now or never


Fur Vest: Regatta • 20USD originally 80USD


Blazer: Index • 20USD (was with 60% off)

There's nothing worst that being poor and sick during the winter sales. At least i was able to find some things (there weren't more pretty things left!) for really good deals. I'm already looking for inspiritation on how to wear the vest. I'm in love with both things and i think that i'll be able to wear them on every season.

lighting bolt


I was going to take better pictures of this manicure but they already started chipping and i'm more in the mood of changing them rather than retouching. I was inspired by Nailside's tutorial and this was more of a "hey, could i do that?" kind of thing lol. Oh and i could. Good for me. I went save with the colours and i have to admit that they remind me a lot of Harry Potter. I'll probably try other designs soon and if you like it make sure to visit this girls blog because she has some amazing scotch tape tutorials.

Sorry if my nails look gross but i'm still sick (yeah, more than a week now! what's wrong with me?!) so i'm totally not in the mood for manicures or even taking decent day light pictures. Please don't kill me, i'm human :). Al least it has given me time to catch up on Gossip Girl♥. I'm adding some "Get the Look" posts in my to-do list because Blair and Serena are worth it.

avril lavigne's black star tour






Nail Polish: China Galze - Laced Up + OPI - Black Shatter

If the pictures aren't clear enough, i went to Avril Lavigne's concert! This was on Friday and i'm really tempted to say "yesterday" but it's pass midnight so i guess that saying it is illegal (and that's a serious crime!). I know she's not of everybody's taste (besides 14 year old girls) but i've been hearing her music since i was really young so i kinda grew up with her. I even went to her first concert in Chile when i was 15. This one was way better and she sung a lot of her old songs which are my favorites♥. Ok, i'm off to sleep now and die because i have the worst throat sore! Too much singing? Maybe.

stay or leave



Nail Polish: Essie - Pink Parka

I was planning in going out today with some friends but we changed it to a coffee at "night" (it's when it's dark but not late at all lol). All this explanation just to say that i'll probably have to cover all this with a huge coat because now, that i'm inside my house, i'm freezing to dead! Gosh i need summer in my life. Even though i now have boots and heels i still don't feel too comfortable on them so i just leave those for going for some drinks or stuff like that (where i want to look pretty and where i'll most definitely be sitting down lol). I think we all have those type of days where we just don't want to think too much of what we wear. Yay for lazy days!

until the very end

I had a post saved to upload on the 13th (the day i went to the movies) but everything was so crazy that i didn't had time to take some pictures. As you may have guessed i went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and i was crazy enough to go to the chilean avant premiere lol. I also made a Deathly Hallows t-shirt (photos soon, it's in the laundry now but you can see a glimpse in this ugly photo my friend took of me) and painted my nails using this tutorial. They started chipping the very next day so i'll probably re-do this other mani i did last year (i have good brushes now so it'll definitely look better). The photos show some "postcard" type of things that the cinema was giving out :) that "HP Parte 2" one is going straight to my door.

lovely lila

I gave you a sneak peek the other day and now i came to tell the story lol. Some months ago Mari from Little Fille was having a giveaway and of course i entered because i've been in crazy love with her headbands since i discovered them. Some weeks passed and while i was in a churro restaurant (yeah i remember!) i saw in twitter that i had won!!!! I screamed a little. Since the one i wanted was sold out i had a hard time choosing another one but in the end Lila won my heart. 500 days later (no, not 500 lol but Far Far Away is probably nearer from the rest of the world than Chile) it arrived!




I love that the colour goes with a lot of outfits! I have wore it a couple times now and when i used it last saturday for a birthday party a lot of girls liked it :). My mom was specially thrilled by the fact that it has real freshwater pearls lol she wanted to steal them and make them a necklace (note: hide the headband). Oh, and i'll make sure to post decent outfit pictures using it because this ones were really quick :). Thank you so much Mari for making this awesome giveaway!!! Make sure to visit her website because the summer collection is simply amazing.

get the look: quinn fabray

First i was going to do this just for myself but i thought that maybe someone else would find it useful. Since i lost weight last year (you have no idea how HUGE i was!) i feel that i have more freedom now to wear clothes so i'm trying everyday to find my "style" lol. One that i love is the one you can see on Glee's Quinn Fabray. I know that it's more difficult to get outfit inspiration from tv characters because they don't dress up as normal people would (it seems that they're always on summer and never get cold lol). But still, if you like it too read below to get inspired :).

overall.
Girly and romantic is what describes better this look. It's about dresses, skirts, cute shoes and color palette that features mostly pastels colors.

the basic.
As you can see from the pictures, it seems that the only thing that Quinn wears are dresses lol. I think that's what i like about her style because in my country girls wear only jeans. Start off with a girly dress and then pair it with a cardigan (short or long, it doesn't matter). The color of the cardigan can be of a similar shade, one that is on the dress (or belt) and also that contrasts (like in the first example).

two pieces.
This is the same as dresses but you can skip the cardigan thing with the top. For colder weather change the top for a sweater.

outerwear.
This was one of the parts i was more intrested in because it's freezing cold in my country right now. Quinn doesn't normally wear jackets and coats because, as i told you before, it's a tv character and people kinda forget that they can feel cold lol. But the one she uses the most are denim jackets which are very practical because they go with a lot of things and add a little bit of casualness (is that even a word?!) to a dress that looks too formal. Blazers are also a great choice (in all colors and patterns) and i fell in love with the bright color coats.

pants.
I think there's only one episode where Quinn wears pants lol it seems that it's not her thing. But i looove wearing jeans so i tried to give this examples my own personal twist. Basically it's all about girly and loose tops paired with skinny jeans.

shoes.
I had a hard time finding pictures where her shoes showed lol. The ones i saw more of are this lace up booties in brown (which are #1 in my wishlist right now), wedges in light tones and ballet flats. For extra girlyness add cute socks that match the outfit (neutral colors always look good). I'm more of a sneaker girl (that were the only shoes i weared in my teenage days so my closet is FULL of them lol) but i think that they'd look good as long as you keep something girly at the top.

accesories.
Sometimes what makes the outfit. For cold and hot weather fedora hats are a must, they're super cute and right now you can find them in a lot of colors. Omg belts! You must have belts! I still have lots of things in my closet that are too big on me so to make them look better i mark my waist with them. Scrafs speak for themselfs :) match patterns and colors with your clothes and they'll always look good. Keep the jewelry simple. As for bags, she wears big ones with lots of cute details. I didn't put it in the picture but i think that chanel style chain bags would look amazing.

winter savior.
It's winter where i live and i sometimes have trouble for dressing up (you need so many layers to battle this cold!). I'm not a fan of arm warmers but i think that they would be amazing under a jacket of coat. Berets are something i were almost every day lol black and white are musts to match any outfit you try. Last but not least, tights and leggings will help you of not turning blue.


And that's all! Uff i feel i wrote a novel. Tell me if you found this useful because i love taking inspiration for outfits from celebrities, movies and stuff like that. They're life saviors when you don't know what to wear :). Who are your style icons? Oh, and did you like the new layout? :) I only did some little changes with the images but the overall look seems completely different. I'm really proud of the background because it wasn't seamless originally and it was a bitch to edit but i think worked out right :D.
