Chez Agnes

Look what I got myself!!

SEEING My cousin getting married. He looked so happy and we had so much fun! All my family dressed for the occasion, plus a certain trio looking awesome with their new hats. TOUCHING/FEELING My new blackberry, or dare I say brownberry (since it'll probably send me brownies everyday considering it's for work?) Anyway, it took me aboout 5 minutes to get the chat on and working :) TASTING A wonderful green apple sorbet at my cousin wedding. We even managed to convince one of the waiters to bring us a second round. At the wedding, too, the awesome dessert: cocoa and red fruits mousse plus passion fruit ice cream. Delicious. HEARING My nephew talk in that wonderful secret language of the 2-year-olds, throwing Spanish words here and there and assuming everybodu can follow her conversation. Yadda yadda yi . SMELLING My nephew. How come babies smell so damn well? [photos_private]

Even though friday is jeans day at my office, I decided against it. Too hot to wear pants when you're coming out at the hotest hour of the day. This skirt is so very fresh, that is perfect for it's purpose: to not melt on the street (and something to match my tan too). Skirt: Hakei Shoes: Stuart Weitzman T-Shirt: Zara Neccklace: Made by me with Chinese Jade . [photos_private]

SEEING My suitcase filling… can’t relieve my vacations are OVER. It’s probably the first year I really don’t feel like going back. The cover of Spanish Harper’s Bazaar. So elegant! I’m really looking forward to this autumn/winter season. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Mmmmm… yes but no. I mean, the books are way better. And Edward? I used to be his total fan, but in the film he manages to look depressed even when Bella accepts his proposal. Come on!!! Cheer up!! And the way he looks so damn annoyed with Jacob just plain sucks. He reminds me of Bill in the True Blood series (the HBO ones, that is) SO annoying. HEARING The phone ringing one, and over again, and yet over again. That’s the problem when you’re running errands for your Mum when she’s half a country way, in the beach, doing nothing. TOUCHING/FEELING My pillow. OMG… I really miss her when I’m a way for more than a week. I know it’s ridiculous, but it’s true. All sad because I’m back in Madrid… back because my vacati...

Para una noche tranquilita entre amigos en un chiringuito de Marbella (Pepe's, que viene a ser - premio mediante- el mejor sitio paratomar espetos de la zona), un modelo sencillito que deje ver el moreno conseguido a golpe de horas de sol. No puedo creer que ya sea mi cena de despedida en Marbella... ¿tan rápido se pasa el tiempo que parece que fue ayer cuando llegué? Eso parece... Mañana, a estas horas, estaré camino de los Madriles para la dura vuelta a la rutina. Amarillo y negro... como un abejorro. Top: Mercadillo, pero no sé muy bien cuál, hace miles de años Pantalones: Blanco Alpargatas negras

S o tonight was a slow night at Puerto Banús: A lovely walk plus a lovely crepe, and back home. Nothing fancy... but good nevertheless. For such a night, I chose a colourful aquamarine t-shirt plus black skirt. Simple, fresh, nice. T-Shirt: Saturday market at Puerto Banús (so long ago I can't even remember) Black Skirt: Top Shop (Spring/Summer 2010) Silver ballerinas Earrings: Uno de 50 Decenarios as seen in Sara Carbonero

SEEING Perseids shower on San Lorenzo’s night. Beautiful… so many wishes launched to space! TASTING Cuttlefish Croquettes. All black and nasty looking, but delicious. Danone’s greek yoghurt plus peach. A lovely refreshing dinner for long lazy summer nights. SMELLING Miguelito’s cologne… smells GOOOOOD. HEARING From A. who’s in Africa and his cool stories from the place. I feel a wee bit envious. My godfather,yet again, having a argueing with my brother. Can't he let him alone? TOUCHING/FEELING Friday, August 13th. Does it make me a really bad person to already regret my dad and bro are back? They’ve been here for… what? 12 hours? And they’ve already got on my nerves. SO damn hot!!!

Sorry for the delay… vacation has these side effects, you suddenly feel obliged no more to neither the blog, twitter, or even facebook, although at least the last two I’ve managed to not forget as much thanks to the itouch. Ok… so here it goes… a special 2-week 5 senses Monday. Happy vacations to you all! SEEING All those stars in the sky. You don’t know how much you’re missing because of the city lights until you are lying in the middle of a secluded area, hearing the see, in the middle of the night. Suddenly the sky looks wonderfully different, full of teeny tiny lights that make you feel so very little. Daniela and Adrian, my wonderful 2 year-old neighbours. Blond and so very cute thanks to the outfits their parents dress them with. And they’re so nice as well! I’ve already become one of their favourite people in the swimming pool (not that I’m surprised, mind you) TASTING Fantastic first plate of Espetos at La Barca de Pedro. So very much from Marbella… I wonder if Michelle O...

Con “Las Joyas de la Corona” aún sin empezar, sentadita en mi silla en modo intensivo de sol –ojos cerrados, bikini sin tirantes, rebozada de crema hasta arriba y estirada a más no poder- sufro un golpe de realidad que nada tiene que ver con los esbirros de la Lomana: - Oyyyyy NIñaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Mira quién viene por aquí, la Preñá A mí, me resuenan los tímpanos. Maldigo el dejarme llevar por el romanticismo del sonido del mar y olvidarme el ipod en casa. (a ésta, a voz en grito, como si no la tuviera a un palmo de distancia) - Ay niña… qué guapa y qué gorda que estás, hija. Qué tripa… qué es, un macho? La otra responde, no alcanzo a saber qué, gracias al cielo no abusa del volumen. - Una hembra, dices? Qué maravilla. Aunque los machos… ay! Mira que mi amiga La Trini tuvo un machito el otro día. Asín de gorda estaba… asín Decido no volverme a mirar. Me está costando… semejante ataque de vulgaridad no alcanzo a ver todos los días. Lo de “hembra” y “machito” me ha matado. - C laro que co...
