Chez Agnes

I know... it's a short one. But considering I have been working from 7am to more than 7pm each day, I guess you'll just have to deal with me this week this way. I'm in Seville, by the way... not enjoying my time like I should but visiting some more clients. It'll be Cordoba tomorrow. I intend on drinking some rebujito today and forget everything about the week, since apparently it has gone well in our first meeting. So here we go now! SMELLING A touch of Égoiste platinum in a crowded airport. For once it doesn’t make me think of YOU strictly, but of how much I had always wished to bite that lower lip of yours after a kiss. SEEING The clock tick, the hours pass. It has been a 12’5 hr/day work week, and by Thursday, I wasn’t sure I could take it anymore. HEARING My MBA’s Directress introduction speech for our course about to begin. She looked so anxious, and I think I speak for every single one of us when I say we could feel the nervousness in the air, the perception

Ayer empecé mi MBA en Gestión y Dirección de Empresas de moda. Aunque exhausta tras una nueva semana de viajes y vaivenes laborales, tenía tantas ganas que apenas podía contenerme. Las primeras conferencias no me desanimaron y, es más, me hicieron por fin ilusionarme por lo que estaba a punto de comenzar. Y es que pareciera que en las últimas semanas, con tanto trabajo y lío, hubiera perdido la perspectiva del tiempo y el espacio, y tan imbuida estaba de la rutina, que apenas sí me había dado cuenta de que el máster por fin iba a comenzar. De todas las conferencias del primer fin de semana, todas ellas impresionantes en contenidos y sobre todo, materia de conferenciantes, he decidido contaros las reflexiones que Enrique Loewe hizo en la primera conferencia oficial de la tarde, pistoletazo de salida a lo que estoy segura serán 9 meses intensos y apasionantes. Enrique Loewe entra en clase lentamente y se sienta en el estrado. Confieso que siento algo de vergüenza cuando veo que desde m

Well well, well... Aren't I glamourous and fashionable today! without even knowing it I've gone from zero to famous in the blink of an eye... First, a picture of me was featured on a spread in Yo Dona , a magazine that comes with the El Mundo newspaper every saturday. It's not that the issue was precisely on fashion (but on how cool is to work for companies that pay you in more than cash), but hey! I look the cutest on my little Mango dress and clogs . Right? Image courtesy of Yo Dona And then this afternoon, by sheer luck and serendipity, I end up in one of the pictures for the Serrano Madrid official pictures of the street re-launching event that took place today. Isn't it awesome? I have to admit you can't really see me all that well, but, then again... it's cool. See the red block on the left of the pink elephant? a teeny tiny person on a striped jacket and a red handbag? well, that's me Images courtesy of Serrano Madrid. I have to admit it was a

I barely slept 2 hours yesterday… 2. I guess it was because of the fact that I didn’t want to oversleep for my trip to Alicante. All things considered, I have to admit I was pushing it a little bit by getting up only 20 min before my taxi arrived… Then again, there was also that AWFUL noise. There I was, on the brink of falling totally asleep (you know that time when your body is just about to disconnect?) when suddenly… Zuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ZUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuummmmmmmmmm Shit! I must confess I thought it was an airplane mosquito or something, by the noise it was making. Suddenly I was fully awake, trying to identify the source of the noise so as to present a full attack. I turned on the light, did a surveillance look around and found the bastard lying peacefully on my nightstand. It was huge! So I did what a girl has to do in this circumstances: grab a book and… WHAM!!! Be done with it, and back to sleep.  And just when I was again at the brink of sleep…. Zuuuuuuuuummmmmm

SEEING The titles of the True Blood books in Spanish. Pathetic... and grusome. How come we are so good when translating films and SO BAD when titles are considered? Keeps me wondering... "Todos juntos y muertos" aka "Alltogether dead"? honestly... An e-mail, at last, from my MBA with the confirmation that classes start on the 24th, and the programme for the first weekend... can't wait! A bar at Barcelona called "Piscolabis" a word I usually use and that has some of my friends laughing their heads off... whatever! The reception of the hotel, full of papers in Chinese with different indications of what to do in Barcelona, tourism like. Totally awesome and funny! (specially the illustrations, which were just hilarious...) HEARING By brownberry (ups, sorry, blackberry) beeping non stop during my trip to Barcelona. Sorry people, but being in a car, or in a supermarket doesn't really help attending matters... all in all, it's a good

Esta tarde, a falta de mi querida Marta que me ha fallado por compromisos laborales, me he ido a Cibeles con mi Santa Madre a darme una vueltecita por el espacio Cibelino, aprovechando que los chicos de Cruzcampo Light me habían regalado una entrada. Granizado de limón (riquísimo) en el espacio de Asos, un paseo por la zona del Ego (con algunas propuestas bastante interesantes como las pajaritas de Jarabowtie , las Converse para decorar a tu gusto de No pintas Nada  o unos fantabulosísimos zapatos de Arianne ), una vuelta general por el espacio y visita frustrada al espacio blogger o a los chicos de Telva (¿dónde os habíais metido todos?), me han hecho darme cuenta de que, como bien a twitteado una bloggera amiga , cualquier niña superjovencísima mona se cree que por calzarse unos tacones y ponerse el último rouge Chanel entienden de moda. Toda una lástima...  Sarcasmos a parte, he visto muchos estilismos que me han encantado. Hubiera "robado" fotos

Lo siento por la ausencia... pero entre idas y venidas a Barcelona, visitas a clientes y demás, era bastante complicado actualizar de una manera seria. Lo bueno es que, cargada como voy siempre de mi moleskine roja, no se me queda nada en el tintero, y aunque estas semanas se junten los 5 senses mucho, la realidad es que contienen cosas de muy diferentes semanas. ¡¡Vamos con ello!! (creo que es la primera vez que lo hago en español, pero es que esta vez me ha salido así... VISTA Bolsas de Zara online por la calle, a todas horas y en todas partes, en los brazos de los personajes más insospechados, multiplicándose como las esporas. Creeré en su conquista mundial cuando empiece a verlas como bolsas para llevar la comida en la nevera de la oficina. No les doy mucho tiempo... El maravilloso escaparate de Loewe con frutas ácidas: naranjas, limones y manzanas verdes, contrastando con su fantástico nuevo bolso tan discreto, tan beige, tan simple. Me alegro de que por fin hayan decidido rec

Actualmente estoy por trabajo en Barcelona hasta el Jueves. Hasta entonces me temo que estaré ausente... pero volveré, lo prometo!

Just LOVE him...can't wait for the new season... and in Paris, no less!!

Yesterday was one of those nights I've been waiting like mad: Fashion Night Out ! Even though Marta wasn't here this year (I promise I missed you, girl), I managed to find myself with a very entertaining and fun group of girls... K's girls. We laughed SO much. We drank SO many mojitos... it was an awesome night. We met at 8pm at one of my favourite shops (since I arrived a wee bit later, I helped myself to one of the goody bags they were selling in favour of Aldeas Infantiles), Yube (and Benny Room too, her twin store) in Las Salesas area willing to have a taste of their masqueradeparty and feed up with the gorgeous ambiance this area always has. We weren't deceived. As always, it was an awesome choice, and it wasn't until 2 hours later (and 6 mojitos later too, I may add) that we  resumed our way in the chance to take a look at Serrano and Ortega y Gasset. Since this year I managed to get myself not only one, but thre

After an express early morning shopping the other day (the very same day they launched tjeir online shop) my Zara handbag has arrived! I can't help but love it! I can't begin to tell you how easy it was... you buy on-line, they send it where you asked, and you get both e-mails ans sms to confirm you that i has at last, arrived. Isn't it cool? And now... I'm afraid I'll leave you all since I'm going... To MADRID'S FASHION NIGHT OUT !!

My 27th birthday was on Saturday and I can’t help but say it wasn’t what I expected. It’s getting extremely difficult to manage everybody to assist to any kind of celebration and, on the other hand, I must confess my heart is not really in it anyway. Work is being hell lately and it doesn’t seem to be on the way of getting better anytime soon. Anyway…. Here I go. TOUCHING My new fur à la ruse hat from Uterqüe. Love at first sight. I’m just wishing for snow and cold weather now… TASTING Kobe meat at t.a.r.t.a.n for my birthday dinner. Or should I say the whole menu? Everything was delicious! And that special “two temperature chocolate dessert with peta zetas”? OMG. Simple gorgeous, spectacular… mmmmm SEEING A working tv at my room again. The old one dated from 10 years ago when I had my 1st communion, and after the analogical blackout form last year, I couldn’t see a thing on it. So, considering it can read DVDs and USB keys… you may understand my enthusiasm. An invitation to the
