Cursis melodías cantaré toda la semana para tí.



(denim shirt - Pull&Bear / dress - Zara / gladiator sandals - local store in Guanajuato, Mex. / rings - local market)

I've been obsessed with a song called "Cursis Melodías" (it would translate to "Corny Melodies" or something like that), by Mexican songstress Natalia Lafourcade. I didn't use to hear that much music done by Mexican or Latin artists, because what you can hear on the mainstream over here (radio, music channels and such) is either what I consider very stupid pop, lame rock, or things that are more on the side of Mexican north's traditional music (which by the way I do not enjoy). But since I heard that song in particular my faith in national and Latin musicians has grown a big deal, and I've started to hear more and more music in my mother language. Fact that strangely makes me happy LOL. Also, the video of Cursis Melodias is so pretty, and so fashion-wise inspiring to me, that I want to share it with you: Cursis Melodías music video. I love the styling in this, so vintage and girly, with her flowy dresses, granny-esque cardigan and shoes, flowers in her hair and color thights.

(If you do watched it, and want to know what the heck is she singing about (in case you don't know Spanish) just ask for a translation and I would gladly do it.)

Pink sherbert popsicle lips.


( shoes and dress - Zara )

Yup, that's pretty much all I wore to my birthday party. Just a pair of pretty high heels, and a body-con dress with puffy 80's-ish shoulders. Which all my friends referred as a Lady Gaga-ish dress, but I just didn't get it, it isn't extravagant enough... I think (my makeup on the other hand was inspired by Gaga, I just toned it a little bit down by not doing the super big eyebrows). Then again, my fashion sense tends to be too bold compared to what every one else wears around here. If you want my opinion, most people's style over here is mild, they all blend together, and well... I like standing out hahaha.

The sound of water makes her dream.


photos by me, Poli Green and Ricardo Tello.

Yes, this will be another random photos post. A hurricane hit my city last week and everything has been a mess so I haven't had the time to take some outfit pictures, but no worries, I've made the time to do that today so expect those photos in a few days. Now, on another topic, I would like to thank to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! I had a real good time actually. Some friends and I went to have dinner to a sushi restaurant and since it was my b-day my meal was complimentary, yay! What else could I ask for? Anyways, tomorrow will be the real party ;) and all of your advice have helped, really. Now I have a clearer idea of what to wear, thank you very very much!

It's fascinating to observe what the mirror does.

I skipped all my classes today to remember when I used to do that back in high school LOL. I've been so nostalgic about those years lately that I felt like reviving them just for today. It was nice to be so reckless again for a little while (: Wish I could go back to those days. Best years of my life for sure!

I've been obsessively watching The Hills this week. Since I stopped watching the show on season 3 or 4, I really don't know; I started to watch it all over again since season 1, in order to refresh my memory, and then I'll catch up. I'm already about to end season 2 LOL. Really, I've had forgotten how stylish The Hills' ladies were, and I'm happy I was remembered because now I have another source of inspiration. This is my first attempt at a The Hills inspired outfit, hit or miss?

By the way, check out my friend's César S. LookBook :) he's a very stylish dude. And also take a look at this stylish bus LOL.

Little out-takes of my life.



I'm sorry this isn't an outfit post, but I haven't had the time for taking some outfit photos. Even now I'm supposed to be doing homework, but here I am :) I wanted to make a post, but didn't want to do an inspiration post because those take me quite some time to do. Looking around editorial photos, another blogs, fashion sites, you know, all that. So I thought, why not share some random pictures I've taken about my random day-to-day? And here they are, I hope this is enough for now and I promise I'll make an outfit post this Friday or Saturday.

Update: the two baby hummingbirds that were in my backyard already flew from the nest :D Noticed yesterday.

It's been more than a week since last time I updated, I'm so sorry. I'm not making any excuses, but last Monday I went back to school and you know how that can be. Anyways I wanted to thank everyone that commented on my last post. I've never had that much comments and it made me very happy LOL also everyone were so sweet! Now I'm definitely going to pull out my old hot pink extensions again while I save up money for new light pink ones. On another matter, that's my take on the denim-on-denim trend. Isn't it funny how just last year wearing jeans with a denim jacket was considered tacky and now it's trendy?

Also, there's something I want to share with you...

Isn't that cute? I recently discovered there's a hummingbird's nest on the tree that's in my backyard. There are two little baby hummingbirds, behind the head of one you can see the beak of the other. I wish I could have got closer to the nest to take a photo were you could see both babies, but I didn't want to scare them anymore with my big a*s camera haha. Last year there was a nest but on the tree that's in the porch. I wonder if that could be considered of good luck or something.

Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up!


( dress - Bershka, sunglasses - no brand )

Those are from two years ago, back when I used to wear sunglasses the size of my face, curled my hair with a flat iron, and clipped on hot pink hair extensions. Kayleigh's last post on her blog Kayleighdoscope (visit her! she's a cool gal form the UK) about this summer's hair trend: dying some pieces of your hair in pretty sugary hues; sent me back on the nostalgia train. Now that I look again at these photos I think the extensions looked pretty cool, and I'm thinking of getting some new clips with pastel pink hair. What do you think? Should I or shouldn't I?
