10 reasons 2012 didn't suck that much

This year has been really hard for me, definitely not my best but still amazing... Here are some of the reasons 2012 didn't suck that much.

1. This was tough because #2 was almost #1, but I have to say that getting my MFA was the best thing that happened this year. My dad would kill me if it wasn't.
2. The Pulp concert in Mexico City with some of my most favorite people in the whole world.You know who you are.
3. To see my name published on a printed magazine was beyond exciting/cool/unreal.
4. Finally having (semi) real jobs that I love, love, love.
5. My trip to NYC with my parents. Specially getting to see the Chanel, Prada/Schiaparelli and FIT exhibits.
6. My new Twitter friends like Gina from High on Fashion and BoticaPop. Twitter's weird. 
7. Being able to visit ELLE Mexico. It gave me so much perspective on what I want to do with my life.
8. Living in the same city with my cousin was both fun and weird. My last six months living in Savannah were something else.
9. Finding a truly amazing vintage store in Mexico City (with my other cousin).
10. And in general being (again, a semi) adult with responsibilities and not being able to go on vacation. I know it sounds kind of weird but it means something for me.

And to close this weird year, I got an internship at a magazine and I'll be working in the fashion department! So, I'll keep you posted on how a magazine really works and if it is my true calling. Uneven years have always been my favorite and I'm sure this will be one of those. It has to.

My outrageous, crazy, un-real holiday wishlist!

What kind of fashion fan/shopaholic would I be if I didn't have a wishlist? Don't worry, I'm a good one... This list took a long time to be created and it is REALLY well thought. (It includes creatures, in case you were wondering.)

First of all, if I had to choose just one gift and forget the others: the Charlotte Olympia cat slippers, I am crazy, obsessed and absolutely in love with these shoes. Even if I had them I don't know if I could wear them because I love them sooo much and wouldn't want them to get dirty. The black ones are my favorite pair but I also want the glitter AND the leopard-print-ones... AND, since we're daydreaming I'll take the silk red ones, too.

The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde: what can I say? Ilove his quotes, he's a genius and the book cover is just amazing.

Grace, A Memoir is a memoir written by one of my role models, Grace Coddington the creative mind behind Vogue magazine. A true genius. At BookMarc you can get it signed for only $35. Just saying...

A Céline purse. Do I really need to explain?



My mom and I are just totally in love with this MiuMiu dress. I just adore the colors and the collar, super lady-like and playful at the same time.

Chanel Set of 3 books and/or the Little Black Jacket book... and a Chanel LBJ to go with it.The three volumes include Chanel; Chanel Jewellery; and Chanel Perfume. The Little Black Jacket Book features the same pics I went to see this summer while in New York, as you may recall. Or not. Anyway, a perfect gift for me.

MiuMiu studded suede sneakers... MiuMiu is one of my favorite brands ever and I love this pair of sneakers because they have some glam studs and are totally neutral.

This Tibi Lobster Sweater is just very me, don't you think?

I know the list is quite long (and expensive), I just got really excited. And I know I'm kind of late for Santa, but I don't mind if he hits the sales and gets me my gifts in January. I hope you had an amazing Christmas! I sure did.

Sea Creatures

I've been working, working, working... NONSTOP! That's the reason for my absence in my beloved blog. I kind of tried to relax on a trip to Cancun with my parents and my friend Cecilia but it seems I'm lazy but not the relaxing type. I even had some spa time, delicious, but even then I couldn't. I was writing this post in my mind while getting a hot-stone-massage.

Anyway, I had a great time and got to wear my new turtle swimsuit. You probably already know how much I love creatures on my clothes and this was the ultimate finding. I'm not sure if I look like a little girl or just a crazy-manrepeller-wannabe-grown-woman, but I love, love, love it. Maybe I'm over bikinis. Maybe not.

*Español:
No he podido escribir, lo odio pero he tenido muchísimo trabajo y me he enfermado cientos de veces. Pero bueno, me pude ir unos días a Cancún con mis papás y Ceci, mi amiga. Traté de disfrutar (lo logré) y relajarme (no tanto) al máximo, pero me di cuenta que para ser una persona considerada floja no soy muy buena para eso de la relajación... Mi papá incluso me invitó dos horas en el spa y mientras me daban un masaje de piedras calientes pensaba en como iba a escribir este post. 
Lo mejor creo que fue por fin poder usar mi traje de baño de tortugas. Lo amo con locura como cualquier tipo de prenda con animalitos. No sé si parece que traigo un traje de niña, pero qué más da. Repito que lo amo. ¿Será que dejaré los bikinis para siempre? Habrá que ver.
