Terrence

Son las 0:14 y los lunes no son tan malos. Con la canción más reciente de Lana del Rey, "Terrence Loves You" - la cual me atrevo a decir que es una de mis favoritas ahora- viene un sentimiento nostálgico medio-Morrisey que solo puede significar que el verano ya casi se acaba. Estos últimos tres meses parecían como una eternidad pero al menos logré obtener suficiente material fotográfico en mi 35mm kodak para llenar una "inspiration board". (He pasado suficientes horas en pinterest como para confiar que cualquier DIY me saldrá increíble). En fin, tres piezas de este outfit son vintage, los mom jeans son una de las mejores adquisiciones recientes y bueno...superstars.

It's 0:14 and Mondays aren't so bad. With the recently released song by Lana del Rey, "Terrence Loves You"- which I dare to say that is one of my absolute favorites by the artist- comes a very mellow (almost Morrisey-like) feeling that could only mean that summer is over. These past three months of summer migh have seemed like an eternity but at least I got enough footage on my 35mm kodak to cover up my soon-to-be inspiration board. (I've spent way too many hours on pinterest, enough to actually make myself believe that I'm capable of doing any DIY project). 

Three pieces of this outfit are vintage, the mom jeans are probably one of the best purchases I've made recently, and...superstars because why not. 

Jeans - Pull&Bear

Wishlist No.1

Últimamente mi lista de deseos ha ido creciendo inhumanamente (?). Y es que esta lista que creé en Polyvore se asemeja bastante a todo lo que compraría sólo y únicamente si canjeara múltiples gift cards o cupones (o la lotería). En estas vacaciones se me ha dado por crear decenas de listas de deseos: maquillaje, cosméticos, zapatos, ropa, actividades, sueños, películas, series y hasta de mis instagrammers favoritos.  En fin, trataré de compartir varias listas lo que queda de este mes. 

Disclaimer: *la gorra negra de cuero se la puede conseguir en el Mercado Artesanal de Quito. *los que me conocen saben que mis creepers sufrieron un accidente, por lo que tengo la necesidad de conseguir otros a toda costa.

Lately, my wishlist has been growing in a very inhuman way. The thing is that this list that I created on Polyvore is pretty similar to everything I would purchase ONLY if I redeemed multiple gift cards or coupons (or won the lottery). I have created dozens of lists this summer: makeup, shoes, cosmetics, clothes, activities, dreams, films, tv series, and even top instagrammers. I’ll try to share with you some of my lists this month.

July No. 1

Los cambios de clima de estos últimos días veraniegos en Quito han sido casi proporcionales a los mood swings de un cáncer y un géminis combinados. Un día de estos opté por usar una blusa "cut out" de Dear One,  con unos high waisted negros, mis adidas superstars y un bolso negro CK ya que añade un poco de good-drama al outfit.

The changes of the weather this past few summer days in Quito have been pretty much equivalent to the mood swings of a cancer/gemini combination. One of these days, I decided to wear a "cut out" blouse from DearOne along with some high waisted jeans, adidas superstars and a Calvin Klein bag (the perfect addition of good-kinda-drama to the outfit).

Top - Dear One

Bag - Calvin Klein

Jeans - Pull&Bear

Sneakers - Adidas

DISCLAIMER: no vintage finds in here

Le Couleur - Femme.

Últimamente, mi dashboard en tumblr es básicamente jugos detox, cejas, el look de maquillaje más natural posible y paredes blancas. Todos los caminos llevan al minimalismo, y en efecto, después de tanto tiempo de ausencia en el blog, decidí tomar ese camino. Era uno de esos días donde el clima no se decidía, sin embargo, opté por usar un chunky sweater de color mostaza, unos high waisted jeans negros, mis docs, y una chaqueta negra vintage. 

My tumblr's dashboard is basically dominated by pictures of detox juices, "no-makeup" makeup looks, full brows and white walls. Today, it seems like  all the roads lead to minimalism and after a long period of time without posting a single thing, I decided I would take that path too. It was one of those days where the weather would not make up its mind, however, i decided to wear a mustard chunky sweater, black high waisted jeans, my docs and a black vintage jacket.

Feeling Violet

It wasn't until a few days ago that I realised that 2k14 is almost over, and as cliché as it sounds, time really flies by...with College finals, Christmas and New Years coming up, the excitement is just too much. As I write this, I'm getting that melancholic yet comforting feeling of December, which totally reminds me of the classic "Blue" by Bill Mack. However, I found time this week to shoot a little something. 

The blouse I'm wearing is by DearOne (lovely local shop). A blouse that goes by the name of Pure White Print - how pretty the name is though - in shades of violet, hence the name of my look. I'm trying to find the coolest words to describe the awesomeness of this blouse...the feel to it, the print, the lightness of it, the colors...it's safe to say that it was kind of love at first sight.

I paired this with some black high waisted jeans, my favourite black ankle boots and some lovely quasi-rounded shades.

Blouse - Dear One

Jeans - Bershka

Boots - Zara

Shades - Aldo

How Soon Is Now

Back to basics black.

Temperatures aren't particularly warm these days in Quito, su unfortunately an umbrella and a warm scarf are essential. Admittedly, I wanted to show the lovely world map wall poster I got on a shoot, so here it goes. Also, I can't seem to find the excuse to NOT wear my hat, which I've been using practically everytime I go out (not school obviously).  Moreover, I wanted to put a whole black outfit together but my heart belongs to those army green skinny trousers from Pull & Bear, so the "all black everything" thing isn´t going on in this look. Finally I managed to wear this vintage black chiffon blazer that was formerly from my mom, haha, with a floral print sweatshirt beneath that balanced the whole look. On a side note: The Smiths is pretty much everything I've been listening to lately, (hence the title). 

La temperatura no está tan cálida especialmente en estos días en Quito, así que por desgracia un paraguas y una bufanda caliente son esenciales. Es cierto, yo quería mostrar el póster del mapamundi que mandé a hacer para mi pared, así que aquí va. Además, me parece que no puede encontrar la excusa para no usar mi sombrero, que he estado usando prácticamente cada vez que salgo (no la escuela, evidentemente). Por otra parte, yo quería ponerme todo un outfit negro , pero mi corazón pertenece a los army green skinny jeans de Pull & Bear, así que la cosa "all black everything" no estará por ahora. Finalmente logré llevar esta chaqueta vintage de gasa negro que fue anteriormente de mi mamá, jaja, con una sudadera con estampado floral debajo, la cual da el balance perfecto a éste look. En una nota lateral: The Smiths es todo lo que he estado escuchando últimamente, (He ahí el título).

Casual Wish-listing

Is adding clothes to my wishlist a talent yet?  Been looking for inspo these past weeks, so decided to go to one of the most popular but affordable shop among fashion bloggers... sheinside.com 

Some of the things I've been putting my eye on (and constantly clicking on) are these gorgeous sweaters. Being a full time student leads me to having just the right amount of money to spend on clothes and the sales on this site makes it so easy for my wallet. I pretty much put my hands on everything burgundy (hence the title of the blog, duh), besides, the Dios sweatshirt is lovely for spring, the blue sweater's perfect for winter.. and I know we're just about to hang in & out with summer but hey, $19,82 is a total bargain.

Plus, my spring/summer essentials are on point at this site. Floral print, stripped long-sleeves, lovely pastel oversized coat and last but definitely not least.. burgundy velvet dress because, why NOT?

Then of course, the lovely jackets I casually found on my endless wishlist at SheInside. Some people have been asking me where to get a nice parka, at an affordable price, because let's be real, they're all above 70 bucks and such... and here's the better option mates, retailing at $45.80. A massive need for a human being is to own a fur coat, and this is the perfect one.

If you want to check these products out, just click on each of them. Besides all of these amazing designs, they have accesories, jewelry.. etc. Hint: the scarves are on point. xx
