The beautiful Life

An amazing show was made last year, it was called "the Beautiful Life", produced by Ashton Kutcher, and basically it's main plot was about young super model's lives.

Sadly only two episodes were aired, and then the show was cancelled due to bad rating. I already watched the episodes and I think it has great potential, I loved the casting.

See and Judge for yourself, if you like it please subscribe, and maybe the CW will agree on giving it another chance.

Sleepless in Seattle

Well, like I told you before, I had the opportunity of visiting Seattle like three weeks ago, which I loved! Like you know it's a big city but you kinda get the vibe that you're not so much in the city, It was cold and while I was in the Space Needle (or noodle, like some girl called it), you could feel the cold cold breeze in your face.

I also had the chance of visiting Microsoft, one of my friend's brother works there developing software.. pretty impressing, huh? well he and some of his colleagues assured us that not all of them, Microsoft workers, were geeks haha.. well while I was walking inside I thought of how cool it'd be to work there, what a discrepancy, isn't it? I dream of working in the fashion industry, but it would be so cool to work for Microsoft, well it's true, the products are totally different, but these two industries make unbelievably cool and smart stuff, and pretty =) and they need committed, innovative people. damn, will I get in some sort of trouble if I keep comparing Microsoft to the Fashion Industry?

I don't know how but one of the days I ended up in a chinese tea store, the girls were absolutely nice, I said Wo shi Mo-xi-ge ren, or at least that's the pronunciation.. which means I'm mexican, nice huh? =) i mean gimme a break it's been like two years since I dropped my chinese courses due to lack of space in my brain software, I'm telling you, learning like 200 characters for each exam, all of them ALIKE, it's not as easy as you'd think well anyways that was more than enough for the chinese girls to give us like 1 liter of tea divided in to like 15 tiny tiny tea cups, we were there for more than an hour.

enough with frivolities, let's talk fashion street style!, OMG sometimes I felt like I was in Milan. I saw a bunch of really stylish people, I have to say that I loved the street style, but I also have to say that there were not a lot of difference between the people's style. They all were one way street.. (most of them) of course every now and then you got to see cool different outfits. I guess what I liked the most was the attitude worn with the clothes =), I went shopping one day and there some things I liked, but to buy something I find myself in need of probably 3 days to find what I'm looking for, I always have a clear picture in my mind of what I want, and if it's not exactly what I want I won't pay for it. I liked an Armani dress, which I couldn't get, I wasn't so sure about the colors, but I think I regret not getting it now, I ended up with some white ripped jeans, a blue beach dress, a Calvin Klein shirt, and another shirt for my mom.

I'm underage, it was kinda of sad the fact that we couldn't get into any club, so we stayed at the hotel, played with cards, watched movies, talked all night.. I know right? We could be on tour rock stars or supermodels in Paris..

That's a picture of me and Seattle, it was taken from the Space Noodle.

Couture modeling

Considering myself as a loyal follower of the fashion world as the whole that represents, you know... from designers to models to writers, yeah yeah the whole Jessica, Coco, abbey lee, hilary, gemma, kate, gisele,all of them. Well last weekend I had the opportunity to admire some local fashion event, this consisted of people (models) standing for a really long time in the same position..

Do you see any resemblance? wait... do I have to pay them for posting a pic?

if Karl Lagerfeld called me and said they he needed me to lead the Paris runway I would be the first to say yes... see where I'm going??

I guess this is not Paris, even though that girl from MNTM, what's her name again? she's from somewhere around... but it's kinda cool to see the local fashion initiative, and it takes some braveness to stand there for a long time while people are looking at you... what do you think??

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.
