My day in fucking Photobooth

Hoy mi día ha sido aburrido y poco productivo. Y por poco quiero decir NADA. Así que me he hecho unas atractivas fotos con el Photobooth del Mac y he sido feliz.









Me aburro, no me juzguéis. 
Estoy releyendo Marina de Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
Y escuchando mucho Florence and The Machine (NO REALLY?)
Y viendo mucho Freaks and Geeks , la cual es una serie guay.
Y bueno, no haciendo absolutamente nada de lo que debería.
Pero da iguaaaaal.
Escuchad esta canción:

Pasad una maravillosa noche! <3

Home is where the heart is


You know I hate talking on telephones

Lately I've been feeling strange. Perhaps it's the fact I've been away from school for over a week and I'm just a little disconnected. I believe I've always been an artist at heart. I am no business woman, I do not believe I'm cunning or to have a sharp eye for getting ahead in the world. I seem to let the world carry me along with it. I've been less and less inspired by the fashion industry. I feel like I've nothing to do there, like I wouldn't fit in...

However, I have come to a conclusion. I need to find my own pace. I have to find my light, you could say. Right now I feel completely flustered and pressured and suddenly very scared for the future I may or may not have. But when the moment comes, and the light shines into my room really nicely, I feel quite happy and confident I've chosen the right way. But I also believe in the process of things, and the beauty in them, so I guess I'll just have to make mine really worthwhile so I can feel happy with myself. I don't know.

It's been good lately. I have been obsessing over a few things. Shall I show you my favorites? Let us proceed:
  • Sunlight between the clouds. 

View from my room. Taken with Instagram. 
  • Pink hair
  • White-Blonde hair
  • Zooey Deschanel
  • Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice
  • The Kooks. They remind me of another time in my life, when I was... younger? I feel so old saying that. But yes, I was younger. More innocent, perhaps, but not much more. It's strange how much can be remembered by a song. It's really fucking unreal. 

That is all, my long (un)necessary rant. My favorites of the week. My reflection on the most reflective moment of the day. Yup.
ALSO! Today was my sister's birthday. She's the most beautiful and most amazing human being on this entire universe. She is so wonderful. Happy 15, Marta! I love you.

Hoodies and tea.

Visual Representation of how I feel today. ^^

Hi. It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm possibly the least reliable person ever for these sort of things, I'll have my constant moments and then float away with no good reason. It's happened with the blog, but, alas, I am back! How have you been? How's 2012 been so far for you? For me, it's been quite nice, quite tranquil, a lot of time to think, and not enough time to be sad yet.

As a first notice, I had an interview done by the gorgeous, lovely, amazing Marina which you can see on her amazing blog. It was really interesting because I liked doing it quite a lot, it was a great opportunity to open myself up for the questions she posed, which are things that always roam my mind and it was good to deliver them concisely. Apart from that, this last week was Mercedes-Benz Madrid Fashion Week, and I was lucky enough to attend! I was only able to go once because I got sick, but it was a wonderful day, I'll expand on that soon enough, I promise.

Fashion-wise, there are news. I have acquired the best shoes to exist. Ever. And they were 20€ at H&M. Wonderful. Here, take a look at this really low-quality photo (I'm afraid I can't take a better one right now):

They're from the Trish Summerville for H&M collection based around the movie "The Dragon Tattoo" ('Los hombres que no amaban a las mujeres'). Thank God the collection wasn't too popular in Spain and these lovelies were half-price in such short notice. So happy. They're the MOST COMFORTABLE (comfortablest?) boots I've ever worn! 

I've also gone back to being interested in one of my favorite things as a young teen. Zip-up hoodies. They were my life. In my more emo-ish days, my black sweaters were my saviours. I had like 10 and I've been left with two, weirdly enough. My favorite one is a random one from Benetton and it's black and just super simple. I'll show you guys soon. Here are a bunch of photos depicting my re-discovered love for these staples. They're so comfy and casual and laid-back... so much what I need right now.
I like hoods. 






I like the idea of it being rainy and wearing hoods just to protect your head. They're so mysterious and versatile and lovely... In this awfully cold week we're getting here I'm going to wear hoodie sweaters like a mad woman.

Also, this happened to me yesterday, just like in 'New Girl', and I thought it was lovely. YOU MUST WATCH THIS SHOW IT IS AMAZING. 


And lastly, been obsessed with this song. It makes me want to drink tea on a porch and smoke and watch the sun rise and... yup. Wanna join me? I don't have a porch though, my balcony will have to do the trick. 


Lots of love xx C

Tomorrow

In the morning I always feel melancholic.
I have to give in a huge project on Thursday which I haven't really begun, and I don't really know where to. So instead I listen to Avril Lavigne's first album, which is one of my favorite albums of all time. I hold so many memories in every song, it's like travelling in time when I hear them. It makes me unmistakably sad to reminisce time when I was there, and so, so happy. It shouldn't hurt so much to remember the past, but it just seems like it was a different person's life, not mine. How could I have lived there and felt happy being away for so long, in touch with a completely different reality? It shocks me everyday how those five years I lived in Jerusalem affected me. At the same time I feel like I'm completely exaggerating and completely not. The amount of memories, or lack thereof, that I hold from there is painstaking, and affects me every single day of my life. And it's almost been four years. But I still hold it in my heart. Am I lost in the past?

Maths and Design

These are a few designs I've made for a class project based around different elements of mathematics, like addition, subtraction, balance, imbalance etc. I hope you like them! I've enjoyed doing them, they were kind of fun and interesting especially considering the fact that they were unusual concepts to work with, even though quite straight forward. Have a look!

Imbalance

Balance

Space

Gradation 

Gradation and superposition 

Subtraction

Rotation

Addition 

Superposition

Lots of love! xx C

Happy 2012!

Outfit del día de Reyes. Total loo H&M... as always, menos las botas!
Soy un desastre, pero con el estrés de las mil cosas que he tenido últimamente, y  lo de que cuando me estreso me bloqueo, llevo muchísimo sin actualizar aquí! Bueno, ¿qué tal el nuevo año? Yo estoy contenta y me siento muy optimista por este año, al mismo tiempo nerviosa por lo que conlleva terminar el primer año de la maravillosa carrera que estoy estudiando, que significa aprender miles de cosas que no me había planteado jamás, como mi futuro... y también en calma, porque el final de 2011 fue un momento en el que experimenté... Epifanías, por así decirlo. Quiero decir que ha ocurrido algo en los pasados meses que ha hecho que sea más feliz y más a gusto con la vida (parezco un anuncio de Nestlé jajaja) y por ello tengo grandes expectativas para este año. Pero, at the end of the day... ¿quién sabe?


Mi guapísima hermana Marta. Blusa y cinturón de Zara, shorts de Forever 21.

Once again, mi guapísima hermana.

Outfit de Nochevieja. Falda de Zara, camisa y T-shirt de H&M. Cinturón vintage. 


Martu.

Últimamente me he obsesionado con el dorado


Bueno, estas son algunas fotos de las Navidades. ¿Qué tal las vuestras? ¿Qué os han regalado? 
Ya terminé de pagar mi deuda del MacBook a mis padres así que dentro de poco tengo cosas que cuestan dinero que quiero hacer jajaja. Ya lo veo, al final me lo voy a gastar todo en salir y comprar chorradas pero NO! Este año quiero hacer muchas cosas, empezando por re-ver El Señor de los Anillos y empezar una especie de diario visual. Bueno, espero actualizar más a menudo el blog y os digo por adelantado que seguramente empiece a escribir en Inglés la mayor parte del tiempo, sorry!

PD: Soundtrack de estas Navidades: 'Shake it out' de Florence & The Machine y el cover de She & Him de la canción 'Baby, it's cold outside'
