I love her steampunk illustrations, aren't they beautiful?

The treasure

I found a treasure while I was working in the book shop. There was a misterious fashion magazine called Storm, inside I found this:

TRANSITION
Underground Resistance

"There will come a time in your life when you will ask yourself a series of questions.
Am I happy with who I am?
Am I happy with the people around me?
Am I happy with what I'm doing?
Am I happy with the way my life is going?
Do I have a life or am I just living?
Do not let these questions restrain or trouble you
Just point yourself in the direction of your dreams
Find your strength in the sound and make your transition.

Do not spend too much time thinking and not enough doing.
Did I try the hardest at any of my dreams?
Did I purposely let others discourage me when I knew I could?
Will I die never knowing what I could have been or could have done?
Do not let these questions restrain or trouble you
Just point yourself in the direction of your dreams
Find your strength in the sound and make your transition.

There will be people who say you can't - you will.
There will be people who say you don't mix this with that and you will say .
There will be people who will say play it safe, that's too risky - you will take that chance and have no fear.
Do not let these questions restrain or trouble you
Just point yourself in the direction of your dreams
Find your strength in the sound and make your transition."

The Unknown Writer


It seems that it is a song, I loved the lyrics. Anyway, we took some photos in Montjuïc with my friend Elisa (the girl in red), she always says that she looks horrible in photos but I think that she looks lovely! These gardens are really beautiful, we should return there in Spring!

Circus and Rococo

I love when normal brands are inspired by the same things that inspire me as a Lolita. I found these interesting images in a book, and what a surprise, I was making two outfits with the same inspiration: circus and rococo!

The two first imges are from Tous, I always hated this brand, and I still don't like what they do, but I loved this photoshoot with Kylie Minogue! I wish these brands could design something similar to their advertising campaigns, sometimes.


And these images are from Paula Cahen d'Anvers, kids sections are always better than adult ones, we also have the right to play and have fun! T_T

And finally, my designs, what do you think? I accept constructive criticism since I still have a lot to learn:

Ética para lobos

http://turningpage.deviantart.com/

- No somos tan diferentes...

- Tu crees?

- Harías lo mismo si estuvieras en mi situación. La moral no nos diferencia, pues no existe tal cosa.

- De veras?

- Lo que nos diferencia es el valor.

- Me crees una cobarde...

- Simplemente, yo estoy dispuesto a arriesgar más que tú. Toda mi vida he combatido, jamás he tenido miedo a la lucha. Cuanto más arriesgo, más puedo ganar.

- Pero también perder...

- Soy valiente, no temo el fracaso.

- Una cosa es no temer el fracaso, y otra ser demasiado temerario.

- De nada sirven ya tus palabras, pues esta vez he ganado yo, Caperucita.

El Lobo se apresuró a regodearse con la sangre y las vísceras. El Cazador había podido liberarse y apuntó hacia el animal.

- Demasiado tarde, Cazador. Caperucita ha muerto, ya no puedes salvarla.

- Todos morimos, Lobo. Lo único que nos diferencia es que unos lo hacen solos y otros en compañía.

En realidad, puede que los lobos no necesiten compañía, pero yo en su lugar me aburriría mucho si no pudiera compartir mis triumfos y mis fracasos con nadie.
