Which one is your favourite?

My favourite designers from Cibeles Fashion Week

ELISA PALOMINO
She saw a beautiful kimono in a market, and the seller told her that it was owned by the japanese actress Sada Yacco. She was an inspiration for artists as Klimt and Poiret, and now she has inspired again this beautiful collection by Elisa Palomino.

ALMA AGUILAR
She was inspired by the ambiance of a mediterranean hotel. I love both the most glamorous pieces and the most romantic ones, and the vintage touch that she has given to the whole collection.

Here you can see all the designers:

Despertando

Solo era para recordaros que sigo aquí, durmiendo, esperando a que alguien me despierte. No queda mucho tiempo ya, mis ojos quieren abrirse. Y cuando lo hayan hecho, volveremos a castillos abandonados para escuchar las voces de los muertos, veremos batallas que acabaron y que todavía están por empezar, inventaremos melodías que sólo nuestros oídos escucharán, protagonizaremos una película, rescataremos muñecas que se habían extraviado en nuestros recuerdos... Seremos exploradores, guerreros, artistas... Nuestros sueños serán nuestra única frontera, seremos cualquier cosa que queramos ser y haremos que el futuro se convierta en presente.

I just wanted to remember you that I'm still here, sleeping, waiting for someone to wake me up. My eyes want to be opened again... And when they do so, we will come back to abandoned castles to hear the dead's voices, and we will see battles that were finished and still have to come, invent melodies that only our ears will hear, starring in a film, we will rescue dolls that had been lost in our memories ... We'll be explorers, warriors, artists ... Our dreams are our only border, we will be whatever we want and we will make the future becomes present.

(sorry for the bad traduction)

Ballerina

No es precioso? Hay que ver todo el capítulo para entenderlo pero adoro esta escena (no la miréis si sois muy sensibles, yo hoy he tenido pesadillas gore por culpa de Fringe xD)

En fin, feliz año a todos y a seguir tan chalados como siempre!

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:
