THE BEST SHOES IN THE WORLD


We Talk today about the five most prestigious designers in the Fashion world.




5. Brian Atwood shoes on the red carpet to exhaustion.

And something is because of this designer shoes are bold American, sexies, have great style, simply beautiful.




4. Two words perfectly define the shoes of the late British designer, Alexander McQueen: extravagant and transgressive. In fact, he said the "rebel child" of fashion.

3. Want shoes with femininity, luxury and glamor? Then go for a few of Malay, Jimmy Choo, the designer of exquisite handmade shoes.





2. If you love fashion, especially shoes you're a fan, you probably know what "Manolos" so they are not in the fashion world to Manolo Blahnik shoes, perhaps the most prestigious women's footwear designers.


His creations are famous for the great design work behind them look like works of art, rather than shoe-use patterns and many colors, luxurious details and striking edge stilettos.

Los Manolos had a major role in Sex and the City, as the character Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker, was a fan of theM... Who not?





1. How could it be otherwise! The French Christian Louboutin leads the ranking of the top designers of shoes.


And, in addition to beautiful, versatile and always original details. The native parisian designer has become an icon, his designs capturing the eye, and hearts, of women everywhere.

However, it wasn't until 1992 that Louboutin's dazzling designs incorporated the shiny, red-lacquered soles that have become his signature.  This happened by accident as he felt the shoes lacked energy so he applied an employees red nail varnish to the sole of the shoe.  It was such a success that it became a permanent fixture.



From delicate sandals and ballerinas up with a heel stilettos and platforms fine leather, with studs and animal prints, Christian Louboutin shoes are the dream of every woman.


Louboutin launched his own champagne in partnership with champagne house Piper Heidsieck.  To commemorate, they released a limited edition Le Rituel box set.  The ritual, dating back to the 1880's, is emblematic of Europe at it's peak ~ drinking from the shoe of a woman.  The crystal heel stiletto designed by Louboutin has the signature red sole.

HOW TO SUVIVE THE SUPERMARKET WITH THE KIDS!!


                                            My Little girl.. Perfect photo and Perfect Shop

When I get married I loved going the small stores Gourmets, and I did not have to buy diapers, wipes, toilet paper in bulk .. yeah, that kind of thing now go to COSCO Supermarket. (some friends love it)


                                     Happy Times without Ipod, Ipad, etc..


In that supermarket  Gourmets the fruit and vegetables was fantastic and employees treated you like a Queen...




But...Now in Aldi is another thing, which is what you think when you have to throw things in the trolley and then put it in the bags .. Double work! finally, the quality and the price worthwhile.

Anyway all this changes as you have children, not better or worse, not thinking but change!


                             I can't belive it.. but.. sometime Happen..

Currently, in my case has turned a challenge, I have four children under five years and another on the way, and buying is a constant battle of obstacles.




The first is to look for the Trolley, and in those tiny seats, trying to put the feet that never want to get, even worse is when the kids want to be where you have to put everything or will hang on the sides.





Once installed in the car, we started buying list in hand, continually enduring "I want this" I want the other "we have survived and all children around .. NOOOOOO missing one, run, calling his name and looks at all the supermarket, always the same ... finally appears ..
At the checkout, you start to see 100 articles you had not gotten you at any time, go away ...

Finally give them a lollipop to everyone, because we are all well, that blackmails mother occasionally to children in times of stress .., is wrong, but it is inevitable .. gradually and with peace!

We go with the trolley as we can, tried the straight line, and suddenly one of those gadgets that you try to avoid, the carrousel, cute when you have time and you go with your dear husband, but when you're in a hurry, exhausted and the baby wants eat and sleep .. these beautiful carrousels are not so ... posibble running as much advance .. "Tomorrow, really my darling, tomorrow"


I got to the car, and another adventure leave the purchase, putting children, leave the trolley in its row, and start your car ...Ufff  TEST PASSED!, Hoping that you are not forgetting anything to not have to go back!


Well, we have explained a routine purchase with the kids, but it's also funny how you are helping as they grow, every time they ask for less stuff and everything is fleeting, grow and even this would miss.




In conclusion, be happy with what you have and patience, in the past always see them happy .. don't you think?




But....  I prefer shopping for clothes and alone! But for me.. is a dream.. Maybe sometime or maybe not... 



Lovely,

Halloween and the Feast of All Saints





At this time, Catholics celebrate the day of All Saints, a tradition in which we commemorate those who are in Heaven. But times have changed, and now we also have another pagan holiday called Halloween, we all know where it comes,  Halloween has pagan origins. This celebration is credited to the Celts, and was originally called "Samhain", which among other hoes, was to worship the dead. The invasion of the Romans (46 BC) to the British Isles resulted in the mixture of Celtic culture with the traditions and customs of continental Europe. Druidry gradually decreased to evangelism, and eventually disappear.


I love celebrating all, but like Catholic Parents should also take care that halloween not replace the Solemnity of All Saints, feast reminds us that many saints in heaven, not only canonized. We recall the communion of saints, we are all called by God to be holy and a day to get to heaven.


In the School of children is celebrated as the feast of All Saints, children dress up as their favorite saint, in my case Nicolas, was dressed as St. Nicolas, Bishop, then Santa Claus would be. 



I love to study the lives of the saints, in the end really forget Halloween, until the day comes to trick or treat and sweets, can not take that away from head to them.



I think we mustn't be scrupulous, we live in the world, and I think you have to explain it to the kids, Halloween is a pagan celebration, who dress something scary for them, get lollies and get to keep friends, after Catholics celebrate our party, going to Mass, remembering our loved ones, eating bones Saint, or fritters..


A if I hope that you spend a happy day of All Saints, we cook pumpkin pie, and neither eat many sweets, but above all be happy enjoy with the family!

WEDNESDAY: 

15 MINS BLACK BEANS SALAD- MEXICAN RECIPES




This colorful salad features black beans, onion, tomato, tangy lime juice, zesty cilantro and some seasonings. This colorful, high fiber, high protein salad makes a great side dish, appetizer served with chips, or lunch served with fresh tortillas. This salad is low in fat and loaded with antioxidants and fibers. Black beans make a complete protein when paired with brown rice, which is often why they are so commonly included in a vegetarian diet.

TUNA CROQUETTES:In the next post give you the recipe, is the favorite food of my children, if I often repeat enough.

THURSDAY:

LASAGNA

This plate seems complicated, but then customize each what we like, and more or less ingredients, going to taste of each, you can also make pork meat, tuna or vegetables.

FRIDAY

Pure Pumpkin & Potato omelette.. Very Spanish




SATURDAY



CHICKEN CURRY, This plate has many ways to get, but really I do not complicate with 100 ground spices, and what I do with curry and apple, is very soft and I do almost crumbled chicken.

I hope that helps, now that the kids are on holiday and we seem to have more time for them!
