I am not going anywhere...

I'm going on holiday for about a week and my Internet access will be slim to none, so there won't be any posts for the rest of the week. I'll be back soon!.

In the meantime check out my previous posts.

One kiss, two hugs and three times the love <3

-------------------------------------------------

Me voy de vacaciones por una semana y mi acceso a Internet será limitado o mejor dicho no tendré, así que no habrán posts por el resto de la semana. !Regresare pronto!.

Un beso, dos abrazos y tres veces el amor <3

Move Around, experience freedom


I'm a sucker for fashion and bikes. I've been wanting a bike for a while now, but as I came across with Copenhagen Cycle Chic, the want have become necessity. I just think It's cooler to get to your destination in a bicycle.

Soy fanática de la moda y las bicicletas. He estado queriendo una bicicleta por ya algún tiempo, pero al encontrarme con Copenhagen Cycle Chic, el querer se ha vuelto necesidad. Creo que es más cool llegar a tu lugar de destino montada en una bicicleta.

This bike is fabulous.

Let the Music Play


Summertime could easily translate to musictime.

There are so many concerts/festivals going on all over the world. Let's take as example the United State of America. A couple of Summer concerts that are currently going on are:


El tiempo de verano podría fácilmente traducirse a tiempo de música. Hay tantos conciertos/festivales sucediendo alrededor del mundo. Cojamos como ejemplo a los Estados Unidos de América. Algunos ocurriendo actualmente son:

The Nylon Summer Music tour 2008 (U.S.A): She wants Revenge, Be your own pet, The Virgins, Switches.

Warped Tour 2008: Gym Class Heroes, Katy Perry, Say Anything, Rise Against, and many many others.

But the one I personally would love to go to takes place in a little small town in Somerset, England
called Glastonbury. The Glastonbury Festival.

Glastonbury Festival 27th, 28th, 29th June 2008

Glastonbury Festival Is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world. And it starts tomorrow Friday. It's an entire weekend event. Year after year I see on tv and on the Internet all these kids having the time of their lives and actually enjoying all the mud surrounding everything because of rain. I unfortunately can't go because well I live halfway around the world and that makes it quite difficult, so until the day I can go arrives, I shall live it trough pictures and some major tunage.


El Festival Glastonbury es el gran campo y festival de arte en el mundo.
Comienza mañana Viernes. Dura todo el fin de semana. Años tras año veo en la televisión y Internet todos estos chicos llenos de lodo y disfrutando de la vida. Desafortunadamente vivo en el otro lado del mundo y no podré asistir. Pero algún día iré, asi que hasta que llegue ese dia, viviré la experiencia mediante fotos y mucha
música
.

Then there were Bentos...



Random: I want this Toast Messenger. You write/ draw anything you want and it will appear on the toast.

This piece of fabulous machinery got me thinking how much i love inventive cuisine. I love creativity and food, combine both and congratulations you’ve reached perfection. Of course the Japanese already got that down to a science. I mean Bento boxes are fabulous, they are lunch boxes, much like the type of box you take your lunch to school in; of course people have taken it to the point that it becomes art.


Esta fabulosa maquinaria me puso a pensar en cuanto adoro la comida inventiva. Adoro la creatividad y la comida, combinas ambas y felicidades has alcanzado la perfección. Claro ya los japoneses saben de esto. Las llamadas cajas Bento son fabulosas, son loncheras, similar al tipo de caja en la cual llevas tu comida al colegio y claro hay gente que ya ha convertido esto en arte.



Note: "Bento" is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in
Japanese cuisine. Bento can be very elaborately arranged. (Wikipedia)

Nota: "Bento" Es una ración de comida sencilla para llevar, bastante común en la cocina japonesa. Por lo general la comida se adorna de diversas formas (Wikipedia)

The food is often decorated to look like people, cartoon characters, animals, etc.


Comúnmente la comida es decorada para parecerse a gente, caricaturas, animales, etc.




There's this awesome book called "Face Food" by Christopher D Salyers, and the title is pretty much self explanatory, it's food made into characters. It's incredible, and amazing of how much effort people put into making these.


Hay un libro fantástico llamado "Face Food" by Christopher D Salyers
,
y trata basicamente de comida convertida en caricaturas.
Es increíble la dedicación que gente pone en hacer esto.

Music, good for the soul

Currently listening to: Gansta's Paradise by Coolio (Hahaha!)


Deborah Harry
From the band Blondie


Music. Pleasure for the hearing. I love it. I live it. I own it.
When I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I'm blah or just want to move.
I turn to my best friend, my tunes.
Myself I'm more of a rock gal, but anything musical is good in my book.





I'm reading the book Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis (Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman), and so far I'm hooked, guy has had a quite unbelievable life. While the book progresses he mentions the different styles of the time (Leather jackets, platform shoes, etc) and it got me thinking, how much i love the rocker look. That old school rocker-ish look. It's more wild and easier than the looks most musicians have now.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Estoy leyendo el libro Scar Tissue por Anthony Kiedis (Líder de la banda Red Hot Chili Peppers), y hasta ahora estoy encantada, el tipo ha tenido una vida inimaginable. Mientras el libro avanza, Kiedis menciona los distintos estilos de la época (Chaquetas de Cuero, zapatos de plataforma, etc) y me puso a pensar, de cuanto me gusta el look rockero. El look de los rockeros de décadas anteriores. Es un estilo más fácil y salvaje que los músicos de ahora.

Summer, after all, is a time when wonderful things can happen...



Oh summer!. The spare time, the no obligations, the chance to do whatever you want whenever you want. Holiday!. Over here it's pretty much summer the whole year round, so it's always warm. But it's always a bit more hot in summertime (way hotter!).
I made an example of what i would take for a week on the beach. I like to keep it simple, not over pack, you are there to relax anyway but of course always stylish.


Verano!. El tiempo libre, no obligaciones, la oportunidad de hacer lo que quieras cuando quieras. Vacaciones!. Por acá es verano basicamente el año entero, asi que siempre esta caliente. Pero siempre es un poquito más caluroso en época de verano (Mucho más caliente!). Hice un ejemplo de lo que llevaría para pasar una semana en la playa. Me gusta ser simple, no empacar demasiado, estas ahi para descansar pero siempre claro mantenerse con estilo.


These items would be in my suitcase:
Nina Ricci & Emilio Pucci & Tibi dress, Miu Miu & Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, tote bag, Tara Matthews & Emilio Pucci bikinis, Ipod and Tetran headphone winder


I would also include a loose fitting white tee, denim short shorts & a good book (Not pictured).

Incluiría tambien una camisa blanca, jeans shorts y un buen libro (No fotografiado).


I love this dress. I really do. It's perfect for summer. I can see myself sipping cocktails on a terrace overlooking the ocean.

Adoro este vestido. Es perfecto para verano. Puede verme bebiendo cockteles en una terraza dando frente al óceano.

Kurt Cobain's Limited Edition Converse/ Chanel Lust

Limited Edition Chuck Taylor high tops in black. (It has script by Kurt himself)
[More info. on the converse website]

Converse is paying tribute to the deceased Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, with a limited edition series of custom converse shoes. They will be released this summer as part of the shoe company’s year-long 100th Anniversary "Welcome to the Converse Century" celebration.

I want this high top, love the old/rockish feeling to it. Converse shoes look better worn out.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Converse le rinde tributo al fallecido líder de Nirvana Kurt Cobain, con una serie edición limitada de tenis Converse. Serán lanzados este verano como parte de la celebración del 100 aniversario del "Bienvenidos al Converse del Siglo".

Quiero este high top, me encanta la senseacion vieja/rokera que tiene. Los Converse se ven mejor gastados.



I was watching the behind the scenes photoshoot video featuring Blake Lively and Leighton Meester. Fabulous clothes and all that jazz, but what caught my eye was these Chanel heels that Blake had on. I even "screenshot it". There beautiful. Look at that heel, the double C's.
Looove.

Dvd of the week: Across the Universe



A dock worker Jude travels to America in the 1960s to find his estranged father. There he falls in love with sheltered American teenager Lucy. When her brother Max is drafted to fight in the Vietnam War, they become involved in peace activism. The film title and main characters are named after various songs by The Beatles.
www.Imdb.com


This movie had so much "hype" surrounding it. Usually when movies are so talked and praised about you fill yourself with expectations, hoping that your imagination will be fulfilled. Most of the time they're disappointing [Garden State, im looking at "you". I mean Natalie Portman is adorable, but seriously what the hell?], long, senseless, you try to find the positive but it just fails.

But then you come across one that marks your life forever. For me this is the movie "Across the Universe". I mean the soundtrack is simply amazing. I made copies for all my friends. They adored it and are thankfull for it. I definitely recommend it. You should also check out the soundtrack. Fantastic.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Un trabajador de minas Jude viaja a Norteamerica en los años 1960, para encontrar a su padre. Ahi se enamora de una resguardada
joven norteameicana Lucy. Cuando su hermano Max es reclutado para pelear en la guerra de Vietnam, ellos se involucran en son de paz.
El titulo y personajes de la pelicula son llamados por varias canciones de The Beatles."



Esta película tuvo mucho revuelo a su alrededor. Usualmente cuando las películas son tan mencionadas y alabadas, te llenas te expectativas, esperando que tu imaginacion sea llenada. La mayoria de veces son decepcionantes [Garden State, te estoy mirando. Digo Natalie Portman es adorable, pero en serio ¿que rayos?], largos, sin sentido, tratas de buscar el lado positivo pero de nada sirve.

Pero un día te atraviesas con una que marca tu vida para siempre. Para mi esta pelicula fue "Across the Universe" (A traves del Universo). El soundtrack es simplemente asombroso. Hice copias para todos mis amigos. Lo adoraron y me lo agradecieron totalmente. Definitivamente se los recomiendo. Tambien deberian de chekear el soundtrack. Fantástico.
