Tuesday was the most surreal day I've ever lived. I met Shakira in the morning and I saw the 100% of the spanish celebrity system in the night.
YoDona had organized a mega party + dinner in a beautiful country-esque house in Madrid. The reason: the International Awards that Malalai Joya and Benedetta Tagliabue were receiving. YoDona is known for throwing memorable parties, but I didn't know they were that good! I wore a casual dress, and everyone was wearing gowns and long dresses... I should have worn my H&M Garden Collection dress! I thought I would have been overdressed if I had worn it, but not.
We arrived at 21:00. I was accompanied by El blog de Moda, Doublecloth, Maria from E-coolsystem, Yonomeaburro, Petitececile and La Condesa.. We had been invited by the fabulous Araceli. I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing. It was like: "Hey, that's Ana Locking! And Carlos Díez! And Rossy Palma! Oh, and there's David Delfin! AND STUART VEVERS!" There were around 400 guests, and all of them were celebrities, actors, actresses, politicians, editors, artists...
We shared our table with a photographer, tv producers, editors, and an actor. While we were having dinner, we talked about the benefits of having a blog and using Twitter (well, we, the bloggers, convinced them, they just listened and stared at us like we were the geekest people of the room). The room was so crowded, it was like a dream. Every person I saw on the tv and in the magazines was there.

El martes fue el día más surrealista que he vivido. Por la mañana conocí a Shakira y por la tarde vi al 100% del star system español.
YoDona había organizado una megafiesta+cena en un Casa Mónica, un sitio de fiestas muy bonito y de estilo campestre. La razón: la gala de los Premios Internacionales que iban a ser entregados a Malalai Joya y Benedetta Tagliabue. YoDona es conocida por hacer fiestas míticas, pero no sabía que eran tan espectaculares! Me puse un vestido bastante sencillo, y todo el mundo llevaba vestidos largos y súper elegantes... Si lo hubiera sabido, me habría puesto mi vestido de H&M de Garden Collection. Pensé que iría demasiado arreglada con ese vestido, pero no.
Llegamos a las 21:00. Iba acompañada por Mamen de El blog de Moda, Raquel de Doublecloth, Maria from E-coolsystem, Mariló de Yonomeaburro, Cecile de Petitececile and La Condesa. La genial Araceli nos había invitado. No podía creer lo que mis ojos veían. Fue como: "Mira, está Ana Locking! Y Carlos Díez! Y Rossy de Palma! Oh, y ése es David Delfín! Y STUART VEVERS! Había unos 400 invitados, y todos ellos eran celebrities, actores, actrices, políticos, deportistas, editores, artistas...
En la cena compartimos mesa con un fotógrafo, productores de televisión, editores, y un actor. Mientras cenábamos hablamos de los beneficios de tener un blog y de usar Twitter (bueno, fuimos nosotros los que les convencíamos a ellos, mientras nos miraban como si fuéramos los más frikis de la sala). La sala estaba a rebosar, era como un sueño. Todas las personas que veía en la televisión y en las revistas estaban allí.
The dinner:
Best dressed: Mayte de la Iglesia

Shakira's new fragrance
On the same day, I attended the presentation of Shakira's new (and first) fragrance: S by Shakira. The event was held in a beautiful building in the centre of Madrid. Shakira was one of my favourite singers when I was a kid, and I think that she's a really kind and nice person. She is indeed, even if everybody was pushing her to get a photo and an autograph, she smiled all the time. She had had her make-up done by the great Beatriz Matallana, make-up artist of Madrid Fashion Week.

The rooms of the building had been decorated accordingly to the different scents that composed the fragrance: jasmine, sandalwood and ambar mixed with vanilla.

En el mismo día, asistí a la presentación del nuevo (y primer) perfume: S by Shakira. El evento tuvo lugar en un bonito edificio antiguo del centro de Madrid. Shakira era una de mis cantantes favoritas cuando era pequeña, y sigo pensando que es una persona muy amable y simpática. Lo pude comprobar. Aunque todo el mundo la agobiaba pidiéndole autógrafos y fotos, sonreía todo el tiempo. Había sido maquillada por la genial Beatriz Matallana, maquilladora de Cibeles.
Las habitaciones del edificio estaban decoradas según los tres aromas que componen el perfume: jazmín, madera de sándalo, y ambar mezclado con vainilla. Fue asombroso.
