Hi everyone, I know I've taken a long irresponsable hiatus... but.. I've been thinking that this might be the last post in a looong time.

This is like goodbye. I might be using this blog again but not in the way I've been using it. It will be part of my portfolio but in the meantime it's officialy off.

I'm gonna be so busy this semester and maybe next to. I'm involved in some really amazing proyects and I need to focus on them.

I'm gonna keep posting on my TUMBLR cause it's easier to manage.

This weekend I did some shopping... so yay! it had been a lot since the last time I did some serious shopping, unfortunately I ran out of money before I could buy some accesories. I'm noticing I have a lot of necklaces and even thought I don't usually weat earrings I have a lot too, but what I don't have are bracelets. I might be buying some for now on.

So.. without money.. all I can do is some e-window shopping (which is becoming my favorite hobbie lately :P)

have you checked the new F21 blog? I've been waiting a lot for them to have a blog.. so good they have it now.

Hello there people, I'm sorry for being away this week. I've been so busy with school that I don't have time for anything, nor for me, for my friends, for sleep for anything!! you should look at my room, it's a mess. but I only have 2 weeks more to go and I'm done!

But anyways, I'm gonna try to post a little more often this week and replay to your comments, and a very big thank you for all of you who have been commenting!

I'm leaving you a peek of the reason I've been busy.

Ink on bristol paper

watercolor on bristol paper

the pieces were made on bristol paper over wood rectangles of 8.7 x 12cm for an exhibition of art in small format in my school (I'll post pics later).
the first series is named Geishas and the other one is named Mujeres, portraing some of the most important female historic figures such as Cleopatra, Eleonor of Aquitaine, Lucrecia Borgia, Queen Elizabeth and Marie Antoinette.

"I wanted to reinvent the mystique," said Karl Lagerfeld...

2009-05-15T16:04:00.000-07:00

...And he totally did. Lately I've been enjoying the Chanel resort collections more than the main collection. It seems like the idea of using different cities as an inspiration it's working perfectly. I really admire how designers can involve their designs with a certain atmosphere and create a new dressing reality.

Venice was the scenery and inspiration for this resort collection that was so full of historic references and magnificent as the city itself.

The dresses reflected all the historic highlight of the city such as the Dodge red, the renascence opulence and the baroque lace and I completely felt in love with the oriental/Edwardian dresses and the "Death in Venice" living picture and influences. The final touch was given by the 1920's glamorous make up and hair-do's.

The capes and tricorns fitted perfectly, the catwalk reminded of the famous Venice's carnivals and the sunglasses, transformed into masks gets you ready for a masquerade by the canal.

love is an attempt at penetrating another being, but it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.” -Octavio Paz

But really, all we want, and I speak for the entire human race here, is contact. Someone to let us know that we aren’t alone. That the world isn’t a dream and you and I really are happening at the same time, even if it’s not in the same place. That this is real. You’re really there. I’m really here. We’re real. This is real.

Cinco de Mayo

2009-05-05T20:49:00.000-07:00

The day is almost over, but the party is just beginning. Here is my outfit idea for Cinco de Mayo.

everything: Forever 21

And let me make an important statement:
People in Mexico DO NOT celebrate on May 5th. it's an historic day but it has little or non importance in our everyday life, it's more like a Chicano-party (Mexican-American). And contrarious to the popular idea of a mexican party we never use Maracas in our music, or drink margaritas and hang donk Piñatas all around and for god sake! stop saying "Olé" as a mexican phrase, it's a Spanish thing.

In the beggining, they were free...

Due to influenza Mexico has officially stopped any kind of activities, in order to prevent people to be in public places such as offices, schools, sport events, cinemas etc...

So I'm stuck at home for the entire week and I really have no idea of what to do, cause I'm done with school work (finally!). So I might be posting more often cause I haven't been able to do so in the last weeks.

Thanks a lot people!

it's a question of self Value

2009-04-12T01:04:00.000-07:00

There are people who deserve you and people who don’t. If you have someone in your life who takes you for granted or doesn’t give you the respect that you deserve, leave them in the past where they belong. Surround yourself with people who challenge your mind and bring out the best in you. As for the ones who only exist to bring you down or cheapen your potential; let them find people who are better-suited to their own qualities and principles.

Hold yourself to the highest standard possible. People who don’t measure up don’t deserve your time. People who can’t see past their own cowardice or their own arrogance don’t deserve your time. Anyone who doesn’t treat you the way you treat yourself doesn’t deserve your time. And if you are treating yourself in a way that gives people permission to take advantage of you, start showing yourself the exact same respect that you should be demanding of everyone else.

You’re really worth more than you give yourself credit for. It’s time that you start making sure people recognize that.

I love this.. and I felt like sharing. Please, take the time to read Mike's tumblr, he's the most inspirational person I've come across in rl or online.

The Polaroid Kidd

2009-03-28T15:39:00.000-07:00

and stop me.. couse I could keep going on forever... his work is amazing and so eyecatching!

Mike Brodie, AKA, "The Polaroid Kidd", is a self-trained American photographer legend in the makin.
Born in 1985 in Pensacola, Florida, Mike left home at the age of 18 to ride the rails across the Grand Ol' US of A. Fate stepped in when a friend gave Mike a Polaroid SX-70 and soon enough, Mike was stealing time-zero drug store film to document his exploits and feed his new found art addiction. Now shooting 35mm with a Nikon F-3, Mike has garnered serious art world attention with his glorious photography documenting the modern day Mark Twain characters that make up his rag tag ensemble of train-hopping pals.

Heyy there peoplee!
First of all I wanna thank you all to all those follow me somehow... and specially for those who comment. I fell really happy to know I can share pretty things with you (:

I don't think you could ever forget someone who made you smile

live for the moments that you can't put into words

sometimes, in life you have to
take chances. make mistakes, and
just do things you
know could possibly turn out horrible.
because if you don't you never
know what could have happened.

nothing is gonna be around forever
so live it up; drink it down; laugh it off;
& avoid all the stupid drama.
take chances & don't have regrets
cause at one point, you wanted it. <3.

Isn`t if funny how day-by-day
nothing changes, but then when
you look back, everything is different

You're only young once, so be bad, break the rules,
get caught… & make it count.

I don't understand what this show was all about, but isn't this magnificent??
according to a noriegan page, this was part of the International student festival (ISFiT) that takes place in Trondheim, Norway.

"ISFiT, which is a thematic student festival with an aim to gather students from all over the world, is arranged every second year."
