Drawing in Red

Welcome to my not-so-red architecture

Historia de una escalera

Last week I had to make a project with a friend of mine. There you go a part of it.

Catwalk on the street

Oxford Street

Portobello in Red

Portobello Road

Great couple. Great style.

Vintage in Shoes and Chanel: ONE OF A KIND

30 pounds

65 pounds

Portobello Road (London)

I loved a couple of Chanel garments I saw in that secondhand vintage shop. What a pity everything was THAT expensive for me and for the people that were there just "visiting". I can't understand how people pay 200-300 pounds for a pair of very old shoes (clothes ok.. but shoes?The red and purple ones were the cheapest) Is that a love for fashion or stupidity?

Soho in Red

A couple of minutes before the rain..

.. Central London

Regent Street in Red and turquoise

Regent Street (London)

I have to admit that I didn't notice about her red shoes at first. Her turquoise hair and very dark black eyebrows kept all my attention. I'm so sorry you can't share with me that contrast on her white pale face.. I really am.

Oxford Street in Red

Oxford Street (London)

Hope you enjoy that woman and her style as much as I did because she wears every garment in a very personal and powerful way. I loved finding her in the middle of Oxford Street. She made my day.

Rain in Red

Note to self: Enjoy the rain after a horrible hot day.

Chocolaticas

I received them a few hours ago and I must admit they are the cutest shoes I've ever had.

Aldeana Llanisca in Red Shoes

Aldeana Llanisca

.

That’s a present my aunt sent me for my birthday. The doll is wearing an “aldeana llanisca” handmade costume typical from Llanes, a village located in the west of Asturias (north of Spain).  She made it for me so it was one of the best and most personal presents ever. I admire her so much because I know the smaller the dress is, the harder it is to sew. And even so, she did it perfectly.. taking care of every detail. Hope you like it just as much as I do.

Este es un regalo que me hizo mi tía para mi último cumpleaños. Se trata de una muñeca vestida con un traje de aldeana típico de la zona de Llanes (Asturias) y que ella misma cosió a mano. Sobra decir cuantísimo la admiro, entre otros aspectos, como costurera ya que defiendo la opinión de que cuanto más pequeña es una pieza más difícil es de confeccionarla y, examinando milímetro a milímetro esta obra de arte, da la sensación de que para ella se trata más de un juego de niños que de un reto. Está estudiado hasta el más mínimo detalle y llevado a cabo con una maestría que he visto en pocas personas pero que viniendo de ella no me sorprende en absoluto.

¿Los zapatos rojos? Una excepción extraordinaria y perfecta.

RedPlastic clogs

Barcelona

I saw her in the middle of the crowd surrounded by skaters, bikers and people who were just having a walk or tea. We know clogs are kind of a must this year but what would you say about these plastic ones? They made me think of Melissa clogs.

Ice cream time

Red.. two.. one.. summer!



I love the way these two little girls stare at all the different types of ice creams as if they were precious stones. I can't see their faces but I can imagine them.

Tourist in RedCrowd

Las Ramblas (Barcelona)

I love her hat and the way she mixes it with the rest of her clothes.

Barcelona: city in yellow

C/Llibreteria (Barcelona)

After a couple of days in Barcelona..

Note to myself: reconsider why I didn't use to like yellow.




Después de unos días en Barcelona he de reconsiderar los motivos por los que no me solía gustar el amarillo.

Style is part of the person, not of the clothes.

Ceuta

From the very beginning

Guess who I am?





A little too lonely. A little less boring.

Redwalk in white

Calle de Tudela (Pamplona)

Except for the bag, everything on this woman was a white-red combination. I quite enjoyed finding her and a question came to my mind: Why do women dye their white or gray hair? It gives a personality and smartness impossible to get with any dyeing and in this case.. it takes part of the outfit colours.

Basque style. Basque txapela.

Paseo de Ronda (Pamplona)

Every rule has its exception. No red shoes for this time.




Toda regla tiene su excepción. No hay zapatos rojos.. por esta vez.

redFind IT

I had been told that someone wearing shoes of different colours (black and red) was visiting Pamplona. I didn’t believe it at first so I took my camera and walked round the city with only one purpose.. the purpose of finding IT.





Últimamente corría el rumor de que alguien con zapatos de diferente color (uno negro y  otro rojo) andaba de visita por Pamplona. Al principio, y como era de esperar, no me lo creí.. Así que mi cámara y yo emprendimos un viaje por toda la ciudad con un sólo objetivo..

Paseo de Ronda (Pamplona)

Before you go, take care of the ones you love

Plaza del Castillo (Pamplona)

Same city, different women, different styles.



Pamplona



Reddish Happiness

Calle San Nicolás (Casco Viejo- Pamplona)

I just have no words to describe what these two little jumping girls spending time with their grandparents made me feel. I love the outfit of the smallest one: her dress, her red shoes, her mid-lenght hair.. But for one time I can’t focus on it. What importance do red shoes have when you see a kid being incredibly happy? No importance at all. 

  

No tengo palabras que puedan describir el sentimiento que despertaron en mi estas niñas que paseaban "tranquilamente" con sus abuelos por el casco viejo de Pamplona. Me gusta como va vestida la niña pequeña, sí, no lo niego. Su vestido, sus zapatos rojos, su media melena.. Pero hoy, por mucho que me gustaría hacerlo, no puedo centrarme en su ropa. ¿Qué importancia tienen unos zapatos rojos cuando te cruzas con un niño siendo tan increíblemente feliz? Ninguna en absoluto.
