Between Palm Trees and Old Streets

At this time I’m sure you all know that I’ve had the opportunity to model for Cindy Bangs, a brand from Barcelona that designs amazing vintage retro pieces for modern pin up girls and vintage enthusiasts. Well, here are some new pics from a shoot I did for them a couple of weeks ago. I have to tell you that their new styles for Spring/Summer are to die for!

Blue is such a great color for this time of the year. And this design is perfect to wear to a wedding, party or any other fancy occasion!

A good pair of capris is a pin up girl’s best item for Spring/Summer, don’t you think? I am in love with the Lizzy capris in white. I used to dislike this color on me because I felt I looked horrible wearing it, but I am absolutely in love with these photos! Oh, and they have tiny polkadots!

Oh, and guess what? I am wearing shorts again… 😉

Loving how my hair looks here ❤

All photographs were taken by Beatriz Diaz, she’s an amazing photographer!

Hope you like these new styles, they are gorgeous! xx

Cindy Bangs Spring Summer 2015

Posted on 11 April, 2015 by misssixtiestwist

Finally they are here! I am proudly showing you some of the Spring Summer 2015 photos for Cindy Bangs. I had the opportunity to model again for this amazing brand from Barcelona. One of my favorite dresses is this one: the Lauren. I own it in red, and it is perfect for a night out, to go on a date or just for any special occasion. Trust me, you’ll feel like Joan Holloway from Mad Men or even an Old Hollywood starlet.

If I had to choose a favorite picture from the session, I’d say the one below is my ultimate favorite ❤ Reminds me of the gorgeous Doris Mayday, one of my style and pin up inspirations. Here I am wearing the Paola top and the Lizzy pants, all in black.

Can’t believe I am wearing shorts! I used to be self conscious about my body, but seeing these photographs make me realize that I should feel more confident about my body 😉 These shorts are a must for your casual looks.

I also like the Tiki and Tropical inspiration behind some of the photographs, which were taken in Montjuic, one of Barcelona’s most beautiful green areas. The Margarita Top is such a beauty!

Oh, and what Can I say about the Teese skirt?

Have a Great Weekend!!

Hi lovelies!
I haven’t updated the blog decently in weeks! Recently I got a job in a magazine so I spend from Monday to Friday writing articles non stop. Sounds great, right? It is really cool but exhausting! That’s why I don’t even have time to blog.

Remember I told you about the idea of becoming a model? Well, then here you go! Last week I had the opportunity to model for a vintage-inspired brand from Barcelona called Cindy Bangs. They make great garments inspired in the 1940s and the 1950s, and the quality is excellent.
And I couldn’t be happier, to be honest!

All pics taken by Ferran Porta.

Have a great week, my friends! Will share another photoshoot with you all soon. Stay tuned ❤

Friday Inspiration: Twiggy

Posted on 4 April, 2014 by misssixtiestwist

Uno de los iconos pop de los 60 es Twiggy. ¿Quién no ha oído hablar de ella?

Fue la modelo que revolucionó las pasarelas y la moda de la época: corte andrógino, cara de niña y mucho, mucho estilo.

Su imagen se usado en muchos anuncios y campañas publicitarias: su maquillaje de exceso contrasta con su delgada y pequeña estatura. Se convirtió en la primera supermodelo británica, y nunca renegó de sus orígenes de clase obrera. Y casi 50 años después de su debut se la sigue asociando con la palabra “cool”.

——–

Twiggy, that 60s icon. Who has never heard of her?

She was the model who changed fashion from that era: androgynous haircut, baby face and style, a lot of style.

Her image has been used in lots of commercials and ads: her excessive make up contrasts with her tiny body. She became the first british supermodel and never hid her middle-class roots. And nearly 50 years after her debut, she still is associated with the word “cool”.

Friday Inspiration: Doris Mayday

Posted on 28 March, 2014 by misssixtiestwist

Hola! Por fin es viernes, qué alegría!

Hoy toca un poco de inspiración para el fin de semana.

Una de mis actuales inspiraciones es la modelo alternativa y pin up Doris Mayday. Esta modelo norteamericana de 25 años actualmente es una de las caras de Pinup Girl Clothing, una de mis marcas favoritas especializada en la reproducción de ropa vintage.

Doris también ha posado para Bettie Page Clothing (actualmente Tatyana Boutique) y otras marcas de la escena rockabilly y pin up.
Desde rubia, pasando por morena hasta su actual look de pelirroja, esta chica es una figura a seguir. ¿No os recuerda un poco a Christina Hendricks en Mad Men? Podéis seguirla en instagram, donde publica fotos sobre su vida privada (amigos, familia, pareja) y también promociones de Pinup Girl Clothing.
¡Os deseo un feliz fin de semana!

Hello! TGIF! Yay!
Time for a bit of inspiration for the weekend.
One of my actual inspirations is Doris Mayday, a 25 year old american alternative and pin up model. She is currently one of the faces of Pinup Girl Clothing (one of my favorite vintage inspired brands), and before she worked for Bettie Page Clothing (now Tatyana Boutique), as well as for other brands from the scene.

From blonde to dark and redhead (her actual look), she is definitely worth to look up to. Doesn’t she remind you a bit of Christina Hendricks in Mad Men? You can follow her on instagram, where she posts about her personal life (friends, family and partner) and discounts and promotions for Pinup Girl Clothing.
Have a great weekend!
