I'm coolhunting with my cat.

Last Saturday I attended a CoolHunting seminar in Mexico City and it was really fun. I have to admit that I don't usually like (OK, I hate) going to new stuff but this was a good idea. The instuctor, Juan Salazar from the trend agency NovenoEFE, had tons of knowledge to share and I met really good and interesting people. It was worth it for learning and networking.

Since it was a CoolHunting thing I decided to wear a cool thing. So I wore my new ASOS cat sweater that I've been longing to wear. Also, I did an experiment with some braids in my hair that turned out really cool.

I love my new cat.

And I can tell he loves me back.


Braids from the side.

From the back.


If you want to learn more about Juan, the seminar, or Cool Hunting in general (and read Spanish), you should go here and here. And I want to thank Ebbani and Ceci, form CoolHunterMx for everything!

My new friend Paulina, the cat and me.

Refreshments by Delirio, a delicious restaurant in Mexico City.


*Español: El sábado pasado fui a un seminario de Cool Hunting organizado por CoolHunterMX y la verdad es que aunque no soy muy fan de hacer cosas nuevas, valió muchísimo la pena. Juan Salazar, de la agencia de tendencias NovenoEFE fue el instructor y es impresionante lo mucho que sabe de todo lo que es cool en el mundo. Como dije, no me encanta lo nuevo pero aprendí bastantes cosas y conocí a gente súper interesante.

H&M is finally here! OK, almost.

Remember how excited I was last week about ASOS shipping everywhere? Well, today I'm super excited beacause the H&M Mexico website is now online! This means the store is coming, so soon... I am so excited for my future shopping!

The only bad thing, it's in a mall, Santa Fé, a place super far away, and I hate it. Anyway, I'm already planning a trip and what I'm planning on buying. Since this fall is all about creature sweaters (I already ordered this one from ASOS), I want this bat one so baaaad:


 
Then I want these booties to wear with dresses, skirts and colored tights:

And last, but not least in my (so far) short list, pretty printed pants:


Of course, as soon as I enter the store my lists fade and I'll end up spending more money than planned, but that's the fun in shopping!


*Español:
Así como me emocioné por que ASOS tiene free shipping a México, me causa mucha emoción saber que pronto abrirá la tienda de H&M, ¿y todavía más emocionante? Ya está la página y los precios están increíbles, siento que hasta más baratos que en Estados Unidos. Odio ir a Santa Fé, pero sinceramente no me importa tanto si puedo comprar todas las cositas en mi lista. Obviamente llego a la tienda y compro otras y más cosas de lo incluído en mi lista... Pero qué más da, es la diversión de comprar.

Acceptance: Courtesy of ASOS

Denial, anger, depression, bargaining, and acceptance are the stages a person goes through after an important loss. It may sound dramatic, but after moving back to Mexico I was extremely sad about the lack of online shopping I was about to experience.

And then I found out that ASOS has free, yes FREE, shipping everywhere and was super relieved. Yes, it takes FOREVER and I hate that... But that's just a small price to pay when I can get everything I want delivered to my country.

And now that accpetance has come to me, here are the fall trends I'm planning on getting through this amazing online store.

Baroque
Excess was everything at Dolce & Gabbana. Balmain and Lanvin also presented oppulence for fall.
ASOS shorts

ASOS headband.
Leather
For Fall/Winter, everything leather is in: dresses, pants, hats, EVERYTHING. My favorites on the runway were Acne and Isabel Marant, I will try to recreate their looks with this skirt.

ASOS Premium skirt.
Peplum (Yes, still)
It seems like peplums aren't going anywhere yet, but I couldn't find the ideal one for me. Until now. This one with a cat print represents the naïf chic esthetic I love so much.

Influence peplum top.
Now I just need to keep working in order to afford these items!


*Español
Al regresar a vivir a México sufrí una pequeña depresión porque ya me había acostumbrado a comprar por internet cualquier cosa que se me ocurriera. De verdad, no sabía que iba a hacer al limitarme a lo que venden aquí.
Entonces descubrí que ASOS tiene envíos GRATIS a todo el mundo y pude descansar y ser feliz de nuevo. Aunque sí, se tardan y piensas que te han robado, pero no pasa nada. Entonces me obsesioné y me puse a buscar qué de las tendencias de otoño necesito en mi closet.
La primera es toda la opulencia y lo barroco que vimos, principalmente en Dolce & Gabbana, me encantaron los shorts y la diadema de flores.
La piel también viene con todo, yo siempre he sido fan, pero ahora ya no me sentiré como una loca motociclista. Sobre todo con la falda que está suuuper de niña.
Y por último el peplum, que sigo sin descubrir cómo se dice en español. Me encanta esta tendencia pero no había encontrado el adecuado hasta que dí con este de gatitos.
Y pues nada, a seguir trabajando para pagar todo lo que quiero.
