Hidden Gems

The historic centre of Málaga is a maze of little streets and squares jam-packed with map and book shops, chocolatiers, vintage shops, Moroccan tea shops and jewellery shops. There's nothing better than hunting down some more hidden gems on any given sunny day. Two weeks ago, Hose (Helen & Rose) and I decided to take a wander around some of our favourite places on a lovely Friday evening. 




Bless this Mess was a new discovery we made on our hunt for vintage stores. Most of the stuff sold are things used for house decor. Everything is laid out beautifully while the shopkeeper looks busy at work. There's a very cool cocktail shaker that needs to be purchased by us three gals...



Luna Creciente is a treasure trove of goodies from Asia. It's full to the brim with every kind of stone made into any kind of piece of jewellery. From ''cool pill boxes'' to pretty earrings, you'll be kept busy for a nice bit.







Find de Luxe is most definitely my favourite vintage shop I have ever been in. The shop owner is the epitome of the word fabulous. She is gorgeous, tall and confident amongst her collection of vintage finds. There are mirrors and cabinets adorned with jewellery while the walls are covered in dresses and hats. I just love, love, love!

Hasta pronto,

Inspirations - #2

I am a woman who's obsessed with video. I've been an avid watcher of every kind of Content Creator on YouTube since late 2008 (rhyme master, hiooo!). Lately, I've been contemplating going into the whole ''vlogger'' scene since it seems like a natural step forward from blogging. I came across this video today by emotistyle, two of my favourite girls on YouTube who specialize in one of my all time favourite things...fashion. Really, not so much fashion as style...which I love! This is the kind of thing I need to be doing.

Shamikah & Molly of emotistyle


Check out their YouTube. They're the bomb diggity (they also have a deep and passionate love for BeyoncĂ©, which I can 100% relate to).

Ciao tio,
