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

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

Generation Y

Still can't get over the Emmy's last night (round of applause for Queen Jessica Lange and the whole AHS and OITNB cast), basically that's the reason why I took one of  Madison Montgomery's quote from Coven: "I am a millennial. Generation Y. Born between the birth of AIDS and 9/11, give or take. They call us the Global Generation". One moment of silence. I created this outfit by putting this lovely top from DearOne, some high waisted pants from Bershka and black creepers. I'm in some deep love with this top since it has this lovely ethnical print but at the same time is very lightweight making it perfect for summer (even though its ending already).

Todavía no supero la noche de los Emmy Awards (ronda de aplausos para la reina Jessica Lange y el resto del cast de American Horror Story y OITNB), bàsicamente elegí titular a este look así por una frase de Madison Montgomery en Coven: "I am a millennial. Generation Y. Born between the birth of AIDS and 9/11, give or take. They call us the Global Generation". Un minuto de silencio.
Decidí ponerme un crop top de DearOne (se llama Tiempo de Bolero, heart eyes emoji), jeans de talle alto y creepers. Lo mejor de este crop top, aparte de su hermoso ethnical print, es que es super liviana, haciendo de este outfit perfecto para el verano (al menos en Quito). Disfruten.

Instagram Roundup

@theandreap96

Seems like the hype for #Selfie by the Chainsmokers is on point these days, not a big fan though. But, I'm a proud instagrammer. 

I apologise for another week of no-outfit post. These months have been all about busy things, busy schedules, and tough decisions about the future, hopefully April's going to be a breeze of fresh air and will result in multiple lookbook worth posts. 

Soon. 

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

diy #1: The XX band shirt

 Hello world,

Today, I finally decided to look for old plain black shirts through my wardrobe to see if I could throw a little The XX logo in there with some acrylic paint I had. I was inmediately inspired by the music that was playing throughout the whole process. *Sunset - The XX --HINT--

These were the results.:)

Necklace - ASOS

Black Top - DIY 

High Waisted Shorts - Thrift Shop

Socks - Pull&Bear

Chucks - Converse
