Legs shouldn’t be any less important during autumn-winter. Quite the opposite in fact. Thanks to stockings, leggings, boots and shoes you’ll have the chance to make the most of them and show them off in style.

The good thing about wearing stockings is that they hide flaws, make your legs look slimmer and ensure you don’t show off more than you bargained for when wearing very short skirts or dresses.

Dark colours like black and brown are classics for winter. They’re great for slimming down your legs (the thicker the stockings or leggings the better) and they are so versatile and indispensable, that they’re a must for your wardrobe.

TV series are becoming more and more fashionable and some of us can’t actually live without them now. This “madness” means that some of us even have them all marked down on our calendars.

In general, series are increasingly good and innovative and there are so many that it makes it hard to choose from them. But this season there are some that are musts. Here you have a mixture of five classic and new TV series. Read more…

One of MANGO’s strong points, apart from the luxury collaborations it has season after season for its designs, are the celebrities who represent the brand’s image. And this successful formula isn’t something they’ve only just come up with.

When in Spain there were still no other internationally recognised high-street fashion stores, MANGO was already well-known abroad: it was the only Spanish company specialising in the design, manufacture and sale of fashion and accessories that had supermodels like Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Christy Turlington, Maja Latinovic, Inés Sastre, Karolina Kurkova or Milla Jovovich gracing the covers of their catalogues and their advertising campaigns.

Giving presents is always a pleasure. The uncertainty of whether you’re getting it right and seeing the recipient react with a smile when opening the present… that’s all added to the desire to please someone. When the gift is for someone you love the reaction is even more exciting.

Christmas is just round the corner, and here at THINK UP we would like to give you some fashion ideas to give to your boyfriend in the Christmas season. You’re bound to already know MANGO’s H.E. Homini Emerito men’s collection. I like it because of all the varied trends it proposes, which will fit many different men’s styles.

Plus, if your boyfriend doesn’t know H.E. yet, after giving him an item from this brand going shopping together will be an enjoyable experience for both of you.

Rock trend: fashion for this winter by Natalie Portman

natalie_portman_v_magazine_look_rock-2

The rock trend is the trend to follow this season. Daring, very sensual and masculine at the same time. Whereas the boyfriend style just dresses the woman in men’s clothes, this trend directly takes the male bravado of classic rock icons and applies it to women.

For a while now, celebs like Rihanna have been wearing rock hairstyles, although she does tend to prefer the punk style and mohawks a bit more. I, on the other hand, prefer the classiness and elegance of Natalie Portman, who has just shown us the best possible way to wear this trend. Read more…

Dress like a celebrity: use MANGO items to get the looks of Sienna Miller, Alexa Chung, Rihanna or Lauren Conrad

Apart from making an effort to have their own inimitable style everybody loves to “copy” the style of their favourite celebrities, either because they identify with their personality or simply find them more of an inspiration than catwalk models.

Labels aside, what you want is to get a look that is as close as possible to the styles that stick in your mind after flicking through magazines or reading your favourite blogs.

Are you willing to emulate the celebrity you consider most stylish with a little bit of help from MANGO?
