There are many places, people and things I look to for fashion inspiration—from the runway shows to window displays, brand campaigns and of course the fashion set on Instagram.

If there’s one color, stylish Spanish women love to style with their light-wash jeans this season it’s a pretty shade of pale pink. Try a light pink satin jacket or button-down with your denim, and if you want to take it one step further, complete the look with a pop of green.
