So I'm back from my holidays (sniff...).
I have had a great time, lots of sun. By the way, I bought a pair of wayfarers! (Well, someone gave them to me as a present, I'm so spoiled :D). They are great, white... I look perfect on them. Right now I'm looking at them, they are on my desktop. Shining. Okay, I stop, haha.
I went to the beach, I have been tanning and looking at the sky (with diaaamonds...), thinking and reading a lot. I bought a stack of magazines and I did nothing but read them and drink fresh beverages. It has been great.
I also went to Marbella, and did a lot of shopping in Puerto Banus. Well, if you call shopping this: "Can I take this catalogue, please?". At the end of the day I was carrying Dior, Loewe, Armani shopping bags as if I had just bought the most expensive handbags and shoes.
I was astonished when I saw how many fake handbags and belts they were selling. They even stopped next to the boutiques, so you could see a man selling fake Loewes next to the real Loewe boutique. Something like: "Well, you saw the prices and you didn't buy anything, so buy yourself this gift, it looks almost the same". I laughed out loud when I saw a belt with the Louis Vuitton logo and big CHANEL letters in gold.
Oh, and when I entered the Chloé boutique (can you believe I had never been to a Chloé boutique?), I felt in paradise. The clothes were ethereal silk clouds and the dresses whispered "Buy me, wear me". I was like "I can't believe I am touching what I've been seeing on the internet over and over". I felt I could stay there forever.
Ya he vuelto de mis vacaciones. (Sniff....)
Me lo he pasado fenomenal, ha sido muy divertido y nos ha hecho un tiempo buenísimo. Por cierto, que me compré las wayfarers! (Bueno, me las han regalado, estoy muy mimada, jeje). Me encantan, son blancas... me quedan genial. Ahora mismo las estoy viendo, en mi mesa. Brillando.
Vale, ya paro.
He ido a la playa casi todos los días, a tomar el sol y a mirar al cielo, pensando y leyendo un montón. Me compré una pila de revistas y lo único que he hecho ha sido leerlas y beber refrescos. Genial.
También estuve en Marbella, en Puerto Banús de compras. Bueno, si puedes llamar "compras" a: "¿Me puedo llevar este catálogo?". Al final de la tarde iba cargada de bolsas de Dior, Loewe, Armani, como si me acabara de comprar mil pares de zapatos y bolsos carísimos.
Me impresionó muchísimo la cantidad de bolsos y cinturones falsos que vendían. Podías encontrarte a un hombre vendiendo Loewes falsos en la puerta de la boutique de Loewe. Lo que es la psicología, "Ya has visto los precios, son carísimos y no te has comprado nada, te mereces un regalo, esto es más barato y prácticamente igual, no se darán cuenta". Lo que me reí cuando vi un cinturón con estampado del logo de LV y unas letras de CHANEL bien grandes en metal plateado como cierre.
Oh, y cuando entré en Chloé... fue como llegar al paraíso, sin exagerar (¿te puedes creer que nunca había entrado en una tienda Chloé?). La ropa era etérea, como nubes de seda, y los vestidos susurraban "Cómprame, pruébame". Me sentía en plan "No puedo creer que esté tocando algo que he estado viendo en internet durante meses". Me pareció como si me pudiera quedar allí para siempre.

Nylon April 2008 with Anja Rubik, Chloë Sevigny and Clémence Poèsy
Although Fashionologie and Starbucks and Jane Austen have already posted about it, I can't avoid publishing this great cover from Nylon.
By the way, I suscribed two months ago and I still haven't received any issue. Bad Nylon, bad!

And this image I scanned from Elle.
Now, the meme that Tinsley has asked me to do:
What is the story behind the name of your blog and your nickname?
As I already explained, I wanted a mix between what I like the most (la playa, or the beach, which is the same but in spanish). And I loved the "Miss", so that's how I made the name.
I also use the nickname Verymoni, because my real name is Monica, but they call me Moni, and the web I made was very moni, you know, very me.
Why did you start blogging in the first place?
Because I was tired of the rest of blogs. Well, I loved and I still love reading them, but I would upset when they didn't update, so I created my own blog to update whenever I liked. I also wanted to post about things that I liked and that I found interesting. From clothes to Jude Law.
What has been your best blogging experience? What about the worst?
The best is always yet to come, but the comments are always a pleasure, and I thank you all my readers for them. Your comments are great. About the worst... maybe having my posts copied without crediting.
What do you think/ want to happen to your blog in 2008?
I want to change the design, organize things a little bit...
