Good night, another bad morning.

Hello everybody! Weekend's here, and I'm so exited because tomorrow morning, Laia and I will be very early at Las Ramblas for the Sonia Rykiel's release at H&M!! Yaw, girl, less than a day!

On the other hand, this week is gonna be funny, indeed. On saturday, dinner and Razz. On Sunday, Virus (a gothic party). On monday, relax... (yea, I'll need it) and on tuesday... Editors! Yes, finally, we're going to see them! And after that... my birthday! God, I can't believe it... just another year? *gasp*

Anyway, I would like to thank you all your lovely comments in this blog, but specially in my last entry about Kate Moss. I'm glad about sharing my opinion with yours; please, keep on expressing and sharing them with me (about Kate or anything), I love reading them.

Yesterday I had lunch with Esther, Maka and Eva; and after that, we went to Tamar's shop and had a nice coffee with her. I love those kind of days with friends, it's quite funny (and we're always joking about everything; yesterday, for example, it was about a doll called "Goldie"). But the point about yesterday is that Maka gave me two things:


A lovely Christmas card (thank you, dear! I love you :D)


And my dreaming skirt from Baby, the Stars Shine Bright!!

I bought it about two weeks ago and now it's at home, yaw! I've been dreaming with this skirt for so long, you know? It's a Halloween theme, but looks so lovely...




I bought this lovely eyeshadows' palette, and the lollipop is a present from my friend Vane, thanks to you too! And looking so pink... it reminds me... I own you a game, Sher!!

A few days ago, lovely Sher tagged me in a very funny way. She choose a color, and I must look after things in that color at my bedroom. The color she choose was pink ... so here are some pink things around my bedroom!


 
My pink H&M boots, a little notepad with a lovely Miss Bunny, my mouse and my sleeping mask!

I don't have much pink in my decoration, but I've got some cute things in my wardrobe!

Now, I must choose a color and tagg some people... so I choose BLACK and I tagg:

Maka
Nasty
and
Maria

It's your time, girls!



As today I'm feeling again like...



I want to talk you about one of my fashion muses... that belongs to the music world. Yes, I know I've talk about her before (and no, it's not Florence...). She's Alison Mosshart.


Isn't she beautiful?

I love Alison from the first moment I heard her voice. I had not seenher before, but the sound of ther voice through the speakers of my radio was great, and I was captivated from the start. Then I could see her in photos and video clips, and all of this just seemed to me an adjective to it: perfect.

Not only do I find her as a beautiful woman with a particular style of dress; but also I think she's very charismatic and gives a special touch of glamor to anything she touches.

Her voice is soft, yet has a hidden strength that only lets out a glimpse when the feline beast within her. She forms a perfect match with Jamie Hince, her companion of adventures in the wonderful project that is The Kills; has inspired Brian Molko of Placebo and she's currently engaged in a paralel project from The Kills along with Jack White, The Dead Weather.




I think the world of fashion, certainly, drinks flowing all around, creating a kind of reciprocal circle that inspires some and within which draws inspiration from others. Of course, any art theme is touched by fashion and music is no exception. Madonna, Lady Gaga, The Strokes, David Bowie ... We can think of a thousand examples of influential people in the world of fashion, and that both are inspired by it. But honestly, I think that there are two groups: one, with those stars who are led by the world of fashion and what designers say, coolhunters and stylists; and another for those that are the objective of coolhunters, inspiration for designers and the creative dream of every good stylist. Of course, not just in the world of celebrities, also in day to day and from the people around us, but perhaps it is in the glamorous world where this is most evident.

For me, Alison is within the second category. Her personal style, character, her aura of mystery, makes her a juicy prey for coolhunters (and therefore, for me) because she's not led by the canons in extreme fashion, making her a unique person...




So, dear Alison ...Never change!

And to you all, thanks for reading!
(and remember, I'm not here to please you)



Hoy os voy a hablar de una de mis musas (y no, no es Florence): Alison Mosshart.




Alison me enamoró desde el primer momento en el que escuché su voz. No la había visto antes, pero me daba igual... el sonido que emitía su voz a través de los altavoces de mi radio era maravilloso, y me cautivó desde el inicio. Luego pude verla en fotos y videoclips, y tan sólo se me antojó un adjetivo para ella: perfecta.
No sólo me resulta una mujer hermosa y con un particular estilo a la hora de vestir; sino que además creo que es muy carismática y le imprime un especial toque de glamour a cualquier cosa que toca.

Su voz es suave, pero a la vez posee una fuerza escondida que sólo deja entrever cuando deja escapar a la fiera felina que lleva dentro. Forma un equipo perfecto con Jaime Hince, su compañero de aventuras en ese maravilloso proyecto que es The Kills; ha inspirado a Brian Molko de Placebo actualmente está embarcada en un proyecto paralalelo a The Kills junto a Jack White; The Dead Weather.




Creo que el mundo de la moda, indudablemente, bebe de todo lo que fluye a su alrededor, creando una especie de círculo recíproco que inspira a unos y dentro del cual, recibe inspiración de otros. Por supuesto, cualquier temática artística se ve tocada por la moda, y la música no es una excepción. Madonna, Lady Gaga, The Strokes, David Bowie... podemos pensar en mil ejemplos de personas influyentes en el mundo de la moda, y que a la vez son inspirados por la misma. Pero sinceramente, yo considero que hay dos grupos: Uno, el de aquellas estrellas que se dejan llevar por el mundo de la moda y lo que dicen los diseñadores, coolhunters y estilistas; y otro, el de aquellas con personalidad propia que son objetivo de los coolhunters, inspiración para los diseñadores y el sueño creativo de todo buen estilista. Por supuesto, no sólo pasa en el mundo de los famosos; también en el día a día y entre las personas que nos rodean; pero tal vez es en el mundo del glamour donde ésto se hace más evidente.

Para mí, Alison está dentro de la segunda categoría. Su estilo personal, su carácter, su aura de misterio la convierten en una presa jugosa para los coolhunters (y por ende, para mí), ya que ella no se deja llevar en extremo por los cánones de la moda, convirtiéndola en un ser único...




Por eso, querida Alison... ¡nunca cambies!

Y a vosotros, gracias por leer!!

Beware of the moon.

Today I was with some friends taking a coffee, and I started to think about blogging. And about this blog, of course. When I started long time ago, I used to write here my feelings and my thoughts... and now, it's a fashion blog. But the title I've chosen... Not here to please you...

And that's the truth, I'm not here to please anybody, and at the very begining, I wanted to talk not only about my daily life and fashion, but also about my opinion about the fashion world.

Ant tonight, maybe because I've see the Christmas lights at Barcelona; maybe because as Daisy Lowe said this morning in her twitter, "Beware with the full moon"... I feel that I want to express more about fashion and less about me.

That's the reason of this post, and as you'll see at the very end of it, that's why I'm traslatin it into spanish. This kind of post would be written in two languages, because I want you all to understand me and express your opinion, wright?


 
So... beware with the moon...

I've always wanted to work in the fashion world since I can remember. I did mind what to do: create clothes, accessories or say what is or is not cool ... I wanted to work in the fashion world. Finally, I decided I wanted to study coolhunting, with about fourteen, and that was partly the fault of someone who I considered my muse Kate Moss.




Kate was a discovery for me as it was for many of us. Among lots of supermodela (ebony goddesses and stunning blonde), Calvin Klein took this little girl, with her big nose and not-so-perfect skin; and put her into the main stream. I was amazed, it seemed a wise bet and cool ... and believe me, saying something is cool with thirteen years seems easy, but guess it... is no longer so.

I started to decorate my wall with photos of her in black and white color ... someone looked normal, walk, close ... even today I still think it has been a muse and an icon of the nineties.




And suddenly, there is the Kate Moss diva, haughty, with tantrums, fits of hysteria and the desire to be cool based on news in the tabloids and yellow press. Suddenly they are the nineties, reached 2000, a new century ... and Kate seems to be the Courtney Love of the world of haute couture. Boyfriends problematic, drug use, scandals ... Where is that girl I used to admired? No longer, now I see only a very thin woman who wants to reign forever, when we all know that's impossible.

Don't get me wrong, I am not an innocent or something. I know in the fashion world is all this and more. But I find it regrettable that precisely the fashion world, that "guilt" by Kate Moss was relegated to a low opinion (remember how many times have you heard blame for food problems to designers) forgive a failure so serious. And so I say serious because, remember that Kate, who was my muse, is nowadays the same for millions of teenagers, which will surely follow her until the end of the world. If you get a line of cocaine, you may lose a contract, but if you apologize and say you're not going to re-do (like us to believe, HA!), you'll go five in a week.

I spent years working with adolescents, many of them in extreme situations of risk ... Is not this what we try to prevent? Does this belief that "no matter, I'm, the rebel, always win"? I will not write now on a crusade about yes or no to drugs, but one thing is certain: it is a very turbulent world. Should not Miss Kate be a little more responsible with their public image, and watch what they do in private? Honestly, I don't care if this lady pull the laptop from her boyfriend (Jamice Hinche) to a pool and a hard fuck him ... but should be careful where (and what) sticks his great nose.

That is why, among many other small details that you stopped being my muse, Kate. You don't look cool, or smart, a role model or someone with style for me anymore.

Frankly, although I know it was more of the same ... I miss the supermodels like Linda and Claudia. They hawked at least not his private life and knew how to reign, hence are still queens.

Thanks for reading... and remember.

I'm not here to please you.

PS: Sher, I know I own you the game, next entry, I promise! But today I just needed to express myself!




Siempre he querido trabajar en el mundo de la moda, desde que tengo uso de razón. Me daba igual crear ropa, complementos o decir qué es y qué no es cool... quería trabajar en el mundo de la moda. Finalmente, tomé la decisión de que quería estudiar coolhunting, con unos catorce años; y en parte la culpa fue de alguien a quien consideraba mi musa: Kate Moss.




Kate fue un descubrimiento para mí igual que lo fue para mucha de nosotras. Entre tanta supermodelo, diosas de ébano y rubias despampanantes, Calvin Klein sacó a esta chica menudita, de nariz grande y piel no tan perfecta como parece. Me maravilló, me pareció una apuesta acertada y cool... y creedme, decir que algo es cool con trece años parece fácil, pero acertar en ello ya no lo es tanto. Comencé a decorar mi pared con fotos de ella en blanco y negro, a color... la veía alguien normal, de a pie, cercano... aún hoy día sigo pensando que ha sido una musa y un icono de los años noventa.

Y de pronto, surge la Kate Moss diva, altiva, con berrinches, ataques de histeria y ganas de ser cool a base de noticias en los tabloides y prensa amarilla. De pronto se van los noventa, llega el año 2000, un nuevo siglo... y Kate parece queres ser la Courtney Love del mundo de la alta costura. Novios problemáticos, consumo de estupefacientes, escándalos... No me malinterpretéis; no soy una inocente o algo por el estilo. Sé que en el mundo de la moda hay de todo esto y más. Pero me parece lamentable el hecho de que precisamente, el mundo de la moda, que "por culpa" de Kate Moss se vio relegado a una mala opinión (no olvidemos cuántas veces hemos oído echarle la culpa de los problemas de alimentación a los diseñadores) perdonara una falta tan grave. Y digo tan grave porque, recordemos que Kate, la cual era mi musa, lo sigue siendo de millones de adolescentes, los cuales seguramente seguirán su ejemplo. Si te metes una raya de cocaína, puedes perder un contrato; pero si pides perdón y dices que no lo vas a volver a hacer (como si nos lo creyéramos), te salen cinco más.

Y digo yo, que he estado años trabajando con adolescentes, muchos de ellos en situaciones extremas de riesgo... ¿no es esto lo que tratamos de prevenir? ¿Esa creencia de que "da igual, sé rebelde, siempre ganas"? No voy a escribir ahora una cruzada acerca del sí o no a las drogas, pero una cosa es cierta: es un mundo muy turbulento. ¿No debería la señorita Kate ser un poco más responsable con su imagen pública, y cuidar lo que hace en privado? Sinceramente, me da igual que esta señorita tire el ordenador portátil de su novio (Jamice Hinche) a una piscina y le joda un disco... pero sí debería tener cuidado dónde (y qué) mete su grandiosa nariz.

Es por esto, entre otros muchos pequeños detalles, que dejaste de ser mi musa, Kate. Ya no me pareces cool, o elegante; un ejemplo a seguir o alguien con estilo.

Sinceramente, y aunque sé que era más de lo mismo... echo de menos a las supermodelos como Linda o Claudia. Ellas al menos no pregonaban su vida privada y supieron reinar; por eso aún son reinas.

Muchas gracias por leer... y recordad.
No estoy aquí para agradar a nadie.

More Gaudi and thanks to...



 Last wednesday we went again to the Park Güell with my mom, it was her birthday and she wanted to go there by the morning!





The Chocolate House!


 
 
Knit - Blanco
Skirt - Mango
Tights - Calzedonia
Shoes - Secret Shop

We spent the day at the neighborhood of Gracia, and finally, we had a walk dow Passeig de Gracia... where you can see this:



This is the Batlló House, another great building from Gaudi,,, it's my favourite one, amazing!!

My mother left Barcelona that day, and since that, I'm a little bit sad... but I'll see her again on Christmas, because I'm almost sure that I'll go back home for Christmas... of course, afer that I'll come back to Barcelona... just trying to find my dreams!

Sorry for the lack of post of these days, I promise I'll be posting more ofthen this week... I was a little bit ashame about my mother and thinking in my own stuff, hahaha! And I didn't want to post about sad things, you know!

So that's why I'm doing...

My Thanksgiving list!!!

Bloglovin' asked to their bloggers just to write about their favourite people and I'm doing it right now! So this is my list!!

Elin is my muse. My inspiration. Everytime I read one of her post, I fell in love with her once again. Her naturalness, simplicity and great style made me fall in love long ago. When I need inspiration I go to her files and photographs, because she is able to do that we can see the magic in a simple sheet of paper ... for being you, thank you, Elin!



One day I met Sandra. And I found the magic of the daily life. She writes about the little things that are important, those that when you're far from home, makes you smile. That's the spell that Sandra has got over me: she always makes me smile like a child with her lovely posts... Besides all, she has a special quality about me, and is that she makes me yearn for a place, Sweden ... as my home. Hopefully someday I can go there to live, because of course, that's one of my dreams since I was a child and Sandra inspires me to do so...

 

Emma has got a big quality, and is that she can live nowdays like if it where in the past. She has achieved something that was sleepinf insdie me, and it is the pleasure of the old. And when I say old, I mean vintage things. With its sympathetic writings, and his wonderful style, I have learned to retrieve something I used to love from my childhood: the pleasure of the smell of used things, the feel of a pair of used shoes, the texture of the clothes from yesteryears ... Thanks, Emma, because it is for you that the word "vintage" has returned to my vocabulary!


Laia has entered in my life like a wild wave, and I very much appreciate it. She has made me see that there is no need to dream of distant places to pursue our dreams, although both dreaming to leave far from home. I discovered that I have a friend closer than I thought, someone with I can share small treasures that I had forgotten. For being my friend, thanks, Laia!



Of course, I leave here lots of wonderful people... Maria from Lulu Letty, Daria, Sher, Daisy, Ines... you all know that I love you and you're part of my inspiration too!

And you? Who do you wanna say "Thank you"?

Sundays at Barcelona...

Hi everybody, my beautiful people!! I'm sorry for the lack of post these days ago, but as I told you, my mom was here and I was spending some time with her!!

First of all, I want to say something for all the people ho reads this blog and are from the USA: Happy Thanksgiving day! I hope you all pass a great day!

Well, as I've got lots of gorgepus pictures to show you, I'll talk a little bit about my last sunday. I spent it with my mom and her boyfriend, Rafa (who is working at the moment at Tarragona, very near from Barcelona; but I'm sure that he'll come back to Algeciras really soon). First of all, we went into the Sagrada Familia, do you remember that place? I'm sure you would with the pictures...


 
 
Gaudi was a genious!!
My mother wanted to visit this, because last time she was here it was before she was pregnat!!

Thenk we went to a very very lovely place: el Born. It's an old zone from Barcelona where you can find the famous Catedral del Mar (something like Mary of the Sea's Cathedral, I don't know if the translation is good!). Maybe some of you have read the book The Cathedral of the Sea by Ildefonso Falcones... so, yes, this is the place... and it was really beautiful!



 
 
 
 
My mother at Plaza del Rei

After this wonderful place, we went to Grácia for having lunch there, and had a walk through that zone and Park Güell; unfortunately it was dark and we couln't take good pictures... but don't worry, yesterday we went again there and I'll show you wonderful things!!

I want to live here!!


Me at Park Gëll.
Dress- H&M

The Machine...

It is now a couple of years ago that I discovered the heavenly sound of your throat and force of your letters, those that make your vocal cords vibrate. Screaming lessons in our ears; lessons that everyone should have already learned but that sometimes we are unable to assimilate. Whispering that we must be run through everything we love, and that sometimes we should leave behind what we love; running for our mother, fighting for what we believe. Stopping being a rabbit girl to become a lion girl, ready for battle. Jumping into the void, letting the happiness we get hit us like a train; stumbling, falling and getting up again, because that's life.

Today I dedicate my lines once again on your red head, your sighs and your passions, today I dedicate my words to you once again because sometimes when I feel sluggish, you take my smile away with every little piece of your sound ... and I smile even more thinking that I want to express this.

Today I want to scream something everybody already knows, but I do not care.

I am part of the machine. We are all parts of this machine that moves, based on valves, inspirations, throbbing and tears. Everyone, whether you like it or not, settle for a fraction of a heavy equipment: life. And within this machinery, there are sometimes sounds that guide us. The sound of Florence, among other very important sounds, guides me.

And yes, I am also a part of the machine. 


You've got the Love is original from The Source featuring Candi Staton; but I love Florence's cover too.


 





I didn't say anything about Daul's dead because I really think that there's nothing more about to say, except that we'll keep her in our mind :(

Blog award!

Today we have been at a party hosted by Le Look, a fashion streetstyle website of Barcelona, has been interesting ... I hope to have photos soon to show you what it was.

But while I want to thank the lovely Sher from Beneath the Crystal Stars for giving me this award ...Thank you very much indeed!



I'm supposed to have ten things about me, try to accompany it with pictures to make it more entertaining ...

1. I've been collecting Vogue magazine for over ten years. I started to read it when I was fifteen and until today, I'm still a faithful reader!


2. Although I am a psychologist, I aspire to work as coolhunter because I love fashion and I find it a very interesting work...

This cat is so cool XD

 3.I dream of living in Stockholm, but first I would also like to live in London.


 

4. I like chocolate but I eat it only in tablet, cakes or hot cup ... I do not like in milkshakes or ice cream!


 

5. I love reading, when a book grabs me, I cannot stop reading ... sometimes I do not sleep to continue reading!!
 

6. I can recite all the dialogues from Gone with the wind. I've always dreamed of playing Scarlet O'Hara.

 

7. I collect comics, I enjoy them very much and at my house I've got a huge shelf with hundreds of different collections: from USA to European comic... and Japanese manga, too. I think that comics are another kind of art!

Batman is one of my fvourite characters!

8. I really miss my friends and my family from Algeciras and Granada, but here in Barcelona I have too many people that I want and that are important to me!


 
 
 

9. Sometimes I use a sleeping mask to sleep, because I like everything's dark when I'm sleeping...



10. The next 9 of December I will turned into 28 years ... I feel old... but happy!


 

All the pictures are from weheartit except the one from London and my friends, of course!

And now, I pass this lovely award to Sistinas from Girls that Glitter love the Dark (a lovely and very intelligent friend who I expect to meet in person one day!) and to Little Circe/Esther from Mad World (she writes in spanish but you should try to translate what she writes with google translator; her texts are really cool!)

Thanks for reading and I hope you had fun!!

Something sweet...



Today I went with Micky to a bakery where I had the best truffle cake with mocha in the world! And for the occasion, nothing better to wear than one of my brand new vintage sweaters I bought at the Flea market.


 
 
They had such a good stuff, yummy!!


And then, I bought this wonderful skirt only for 9 €; such a good bargain! I really love it!

You can see I have not done much else today ... well, there's one I made ... I cut my bangs...




I'll show you tomorrow!! Thanks for reading!

Music test & Andy Julia...

Just talking with Laia about fashion and photograhy, I discovered her this great photographer, Andy Julia. I think that I wrote here about his work some time ago, but he's always a great box of inspiration... don't you think?


 
 
 
 
 

I really admire his work, it's just wonderful!

I have a new obsession: the keys. I need to go to Les Encants' market just for search keys with which I can make  myself some accessories ...

Cast no shadow...


I found this week this toy about politics on the street...

Hello everyone! How are you spending your week? Mine is still complete with job search and some friends from Granada who are visiting me. On Monday I had a job interview, and yesterday another, I hope they call me from somewhere ...

I'm a little sad, because you may know that the brand Luella maybe is ending their activities... I find it very sad, is one of my favorite brands ... I hope they find a sponsor soon that kick this problem ... Finally, I don't want to get sad, so I better tell you what I did these days ...

Last night I was at a Japanese restaurant having dinner with my roommates, we ate delicious things and we had a great time!

Salmon Salad


Noodles and sushi...

My lovely roomate Martine with her ebi sushi on her bowl of soy!


Today I was lunching with Maca and Esther, I was in the area of Encants, who had never been, and then I went to the mall with Esther Glories, where later we would meet with Laia.




Laia and I have been shopping, we went to Primark, Fnac, White ... I did some shopping.



False eyelashes from H&M, red bow and socks from Primark, cds from Fnac (The Hives and Florence & The Machine) and two books; they're from the other day but I wanted to show them to you: Fashion Now 2 and Coolhunting!
And we took pictures of us.

Everyone's at it...

Well, as I promise, here's my little review from "El Salón del Manga de Barcelona"... here comes Thursday and Friday. 

On Thursday we open the Sugar Miss T stand at the Salon del Manga de Barcelona. The truth is that the day was exhausting, not having much work, but rather the opposite ... the lack of movement hurts anyone. Anyway, we passed well, and we walked through part of the event ... here is a small sample. Indeed, Misako, Mr. Yu and Sakurai were in our booth a couple of times throughout the day, they loved it!



Esther and Cris in our stand

Some stuff that we were selling.
 

Me! I was wearing:
Pink turtle neck shirt with skulls from Blanco.
Skirt from Bodyline
Pink socks from Baby, the stars shine bright
Pink tea paty shoes from Secret Shop
Black heart shaped bag from Claire's
Black ribbon necklace from Claire's
Feathers' headband from Claire's


Me with Álex, one of the most gorgeous guys I've ever met!


On Friday I played guard duty; I was all day at the salon, not working all the time at the stand but mostly a part of the day; so I had the chance to make more pictures on Thursday ... I watched the exhibition of some inspired Lolita's clothes, then went to a workshop lolita makeup and then a very interesting talk about the vision of Lolita in Japan and Spain.


Miss T and her brother, the funniest boy around the event!! (Yes, he dressed himself as a lolita, so funny!)




Me and Maka (I love this picture!)


Mavako's and Fidel's clothes from the expo, my favourite ones.

Laia, amazing with her ETC jsk!
