Paris daydreaming with P

I've been having a hard time adjusting back to the "real life" (meaning: vacations are over) and I keep having this flash back images going on in my head at random times of places and people and all the things I was doing 3 weeks ago.

Right now I'm totally loving this song, loving the video, and totally loving/missing P who's having the time of his life in Barcelona! Click play to see this gorgeous story (never mind the fights :P). How can you not be totally in-love with life when you get to see Europe with the love of your life?

Have a lovely, love-filled weekend!

Overwhelmed

Total blog abandonment this past week... really sorry about that!!

I feel completely overwhelmed, and it's starting to really get on my nerves... I've gotten to the point where I really can't tell if it's my fault and how I can fix it. I keep forgetting important things, I plan to do fun stuff and completey forget that I had other plans, I woke up waaaay too late this weekend, ergo I had no time to do stuff.

How do you get organised?? Why do I feel like I'm always running everywhere?? Argh! Totally sick of it! Hopefully this week will be a bit smoother...

Hope you had a great weekend!

Miss Dior Chérie

Today I wanna run through the city to a French song, try on clothes, have cupcakes, wear a pink dress and golden shoes with bows, ride my bicycle and be absolutely gorgeous and carefree. And live in Paris, of course!

I'm absolutely in love with the new Miss Dior Chérie advert, produced by Sofia Coppola.

PS.: Feel free to get me the parfum if you're ever stuck at the freeshop!!

Found it via The Cherry Blossom Girl.

Monceau Parc avec The Cherry Blossom Girl

There's a garden in Paris that I love. I've actually never been to this particular park as last year I didn't know it's name and I thought it would be easy enough to find it (and I never did). Later I discovered it's not on the "touristy things-to-do list", and I've become even more intrigued by it! That's why I was totally pleased when I saw The Cherry Blossom Girl's last blog entry: an entire photoshoot among the trees, autumn leaves and Corinthian columns at Monceau Parc!

Alix, or The Cherry Blossom Girl (the brunette in the photos), goes all over Paris and other pretty French locations and does great fashion photoshoots that I love to gawk at, and I'm pretty sure you'll love too, so I think it's a great idea to start my brand new Blog roll with her!. Her blog is lovely, and it just makes you want to have a great photographger around you all the time so you can start posting fantastic pics of yourself in breathtaking outfits (note to self: I need a friend who can take amazing photos and doesn't mind chasing me around BA!). Enjoy!

Hay un jardín en París que me encanta. En realidad es un paque que no conozco, el año pasado quise ir y no sabía cómo se llamaba y pensé que iba a ser fácil encontrarlo (y al final nunca llegué). Más tarde me enteré que no está en la lista de cosas típicas para hacer en París, y ahora me intriga más! Por eso me encantó el último post de The Cherry Blossom Girl: una sesión de fotos entre los árboles, las hojas caídas y las columnas corintias del Monceau Parc!

Alix, o The Cherry Blossom Girl (la morocha de las fotos), va por todo París y otras locaciones francesas lindísimas para hacer sesiones de fotos que sube a su blog. La verdad es que son geniales y estoy segura que a ustedes les va a gustar tanto como a mí por eso me parece que es un blog genial para empezar mi nuevo Blog roll! Su blog está bárbaro, y de sólo verlo te dan ganas de tener un buen fotógrafo que te persiga por todos lados y te saque fotos buenísimas con conjuntos increíbles (nota: necesito una amiga que saque fotos espectaculares y que no tenga problema de seguirme por todo BA!). Disfruten!

Movie apartments #1 {Before the Sunset}

I absolutely adore certain movie homes, and I'm going to start sharing them here. For the first post on Movie Apartments I'm going to start with Celine's apartment in Before Sunset. I seriously can't find a single thing in this movie that I don't love. From the amazig characters (performed by Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawk), their past, the untold feelings and twisted emotions through nine years, the amazing Parisian shots, the uttery real dialogues... EVERYHING!

And Celine's apartment is a perfect way to end this movie; the photo above is is a still shot of the last scene... Her her messy, cool loft, filled with hundreds photos and polaroids is in one of those Parisian apartments I love so much, where you have to go in a little pedestrian street and you appear in a courtyard and then there's like a hidden patio with antique bikes and all... *sight* I need to get myself back to Paris!! ASAP!

Céline: Un café et un citron pressé, s'il vous plait. (A coffee and lemonade, please.)

Jesse: (Sighs.) God, I love this cafe. I wish they had places like this in the U.S.
Céline: Yeah, I missed cafes when I was living over there. I mean, I find a few places I really liked, but there was...
Jesse: (Interrupting.) You...You were living in the U.S.?
Céline: Yes, from, uh, '96 to '99. I was studying at NYU.
Jesse: OH, GOD (looks down in disgust) don't tell me that, Céline! (Covers his eyes.)
Céline: What?!
Jesse: No, it's just...Nothing, I mean I...
Céline: What?
Jesse: I've been living in New York since '98. You know, we were there at the same time!
Céline: In New York?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: Ah, that's weird. It actually crossed my mind a few times that I might run into you, but...The odds are so slim, right? So...I didn't even know what city you were living in. Weren't you somewhere in Texas? You were in Texas.
Jesse: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely, I just...I was for a long time, I just...You know, wanted to try New York.
Céline: (Softly.) Wow.

Algunas casas de películas me encantan y voy a empezar a postearlos acá. El primer post de "Movies Apartments" es el departamento de Celine en Antes del Atardecer. La verdad que no hay una sola cosa de esta película que no me fascine. Desde los increíbles personajes (por Julie Delpy y Ethan Hawk), su pasado, los sentimientos y emociones ocultos por nueve años, las fantásticas vistas de París, los diálogos increíblemente reales... TODO!

Y el departamento de Celine es un lugar perfecto para terminar la película; la foto de arriba e una toma de la escena final... Su loft desordenado me parece re-copado, lleno de fotos y polaroids, es uno de esos departamentos parisinos que me encantan, donde hay que entrar por una calle peatonal y llegás a un patio interno con bicicletas antiguas y... *sight* Tengo que volver a Paris!! YA!

Desiderata - Invierno 08

Considering the weather (spring hasn't really started here yet) I wanted to post Desiderata's last winter campaign wich I absolutely loved. The pictures above:
1st: One of the adverts that came up in magazines
2, 3 & 4: The making of the catalog.

Of course I'm probably biased as they did the photo shoot in Paris, and there's hardly anything Parisian that I don't like! The mood, the colors, the settings, j'aime tout! Almost all the clothes where so my style... too bad I couldn't indulge into every little outfit...

Af all the photos they used for advertising, I liked the one on top the most. So relaxed, depicting Parisian life with the cloudy sky and evertything in a shade of pink... it's a cliché, I know, but I love how they portrayed La vie en rose.


Considerando que el clima acompaña (acá todavía no empezó la primavera) quería postear algunas fotos de la última campaña de Desiderata - Invierno 08, que la verdad me encantó. Las fotos de arriba:
1ra: Una de las piezas publicitarias que salió en revistas
2, 3 & 4: El making of del catálogo.

Seguro que no estoy siendo objetiva, ya que la sesión de fotos la hicieron en París, y casi no hay cosas parisinas que no me gusten! El clima, los colores, los escenarios, j'aime tout! Casi todas las prendas eran muy de mi estilo... una lástima que no pudiera darme con el gusto con cada uno de los conjuntos...

De todas las fotos que usaron en las piezas gráficas, la que más me gusta es la que postee arriba de todo. Una onda muy relax, mostrando la vida parisina con el cielo encapotado y todo con un tinte rosa... sí, es un cliché, pero me encanta como retrataron La vie en rose.

Bienvenue!!

Okay... first post... and a blank new blog. Let's see how it turns out. In the meantime I'll leave you with my new desktop photo that I just love! I don't remember where it'll came from... but I promise to look it up.

Anyway, stick around to see what happnes!

Ok... el primer post... en un blog en blanco. Veremos como sigue. Por ahora les dejo mi nueva foto del Escritorio que me encanta! No sé dónde la encontré, pero prometo buscarlo.

Bueno, eso es todo por ahora, pero visiten a ver qué pasa!
