The Whole World and Me: January 2014

I used to have a blog...

Thursday, January 30, 2014 Papillon 0 Comments Category : Busy , Life , missing my blog

Now it just seems like a faint memory of a space where I wrote all my thoughts, shared my views and feelings and did inspiring image posts. God! Why oh why is this happening? I hate not having time, and mind!, for my blog; I hate not having time for anything!

This is how my friends know I'm busy, you know? If my online self (read: facebook, instagram, pinterest, tumblr and blog) are quiet, it means I am in one of those vortexes when there's really no time to... well, nothing! I don't even know what I do the whole day!!! You know that feeling?

I hope to be back soon, my mind is bursting from not letting anything out for so long and plus, I am reading an awesome book (for this I always have time due to my daily train ride), I've seen wonderful movies lately (that's what I do before falling asleep at my couch to wake up all mangled at 5 am) and I've bough amazing things on sales (c'mon, a girl always finds time to shop!!).

So here's to finding the time for the important things!

Be back soon!

The Girl you want to be next Spring-Summer

I almost fell of my chair when I saw the Alexander Wang's "Parental Advisory" t-shirt on the runway. I want it so bad it should be illegal!!!!

Now, with a complete set, background and mood, I don't want the t-shirt... I want to be that girl! I want to be the Wang Girl and girls, that's the secret of good advertising and great fashion, isn't it?

So clap, clap Mr. Wang for making this girl (and I'm sure a lot more all over the world) drool all over your collection! I'm pretty sure this shirt, and this collection, will fly from stores, windows and shelves! Great ad campaign!!!

In the meantime, I continue to sight and whine for Spring... Are we there yet?!?!

Do one thing every day that scares you!

A great mantra for 2014, don't you think?

Today I did something that scares the shit out of me!! Seriously! I still can't believe I did it, but I did it! I didn't listen to that little voice inside telling me "Well... you can always do it tomorrow..." or "Are you sure you want to do this? What if you are rejected?". I silenced it immediately because you know what?! If you don't do it, you will never know and I rather know it then wonder constantly "what if...".

So here's to be bold and dare to go beyond our comfort zone, because seriously... Life is just too short to let fear freeze us from living!

Be happy and bold!!

Is it Spring already?

As last year (here), I'm already sighting (and whining!) for Spring and sunny days.. I mean, enough with the rain already!!! I hate the rain, even more than cold! And although I do love a great winter coat, I miss the relaxed days of summer dresses and sandals... Oh Spring.... So close and yet still so far away.

While everyone is going crazy with sales, I'm finding inspiration for a new wardrobe, thinking of fashion resolutions for this new year: More high heels (girls, we really need to step it up!), more daring, more skirts, more rock and grunge, less is more, but more is also great sometimes...

One collection really caught my eye this season, Christopher Kane - feminine dresses, flowers presented in a wonderful modern way, sweatshirts and silk skirts... Do I need to say more? Although I wouldn't wear the whole collection, I would certainly live a whole season with the looks below.

Fashion fairies of the world... is there anyway these looks can fly directly into my closet, pleaseeeee?
