THE SLEEPING MASKED BEAUTY!

HOW TO : Look fabulous
Wear a sleep mask 

If you're the ultimate diva you probably wear a sleep mask to bed because being
 fabulous is the only way to go, and not even sleep can stop you! 

We can’t help you to look your best while asleep, and we know a sleep mask really just does a bare minimum, (and that's ok because se all drool in our sleep) but we can do something about when you’re awake! 

Wear this amazing African Tribal Sleep Mask necklace with a knit shirt top, 
a suede skirt and a pair of rustic leather sandals. 

You’ll look as comfortable and divine as when you’re wearing your sleep mask! 

Como buena diva fashionista que eres, lo más seguro es que uses una máscara para dormir. Sabemos que te encanta estar fabulosa y ni el sueño te lo podrá impedir.

No podemos ayudarte mientras duermes, pero lo que sí podemos ofrecerte es algo para que luzcas cuando estés despierta...

Combina este increíble collar African Tribal Sleep Mask con un top de punto, una falda de ante y unas cuñas de cuero. ¡Estarás cómoda y divina tanto de noche como de día!






I am wearing a Knit Shirt from American Apparel ,
and a suede skirt from Zara,
and necklace from my new Cruise Collecion The Sleeping Masked beauty.

Coachella Special Edition


GUIDE

Everything You Need To Know About COACHELLA 




Peace, Love and Understanding
Kisses from the Masks! 


Coachella is a yearly music festival in California, full of temporary hippies and high fashion. The main trends this year covered high waisted shorts, bra tops, John Lennon's actual glasses (he had loads), floral crowns and floral necklaces. But here is a list of everything you really need to know about Coachella:

1. Selfie Sticks are NOT allowed. They're too dangerous, after a few hours in the sun or rain, no one looks good.

2. Fanny Packs are ALLOWED. The hosts of Coachella want to make sure you know, check it out on their website.

3. NO drugs or medicinal marijuana at the festival. Large Woodstock-like hippie parties are always clean.

4. Danny DeVito is always there. He's the smallest, cutest, and roundest man around.

5. NO flags are allowed. It's not a flag festival, I hear they really get out of hand. People really like flags.

6. W.e.a.r The Sleeping Masked Beauty to stand out from the crowd and still scream high fashion.


Coachella es el festival anual de música de California, y está repleto de hippies (convertidos para la ocasión) y de gente de la moda. La tenencia más popular de esta edición son los shorts de cintura alta, los crop tops, las gafas estilo John Lennon (actualizadas) y, las coronas y collares florales. 

Pero aquí tienes una lista de lo que realmente necesitas saber sobre Coachella: 

1. Los Selfie NO están permitidos. Son demasiado peligrosos, después de varias horas bajo el sol o la lluvia, es imposible que alguien salga bien en uno. 

2. Las riñoneras están PERMITIDASLos organizadores del festival parecen tener mucho interés en que te enteres de que esta prenda ha vuelto, compruébalo en su web. 

3. NADA de drogas o marijuana en el festival. Las fiestas hippie de Coachella siempre están limpias...

4. Danny DeVito está siempre allí. Le reconocerás por ser el hombre más pequeño, adorable y redondo que veas alrededor.  

5. Las banderas NO están permitidas. Coachella NO es un festival de banderas, he oído que a la gente se le va de las manos este tema, les encanta sacar una bandera. 

6. L.l.e.v.a The Sleeping Masked Beauty para destacar entre la multitud y ser la más fashion del festival.

               

Now you're set for Coachella 2016!

Landing at Yoox and popcorn tonight...

I'm pleased to announce

Time really flies. I feel like I know how mama birds feel when her babies fly out of the nest. Happy and proud, that is. Some of my products have flown out of the nest here at Patricia Nicolas Jewellery, and have landed at Yoox.com! 

This is our third time working together, the products might not be there forever, so check it out soon. Also, Yoox is a really cool online store, so you should check it out if you're up for wasting a few hours online while eating popcorn tonight. I know I will.

El tiempo vuela y algunas de mis piezas han echado a volar y han aterrizado en Yoox.com

Es la tercera vez que trabajamos juntos, pero las piezas no van a estar ahí esperándote eternamente, así que date prisa en entrar a verlas. Además, Yoox es una tienda online con productos muy cool y seguro que te entretienes en ella un buen rato mientras comes palomitas. 


tick tock, tick tock! 









China Adventures PART 2


The Arrival 

Part. 2

入乡随俗(rù xiāng suí sú)
*When you are in Rome, do as the Romans do.


Just like to my last trip to China 8 years ago, I was picked up from the airport in Shanghai by my friend Benson's adorable chauffeur Mr. Lu. 


I spent three days in Shanghai where I visited the market in Taikanglu, had delicious cocktails with friends in Barabarrosa and stared at the amazing view over the city, drooled over the mansions in the French Concession and shopped at the Kerry Center in Nanjing Lu. (If you guys are ever in Shanghai, these are the four places you MUST visit, you won't regret it!)

















I am wearing Trench coat and boots from Burberry, blouse Zara.



My Instagram and Facebook doesn't work in China without a VPN, which has left me wondering what the Chinese do on the toilet to keep themselves entertained, I'm sure they don't just sit there like everyone did in the 90's. So passé! Jokes aside, there is a crazy amount of censoring in China, I heard that even the word censor is censored





Chinese Proverb: A smile will gain you ten more years of life. 


Next up PART 3: Bejing!

China Adventures PART 1


Just Come Visit Already! 


- Said my friend, so I got on a plane and headed to China, to learn more about the culture, food, communistic restrictions, and of course to visit old friends…!


In these upcoming blog posts, I’m going to tell you about each trip I took in China, and give you all the juicy details and cool facts about China. Right now, I'm sitting at an Italian cafe called Inno in The Bund in Shanghai thinking about the 6 trips I have taken. I've visited Shanghai, Macau, Dongguang, Shenzheng, Beijing, and Hong Kong which I will elaborate on more in later posts. Every place I've gone has had different cultures, people and landscapes - the diversity is fabulous! 


After a few weeks here, what do I think about China?

THE BIGGEST SHOCK: What has surprised me the most is how poverty and wealth are present at the same time and same place. In one building, you can find a rich single man in a one room apartment, but across the hall you can also see three families living in poverty in a one room apartment. The contrast is shocking and mind boggling. 

THE POLLUTION: Have you ever wondered what the sky would look like, if it was yellow? Then go to Shanghai, because the sky is yellow here. It's as a result of pollution from the factories that the sky is neither blue nor grey, it gives you a very strange cramped feeling, almost like there is no air. A large percentage of the pollution in San Francisco comes from China, the pollution issue here is far from a joke.


Fun fact: Lu means street in Chinese. 




I am wearing red jumper from Uniq Lo, sun glasses from Tickang Lu market in Shanghai and coat from Dries Van Noten at Dover Street Market.
