Stylish Ladies

Love the way these girls style their selves, they can be classic and sometimes a little risky too.

Besos!

Ingenius Apt.

I couldn't believe my eyes as I watch this video. How cool is this 'transformer' apartment? You need some serious creativity and practical sense to come up with something like this.



I feel bad for complaining about my 460 square feet apt.

DIM (Did It Myself) Light Fixture

I’m getting into the DIY frenzy lately. I’ve done some small things before, like painting our bedroom table lamps green (they were black ceramic), or repainting photo frames, but this was my first ‘major’ project. When we moved together, Nico bought our bed cover and I must admit I was actually pretty afraid of what he’d come home with while he was out shopping, but the moment I saw it, I loved it: it’s the perfect mix of apple and olive green, right in the middle (I’m sure there’s a name for that color, I just don’t know it). So we decided our bedroom would have different shades of green and beige. We needed a light fixture, so I bought an apple green paper lantern, but I didn’t realize that the whole room would be green whenever we turned on the light (duh!) until I finally did it. S H O C K. Anyways, we quickly got used to seeing each other like sleepy Hulks every morning.

  

Finally, the other day I said it was enough and decided to do a makeover to our good ‘ol lantern. I bought two sheets of silk paper (at least that’s how we call it here, a super thin transparent paper), got glue, a pencil, scissors and a jar lid and started drawing and cutting paper circles (they seemed like a thousand!). Nico looked at me like I was totally insane and said: “Babe, we could just buy a white lantern, you know…” but instead I offered him to give my project a try, and if it turned out to be a mess then we would get a new one.

  

 BUT when I finished it we both loved it and hanged it right away. I love the fact that you can still see the green peeking underneath the white circles, and the shades, and I’m oh so happy that I just turn the light on to see it shine. 

I’ve always said that it’s so rewarding to see something you did yourself finished, even if it’s a simply knitted scarf. And it makes you want to do a thousand other things.

Hope you like my creation! Besos!

Nature

Yep, I like taking pictures of nature in detail, even though I have this camera. Oh well, one day i'll get a better one and take a photography course.

Besos!

Coachella

Last night I was dreaming of Coachella, and hanging out in Polyvore, so I thought I could put together some outfits I'd wear if I could actually go to the concerts. It was just a dream (maybe it was too late at night), because: a) I can't fly over 10.000 kms to a music festival, and b) I can't afford the Marc Jacobs dress, or the Tom Ford sunglasses, or the Mulberry shorts... yet... :P

After taking a look at the program of the shows I decided that if anyone would make me choose just one day to go to Coachella, it would be Saturday. Mumford & Sons, Erykah Badu, Gogol Bordello and Bomba Estereo all playing the same day in the same stage??? Yes, please! I know it's an eclectic mix, but that's the way I am. I think life is too diverse and awesome to be stuck in one style of anything: music, clothes, etc. 

Enough Philosophy for today my friends, hope you have a great weekend. Below are a video from Mumford & Sons and the Polyvore sets I told you about.

Besos!
