Gorgeousness

Is she gorgeous, or is she gorgeous??

Sorry about the short absence... but on Monday I fell asleeep with my clothes on, only to wake up at 3.45am and see all my blog finds scattered on the screen, and don't even get me started with workaholic Tuesday!!!

On being freinds

July 20th is Friends' Day in Argentina, and of course I realise that you don't celebrate friendship, the whole of it, just on one day, but it does give you a chance to get out of your daily routine (no matter if it's Monday, you're tyred, you've got exams, you crashed your car, your moving into a new house or you're psychosomatic about Influenza A) and express, share and care for each other on this day, as you would any other day. But at least like this, with an almost National Day dedicated to friendship, you get to celebrate and gather your bestest friends around you no matter what's going on in the world.

I don't know about you, but I spent it the best way you could: around a big ravioli plate, lots of chocoalte for desert, and all the stories that happened to us from our last reunion (last Friday night)!

Yay to Friends' Day!!

25th!

I realise I can't keep appearing and disapearing like that... but after the 2 working days week I had, and this Monday being my birthday and all I've been running everywhere and just now got the time to sit down and type.

I had a great 25th birthday! I got lots of calls from far far away, my friends came over, and I got the coolest presents: a day at a spa!, gorgeous clothes, $, and a cool new handbag. But I wanted to post about a particular present that flew in all the way from London, UK, and when I opended it I actually squealed out loud!!

Judge for yourselves:

I can't wait until I get to London!!!!



*When I showed this postcard to my grandma she just looked at it and said that she "can't believe what things are coming to... a prince shouldn't dress like this... it looks like a picture of a movie star rather than the heir to the British throne". LOL

Real beauty

What a weekend!! I've got some nice things to share, but today I'm running as usual so I'll get to the gossip later... but I wanted to share this photo I found on the webs. Is Lauren Hutton totally cool or is she totally cool?? I loooove that necklace! And her mature-sheepish-carless attitude which totally reminds me of Dove's "Real beauty" concept.

I might get handy this weekend and give that necklace a try!

Girl power!

Hello dears!! Happy belated Women's Day to you all!!! How did you spend your weekend? Mine was a very femenine, very casual and very lazy. I managed to sleep all those deprived hours, do some good reading, then read a lovely girly magazine, did some baking, caught a girly movie and I actually went jogging (gasp!) and run half the lake (double gasp!!). And I loved it! I got to see the sunset reflected in all sorts of fucsias, purples and blacks on the lake, although returning home when it was dark was provably not the brightest of ideas... Anyway, it was fantastic! :)

It's a terribly busy day at the office today, but I didn't want to miss the chance to say HAPPY US DAY!!

Moi?  C o n s e r v a t i v e ? ? You must be thinking of somebody else... ;) 

I love this (click on image to be even more amazed). Do you think I can pull off those glasses??

Today you just get this awesome photo (via Sabino) 'cause I'm off for the day on a business trip. Have a great Wednesday!

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!

The "smart" comes with the glasses

So, does anyone else relate to the fact that wearing glasses turns you instantly into a really smart person? Don't you just love it?? It's come in handy more than a couple of times now, and I've always been fascinated at how this disability has turned into a fashion statement (much to my advantage).

These past few weeks I've been seeing all over the net these gorgeous, big, nerdy glasses that I think are absoultely sexy. I've come to terms with the fact that I just can't pull this style off.... one thing is looking sexy smart, another is passing off as an old, grumpy librarian from another era... so when I got my new glasses I had to keep that in mind, and I LOOOOOOVE them! I finally got myself some black trims and I can't wait until I get them back from the lab!!

No les pasa que para las otras personas, el hecho de que una use anteojos automáticamente la convierte en alguien re-inteligente? No les encanta?? Me vino bárrbaro un par de veces, y siempre me fascinó el hecho de que este defecto se conviertiera en un "fashion statement".

Estas últimas semanas encontré por todos lados estos anteojos enormes, negros y nerds, y me parecen super sexies. Pero llegué a la conculsión de que yo no puedo con este estilo... una cosa es parecer sexy e inteligente y otra es parecer una vieja bibliotecaria de otra época... así que cuando busqué mis anteojos nuevos tuve que tener eso en cuenta, y me ENCANTANNN! Al final me animé y compré unos marcos negros y no me aguanto hasta que los traigan del laboratorio, los quiero ya!!

The cigarrette

Photo by Antonella Arismendi

Okay, so I really, reaaally don't like cigs... but I just love this photo! It's the front cover for the July issue of D-Mode magazine (published in Buenos Aires). I think this portrait is amazing! The light, the focused face and the out-of-focus hair... I just had to post it!

Ok, a mi realmente no me gustan los cigarrillos... pero amo esta foto! Es la tapa de la edición de julio de la revista D-Mode (publicada en Buenos Aires). Me encanta este retrato! La luz, la cara bien enfocada y el elo fuera de foco... tenia que postearla!
