drawing room: building walls

I've always been a very reserved person; I always tend to keep my personal life to me only; not even my parents, closest friends or boyfriend (when there's been one, which is rare) get the scoop. I always manage to keep things to myself.

Is this good? Is this bad?... I really don't know.. the way I see it is that, I don't want to bore or worry anyone else with the crazy stuff I have going on inside my head; I don't think they deserve to hear me wine about things, hear my anger explosions, the occasional tears, etc... It's my private life, my feelings, mine only... why should anyone else care.. right?

Although, it worries me that people think of me as cold and lonely because of this; and the truth is I am cold and lonely, but I'm not sad about this, I enjoy time with myself, I do try to keep things to myself and I do like to be alone, I never answer the phone 'cause I don't like to be disturbed when I'm working, I've even been alone in my house for days without any communication with anyone at all.
I get so anxious and grumpy with noise and other people disturbing me, that I really need the space and silence and alone time once in a while.

By all this I don't want you to think I don't care about anyone, I do, I do love to help my family and friends, I care for them, worry about them and hear them when they're sad, angry or happy; but when it comes to me, sharing my feelings... I fail. I can't seem to bring down those walls I've been building my whole life.

vintage

Found this vintage red sequined top on my mom's closet and decided to wear it as a mini dress. This top is actually part of a suit; it comes together with a red sequined floor lenght skirt, super 80's!

cat eye sunglasses

Loving today's Who What Wear Daily newsletter.... cat eye sunglasses are definitely a must have accesory this spring-summer season.

I'm totally digging Alexander Wang's...

blugirl

Blugirl is Blumarine's youngest line, kind of new in the fashion scene; also it's Anna Molinari's cheapest line of clothing. Her daughter, Rossella Tarabini, is now the creative director of the whole 3 brands. All of them manage to translate into magnificent colors, luxury and romantic style.

Blugirl is a little bit more "girly" than Bluemarine and Anna Molinari; it was in fact, developed to attract a younger/teenager crowd. We've slowly started to watch more and more Blugirl in magazines, and there's no doubt that Anna Molinari made a score on this one. Blugirl seems slightly different from other italian designers, it shows that the inspiration behind it has been influenced by diverse backgrounds.

fly me to the moon

I got to see Superman at Guadalajara's wax museum.. I decided to play a little bit of photoshop with the picture, but as usual.. my job's super lazy, my photoshop skills need extreme polishing, but then again, I don't care, I just do it for fun.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a real life Superman?! On his free day, he could manage a second job, maybe work as a travel guide and charge people for taking them to random places in the world; or who knows.. maybe not just planet earth, he could take us to an entire different galaxy.. with an additional cost of $100.00 dlls for the oxygen tank of course.

last day

Tomorrow's my last day here at Guadalajara. Nice trip this was.

Today we went downtown again, had some red wine in a cafe at the main plaza.

We visited Tonala which is a village near Guadalajara city, filled with Mexican curios shops, rustic furniture stores, ceramics, native art and so on... We also had a chance to visit the Wax Museum; I had fun taking pictures with movie characters, specially Snow White's... There's the Ripley Museum just next to it too.

We met a nice couple that came all the way from Winnipeg, Canada! Turns out they own a condo in Puerto Vallarta and come every year, flying away from the cold winters they get back home. It was their first time visiting Guadalajara and it's only 2 hours away from Puerto Vallarta.

Anyway, I'm heading back to Mexicali; I'll explain everything about the fashion contest once I reach my house and comfortable bed. It was a great and scary experience, I'm still nervous because I still have to wait 2 more weeks to see if I made it to the final round.. and if I did, I'll get to go to Mexico, D.F.!..

Wish me luck!

zac posen for target

Zac Posen decided to share his talent with everyone this prom season; he launched a small collection at extremely accessible prices (starting at $80.00 dlls) for Target.

From ruffles to crazy prints, mini dresses and tuxedos for girls!; he really went for variety designing this year's prom dresses.

I totally recommend you go now to Target and pick a dress before they're all gone.

thanks for the ad!

Yesterday we went again to the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, California. Wish the finals would have been different; I was certain Nadal was going to make it.. at the last minute he lost the semi-final against Ivan Ljubicic; who faced Andy Roddick in the final round... and won.

Anyway.. while getting there, me and my sisters saw the dumbest sign ever on the road. I had to take a picture of this.. it's so stupid. Looks like something you'd find in a cartoon, "labeled Acme" or whatever... we were just waiting for the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote to appear any second at this scene.. check it out..





"Pavement ends"... really??
I thought I'd never notice... thanks for reminding us!

next stop: Guadalajara!

Just one day until the next contest!

On Tuesday I'll be flying to Guadalajara, Jalisco; one of the coolest and top 5 most interesting cities here in Mexico.

ELLE MEXICO DISENA is the name of the annual fashion contest, presented by ELLE MEXICO magazine. This year's theme is Primary Colors; which means, creating a design that only carries those 3 colors: blue, yellow and red.

It's the first time I've entered one of these national contests so I don't know what to expect. I'll just give my best and try to figure it out from there. I've already got my design, the pictures, all the paperwork required to hand over so.. the only thing missing is me at Guadalajara the day of the auditions.

I'll be back on Sunday.

Wish me luck!
