The digital phase the world is facing in our time has also influenced the Fashion industry; several designers are now showcasing geometric and eclectic prints on their garments but not just the average type of prints; they’ve combined art, color and images in perfect harmony.

You might wonder what the inspiration behind this trend is all about, well, Art Deco no doubt. This artistic style began in Paris in the 1920s and it spread its influence into all areas of design: architecture, interior design, industrial design, painting, visual arts, film and of course; fashion.

Have you guys ever experienced vertigo?

It sucks and I hate the fact that I have been denied to drink alcohol!..isn't that the saddest thing?

I've been having vertigo for 2 months now.. at first it was horrible, I fell twice and that's when I realized I had to go see a doctor.. he gave me some pills like I thought he would and the vertigo slowly started to go away... until it came back next week and then left and then came back and so on.. I've been having it on and off.

It's supposed to be caused by stress..and yeah, I've been pretty stressed.. but I only wish this dizziness was caused by substance abuse and make me travel into a land of wonders and come back to reality with tons of ideas to illustrate... like a trip into the 60's psychedelia with jimi hendrix playing non-stop as background music...Oh I do love Jimi.

I'm not a huge fan of asking people to vote for me on facebook stuff or other contests where the most "liked" person wins.. but this contest I dig a lot.. the prize is an internship at refinery29 and I would so much love that.

...so basically I'm gonna go ahead and do what I don't like to do.. would you do me a favor and vote for me?.. besides, I encourage you to enter this contest as well, it's more about the essence of the blog than the style of the blogger; which is also important, BUT not focused on the ones that look pretty in photos.

Vote for me HERE!

I asked Napoleon Dynamite (2004) for political advice and this is what he told me to do:

"Just tell them that their wildest dreams will come true if they vote for you."

...so yeah, if you vote for me, all your wildest dreams will come true!! :)

As an upgrade of the Color Block trend that got so popular on spring 2011, arrives a wide range of pastel hues to switch places with the vibrant ones that dominated last year's scenario.

The volume on the color may have decreased, but the presence remains.

This spring is all about pastel colors; not necessarily in a girly kind of way but definitely into a candy land groove; either way it's you the one that will choose how to wear them.

..for my english readers, the text says:

"What are we doing to the planet?"
"Why are you all celebrating?"

I hope you know what "piñatas" are.. they're super popular in Mexican Traditional parties, they're supposed to be filled with lots of different sorts of candy and children (or adults) beat it and hit it with a wooden stick, taking turns until it breaks and all the candy falls to the floor and everyone runs to get some before the others do...

Sometimes I get the idea that this is what happens with the planet... we are killing it... like a piñata, hitting and hurting it until it breaks apart... "The world is not a piñata".

I'm a total anti-social and always have refused to attend upper-class fancy parties, cotillions and stuff like that.. but when it came to me such offer.. designing a carnival costume without limits.. well, I couldn't resist!

I'm making this woman a peacock queen.. I'll be posting the sketch soon.. and the final outfit once it's done... oh yes.. I'm excited!

Today I woke up still feeling kind of sick.. I'd just like to spend the entire day in my pj's, tucked in my bed, drinking cups of tea or toffee nut flavored coffee or eating noodle soup; watching good old movies.. like the one in the image above...

"Cada quien carga su propia cruz"... spanish words for "everyone carries their own cross"... it references the cross that supposedly Jesus Christ held all the way to the top of the hill when condemned to death... It's a very well known phrase in México, it expresses how we all have our own problems and griefs; they may be different from one another but we all carry our own cross.

Of course I'm only thinking about this because of the cross earring I'm wearing, or should I say "carrying".

BLACK vs. WHITE

(images via vogue)

When it comes to choosing a dress for a big event, I've seen most girls aim towards black; it is chic, sophisticated and slimming.. no wonder it's the crowd's favorite.

I know some others choose colors over black, but I think black always ends up being the most popular.

Black is always my number one option when it comes to dressing up for my daily life.. my closset's full of black clothes, but that's why I tend towards colors when I have a black tie event, weddings or some other sort of Gala to attend to... I have to look different from my everyday clothes... and I always want to wear white because it stresses me that I can't wear it to weddings... so when ever I CAN wear a white gown, I go for it.

What do you do in these cases... black vs. white.. which one do you choose?

leopard and velvet and rings.. oh my!

I saw this amazing bright red stretch velvet fabric a while ago and immediately grabbed it, I had to make myself a dress in that awesome material.. and this is the result.. a cut-out dress.

I wore it with a leopard print coat I made, black shoes and lots of jewelry... I'm especially digging my new earring. A friend of mine is launching her jewelry line and it is really cool, it's called Lola Bassó... once my online store is up and running I'll be selling her stuff online too, so stay tuned!

The short hair defense mecanism... 90% man repeller, so I've heard.
I've been desperately waiting for it to grow back but come to think about it.. I think I'm sticking to my short hair for a while.

Do you have any defene mecanisms against something or someone?

the ground...
I forgot how it felt to be standing on the ground,
strange feeling when you walk with your feet..
I got so used to flying among clouds when I was with you...
now I'm back to the old, mortal me..
I'll keep on walking until I get those wings back again.

currently working on: white lace dress

2012-01-06T14:16:00.000-08:00

And I'm about to start a white lace dress yet again.. this fabric seems to be so popular among my clients, I've already done a ton of white lace pieces and they keep coming up.. gosh lace is so popular, I wonder if it will be crowned as prom queen.

drawing room: running "latte"

2012-01-06T05:55:00.000-08:00

I'm a total coffee cup.. always on the move, like I'm running late (or latte) even if I'm not...

Which one are you?

if I run out of paper I'll draw in my flesh...

Since I was a kid I used to doodle everywhere, including my hands. My mom used to yell at me when I got home from school and saw all the drawings in my hands and arms, "are you in jail?, cause you look like a convict!" ..hahaha... that's what she used to say.

I'm sorry mom, I'm getting my first tattoo real soon... and that one won't wash out with soap.

waiting for you will kill me faster than smoking 1000 cigarettes...

trend report: colorful coats

Most of you must own at least one winter coat to keep you warm and surely that one coat is black, it is very common to leave color behind when it comes to winter, most girls stick to dark colors during this season, but why is that?

Color is not meant for spring or summer only, color can be anywhere in any time, even on your jackets, blazers and coats.

The cold days aren’t over and what better way to shift from winter to spring than with a colorful coat as a transitional look. Pick them in bright red, green blue or pink; there are lots of shades to choose from.

These coats can blend with other color palettes or inject the bright vibe you need in an all-one color outfit.

Still wondering about the Technicolor coats? Try this: start slowly, wear an all-black outfit and add a rich blue or pink coat on top. You’ll love it so much you’ll want to buy one coat in every color of the rainbow.

Amber Heard looked marvelous in this minimal look: a white long dress with no skin exposure; proving that looking hot doesn't mean one should show off a lot of skin, on the contrary, less is more; it leaves more to the imagination.

And not only the dress is stunning, I'm mostly taken away by her hair and make-up, so clean and flattering to her skin tone, she looks gorgeous!
