Altea it’s a beautiful little village above a hill with sea views close to the town of Alicante, Spain. I had heard loads about it, but never been there, even if I lived for twelve years, just an hour away from it.

I decided to go last week with my closest friend Tatiana, and enjoy some sightseeing and to visit a place I’ve heard loads about, which is called “Jardin de los Sentidos” that’s actually a refurbished private villa converted into a B&B, with an amazing botanic garden, where you can also go and have drinks – cakes, or even do some Yoga, but unfortunatelly, it was closed at that particular day we went.

But it didn’t ruin the day, as I discovered beautiful roads, with amazing views and buildings surrounded of great reataurants, art galleries, boutiques and night markets. As well as spending an entire day with my best friend, was very needed, to catch up with some girly talk.

It’s a MUST place to visit if you ever travel to Alicante.

I’m totally in love with the new Topshop collection by Kate Moss. It offers an eclectic mix of vintage inspired styles, fabrics and colours.

See Kate dancing along to The Strange Boys, on Nick Knight’s short film, where she brings an airy and romantic feel to the collection.

Hard to select my favorite items, as I’m in love with all of them. So I invite you to see the whole Collection by yourself and let me know what’s your favorite one.

Find bellow some of my selected pieces for Lady Marshmallow, on the Kate Moss Spring Summer 2010 collection for Topshop.

Tuula it’s a special name for me, as it is my mothers name. But it’s also the name of an ultra cool blog and eBay store, where you can find designer and vintage outfits, that the 21 year old Jessica, online vintage store owner and model from Australia, sells and displays on her photo-shootings.

An adorable collection that you can purchase on her eBay store, and find the latest news and giveaways on her blog. You can also join Tuula on her facebook page.

No other words, to describe this  innocent rebellious Lolita look, that grabbed my attention at first sight, than watching her beautiful pictures and her great sense of styling.

Yesterday I went to Madrid and met the owners of what I would say my discovery of the year, Suma & Damsel, a Spanish hair accessory brand, mainly consisting on Victorian style hats, bands, pins and crowns for the hair.

I fell in love with the brand when I discovered their website and all those amazingly beautiful hair pieces that appeared on it. Hardly to say what will be my favorite item, as I wished to have them all. Between others, a pearl crown on the style of the princess of the “Never Ending Story” movie, or the cute little canotiers or even those pin hats inspired on the 20s era.

Anyways, I just would like to take this opportunity to thank Sophie and Susana for inviting me to their studio and having a wonderful time trying up all their fantastic collection. Not only I discovered a brand, but also a team of extremely great and creative girls, that I will definitely stay in touch with.

Also want to thank the sweetest girl in Madrid, Eugenia, for coming with me and helping me out as a model for my photo shoots.

If you wish to purchase any of this items, you can log into their website and contact them regarding the piece you want, as they do sell online by pre-ordering or made to measurement and ships anywhere in the world. Just drop them an e-mail and ask.
