Cameras make me nervous

Life is sometimes weird. And a little bizarre. Like what happened last week. Which I won't be able to talk about until next month or so. Not that I want to sound or make myself appear as interesting and mysterious or anything. I just wanted an excuse to post this drawing (which is a memento of that day. A day that will be engraved for all of the eternity in a videorecording) without being too much gpoy.

Genie and a beautified me

I recently started drawing my outfits again, so "What I wore today" posts will resume soon. #hooray

Miu Miu Fall 2012 RTW

After skipping the spring's runway for Miu Miu, which I didn't much tbh, the fall collection caught my attention again.

Here are the 3 designs I liked the most:

I recently opened a Society6 account, so now you can buy this illustration as a print, iphone case or skin or as a postcard!

You can see the whole show in this Youtube video

Miumiu Fall 2011 RTW

This post was supposed to be posted more than half a year ago, but I never got around to do it.
And seeing as how I absolutely can not like Miu miu's Spring 2012 collection, except for the shoes and some of the purses, this is a nice reminder of the season that's ending.

These are some of my favorites from the collection.

That's what happened a couple of days ago

Illustrated cards.

Are any of you a fan of postcards? Or like to send them? Or receive them?

Pingg is a free online invitation, announcement, save-the-date and party guest list management (as says in the webpage) really useful that offers free invites for everyone to use.
You can send them by email or even get them printed! (but that, of course, is not for free, not expensive though!)

I already said here I opened a gallery on Pingg a few months ago (you can even find the link on the sidebar), but recently I added a few more designs.
Please, tell me what you think about them!

Christmas, love, animal themed cards.

And I'm planning on adding more Christmas and new-year themed as soon as I have a little free time.

You can even find a bit of photography between all the ilustration!

More cards on my Pingg gallery!

So, are you going to send any cards this Holidays?

Coordinate catch up #4

So, as promised, coordinate catch up is back this Friday!
I thought about posting one coordinate per day as I wear/draw them, but then I realized that would be even harder to do haha so I'll stick to the catch up.

I was meeting with a friend I made while in London. I wanted to take her to a café/tea/cake shop with super yummy cupcakes, but the shop was full of people (there isn't much space either), so we ended up in a random café.
Anyways, I was wearing my pink knit sweater my grandma made years ago, that is super cute btw. I'll have to make a post about all the pretty things I got at my grandma's last time I visited her♥

It was my cousin's birthday (he's 4yo already♥) so, Bershka stripe shirt+H&M patch pants+Blanco flats+Primark militar-ish jacket I got in Manchester last year♥

School outfit. And I wanted to wear my new shoes (Blanco+half price=pretty pumps for 13€) so since it was a short trip, I wore them to school.

Halloween special!

I dressed up as a "Kindergarten girl who killed her parents and now is traumatized because she realized there's no one left to wash her pretty clothes". Yup, long name, I know. But it was a last minute costume made out from 10-years-ago-costume.



Also, I've been thinking about cutting my hair. There's a strange curse going on that isn't letting my hair grow past my shoulders. Which will result in me not getting the Blue lagoon look I want *tear*.

So, since I'm a drastic solution person, I'll cut my hair. As short as I can (while still looking cute).
Now my hair's two toned (yup, in that trendy two-toned way, and that wasn't even on purpose!), but i don't want to dye it again, I want the healthies ever hair. So I'll be left with a brownish hair.

I'll use my camomille trick to lighten it. But I need the help of sun for that, and it couldn't be cloudier arround here... I'll have to wait a few months (at least until March) so I can use the camomille magic.

Cat wallpapers

Sorry for not posting much this week, but I haven't been feeling weel, and getting posts ready was too troublesome.

So, since I feel a bit bad about it, I'm bringing you some cute freebies as an apology: cat wallpapers!.
Also, I'll try to get the coordinate catch up ready for tomorrow (haven't been dressing up too much this past few weeks, so not posting coordinates for so long won't make a difference though).

You can read more about the cats here (thus the watermark)

You can find four different sizes: 1280x800, 1280x1024, 1024x768 and 1366x768 (Moko moko's visitor's more popular screen sizes haha)
Download the wallpapers here

I also made one blue and one pink cat available as a card on Pingg, and you can send them for free from here.

Hope you enjoy these, and tell me what you think about them!

Halloween party!

Here in Spain, we use Halloween as an excuse to party, since kids here really don't do the trick or treat tour.
But what we celebrate here in Catalunya is the "castanyada". With chestnuts and sweet potatoes (and I'm going to go eat some as soon as I'm done with this).

So I'm going to celebrate both, castanyada with my family, and as soon as I'm done, Halloween with my friends and the nightlife of Barcelona! haha


And this is my poor excuse for a costume. Remake of a costume from 10 years ago... let's hope it's dry by the time I go out.

So, what are you doing for halloween? Do you even celebrate it? Show me your costume!

You think this post is a Deja-vú? Nope, I already posted it here.

Miu miu SS 2011 - Ready to wear show

I've been meaning to post this since the Miu miu spring 2011 show a few weeks ago, but drawing and editing takes its time and I didn't finish this until yesterday! And I'm glad it took that much time, because my view on the collection changed a bit since I first saw it. So here are my thoughts on it.

I'm not completely in love with it, but I like it more since the first time.
Yes, the jackets are still awkward and the dresses don't look flattering even in small bodies, but now that I'm used to the collection, everything looks more pretty now.
And the shoes aren't that bad.

Four of my favorite looks from the collection. I really liked the third coordinate, including the shoes. Specially the neck of the shirt.
What I didn't like very much were most of the skirts. Too straight and didn't move with the model's body (not all of the skirts did that, luckily).

One thing that stood out while watching the show was how similar are some motifs to Irregular Choice's designs, mainly the stars.

The bags remind me greatly of Victor Horta/Hector Guimard's Modernism. Not all of them, there are some horrible bags thrown into the collection, but a few of them do.

This is not one of the ugly bags, for example.

Also, the loved-by-everyone swam dress and the snake dress remind me of Aubrey Beardsley's drawings. Yup, as I was saying, hello modernism (flowers everywhere too).

Third look, a skirt that looked good, and one of my favorites. Jacked included.
I'd really like to see someone on the streets wearing one of those awkward jackets. They are pretty but the shape is too weird. Like if the person wearing it was an american football player.

Some of the dresses made the models look like they were wearing plastic bags, not very flattering. On the other side, dresses like the swam ones were loose, which looked good.

What I love from the dresses is how, by using the belt, it makes the body shape stand out, and actually showing some shape, even if the models are so thin they have almost no curves. But I think that is a nice contrast. Straight forms are nice, but a bit of shape is pretty too.

Shoes on a close note.
But I'm in love with the shoes, I ought to confess. The color choice may not be the best at times, but putting that aside, I've come to like them a lot. In fact, shoes were the first thing I came to like from this collection.

Again, something that could came from an Irregular Choice shop, but that's something I don't really mind at all (any other IC fan out there?)

Ok, I have to admit defeat. After drawing them, and having to stare at them for a long while, I can say I love them.
Find them all here.

Clutches, are you sure they are?

If you look at how models hold the bags, you think they're clutches, don't you?
I like them, a lot. I went from "ergh!" to "I want this and this and this. And I don't like this color but I want it too". But maybe they're too big to just hold them all the time.
Even more if you're like me, whose purse gets full even when going out for a couple of minutes.

Seeing how long the straps are, you might even be able to hand them on your shoulder? That would be great.

All the bags from the show here.

And following, the video for the whole show.
The lightning is not the best, and maybe the whole ambience is a bit depressing, but anyways, it's worth watching it.



All the models were walking so awkward... nothing strange seeing how tall the heels were, but still, it looked weird. Distracted me at times.
Loved the make up, though. Nothing complex, but stunning. Cute.


You know those times when you dress, not thinking about how others see you, instead you dress up just for yourself, thinking about that movie you saw last weekend that you liked so much and that left a big impression on you, and then you go to a party dressed like that not giving a shit about the world? Well, that's the impression this collection gives me.

Now, your thoughts on it?

You know autumn is here when...

your mom and your granny buy you sweet potatoes because they know how much you like them. Aww

So, what makes you feel that autum has come?

London coordinate catch up

It's Friday and that means coordinate catch up time!
Just, this time, it's London edition!
I know I should have done this (two) months ago, but better late than never.

Aug. 26

Getting a plane at 11'30 and then arriving to London at 2am to a hostel room full of people you don't know, isn't the best welcome you'd wish, but I was in London, it was raining and I was happy! (despite spending 10pounds on a taxi since the underground was closed...)

Aug. 27

You can't see much of the outfit in the puri, but at least you can see the hair c: (which always cames out weird in my drawings D:)
Picnic+Hyde park+ASDA day! (Never said anything here, but since last year's trip to Manchester, I'm a super big ASDA fan).

Aug. 28

The dot tights I got in H&M before leaving, they're so cool! (but I don't know where they are now D: I put them in the washing basket and they're lost now XD).
I got two pair of tights, one had big dots, the other had smaller dots. Love love love them very much!
The shirt was a school project where we had to create a t-shirt design then print it on a t-shirt (or whatever kind of top piece of clothing you wanted). Mine was an ice-cream surrounded by space invaders.

Aug. 29

Big hair yay! But my hair's so thin, and the weather was so humid, and even using hairspray, after a few hours my hair was down again... But well, i was happy while it lasted!
Plus, got to wear the headband Mayuko gave me ♥ it's so pretty!

Aug. 30

I know you've seen this coordinate already, but I wore this twice, and since Mako was kind enought to do this drawing for me, I had to post it again ♥ I reeeally love it!
I wish I was as (natural) blonde as she drew me! haha
This was also the Notting hill carnival day! uh-hu! So I had to dress pretty c:

Sep. 1

Wore the same outfit the first and last day, this just means less hassle since it's just traveling day.
Got to go to Banglatown that day (the area is SO pretty!), and since my Reflex run out of batteries the day before I took my werlissa (well, my grandma's more-than-30-yo analogue werlissa) and a roll of film and took about 24 pictures arround there! hehe
So when I get the time to go and develop them myself (which I love) I'll post them here. Don't know when that will be though.
On the departing day I even got to see Scott Pilgrim vs the world! It's like, the second best movie this year (first, of course, was "A single man"), awesome!. I got introduced to the comics by a friend, and liked them very much, and the movie was true to the comic so lovex2!

Every coordinate ended up pretty much as my original intentions, just, I forgot to bring the black shirt I drew here, but well, my suitcase was full enough already and I did get some clothes during my trip too, so it was ok ahha

I also took some secret snapshots of people (shyness too much?), so expect a snapshot catch up post from London too.

Coordinate catch up #3

I've been leaving for later the coordinate drawing for so long, I forgot about most of them! D: bad me...
Anyways, here I bring another coordinate catch up! I hope you enjoy them as much as me drawing them!



This is like, one of the most important days of this year

The sweater is a retro-vintage-handmade one made by my granny more than twenty years ago. And it's so comfy and pretty!
I got a lot more clothes, so I'll be posting about them soon.

The skirt is my lacey skirt from H&M, nothing new. And the shoes are my lovely flower wedges from Blanco.
And leather bag from Misako, which I love.

This was a very important day, as I said, but I can't talk much about that yet, since there's nothing confirmed, but I'll probably start talking about that arround March c:







It's Ekus birthday party!

Remember my mori-like shirt from Mango? Wore it for the first time to a friend's bd party.
Blanco flowerly skirt plus Blanco flowerly wedge.
And a bag my mum got from a walking woman on the beach.


















It's been so long since I last saw you!

Meeting with a friend. Then went for cupcakes to have for breakfast! Ended up eating a cupcake and a (big) piece of cake! Yum!

Well, the playsuit, got it in London for £5! It's deep blue with white dots and anchor buttons and a big white ribbon on the side.
Love at first sight!

I can't find the damn place

I got a job interview last week. I hope I get it soon!

H&M dress from last year and H&M shirt with comic print.









I need a job... give me the job!

Starting the training. But that doesn't mean I got the job! D:
They said they'd call us whenever they needed more people, so I only can wait for now.

Bershka stripped Shirt (bd present from my aunt) and lace H&M skirt and leather Misako messenger bag and Blanco wedges.









Soon-to-be coordinate

This is actually a dream coordinate.
I only own the cardigan and the belt, but I (think) I found the pants at Zara's fall collection.
The rest are some cool "high waist" boots and a plain v-neck white tshirt.

And a tupé. Tupés are always the answer for everything.








Since i feel a bit bad for not posting coordinates for so long, I've made an ecchi bonus for you.
Room/sleep wear edition!



This is what I'm actually wearing right now c:
I love love love the top (so long that you can actually wear it as a dress). It's from H&M and made of cotton and it's dotted love.

My hair gets all curly when I don't brush/air dry it. But I think it looks cute, so most of the time I leave the house without even touching my hair ♥










Comfy bun, more-than-20-years-old Benetton T-shirt and pajama pants.
Comfy.

And I go arround the house in flip-flops most of the time.

















This is an embarassing secret, so don't tell anyone, but I actually sleep a bit naked on hot summer nights, or when I'm too lazy to look for my pajama (which happens to be all the time).
Yup.
