Charlotte Collard interviews Barbara Martelo
If you don't know her yet, you have to know that Barbara is one of the most stylish lady! Usually running with your favorite Balmain jacket or jeans, the stylish woman is certainly more than aware about fashion and must haves! She wear them all and makes you want them all!
I have to say... Barbara is certainly a blogger's must have! And what I adore about her is that she doesn't taker herself too seriously. She is such a nice person and she will never make you feel uncomfortable. She is HUMAN and I think it is the most important.
CC: Barbara, tell us a bit more about your childhood, how did you grow up and what were your parents doing ?
BM: I was born in Madrid,when I was very young my familly moved to La Coruña in the North of Spain where I went to School and when I became 18 I moved back to Madrid to study Law and I´ve lived there since then. My father is a plastic surgenon and my mother is a nurse
CC: Was fashion a destiny or you made it all came true? tell us how you got into the fashion world.
BM: I graduated in Law and started working in the Legal Department of Inditex(owners of Zara)but really it was through a series of coincidences that I ended up working in fashion which had always been MY hobby. My first job was as a fashion editor at Telva magazine.At the time,the most popular fashion publication in Spain.Although it didn´t represent my view,it did give me the opportunity to enter in the fashion world and the most important to attend to the fashion shows. After 6 years I joined Spanish Vogue and three years latter(after I gave birth to my twins)I became freelance. Now I work for Spanish Vogue,El Pais and the best multibrand store in Madrid called Ekseption.

Balmain Spring/Summer 2010 items
The leather version of this biker jacket from Balmain may be too expensive for some people, even for me. So Christophe came up with the cotton version. The design and everything is the same except that it is cotton. Price - €1257
I guess there are many people like me who adore this pair of jeans but find it too expensive. What i really like about this pair of jeans is the ribbed area above the knee, i bet you like it too. If the price is right for you, go get it now. Not many sizes are left. Price - €780
These t-shirts are basically replicated from the women's collection so that the men can get them. Price - €141
Here are pictures of Emmanuelle Alt showing you how she flaunts her Balmain

Lad Musician boots
If you like Doc Martens boots but find it too bulky, this pair may just be another option. Similar thick rubber soles with multiple eyelets. A zip at the back save the hassle of loosening the laces each time you remove the boots. Priced at about US$480, not that cheap afterall but the leather should be soft and good.
