Good morning! I have shared a new video on my YouTube channel with 10 details that will ruin every outfit. I hope you are not making many of these mistakes, let me know in the comments box and don't forget to suscribe!
Here is a little round up for my non Spanish-speaking readers:
1. Unfitting Underwear
Our weight tends to change and elastics tent to loosen up. Make sure your underwear fits you and stays under!
2. Brand, size and composition Tags
Remove them all, specially those annoying strings on the shoulders.
3. Blazer vent "X" stitches
Please, please, please, remove them before you walk out the door!
4. Wrinkles
I know ironing or steaming might not be your favourite activity in the world, but wrinkled clothes make you look much worse. There are wonderful steamers nowadays that are easy to use and you don't even have to deal with an iron board ;)
5. Shoe sole Stickers
You can't stop all shoe sellers from sticking stickers on the soles of every pair of shoes, but you can remove the stickers on the pairs you buy!
6. Impossible Heels
Learn how to walk in low thick heels before you think of a super high stiletto. There is nothing less stylish than a woman struggling to walk on the wrong pair of shoes.
7. Dirty Accessories
I'm sure you wash your clothes often, please clean your accessories as well. You can put together a great outfit, but it'll be a disaster if your bag or shoes are not clean.
8. Pills and Fuzz
Invest in a fabric shaver, your coats, jackets and sweaters will live a longer and happier live!
9. Lint and Hair
Use a lint roller daily, specially during cold seasons!
10. Hair tie on your wrist
Hair ties are meant to be on your hair, bracelets are meant to be around your wrist. Try to keep it that way.
Can you think of any other annoying details that ruin an outfit? Let me know!

First Ladies Dresses: National Museum of American History
By Sugar Lane - Monday, December 02, 2019
Buenos dĆas! Hoy tengo una exposiciĆ³n de moda muy patriĆ³tica, ya sabĆ©is cĆ³mo son los americanos... os traigo los vestidos de las Primeras Damas de los Estados Unidos, desde 1789 hasta nuestros dĆas! Washington no es la ciudad ideal para amantes de la moda, pero en el Museo de Historia Americana hay una buena colecciĆ³n de piezas histĆ³ricas que ya he visitado un par de veces. La verdad es que me ha encantado ver cĆ³mo han evolucionado tanto la moda de este paĆs como el papel de las Primeras Damas a lo largo de la historia, y aprender algo sobre todas estas mujeres asĆ que espero que os guste este post, os aviso que es bastante largo, asĆ que coged una taza de tĆ© y poneros cĆ³modas!
Good morning! Today I have a very patriotic fashion exhibition, welcome to America! Introducing the First Ladies dresses from 1789 until now. I wouldn't say Washington is a city for Fashion lovers, however, they have a pretty good collection of historical pieces at the National Museum of American History, which I have visited twice. I have really enjoyed seeing the evolution in fashion as well as in these women roles, and I have also learned a little about all of them, so I hope you like it!
Empiezo con un vestido que estĆ” en Mount Vernon, la casa original de George Washington, el primer presidente de Estados Unidos. Este vestido es una rĆ©plica del vestido de novia que llevĆ³ Martha Washington, Primera Dama de 1789 a 1797. Al morir su anterior marido, ella se encargo de gestionar sus negocios de comercio con Londres, y aprovechaba a pedir encajes, telas, tocados, guantes de piel de cordero y medias de seda, exigiendo siempre la mejor calidad, por lo que para su segunda boda pudo lucirse bien.
Let's start with a dress that is actually in Mount Vernon, the house that belonged to George Washington, the first President of the United States. This dress is a replica of Martha Washington's wedding dress, she was First Lady from 1789 to 1797. When her first husband died, she had to manage the family business, importing from London, so she asked for fabrics, hats, lambskin gloves and silk stockings, demanding always the best quality, so on her second wedding she had everything she needed to look amazing.
Seguimos con el resto de vestidos, que estĆ”n en el Museo de Historia Americana de Washington. Os los he ordenado cronolĆ³gicamente porque en el museo estĆ”n dispersos en varias colecciones y organizados de otra manera.
The rest of the dresses are in the National Museum of American History in Washington. I have arranged them in chronological order, as they are arranged in several shows in a different way.
Dolley Payne Todd Madison fue Primera Dama de 1809 a 1817. En el ambiente de partidos enfrentados, ella se encargĆ³ de ser la cara sonriente y la anfitriona que suavizaba tensiones organizando eventos semanales en los que se consolidĆ³ la importancia de su figura en la Casa Blanca. Sus vestidos son ideales para recibir invitados en estas reuniones:
Dolley Payne Todd Madison was First Lady from 1809 to 1817. The partisan society was tense, so she became the smiling face and hosted weekly events where they could all mingle. She became an essential figure in the White House. Her dresses were perfect to welcome guests to her events:
Mary Todd Lincoln ocupĆ³ el puesto de 1861 a 1865, al mes de empezar estallĆ³ la Guerra Civil, y sus esfuerzos se centraron en dar una imagen de solidez, organizando un programa de entretenimiento y caridad, para que los ciudadanos confiasen en que la uniĆ³n del paĆs permanecerĆa.
Mary Todd Lincoln took the role from 1861 to 1865. The Civil War started a month after she became First Lady, so she had to focus on giving a solid image, organising entertainment and charity actions so the people would trust that the Union will prevail.
Julia Dent Grant no tenĆa ningĆŗn interĆ©s en la moda, su Ćŗnico objetivo era ir vestida de acuerdo a su posiciĆ³n de Primera Dama de 1869 a a 1877. Ella estaba casi mĆ”s interesada en llegar a la Casa Blanca que su marido, e intento alargar su estancia todo lo posible. Su papel, despuĆ©s de aƱos de guerra y dramas, fue hacer de anfitriona y organizar eventos para disfrutar, e intentĆ³ que su puesto se reconociese igual que el de las consortes de otros lĆderes extranjeros.
Julia Dent Grant had no interest in fashion, she only cared about dressing according to her position as First Lady from 1869 to 1877. She was more excited than her husband about entering the White House, and tried to stay as long as possible. Her main goal, after years of war and drama, was organising lavish events to enjoy. She also tried to be respected and formally recognised as important as the wives of foreign leaders.
Lucy Webb Hayes fue su sucesora, de 1877 a 1881, y tampoco tenĆa mucho interĆ©s por la moda. Su vestuario seguĆa las tendencias de la Ć©poca y era recatado, cubriendo siempre el cuello y los brazos, por lo que fue alabada y criticada a partes iguales:
Lucy Webb Hayes was First Lady from 1877 to 1881, and did not care much about fashion. Her style followed the trends and she liked modest clothing that covered her arms and throat. She received both praise and criticism for her restrained wardrobe:
De 1886 a 1889 y de nuevo de 1893 a 1897 Frances Folson Cleveland fue la Primera Dama. Ella se casĆ³ en la Casa Blanca muy joven, y se convirtiĆ³ en el referente de estilo inmediatamente. Al terminar su papel de Primera Dama siguiĆ³ involucrada en polĆtica, apoyando la Primera Guerra Mundial y adoctrinando a los niƱos para que estuviesen a favor desde pequeƱos. TambiĆ©n hizo campaƱa contra el sufragio femenino, diciendo que las mujeres todavĆa no eran lo suficientemente inteligentes para votar. Menuda elementa!
From 1886 to 1889 and again from 1893 to 1897, Frances Folson Cleveland was the Nation's hostess. She got married at the White House really young and became a fashion icon immediately. After leaving the position she stayed involved in politics, supporting the World War and trying to indoctrinate children at school in favor of war. She also campaigned against women's suffrage saying women weren't yet intelligent enough to vote. What a piece of work!
Caroline Scott Harrison asumiĆ³ el puesto de 1889 a 1892, convirtiĆ©ndose en una mujer ejemplar que, siguiendo la polĆtica econĆ³mica America First de su marido, mandĆ³ hacer su vestido de inauguraciĆ³n y el resto de su vestuario dentro del paĆs.
Caroline Scott Harrison made the honours from 1889 to 1892, becoming an example of the good American woman. He followed her husband America First economy policy and had her inaugural gown and the rest of her wardrobe made in the States.
Edith Carow Roosevelt estuvo en la Casa Blanca de 1901 a 1909 y para poder seguir dedicando tiempo a su familia, dio a su puesto un carĆ”cter mĆ”s profesional, delegando tareas y contratando personal que trabajaba bajo sus directrices: ocupĆ”ndose de la correspondencia, la comida o la protecciĆ³n de sus hijos de la prensa.
Edith Carow Roosevelt was First Lady from 1901 to 1909 and, to make time for her family, she defined her duties as a real job, setting guidelines and delegating in paid experts that dealt with: menus, correspondence, staff, press...
De 1915 a 1921 Edith Bolling Wilson se instalĆ³ en la Casa Blanca. Fue una mujer bien vestida, que elegĆa cuidadosamente sus vestidos. TenĆa predilecciĆ³n por los diseƱos sencillos, negros y traĆdos de ParĆs de House of Worth.
From 1915 to 1921 Edith Bolling Wilson assumed the role. She was a well dressed woman that chose carefully her gowns. She liked simple black dresses, specially if they were from House of Worth in Paris.
Grace Goodhue Coolidge hizo los honores de 1923 a 1929, era aficionada a las compras y asĆ lo publicitaba. Aunque decĆa no tener un color favorito, puso de moda el rojo.
Grace Goodhue Coolidge was Fist Lady from 1923 to 1929. She loved shopping and it was well publicized. She said she had no favorite color, but she made red very popular.
Lou Henry Hoover habitĆ³ la Casa Blanca de 1929 a 1933, pero antes de convertirse en Primera Dama ya era una de las mujeres mejor vestidas del paĆs. Fue la primera mujer de un presidente en aparecer en Vogue. Siempre vistiĆ³ prendas hechas en America y se obsesionĆ³ con promover los vestidos de algodĆ³n, hasta el punto de que le diseƱasen un vestido de fiesta hecho de algodĆ³n para apoyar la industria algodonera.
Lou Henry Hoover stayed in the White House from 1929 to 1933, but she was in the country's best dressed list before becoming First Lady. She was the first one to appear on Vogue, and she always wore dresses made in America. She made a point of wearing cotton dresses, including a specially designed evening gown, to promote the cotton textile industry.
En esta Ć©poca la sociedad americana estaba cambiando y ya no habĆa servicio en todas las casas, por lo que muchas mujeres tenĆan que hacer las tareas del hogar, para lo que se inventaron los "Hooverettes" una especie de vestido-delantal-bata realizado en algodĆ³n y muy barato, perfecto para trabajar en casa y no ensuciar los vestidos de salir. Si querĆ©is que os cuente mĆ”s de esa prenda, decidme en comentarios!
During these changing times, house service stopped being common in every home, so most women had to do house work and this way the "Hooverettes" were born, as a cheap cotton housedress that women could wear to do their tasks without spoiling the nice dresses they wore outside. If you want to know more about them, let me know!
Eleanor Roosevelt fue la Primera Dama de Estados Unidos (y, para algunos, del Mundo) de 1933 a 1945. Con todo lo que viajaba, era una mujer prĆ”ctica, que preferĆa atuendos sencillos que poder combinar con distintos accesorios o blusas segĆŗn la ocasiĆ³n. Fue una mujer tremendamente implicada en polĆtica, y por ello tenĆa poco tiempo libre, por lo que apostaba por la moda prĆŖt-Ć -porter, y siempre se preocupĆ³ de que esta no se hiciese en talleres de explotaciĆ³n laboral. Es considerada una de las lĆderes mĆ”s influyentes del s.XX, habiendo presidido la ComisiĆ³n de Derechos Humanos de las Naciones Unidas y participado en la creaciĆ³n de la DeclaraciĆ³n Universal de los Derechos Humanos. Este fue su vestido de inauguraciĆ³n, con unas mangas que se le podĆan aƱadir:
Eleanor Roosevelt was First Lady of the United States (and of the World for many people) from 1933 to 1945. She traveled a lot, so she preferred simple outfits that she could wear with different accessories. She was always very involved in politics, so ready made clothes were a good option for her, but she cautioned against clothes made in sweatshops. She is considered one on the most influential leaders of the 20th century, and pressed the country to join the United Nations and became its first delegate. She was also first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights and oversaw the draft of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This was her inauguration gown, which had detachable sleeves:
De 1953 a 1961 Mamie Doud Eisenhower ocupĆ³ el puesto de Primera Dama. A ella le encantaba la moda y apoyaba a los diseƱadores que le gustaban, pero le hacĆa igual de feliz un vestido hecho a medida que comprar sombreros por catĆ”logo o en grandes almacenes con descuentos. Las mujeres del paĆs copiaban los looks de la seƱora Eisenhower y la moda de sus brazaletes de charms.
Mamie Doud Eisenhower was First Lady from 1953 to 1961. She loved fashion and patronized well known designer, but also enjoyed discounted ready-made dresses from department stores. Women copied her style and her charm bracelets.
En 1961 llega a la Casa Blanca Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, que revoluciona el estilo de la Ć©poca con su vestuario diseƱado por Oleg Cassini. Los trajes sencillos de silueta A se conocĆan como "Look Kennedy" y cualquier asociaciĆ³n con Jackie era suficiente para vender dede trajes hasta gafas, hasta el punto que los maniquĆ se las tiendas acabaron pareciĆ©ndose a ella. Su pasiĆ³n por las Bellas Artes la llevĆ³ a renovar la Casa Blanca y reconociendo su valor histĆ³rico y la importancia de protegerla, asĆ como el resto de casas antiguas de la plaza Lafayette. El traje diseƱado por Chanel que llevaba el dĆa que asesinaron a su marido todavĆa estĆ” en la memoria de muchas generaciones. Estos son dos de los diseƱos de Cassini:
In 1961 Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy arrived at the White House, changing the style of that time with her wardrobe, designed by Oleg Cassini. Simple A line suits were known as "the Kennedy look" and anything related to her sold fast, from copied dresses to hats or lipstick, and even the mannequins resembled the First Lady. Her passion for fine arts made her restore the White House and she focused on returning its historical character and protecting it, along with the old houses in Lafayette Square. The Chanel designed suit that she was wearing when her husband was killed has remain in the memory of many generations. This are some of Cassini designs:
Tras el asesinato de Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson pasĆ³ de Segunda a Primera Dama, puesto que ocupĆ³ de 1963 a 1969. Su estilo recuerda al de Jackie y al de los 60, y su objetivo fue ser Ćŗtil y embellecer el paĆs. ApoyĆ³ un plan para reducir la pobreza infantil buscando casas de acogida para los niƱos y se centro en embellecer las carreteras y las ciudades del paĆs, aprovechando los recursos naturales y protegiendo el medio ambiente.

Betty Bloomer Ford no tuvo vestido de inauguraciĆ³n, pues asumiĆ³ el puesto al renunciar Nixon. Fue Primera Dama de 1974 a 1977 y, aunque centro sus esfuerzos en defender la igualdad de derechos, se la recuerda por su reacciĆ³n al ser diagnosticada de cĆ”ncer de mama. Gracias a ella se empezĆ³ hablar abiertamente de ello y la sociedad empezĆ³ a concienciarse de la enfermedad. El vestido verde manzana lo donĆ³ ella a la fundaciĆ³n Smithsonian para estar representada en esta colecciĆ³n:
Betty Bloomer Ford did not have an inauguration since she assumed the role when Nixon resigned, but she chose the green dress to represent her at the Smithsonian collection, She was First Lady from 1974 to 1977, she campaigned for Equal Rights, but is remembered for her reaction when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Rosalynn Smith Carter became First Lady in 1977 and wore the previous blue dress to her inauguration. She had already worn the outfit when her husband became Governor of Georgia. Rosalynn focused on social policy issues and specially on mental health. She was always very involved in politics.
De 1981 a 1989 la Casa Blanca tuvo de anfitriona a Nancy Davis Reagan, que devolviĆ³ algo de glamour hollywoodiense con su vestuario de diseƱo y puso de moda el "rojo Reagan". Nancy hacĆa etiquetar cada traje con los datos de la ocasiĆ³n en la que lo habĆa puesto para organizarse mejor en sus apariciones pĆŗblicas. Su principal objetivo fue la lucha contra las drogas y animar al presidente a construir una relaciĆ³n pacĆfica con la UniĆ³n SoviĆ©tica.

Solo necesitĆ”is unas hojas secas que recojĆ”is del campo o de algĆŗn parque y algunas calabazas. Yo he aƱadido algunas calabazas artificiales para dar color y luz, unos platos combinados en el mismo color y cubiertos con el mango de madera para continuar con el estilo natural y rĆŗstico. Os dejo un video para que veĆ”is lo sencillo y rĆ”pido que es!

Buenos dĆas! Hoy os traigo un poquito de decoraciĆ³n. Mi abuelo Pepe era pintor, asĆ que todas mis casas siempre han estado repletas de sus cuadros, pero al mudarme a Estados Unidos me vi rodeada de paredes blancas, asĆ que he tenido que ir decorando poco a poco. Una idea que me gusta es la de crear "paredes galerĆa", es decir, colocar varios cuadros en una misma pared, pero esta vez en vez de solamente cuadros, he utilizado elementos algo diferentes. QuĆ© os parece?
Buenos dĆas! It's decoration time. My grandad was a painter, so every home I've lived in has always been loaded with pictures, but when I moved to United States I found myself surrounded by empty white walls, so I had to get creative. I love "gallery walls" with many pictures arranged on a wall, but this time I decided not to use just pictures, so I put together different pieces. What do you think?
Camp: Notes on Fashion, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
By Sugar Lane - Monday, August 19, 2019
Buenos dĆas! Uno de los motivos de mi Ćŗltimo viaje a Nueva York fue visitar la exposiciĆ³n de moda del Met, que este aƱo estĆ” dedicada al concepto del "Camp". Una estĆ©tica exagerada, ostentosa, con sentido del humor y sexual. A lo largo de la historia a vivido diferentes etapas, y como una imagen vale mĆ”s que mil palabras a continuaciĆ³n os resumo en imĆ”genes esta exposiciĆ³n, que probablemente no sea la mĆ”s bonita que os he enseƱado ni tenga muchos vestidos de ensueƱo, pero abre la mente y reflexiona sobre cada pieza!
Good morning! One of the highlights of my latest trip to New York was visiting the fashion exhibition at the Met, which this year focuses on Camp: an aesthetic related to the exaggeration, with a sense of humor and a lot of sexuality. The concept has evolved during the years, and, since an image is worth a thousand words, I'm showing you this exhibition in a few images, which might be not the prettiest dresses ever, but they surely open your mind and make you think a lot!
How to Pack really (reeeeally) light: Summer edition
By Sugar Lane - Tuesday, August 06, 2019
Me encanta viajar, desde siempre. Y cuando digo viajar no tiene por quĆ© ser cogiendo un vuelo y cruzando medio mundo (quĆ© tambiĆ©n), puede ser salir de casa por la maƱana, visitar algĆŗn pueblo a pocos kilĆ³metros y volver esa misma noche, la felicidad es viajar sin equipaje. Desde hace muchos aƱos dejĆ© de facturar maletas, hasta el punto de que cuando me mudĆ© a la India, hace 10 aƱos, lo hice con una maletita de cabina (podĆ©is recordarlo aquĆ). Durante aƱos fui perfeccionando la tĆ”ctica de hacer la maleta con un mĆ©todo infalible que podĆ©is ver aquĆ, pero seguĆa teniendo que arrastrar el equipaje.
I love traveling, since I can remember. And when I travel it doesn't have to be far away by plane (although I also love that!), it can be a short day trip to some town nearby, cause when I travel with no luggage it makes me really happy. Years ago I stopped checking in luggage when taking a plane, to the point that when I moved to India, 10 years ago, I took just a cabin trolley with me (you can read more about that here). I have been improving my packing skills for years, but I still had a trolley to drag all over the airport.
Hace unos cuatro aƱos Carlos y yo empezamos a hacer escapadas haciendo solo una noche fuera, por nuestro trabajo no era fĆ”cil juntar 3 dĆas libres, no tenĆamos puentes ni festivos, asĆ que nos adaptamos. Como tenĆamos el tiempo escaso, decidimos probar un sistema nuevo; no ir al hotel hasta la hora de dormir. De esta forma al llegar al destino lo disfrutamos directamente, sin perder tiempo en hacer el check in, y el dĆa de vuelta aprovechamos hasta el Ćŗltimo minuto en la ciudad. El truco? Irnos con lo puesto y llevar en el bolso los cepillos de dientes, ropa interior y una barra de labios. Nadie se muere por ponerse la misma ropa dos dĆas.
Four years ago, Carlos and I started going on short trips, sleeping out just one night, cause taking 3 days off from our jobs wasn't really an option. Since we had little time, we planned a new strategy; not going to the hotel until it was time to sleep. This way, once we land on our destination we get to enjoy the place every minute, we don't waste any time dropping our luggage and checking in at the hotel, and the day after we get to enjoy every single minute until it's time to leave. The trick? Travel with whatever clothes we are wearing, toothbrushes, underwear and a lipstick. Wearing the same clothes 2 days in a row is not such a drama!
Cuando pruebas este sistema ya no quieres hacer maletas nunca mĆ”s, pero claro, esto vale para hacer una noche fuera. Cuando nos mudamos a Estados Unidos empezamos a hacer viajes mĆ”s largos, pero decidimos seguir sin pasar por el hotel a hacer check in, asĆ que he seguido depurando mi mĆ©todo y viajo con todo lo que necesito en un bolso. Siempre utilizo el bolso Le Pliage de Longchamp porque es el mĆ”s ligero y resistente, se cierra con cremallera para ir tranquila y es bastante discreto. De momento tiene capacidad comprobada para 4 dĆas/3 noches en clima frĆo y 8 dĆas/7 noches en clima caliente.
Once you try this method a couple of times you won't ever want to pack again, but, of course, this is fine for a couple of days. When we moved to United States we started going on longer trips, but we were determined to continue on our no-luggage method, so I improved my packing game and take all I need in my bag. I always use the Longchamp Le Pliage cause it is light and strong, I can close it easily and it is very neutral. So far it holds everything I need for 4 days/3 nights in cold weather and 8 days/ 7 nights in warm weather (I had to add a small crossbody on my latest trip)
Hoy os enseƱo mi Ćŗltimo equipaje, para pasar una semana en Florida, incluyendo dĆas de playa, noches de cena romĆ”ntica, excursiones en la naturaleza, visita a parque temĆ”ticos... Estos son mis trucos para llevar todo lo necesario:
Today I'm showing you what I packed for my latest trip. We spent a week in Florida, including beach days, romantic date nights, nature walks, amusement parks... And this are my tips to fit everything you need:
Selecciona partes de abajo neutras: Siempre un vaquero, una falda y un short si es verano.
Da color con paƱuelos o prendas de seda que no ocupan espacio y son frescas. Un camisĆ³n lencero te puede servir de vestido de fiesta en una emergencia ;)
Select neutral bottoms: Always take a pair of jeans, a skirt and a pair of short in Summer.
Add a pop of color with silk scarves or garnments that don't take much space and feel fresh. The right lace nightgown can be used as a party dress for emergencies ;)
Deja las prendas que mĆ”s pesen y abulten para llevarlas puestas el dĆa del viaje, asegĆŗrate que sean cĆ³modas.
Separate the heavier and bulkier pieces to wear on the day you travel, and make sure you feel comfortable in them.
Encaja todo con orden: los bolsos mas pequeƱos dentro de los mas grandes (la cesta Fladis de Ikea cabe plegada dentro del bolso y es ideal para ir a la playa), dobla toda la ropa al mismo tamaƱo y ponla en un bolso de tela (los de Cascabel son fantƔsticos y ademƔs reversibles), rellena los huecos con la ropa interior, mete los zapatos en una bolsa de tela, el maquillaje y accesorios en vez de en un neceser llƩvalos en un bolso pequeƱito (yo llevo una paleta de Dior que tiene sombras, labiales y colorete).

Fit everything in order: smaller bags inside bigger ones (Ikea Fladis basket fits inside the bag and it's perfect for the beach), fold everything in the same size and put it in a fabric tote (Cascabel ones are wonderful and also reversible!), fill the space left with your underwear, fit all your shoes in a dust bag, change the toiletries bag for a small bag and fill it with makeup and accessories (I use a Dior palette that comes with lipgloss, eyeshadow and bronzer).
