The road trip, Time off , Great Food, Good company and The relaxing time are only a few things that can describe my Holiday break. I totally forgot to take a camera but my new iphone always saves the day!
This house is my favorite spot on earth.
the christmas lights in that town were amazing!
jack was very patient on the road trip, he just fell asleep
the first gift i received was my wooden Breakfast at tifanny's wall art!
that was only the start of my christmas wishes starting to become true!
the Beatles collectors glass cups for my apartment !
my Urban Outfitters pick of the month you can imagine how thrilled i was
Hello kitty Build a bear ! With anniversary Dress because my boyfriend knows i will NEVER grow up :)
Some more wall art for my apartment from Audrey cuz i cant get enough of her lately.
Last but not least a cover for my iphone! yeah i was as shocked! this is like my dream phone case!!
Well it was great to be home and come back to find all this waitting for me at my apartment. I can now officially say my boyfriend spoils me too much!
Hope santa brought you all everything you wished for along with health and tons of happiness! :D
Every time i get some time off i like to have quiet time to myself, listen to loud music with my headphones and read.
Things that sadly i DONT do often.
While i was having my quiet time i reflected on why i am so bothered with current situations and i tried to figure out why i have slowly lost so much interest in making my own crafts, lost drive to even work on my monthly booth.
The main reason why i have lost the drive is due to the lack of appreciation of art in this city.
I love to see talent unfolding in front of my eyes. I am so hungry for creativity taking effect on people. I would love to see TRUE talent get the recognition it deserves.
Yesterday i was talking with one of my good friends and he mentioned his sister like he usually does. Its no surprise he admires her and her work so much because today as i was looking through some blogs i stumbled upon her own.
For those who don't know this are hand made headbands by www.ilovefactorybk.com who have now made it into popular magazines and Tv shows like gossip girl and Teen Vogue.
Laurel St. Romain a girl raised in the valley with a great talent has been able to make it far. Currently in NYC has managed to make heads turn all over the country with her unique hand made goods.
Now this is something to admire, today with all my lack of drive to pursue a dream i stumble upon a dream come true!
Teen Vogue
* mean girls wearing I Love Factory Headbands !
This is truly a great inspiration for me and specially today it made so much sense.
With hard work, perseverance and holding on to a dream, amazing things can happen. You really can get ANYWHERE you want to be.
as i was reading my monthly online magazine i found some awesome facts about one of the greatest horror movie producers in mexico for some reason i have always been fascinated by Cine Mexicano in every way, comedy, horror etc im not a big fan of horror films but there is always something about old horror films that attracts me and i've noticed that is the art. The old horror movies are more artistic and more ingenious than just new horror movies. Everything gets worst in our modern movies everyday. There's no suspense only horrible scenes i think that is why reading about Rafael Baledon just made me realize that is not that im terrified of horror movies is just that i'm terrified of how much blood and pointless torture i will see and less story and suspense.
i actually saw this movie @ hollywood video if you wanna rent it go for ittt
It's waaaaaay too late to be this locked inside ourselves The trouble is that you're in love with someone else It should be me. Oh, it should be me Your sacred parts, your getaways You come along on summer days Tenderly, tastefully
And so may, we make time Try to find somebody else This place is mine
You said today, you know exactly how I feel I have my doubts little girl I'm in love with something real It could be me, that's changing
With an hr left to waste.. i rather make it memorable and fill it with words since i havent done that in a while.
today a lot of things bother me.
the lack of passion in peoples eyes. The aimless effort of some and the continuous comfort lines we all throw around to survive.
i just heard something very powerful from my favorite person in the world. my mom " The fortune you make or the amount of money you can put your hands on, will always come and go. But the skills you learn every day, the life experiences you collect and the knowledge you carry within you is what will give you the true riches in life because without them even the wealthiest person would lose it all"
Therefore, why stop at one skill? why stop at one career? one job? why live in a straight line?
im not gonna lie, being predictable is safe you will never fail but without failure you will never learn to try harder.
Tonight i get this thoughts just from ridiculously pushing myself to the edge emotionally. what i want , what i need or what i desire doesnt even matter if i fail at trying. If one fails at living then what else is there?
So tonight i will go back to basics if i must. Because really like marilyn monroe said " im not interested in money, i just want to be something wonderful"
and that's all i want, wherever that dream takes me is where i need to be.
i cant say much... life changes everyday all the time, its weird how sometimes we dont notice it we live our lives in the past and the future never in the present. even as i write this i am already thinking about the future outcome..anyways
cant wait to see this movie
oh and i have a new application and a new way to spend my precious time..i was very against tweeting ,,,,but now i am part of it and all my friends too haha
so i came home for easter since i was basically home alone i decided to spend easter in mexico and go to bookstores and places that until this day did not know existed.
i found the Nylon magazine Mexico for this month, i had not bought the previous issues because i had not been able to find them, but while i was with my mother looking for books i found a magazine section and there it was...
i read most of the sections and learned a lot about the mexican artists and designers that i had not paid attention to.
one of them is Alejandra Quesada, i had seen her work before because one of my favorite singers usually wears her clothes ...now she surprised me with this fashion show...its just little girls dream!
i also read about this twin girls from Guadalajara Mexico i loved loved loved the collection and here's a bit of what they have done
i was seriously very proud of all the mexican designers and how they all try to add a bit of the culture to what they do.
Now i cant wait to go to Monterrey and check out some stores i found online and in my next trip to guadalajara this june i will definitely stop by another couple of stores!
anyway i think this is worth sharing i am mexico ....are you not?
The weekend started with an envelope i got from the contest that in case you didn't know ..i won (forever ago) and barely got my prize...
to tell you the truth i was expecting tickets or something indescribable...however what i got was way more than i could have asked for!
i got the new album from JUAN SON he is the ex vocalist of the band PORTER that didn't stick around for long but none the less..one of my favorite Mexican bands. Now Juan Carlos or JUAN SON decided to go solo and I was really looking forward to get this album and it was so amazing to get it on the mail and signed by him :)
To me.. one of the best young artist in the "indie" scene in Mexico,extremely creative and has great lyrics. he always directs his own videos aswell which makes him double talented!
for those of you who dont know who im talking about this is the new music video of the new album Mermaid Sashimi that i HIGHLY recommend.
I spent most of my weekend talking about nonsense with my mother, i indeed drank a lot of tea and had some quality time with old friends.
This past Thursday night was by far the most amazing nights I've had this year I was expecting this show for a while because this two bands happen to be two of my favorites ever....
I decided to make a cake for them and they all enjoyed it much..i thought it looked kinda crappy but i made it all myself! well thanks to leois i got the right shade of black for the icing!
i also decided to make some goodie bags for ale and rebecca from Ra Ra Riot and they loved the headbands i made for them... they even decided to wear them for the show.
for whomever doesnt know what they missed out on here's a song my favorite song of the entire album!
Rebbecca wearing the black flower headband Rebbecca
alexandra wearing the handmade flower headband!
they are some amazing people , they were truly thankful and so was i to have gotten to meet them and they were glad to offer their support ! besides being great musicians they are the sweetest girls ever seriously!!
all of this available at love, accessories
www.myspace.com/loveaccessories
They definitely made my week, my month and my year!
they were very sweet to me and to dedicate this vinyl to me that rosie got me and to gift me some of their merch...
i was not expecting all this greatness!!
i MUST thank Patrick, Mr.Goodbar and Mark for making it all happen for me!!!
i love love you guys!!
oh and last but not least my new friend Bobby for taking this amazing pictures for me.
I left behind that place where i fell in an out of a feeling a place where i missed you, where i hugged you the four walls that saw me trying to replace you also where i decided to forget you.
Ive built a sanctuary where i can rest my thoughts ive rest them so well that i dont remember your name.
I'm stupid I'm staying And if Cupid's got a gun, then he's shootin' lights black Heads bang You're my drug We live it You're drunk, you need it Real love, I'll give it So we're bound to linger on We drink the fatal drop Then love until we bleed Then fall apart in parts You wasted your times On my heart You've burned And if bridges gotta fall, then you'll fall, too Doors slam Lights black You're gone Come back Stay gone Stay clean I need you to need me So we're bound to linger on We drink the fatal drop Then love until we bleed Then fall apart in parts Now we're bound to linger on We drink the fatal drop Then love until we bleed Then fall apart in part
whoa! i cant really say i have a lot of interesting things to talk about ....but i kinda wanna share the little that i do wanna say. This week has been quite eventful so i was actually working hard on getting most of the things i need to get ready before i start school again. All this recent events in my life had definitely made an impact in the person that i am or want to become , its a matter of taking things either to make you better or worst; in my case....i choose for it to make me better. It all takes time and effort to recuperate it takes mind and soul to be back in place and im so willing to work hard for that.
Since i have been home..relaxed and with not much worries i have been able to browse the internet calmly hoping to bump into the right inspiration and i did... I have found videos, pictures,music....and here they are :
one of the best songs from the soundtrack of that movie great song from beck.
Amelie...it will continue being one of the best movies in my world.So inspiring i love thiss.
this days ive been making stuff just at home...also i'm excited about the material i found to make more headbands (available at this upcoming art walk) i will upload some pictures later on.
today was so defining
i got an amazing proposal for work hint hint...
My friend soon to be a dietitian got me as her patient for her final project
we'll see what happens
fingers crossed.
i know this was all random..hence the name of this entry.
so i have come to realize people like what the can't have and it might not even be news to you either but lately i have experienced it .... it made me wonder why would anyone break someones heart to begin with? just to try and mend it? How often do we find ourselves giving second chances to people that would not give it to us, why do we believe in them?...or why do people feel they can come in and out of your life like if they deserved a place in it to begin with?...in the back of our minds we all have a bit of hope for everything. its a good lesson we will all learn in good time. What do you think? i think all this questions are often in our heads and either you or me can figure them out....but like i said..all in good time no?
anyway....
i did want to share with you guys what i have been listening to lately
santogold
i heard it and heard it from various people...now i have it in my computer great lyrics, good music ...check it out and lets dance!
Also another band i was surprised by not long ago even though they have been together since 2007 School of Seven Bells where Curtis from the secret machines(who i just found out my friend viana saw opening for Oasis in Monterrey) and this cute twins started touring with blonde redhead and finally released an album this past year which im into at the moment and you should check it out too.
last but not least...
awesome sale going on at Target i found this cute little black dresses for 8.99 and 10.99 its worth taking a quick trip to this store :)
trust me i am a bargain shopper if this wasn't a good sale..i wouldn't mention it!
so there you have it a piece of my mind, some of my thoughts and my most recent updates on music and clothes i hope this gives you enough things to keep yourself entertained and have an awesome week!
It all started with my late xmas gift from jenny and a cold Sunday afternoon.
