WTV The Back-Up Friend | La Amistad de Reserva

Random day you're just walking through the streets of your city alone, maybe you were shopping or maybe just having some alone time, thinking about your stuff. You look for the nearest bus stop that drops you home and wait for the bus.

And suddenly, you hear your name.

You turn around and see someone heading in your direction and, yes, it was your name she was shouting. She comes nearer and nearer and then you see it's that friend of yours. You don't have time to think that friend isn't exactly the best word to describe your relationship with her before she hugs you like she hasn't seen you in a lifetime while asking "How are you doing?".

You start telling her about your last vacation or how stressed you are about college and love and life in general and she tells you more or less the same. 

She ends the conversation with a "We should have coffe sometime" and leaves in the other direction.

The conversation leaves me thinking about what exactly our so called friendship is based on. I know we're friends since we were in kindergarden and since then we had our ups and downs, but nothing really terrifying happened. Now, you begin to realize that if you wanted to see a new movie and your good friends couldn't come, you would call her. If you wanted to party and knew her dad would take you home, you would pretend wanting to party with her. 

Face it, she's not your friend, she's your Back-up Friend.

It means she's someone you're more or less comfortable with, although you don't have that much in common, but you could make up stuff to talk about for a while. 

In front of everyone else, you two will be seen as very good friends who know each other since they're little, but you know, and she does probably too, that this "thing" you share isn't exactly friendship.

So, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

In my opinion, it's not bad at all! This type of friendship is good to have in your inventory for special occasions where you need someone and you don't know who to call or who to talk to. 

Although you must be really careful that the other person is as independent as you are from her, that the back-up friendship is held from both sides. 

WTV The In-Relationship | La Relación de Moda

Nowadays, there seems to be a lot more types of emotional relationships than before. We've got the typical couple, the one-night-thing, the open-couple, etc...
Although the type of relationship I'm gonna talk about already existed years before, it seems that media decided to focus on it this year.

It's called Friends With Benefits or in a more vulgar way Fuck-Friends.

First, the movie No Strings Attached (Natalie Portman & Ashton Kutcher), then, the other movie Friends With Benefits (Mila Kunis & Justin Timberlake) and finally the series with the same name, Friends With Benefits.


But why is it that this kind of relationship has become so popular lately?


It usually works this way: two friends haven't had sex in a loong time and they begin to talk about it. At that time they are too busy to worry about looking for someone to relieve their tension so they think, it's not such a bad idea to hook up one time. This one-time-thing turns to a many-times-thing and since it's a person you feel very comfortable with, one (or both) begin to feel something for the other. If it's both, not a big deal, it has been working all this time so why wouldn't it continue that way? But if it's only one either you try it anyway because you don't want him to get depressed or you tell him to just stay friends.
I've lived a similar situation and I can tell you that this kind of relationships are a utopy. When you're so close to someone, love is only one step away.

So, in my opinion, it's not that such a relationship is impossible, but it is if you try it with a good friend.
My advice?
It shouldn't be called Friend with Benefit or Fuck-Friend, but just a Guy with Benefit or a Fuck-Guy.
Why? Because some guy is someone you just have met two or three times and you know only the facts about him that matter: no girlfriend, no illness, where he lives and his phone number.

That's it! You just call him for your needs and if you wanna talk, then you call a friend.

Hoy en día parece ser que hay muchos más tipos de relaciones sentimentales que antes. Tenemos la típica pareja, el rollo de una noche, una pareja abierta, etc...
Aunque el tipo de relación del que voy a escribir hace ya mucho que existe, parece ser que este año han decidido enfocarlo más de cerca.

Se les llama Amigos Con Derecho a Roce, o más vulgarmente, Follamigos.

Primero nos llega la película Sin Compromiso (Natalie Portman & Ashton Kutcher), luego una parecida llamada Con Derecho A Roce (Mila Kunis & Justin Timberlake) y finalmente una serie con el mismo nombre que la última película.

Y yo me pregunto, ¿por qué este tipo de relación ha logrado tanta popularidad últimamente?


Normalmente funciona de la siguiente manera: dos amigos que hace muuucho que no practican sexo empiezan a hablar sobre ello y como no quieren perder el tiempo buscando a alguien fiable para que satisfaga sus necesidades, quien mejor que un buen amigo y la idea de hacerlo una vez no parece tan mala. Esta cosa-de-una-noche se convierte en algo habitual y al cabo del tiempo uno de los dos (a veces ambos) empiezan a establecer un vínculo emocional con la otra persona. Si el sentimiento es mutuo habéis tenido suerte, podéis seguir tal cual o empezar una relación; si ha estado funcionando todo ese tiempo es probable que no surjan problemas. Pero el problema llega cuando el uno se lo confiesa al otro y a partir de allí hay dos caminos: la otra persona acepta para no herir a la otra, esperando sentir algo en el futuro o es honesta y le dice que sigan siendo amigos.
Yo he vivido una situación similar y ya os puedo asegurar que este tipo de relaciones son una utopía. Cuando generas una conexión tan intima con alguien, el amor está a solo un paso.

Por eso, en mi opinión, no es que tal relación sea imposible, pero sí si se establece con un buen amigo.
¿Mi consejo?
No se nos tendría que confundir llamándolo Amigo con derecho o Follamigo, sino Conocido con Derecho o Follaconocido.
¿ Por qué? Porque es simplemente alguien a quien has visto un par de veces y solo sabes las cuatro cosas que importan: sin novia, sin enfermedades, donde vive y su número de teléfono.

¡Y ya está! Le llamas cuando te apetezca y cuando quieras hablar con alguien, entonces llamas a un amigo.

WTV Comfy Fashion | Moda Cómoda (Slippers)

If you watch a typical movie that involves fashion such as Devil Wears Prada, Sex & The City, etc... you always get the idea that fashion means wearing heels all the time.

But that's definetly not true.

Do you think that everyone who loves fashion is wearing heels all the time?

Of course not! Apart from the fact that it's unhealthy, it's not necessary to look gorgeous.

I love heels, probably you do too, but it's good to combine both, don't you think?

Since I'm 5 ft 11 inches high, I only wear that kind of shoes when I party, so my day-a-day is way more comfortable. But because I love fashion and shoes are my addiction, this autumn I decided to find all the flat shoes I can to have a big repertoire.

The ones I discovered this week: Slippers.

I know you will say that they're for being at home, but aren't UGG's boots, too?

I'm sure that if you combine them the right way, they give a lot of personality and style to your look since a lot of people don't dare to wear them.

Here you can see some examples, there's a style for everyone. And I'm telling you I got one pair for me which I will show you soon and, they're super comfy!

Cuando nos sentamos a ver una película que esté involucrada con el mundo de la moda como El Diablo Viste De Prada, Sexo En Nueva York, etc... nos deja con la idea de que ir a la moda implica llevar tacones de infarto.
Pero eso es una rotunda mentira.
¿Realmente creéis que cualquiera de las aficionadas a la moda que hay por el mundo se pasa la vida sobre unos tacones?
¡Pues claro qué no!

Aparte del hecho de que no es bueno para la espalda y los pies, no son necesarios para estar fabulosa.

Personalmente, me encantan los tacones, igual que a vosotras, pero ¿no creéis que está bien combinar ambos?
Como mido 1,80 m, solo suelo llevar tacones cuando salgo de fiesta, en mi día a día, utilizo calzado mucho más cómodo. Pero como me gusta la moda y los zapatos son mi adicción, este otoño he decidido ponerme manos a la obra en la búsqueda de un amplio repertorio de zapatos planos que añadir a mi armario.

Los que descubrí esta semana: Slippers ("Pantuflas")

Seguro que muchas pensaréis que son zapatos para estar por casa, ¿pero no lo son también las UGGs?
Estoy segura de que si se combinan bien, pueden darle mucha personalidad y estilo a un look, ya que mucha gente no se atreve a ponérselas.

Aquí tenéis algunos ejemplos, hay un estilo para cada una. Y ya os lo digo, me compré unas que ya os enseñaré y ¡son super cómodas!
