tiene espacio para todos mis zapatos (ups, soy una adicta a los zapatos, lo sé! ) y hoy estaba buscando ideas y encontré unas ideas geniales, así que las quería compartir con vosotros. Espero que os gusten algunas de estas ideas, mucho amor, bye!

New Shoes

El otro día fui a la tienda Esprit y me enamoré de estas sandalias de color amarillo flúor y me las compré, ¿os gustan? Las busqué en la web pero ya no están disponibles así que si las queréis id a la tienda y haber si tenéis suerte, pero también encontré unas en la tienda Oysho que si que están en la web y que son muy parecidas.
Besos :)

The other day I went to the Shop Esprit and I fell in love with some yellow neon sandals and I bought them, do you like them? I search them in the web but they weren't available any more so if you want them go to the shop and cross your fingers, but I also found some similar ones in Oysho that you can find them in the web and there are very similar.
Kisses :)
