Bartabac is one of the best-known members of the Spanish blogosphere. Her real name is Silvia and she’s one of Spain’s most successful bloggers.

Every so often she brings you several street looks well worth noting, so that you can apply them to your own personal style.

Bartabac is an elegant and modern urbanite, and here she explains her Think Up philosophy. Read more…

When we were small we wore nothing else: in the summer we’d call them cycling shorts and in the winter they’d be leggings. We had them in every colour of the rainbow and I’m sure that your favourites, just like mine, were fluorescent or floral ones. Once everyone grew up they were set aside and forgotten. But a couple of years ago designers and stores rescued them from oblivion, and the cotton and lycra items used only for going to the gym made a huge comeback and became known to everyone as leggings.

It was hard getting used to the idea, but we did eventually. We’ve all gone back to them after some complaining. Wearing something that feels almost like pyjamas on the streets is a guilty pleasure that’s hard to resist.

We’ve already said a lot about celebrities as possible new faces or designers for MANGO. But one of the groups we’re most interested in, halfway between celebrities and normal girls like you and me, are bloggers: a new generation of fashion lovers who have made their voices heard on the internet and have become improvised icons from their (no longer quite so) humble style diaries.

They are all over the world. Some are internationally famous and others are local muses, but they all have the same approach: teaching what they wear.

Would you like any of them to collaborate with us? And if so, who’s your favourite blogger?

The idea that you have to bankrupt yourself when buying clothes for special occasions is now a thing of the past. This season, eveningwear can also be used during the day and the looks we use for celebrating are increasingly versatile, which means you can’t use expense as an excuse not to dress up.

Thanks to MANGO Think Up, you can create exclusive looks for under 100 euros. All you have to do is get a hold of the key items we suggest in our catalogue, and alternate them.

One of the greatest problems when investing in clothes is that most women are conditioned by the “work uniform”, the part of your wardrobe which contains outfits reserved exclusively for work. These are usually suits, which is what almost all of us are obliged to wear on a daily basis.

As this is our priority, it makes sense to try and combine clothes for work with casual wear, so as to be able to use both types of garment regardless. So it’s time to take an overall view and stop making quite as many distinctions.

If you have no choice but to wear a trouser suit to the office, and to make matters worse you hate it, make the most of the blazer fever and don’t just stick to boring designs. You don’t need to wear the complete suit if you’re going to limit yourself to a dull classic style. Match blazers with a more avant-garde cut, for instance a tuxedo jacket with double rows of buttons, with baggy or cargo trousers. The effect is elegant and perfect, plus, you can also use the clothes separately for any other occasion.

Many of you won’t know their names, but you’re sure to know their faces. These girls, who can be found at all the parties for Fashion Weeks, are true trendsetters and are all modelling for MANGO. For the past few weeks they have been spotted both on and off international catwalks, proving that they are highly popular in their own right: they are the it girls we all want to be.

These new muses of street style never stop. Leigh Lezark has been spotted in New York surrounded by friends and getting plenty of attention thanks to her look. This DJ cum fashion icon never stops, you’re just as likely to see her at a film premiere as backstage at a fashion show.
