Stuck in Seattle Airport

Yes, that's right, I'm stuck in Seattle airport maybe for the rest of the night, I'm having a starbucks and listening to Aerosmith and both of them are like a little peace of heaven in the middle of a sucky situation: long long story...

I promise I'll tell you and I'll upload the whole trip on the next post. Well long story short, it was a school trip.

Thanks to my totally idiotic non prepared trip directors (notice that I'm being very careful with the world I'm saying), yes, we lost our flight back. Our departure was at one, and of course we were supposed to be here like one hour before that, but somehow, the people that had all of our come tickets (we hadn't seen them, and belived blindly in whatever the directors said), thought that if we got there 10 minutes earlier, we would have been fine.

Right now I'm stuck in in Seattle airport, I'm hungry, my feet are soar from walking all day long, and my head hurts, although writing about my problems has definetely helped.

It's a very complicated situation, you see, we were 14 people, and 7 of them did catch the flight cause they had the ticket confirmation or pin or something like that, so there are 7 post adolescents supossedly dependent on some school techers, alone in texas for the night (that's the place we were supossed to spend the night before hitting the road back home).
By the way, the other 6 people I'm with ... I had never seen or had a conversation with them before the trip, 2 of them teachers, and all of the others are male specimens, they make me laugh like hell but come on! I don't usually make friends that easily and that fast.

by the way I loved Seattle.

well, i'll talk to you later... I don't have much time cause this is not my computer =/.

Thank god I didn't spend all of my money buying clothes, cause right now I have enough to live for two days at the airport

Charlotte Casiraghi

The other day I was visiting the Fashion Spot, as I very commonly do when I generally find myself with some free time and lap top at my hands, and I found a threat about Charlotte Casiraghi, who is one of the people I look up to. For those of you who don’t know who she is, she’s princess of Monaco. I actually don’t consider myself a fan of royal families, beyond thinking that Harry and William are cute, but who doesn’t?

I think I started to interest in Charlotte’s life since I found out that she practiced my favorite sport some years ago, equestrian jumping, and that she actually wanted to become a professional (pretty cool, huh?), I later found out that she spoke 5 languages, studied literature and piano, and didn't crawl for attention of the media. I use to see her among the crowds and some other royals in Chanel fashion shows, and reading the posts in the Fashion spot, made me want to write about her. Basically, a lot of people say that she lost her fashion sence when she grew out of her teen years, and additionally she also lost some of her beauty.

wait.. what? Can you believe that while most of us were on our awkward stage (very awkward in my case), some people say that those years were the peak of her beauty?

From my point of view, I'm glad that she's trying out new things, and got tired of living and sleeping in couture. I've always loved the formal

gown in her, but hey she's just a girl like you and me, if she wants to wear jeans and flip flops, let her wear jeans and flip flops!,

I don't know why, but I get the impression, that she doesn't put her mind a lot into what she's wearing, sometimes she looks very average, sometimes she looks very edgy, sometimes she manages to look awkward, but most of the times, as I said before, dressed up she looks like effortless elegant and flawless, which is the thing I think made her capture the attention among some other royals, she became a criticizable fashion icon.

My theory is that before, (her being a public figure, and considering she was young) her style was a little more controlled?? maybe??, maybe by her mother, or whatever royal clothing aid she had; and now like most of us young people, likes to explore new styles.

These are some pics (first two) taken second half of last year, and some taken 5 years ago (last two), do you think she lost her je ne sais quoi? What I do have to criticize is that she's got that horrible posture, finally I understand my mother's frustration and why she's always bugging me about... Stand up straight!!

Bess collection autumn winter 2009

So before having a long day yesterday of going to school, dragging my parents to the red cross locations at 7 pm, and helping pack stuff that was sent to Haiti; I decided to take a rain check today, I was supposed to go to my music class in the morning, but instead I'm writing about combat boots (cause my friend, let's call her PC asked me to... btw those are her initials, not cause of my computer friend... since I have a Mac... bad joke).

She's had a pair of those since I met her in high school, and I've always liked them in her, but it wasn't until some time ago that I took my likeness to a higher level and started looking up some potential future prospects, in the pursuit of deciding if combat boots really go with me or is just another fierce hat that you like but wouldn't wear. SInce I've also been wanting to post some model street style here I go...

These are some I liked:

Dr. Martens

Abbey Lee Kershaw http://www.modelinia.com/slideshows/fashion--models-off-duty/117#/2 I don't know how to describe it... with the little black dress that it seems she has under that rope I think they would look super duper cool.

Well, They are a very edgy cool piece of wardrobe, they are amazing for winter, they are very comfortable and they look amazing. I see them and I can't help but hear Prince's YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A PRETTY GIRL LOOK SO TOUGH.

What do you think about combat boots? High, short, heels combat boots?

Livin' ThE Dream

I was reading my friend's blog and then I got inspired and wanted you guys to know my plans. In about 5 months, me and my bff, (since she said it first, sue me too!), are planning on moving to fabulous Spain... of course, like you would expect all the excitement and happiness is making my stomach ache.

In the other hand I'm scared like hEll, like she mentioned before in her blog, we have not been well trained by our dear parents to live on our own... there's a bunch of thing we gotta learn before arriving to the world that's expecting us, like how to wash our clothes, or make food, or clean up the bathroom, or move around the city using the subway.. =) y

es yes if there's a word to describe us... I don't wanna say it. In addition to that, I get scared of just picturing myself studying at 4:00 am, cause yes, school over there is wa

y harder, but then another picture comes and cleans up the mess, like me walking in a beautiful european street on a saturday afternoon, or go to the theater, or even read a book in a "cafe", and of course very very occasionally go out clubbing, partying, etc... ;) Luckily for us, at least here we are straight As students.

We've been getting together the past weeks to decide which part of Spain would be the most adequate (party, dorms, people, transportation) for us. And what about the University prestige for example? who cares?!, google "top ten universities in Spain". But wait.. don't think we are so irresponsible.. we actually found out that one in our list made the top ten.

If you have had any experience like this I'd like to know how you went through all this.

Visit my bff's blog, I promise she's way funnier than me.

During Boring class

Well.. in my free time I like to draw and when I started getting in to the fashion industry I used to draw some of the outfits that I saw on the runway.. But with time I started to get a little more creative ...

I can't say that I'm very proud of this.. specially the colors, I just draw whatever came to mind, and I was more worried about getting the main idea and didn't pay any attention to ANYTHING... It kinda reminds me the kindergarden drawings... haha... anyway... comment..

ANd this other one has a better story, or probably sadder, =/ a friend of mine who's an architecture student, had an assignment about alice in wonderland and she had to prepare some of the outfits, at that moment I thought that me studying business was so boring... and in my economy's class I draw this:

I liked this one a lot more than the last one. I hope next time I can impress you guys by doing an actual good sketch =)

Cowboy boots comeback?

Cowboy boots comeback??

Being a fan of country music, I can't forget that legendary country lynard skynard "sweet home alabama" song, or Glen Campbell "southern nights"? or even actual Tim McGraw, Leanne Rhymes, Faith Hill, and why not? Taylor Swift (even though every one knows that she doesn't really do country, but she tries to do the style). If you're a fan of rock & roll music you probably have noticed before that country music has influenced classic rock in the american history a lot, and the link between these two is definitely southern country/rock music, the one elvis used to play, transforming from time to time to Nirvana. Rock & roll has been a huge influence in the industry, inspiring amazing great designers to develop signature edgy items like the leather jacket or even classic jeans. So if rock has given us so much , and considering that the cowboy style has so much of a different, simple, all american angle to offer, it's no rare thing to see from time to time fashion daring to turn the down non-glamourous side of style and turning it upside down bringing it to the urban streets of new york, paris and london.

I was at the mall the other day and saw a bunch of cowboy boots in different modalities, from high up to the knee to really just like brown flats with the cowboy tip. I remember seeing the spring 2010 fashion shows back in September fashion week, and D&G was one of the brands that based almost its entire collection in a "southern edge", that's when I realized that the boots were on again, but didn't really know how long it would take for the news to settle. While looking at some of those pairs I remembered my own pair of boots that I got back in 2005, when I was on winter vacation in Italy. From that time I decided to wear them every now and then, but it wasn't until now that I see someone within one kilometer of radius wearing another pair of cowboy boots. Anyways, it is true that it was through the industry that I realized how cool and edgy cowboy boots were back when I was 15 in the first place, but I got kinda sad knowing that after four years of feeling so edgy while wearing them everyone will be wearing them now...

Oh so Coco

So I'm a big fan of Coco Rocha, and I was reading some stuff at her blog the other day, and it surprised me what I found; she has decided to start her own line!!, and she asked her readers to give her advice on what should be an ideal name for it. It just seemed so cool to me that she cares so much about her followers/readers, and tries to keep in touch through twitter,her blog, and some funny youtube videos with fellow friends behati prinsloo and Jessica Stam, you can also find some videos of her hosting some fashion events for E!, I'd be cool if the next generation of celebrities, would be super models, anyways.. she seems really cool, and I read some posts in the fashionspot of people who have met her that said that she is really nice. It's nice to see that someone who's in the top of the world actually realizes that, is thank full for it, and doesn't let it affect her personality. For the followers I post her link to her blog:
