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

My fiancé, Mr. Prince Charming, I mean, Michael

This is Prince Michael, my friend Genie's cat. And my future husband. And he's such a fatty ♥
Sad thing is that I may be allergic to him (and to his half-brother Sgt. Peppers, which has not been featured here yet, but will soon).

Is anyone out there with this not-being-able-to-be-near-cats curse too? Any tips to offer? I don't get a lot of red marks or have any difficulties breathing, so I don't think I have a very strong allergy.

Btw, remember to drop by my Society6 shop!

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

Make-up hand-me-downs

It seems like my mum has been reading my mind lately.
First I noticed my blush (the one on the right, Maybeline) was starting to run out, on the same day, she gave me hers (the one on the left, Bobbi Brown) without me saying anything.
For which I'm really glad, since I'm in love with Bobbi Brown's pale pink blush! (I used to secretly borrow it from her, now there's no need for that!)

A few days later I started to notice how my brown eye pencil was getting smaller and smaller.
Then my mum suddenly took out all the make-up she was not using anymore and gave it to me. And one of the little treasures was this brown Lancôme pencil.
Which is really nice and lasts longer than the Elisabeth Arden I was currently using (which my mum gave for my birthday last year).

So yeah, my mum's the make-up gurú at home! haha

I'm really curious, who's your personal make-up "gurú"? Or the person/people/site you turn to when facing make-up dilemmas?

You know spring is here when...

You know spring is here when you buy light clothes and don't feel bad about it. (And your mom approves <3)

I love winter, but I'm a more summer-minded person when it comes to clothes, even if it's -0ºC and I only own a couple of jumpers, a couple of long-sleeve (light) shirts and one pair of long trousers, I still buy t-shirts and summer clothes.

It's something I can't fight against!

So, when do you feel spring has arrived?

HURTS live in Barcelona pic spam and biased report.

This past February the band Hurts came to play here in Barcelona. And since I fell in love with their music instantanely the first time I listened to them, I flew to get my ticket so I could go.
You should listen to them if you haven't yet, btw. They really are something.
Here's a Spotify link for example.
I took there my Eos (digital) and my Diana F+. I still need to take the roll to develop, so you'll have to do with the digital photos (which sure came out better anyways haha)

Jacket from Humör
T-shirt from MEG's Best Flight Terminal A
Skirt from H&M
Trainers from Irregular Choice
Bag from Irregular choice
Camera Diana F+ from Lomography

I wish my hair was pink as in the drawing... unfortunately it's not... (someday, you just wait)

I took like, 100.000.000 pictures, which makes me think I should let go of the shutter button from time to time...

I get so excited taking pictures, but then I forget I have to sort them all once I get home. And that's such a pain in the ass with so many pics!

But they looked so amazing and cool on stage I just couldn't help taking a thousand pictures! (even if they all look almost the same D:)

(Btw, and jokes aside, total count: 727 pics, and only about 60 of them made it to the final edit!)

This was my first time seeing them live, and I've gotta say they completely captivated me. Made me fall in love even more with their music, which I thought couldn't happen.

I loved how Theo "commaned" us while he was singing. It looked like we were his orchestra.
They're so charismathic on stage.

Anyways, I tried to edit as less as possible the pics, since the light was so nice. I picked the prettiest ones for you all, so just lay back and enjoy!










There's only a few of them here, so if you want to see them all (you should!) you can do it over at my new Flickr account c:

If you happen to like them, don't hesitate to go to one of their lives if you have the chance. If you don't know about them, don't hesitate a single second and go listen to them.
(Unfortunately) they've only released one album so far, but it's so powerful you'll have enough listening to it in loop for a while.

Coordinate catch up #5

How long has it been since my last post? I don't even want to check... But the good news are that I'm not getting that tired anymore after work, I'm getting so used to it I don't fall sleep right after getting home anymore! haha
And what does that mean? More posts coming up in less time! I hope you're all waiting for them! (I know Bianca does ♥ ;D)

Anyways, here are some "recent" coordinates. You can see the dates on the drawings, so you'll see there are no coordinates from this year. That will be left for later.


Last year coordinate. Tehee. These three coordinates are work coordinates. I don't really do much besides going to work, so all I can draw lately are work coordinates. I don't dress much different from my free-time coords, but still.

Listen flavor top, H&M skirt, black tights and Blanco ballerinas. Ballerinas that are getting broken from using them so much ;_; and I can't buy them again anymore... Does anyone know where can I get something similar to these? I don't care if it's an online store. Help pretty please!♥


Another pair of boots that are dead. They definetely broke the other day while going to a friend's house for dinner. Luckyly we only went to his house, then back to mine, so not much walking needed, but still.


Ooops, a couple coordinates from October! I should have posted them long before, but I misplaced them and only got to scan them recently.
This was my first day of class, and it was so cool! I'm learning how to create fabric patterns, and I'm learning lots!

October 6th I realized I never draw any earphones or mp3 with my coordinates, even if I wear them ALL the time when I'm outside.
That was also an interview day, for I job I kinda got (months later) when I already found my actual job.
(And yup, October was still a hot month here).

I think I really should start coloring my coordinates, color is an important part of every coordinate!

Cross-proccessing @lomography

Have you ever heard of Lomography?
Lomography is this magical place for all the analog lovers, where they can find their ideal film, a new camera love or even more people that love analog photography as much as them.
And I do love analog photgraphy to death.

Recently I attended one of Lomography's workshops in Barcelona where they explained how the cross-processing works. Which is pretty cool actually.
And of course, we took some pictures.

I used a Diana F+ and a Diana mini, that were lent to us by the Lomo shop.
First, our "teacher" explained some basic concepts of analog photography, and then, arround 5-6 we took the streets and started to fill the streets of Barcelona with snapping sounds. It was already so dark by then! D: But that let us experiment a lot with the flash lights, and that was really cool.

Isn't the Diana F+ super cute??

I'm not going to start explaining complicated stuff, since the guys at the Lomo page already did (and in a very easy and understandable way), so I'm just going to post some of the pics I took and shut up until the next post.

Hi there!




This makes it look like I always wear the same clothes! haha



Barcelona really is a great place for photography.

The previous pictures were taken with the Diana F+, the following were taken with the Diana mini.

Phew, long post was long. I hope you enjoyed them at least!
