Amy´s rules

Please, can anyone that doesn´t know who is Amy Winehouse put his /hers hands up??In spite of not seeing you, i bet that you don´t put your hands up!! That is clear, Amy has become one of the most popular celebrities all over the world because her addictions and scandals.

However, she is a great artist, her voice is unique!! Unfortunately, most people has known first Amy´s scandals than Amy´s music.

This British girl started her musical carrear when she was only 16. Nowadays, she is 25 and she continues her carrear in spite of the fact that she nearly died last June due to an overdose.

Her addiction not only did she cause the worst public image that you can imagine , but it also caused her several problems with other celebrities or designers such as Harvey Nicholson who put Amy in his hit list after vomiting in her $ 47 000 dress designed by him. ((She should earn a lot of money if she can afford a $47 000 dress every night!! ))

Moreover, she has been really criticed by the media about her dirty (sometimes scruffy) appearence. However, you can´t image how many Amy´s trends become really stylish ones these days. For instance, what about this neckerchief used instead of hair bands?? What about scruffy jean shorts? I know that it was fashionable sometime ago, but maybe she contributed to increase its popularity.

I reckon that she is a great artist and i really like her music, but what I really love from her is its personality and the way she uses it in her own benefit. Because being a celebrity, you are half recognised by your work and half recognised by your life, and.. basically this second part helps (a lot) to become a well-know artist!

partying? Ask 4 snake bit!!

Snake bite is as popular in U.K as Calimoxo is in Spain. There are lots of varieties of snake bite cocktail, but I will tell just one. In spite of the fact that you may think that this mixure of ingredients would create a disgusting cocktail such as Bloody Mary ( for handovers) I promise you, that you first impression will have nothing to do with the impression you will have when you tasted it, trust me !!

The recipt is so easy;

You just need:

apple cider ( sidra inglesa, es como cerveza rubia pero mas acida )

a large ( cerveza rubia )

a bottle of raspberry ( granadina) it is also possible strawberry

a bottle of orange juice (zumo de naranja)

a shot of a spirit (un chupito de algun licor) it could be tekila, vozka ...

Mix the same quantity of cider and lager (more less half pint) and add one quarter of raspberry juice. The other quarter is a shot of spirit and the rest is orange juice. Mix it all !!

Mezcla la misma cantidad de sidra que de cerveza, aproximadamente la mitad del vaso. Luego añade un cuarto de vaso de granadina , añade un chupito de licor y rellena con naranja. Mezclalo todo bien y listo!!!

Candem is a MUST !

I have plenty of good memories about the time I live in London, but one of the places that really impressed me was CANDEM TOWN!!



Candem Town is a part of a Londoner neighbourhood, Candem which stands out for the amazing mixure of different people. If you visit London, to visit Candem should be nearly compulsury.

This is the authentic essence of CANDEM TOWN. A mixure of different cultures and life styles such as punks, goths, urbans... Whatever is possible here, in Candem Town. This is exactly which makes it an outstanding place!!






Which makes it really remarkable is that Candem is one of the biggest concentrations of vintage and retro clothing outlets in London and probably Europe, a popular centre for discerning visitors from around the world. Not only are there plenty of shops but also, there is a wonderful market, called Candem Lock, where you can find music, clothes, and some types of items. One of the most popular are Pope which is a legal drug which makes you laugh like a join can do.







To decorate any home and give as wonderful gifts, explore a selection of home furnishings, unique fabrics, paintings and prints. Made-to-order & handcrafted mirrors and frames are also available in shops and in Candem Lock.

I remember the first time I went there, it was amusing! in some occasions I felt really puzzled due to this "odd" people that I wasn´t used to see!! Of course, I noticed that there you can find several items that nowhere you will find them again. Some of the most stylish celebrities in U.K , such Kate Moss or Pete Doherty( which style absolutely matches with Candem, doesn´t it?? ) go to Candem from time to time to do some shopping. If you have been there, you probably agree with me that this is a unique place to get things that you may have never thought that they exist!!

Most businesses are open from 10am until at least 6pm seven days a week. Moreover, tatoo or piercing shops are really common as well as second hand clothing.

One of the most remarkable shops is one where the shopassistants are still and wearing cyber punk (futuristic) clothes ( I can´t quite remember the name). Which makes it different is the fact of none of these shopassistants are allowed to move until you asked for something.

Apart from the shopping, Candem offers a great variety of Pubs, most of them have been created for a very especific clientele. The Devonshire, or The Dev to its friends, is the perfect example of a pub with a clearly defined niche clientele - in this case it's your average Goth - Cyberpunk type. The sign on the door says 'strict dress code only' and they mean it - any colour you like so long as it's black. Do not wear a suit in here unless you are being post-modern.

There are plenty of things to talk about Candem. However, go there and discover them by yourself!!!!!
