The Whole World and Me

I am not sure how I was able to sleep after watching the documentary "Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief". It's like punch after punch after punch in the stomach while you watch the story of this "religion". There are so many nonsenses that one can hardly believe SO many people follow it and actually believe it!! The testemonies of people who have been members for 15 and 20 years are astonishing, because you can really see the mind control the organization enforces. Many of these high ranking officials and public figures were first seduced by the idea that Scientology brings you good fortune. After a while, you start to believe that everything good that happens to you is because of Scientology. And as you climb the ladder to "clear" you are simultaneosly being trapped, because they know EVERYTHING about you and they are not affraid to use it against you. And then there's the Sea Org, an organization that I had never heard about. Basically, it's Scientology for the common people and a source of cheap labor. Yes, cheap. Bear in mind that even these high ranked officials were paid only 50$ a week!! The violence is unbelievable and I mean physical and psychological violence. And then, to top it all off, is the theory, which is basically the science fiction books L. Ron Hubbard published years before, which is mindblowingly stupid. If people were told at first the so called "creation myth" they would laugh and turn their backs immediatly. But when they are told about this myth they are already in too deep. 

There are many, many more things that this documentary shows, it is a must watch and I highly recommend it. Be sure to be prepared...

I seriously believe that you can never own too many white shirts. White shirts are, for me, the epitome of sophistication. They work well with almost every outfit, they are my rescue piece when I'm lost in my closet and they are that basic piece that never makes an outfit basic. I love them!! I specially love how so many brands, like COS for example, keep reinventing this classic wardrobe item, offering several options for the white shirt lovers out there just like me. From adding a silk detail or opening a cut in the back, or extending the back and shortening the front, the options are now endless reinforcing my belief that you can never own too many.

Below are a few inspirational images, all from my faithfull Pinterest, which prove that there are millions of ways to style the white shirt and always, always, look great!

Hope you feel inspired!

Oh Easter... 

Easter means different things to different people, but there are two things in common with almost everyone:

Easter means long weekend! YEAH!

Easter means food... like, lots of food!

So, keeping with tradition, I ate until I felt like a stuffed cow.

It included a sushi dinner at one of the best sushi restaurants in town with the most breathtaking view ever!!!, sun filled lunches that led to long naps and lazyness, daydreams about Chanel bags and seriously crushing on Kristen Stewart, family lunches with chocolates, and I mean CHOCOLATES!!!! And birthday parties with tasty gins and sweets. All and all, I basically ate non stop for 3 days!

But, even though I threw away my healthy diet and exercise plan for 3 days, it was a happy weekend and I am, proudly!, a happy stuffed cow ahah!
