It´s time for a new adventure!

Hey there,

Back from holidays only a few days ago and already thinking on my next getaway at the end of the week. 

Only this time my new awesome Gaston Luga will come with me. Full of excitement and hope. Energy and good vibes. And I´m sure it will come back full of great moments as well. 

Big enough to through in all the stuff I need: think laptop, notebook, a sweater and a scarf (we all know how cold a plane can be), and a small vanity case. 

I love it because its elegant design that goes with everything but yet its practical core. Forget about adjustable straps (of course I´d assume all backpacks have that by now), and think about its cotton and vegan leather material and its passport pocket. It is just what you need (at least it´s what I need not to be going through my bag three times to find my passport!). 

Check the different designs they´ve got on their website  and use my promotional code ´sortoffashion´ for a discount. 

Let your next adventure begin…

Safe travels!


 

Acabo de volver de vacaciones hace unos días y ya estoy pensando en mi próxima escapada, ¡no lo puedo evitar!

Pero esta vez me acompaña mi nueva Gaston Luga. Con tantas ganas de aventura como yo. Y seguro que vuelve llena de buenos momentos.

Es suficientemente grande para todo lo que necesito: portátil, libreta, un jersey y pañuelo (todos sabemos el frío helador que puede hacer en un avión), y un neceser.

Me encanta porque tiene un diseño elegante que va con todo, pero a la vez ¡es súper práctica! Olvídate de las asas ajustables (espero que todas las mochilas las tengan a estas alturas), y piensa en un material cien por cien algodón y cuero vegano, además de un bolsillo específico para el pasaporte (no sé tú, pero yo ya he perdido la cuenta de las veces que tengo que rebuscar en mi bolso para encontrarlo).

Echa un vistazo a los diferentes diseños que tienen en la web y no te olvides de usar mi descuento promocional ´sortoffashion´si tú también estás pensando en tu próxima escapada.

Comienza la aventura…

Buen viaje!

 

Hope you like it!

Lost in the woods

Hey there,

Remember I told you on my last post about the weekend I spent on the countryside? Well, here you can read all about it now. 

I spent the weekend in Haslemere,  just a quick stop away from London. I took a train from Waterloo station and it took me fifty-three minutes to arrive to Haslemere. 

I would recommend to go by car if possible, as you´d get the chance to move freely once there. Unfortunately I don´t drive, so that was´t an option for me. 

I wanted to go away for just a weekend somewhere not far to London and easy to commute to. When I checked this place on the internet and saw all the green areas on Google maps and the national parks they´re there, I knew I had found the right place. 

I stayed in a lovely eco-farm called The Barn at Roundhurst. That place was a dream with high ceilings and wooden beams. I just loved it so much, it had character and it was perfect. I´d probably describe it as high-end coziness. 

And my weekend was spent between hiking on the greenest areas I´ve ever seen, having delicious food and chilling at what felt like my home. That´s my perfect weekend if you ask me!

What is your perfect weekend?

Do you like to stay at places with character, like this one?

 


 

Aquí podéis ver todas las fotos de mi escapada del fin de semana que os adelantaba en mi último post.

Pasé el fin de semana en Haslemere, que está apenas a una hora en tren de Londres. Yo recomendaría ir con coche preferiblemente porque así te puedes mover con mayor libertad, pero yo elegí la zona en parte porque estaba bien comunicada.

Me alojé en la eco-granja deluxe The Barn at Roundhurst. Techos altos, vigas de madera…, era el lugar perfecto. Realmente sentías ese confort hogareño con detalles especiales, mucha luminosidad y espacios amplios.

Y mi finde se resumió entre hacer caminatas rodeada de verde y más verde, disfrutar de la comida británica y descansar en la que sentí como mi casa ese fin de semana. Un finde bastante guay, no creéis?

Y para vosotros, ¿qué es un finde perfecto? ¿Elegís sitios con personalidad como este?

 

Hope you like it!

Sleeping in a castle in Amberley 

 Hey there,

A few weeks ago, I went on a weekend getaway to West Sussex. It’s just an hour and a half away from London by train so I arrived there on Friday evening and went back to London on Sunday afternoon.

The place where I stayed, Amberley Castle, was just magical, and when I first arrived there I felt the days ahead were going to be magical too in a way. And sure it was.

All the food I had there was delicious and the service was excellent. Everyone was very kind and gave me some recommendations of where to go for a hike or for a good restaurant in town.

On Saturday morning I went on a long hike, which was beautiful. Luckily the weather was nice and the sun was shining. I always get that happiness boost when I go on a hike. Give me a pair of sneakers, some fresh air and green surroundings and I’ll be at my best mood.

In the afternoon, I sat in the terrace and read while drinking some tea – I’m such a British countrysider already! It was a bit chilly when the sun was gone but the sunset was just amazing. And having a flock of birds dancing and singing in front of me was just the perfect touch for such a breath-taking view.

So I guess now I can say I’ve slept in a castle, can you?


Hace unas semanas, me fue de escapada a West Sussex, situado al sur de Inglaterra. Está a una hora y pico en tren del centro de Londres, así que llegué allí el viernes por la tarde después del trabajo y regresé el domingo por la tarde.

Me hospedé en Amberley Castle, simplemente maravilloso. Es un castillo de amplio terreno que parece sacado de un cuento de hadas. Aquello ya auguraba un gran fin de semana.

La comida del sitio – tenía el desayuno incluido y cené ahí una noche – fue exquisita. Todo el personal fue súper amable y me recomendaron sitios para ir de senderismo y cenar en algún restaurante del centro del pueblo.

El sábado por la mañana me pegué un buen paseo de 15km y no me pude sentir mejor. Respirar aire fresco mientras el sol te da en la cara para mi es maravilloso, especialmente en Inglaterra, donde también es poco habitual!

Por la tarde estuve un buen rato sentada en la terraza leyendo un libro. Cuando empezó a ponerse el sol, ya se notaba el frío pero aquella vista era espectacular, así que me quedé ahí un rato embobada, mirando los colores tan mágicos del cielo y viendo cómo revoloteaban los pajarillos.

Espero que disfrutéis de las fotos y que os apuntéis este lugar tan especial, si estáis planeando una escapa a Inglaterra.
