Is It Autumn Yet?

I love the F/W season.
The heat is finally gone. The colors that prevail in nature are divine. And the clothes are more than beautiful.
I just want to bust out my coats already ... and of course, buy more :P

Traducción:
Me encanta la temporada Otoño - Invierno.
El calor desaparece (aunque sea un poco). Los colores a nuestros alrededores son divinos. Y claro, la ropa es más que hermosa.
Yo ya nada más quiero sacar mis abrigos ... y claro, comprar más :P

Back home, "winter" is a term used only for propriety. In fact, during "winter" we still reach highs of 25 Celsius (but we have hit lows of 0 C ... a long, long time ago, but still). So a short sleeved coat, like this one, is actually perfect for our weather / De donde yo soy, el término "invierno" es usado como una formalidad. En realidad, en nuestro "invierno" aún alcanzamos temperaturas de 25 grados (aunque sí hemos llegado a los 0 grados ... hace mucho, mucho tiempo, pero como quiera). Así que un abrigo de mangas cortas, como este, es en realidad perfecto para nuestro clima.

 I've worn this dusty pink leather jacket twice ... it is way too big on me, but I can't bear to part with it / He usado esta chamarra de piel en color rosa viejo dos veces ... está demasiado grande para mí, pero no puedo simplemente deshacerme de ella.

This beauty came home with me for 3 USD, after I found it under a pile of clothes at a flea market / Esta belleza se convirtió en parte de mi clóset por 3 dólares, después de encontrarla bajo un montón de ropa en un flea market 

I got this pig suede jacket from Lord & Taylor at the same flea market as the jacket above ... I got real lucky that day / Compré esta chamarra de pig suede de la tienda Lord & Taylor en el mismo flea market que la chamarra de arriba ... andaba súper suertuda ese día.

 

You've seen this one before, here and here / Esta ya la han visto antes, aquí y aquí

Para el Día de Hoy

So, Hurricane Alex has recently touched land, nearby my hometown ... and the rain we've been getting non-stop has been craaaazy. Classes and work have been suspended tomorrow, and probably on Friday.
Tomorrow's supposed to be worse, hopefully everyone has found a place to protect themselves from the rain.
If you're anywhere near Hurricane Alex's projected path, please take all possible precautions.

Traducción:
El Huracán Alex ya tocó tierra cerca de donde yo soy originalmente, y la lluvia que nos ha tocado a nosotros ha sido algo increíble! Se suspendieron las clases y los trabajos mañana y es probable que el Viernes también se suspendan.
Se supone que mañana va a estar peor que hoy. Ojalá y todos tengan un lugar en donde protegerse de la lluvia intensa.
Si están cerca de donde se supone que va a pegar Alex, por favor cuídense!

Para el Día de Ayer

I am a home-loving person. I used to be a big party animal, but that was only for my first three and a half semesters of college.
Then I just realized that I wasn't really meant to get drunk and whore around every weekend. It got too tiring.
Anyways, last night I went to a party and I tried Tinja's mini tutorial for the smoky eye (even though I used much lighter colors, because of the outfit).
I think it looked alright, and several people asked me if someone else did if for me, so maybe I did get it kind of right (:
And I was feeling so positive about today's game that I wore almost everything by Mexican designers/companies.
Now we'll have to wait until Brasil 2014 for another shot at the World Cup.

Traducción:
A mí me encanta estar en mi casa. En mis primeros tres semestres de universidad, sí era súper party animal, pero eso de andar ligando y empedandome todos los fines me cansó demasiado.
Anyways, ayer fui a la fiesta de una amiga y usé el mini tutorial de Tinja (del blog "Yours Truly Forevermore, Brangwen") para el smoky eye (aunque yo usé colores mucho más pálidos, por el outfit).
Según yo me quedó más o menos, pero varias personas me preguntaron si alguien más me maquilló, así que supongo que sí me quedó algo bien jaja
Además, me sentía tan confiada con el juego de hoy que me puse casi pura ropa de diseñadores/compañías Mexicanas. Pero ni modo.
En Brazil 2014 tendremos otra oportunidad para [por fin] obtener la Copa Mundial.

I started cleaning out my Shoe Closet already.

Unfortunately, I seem to have some sort of attachment to every single pair, especially the one I'm wearing here.

I used these shoes for the first (and up until today, the last) time way back in 2004, for my sophomore Homecoming Dance.

I rescued them from the donation basket by wearing them today and swearing to not ignore them again ... we'll see how that goes.

Traducción:

Ya empezé a limpiar mi clóset de zapatos.

Desafortunadamente, parece ser que tengo algún estilo de cariño con cada par, especialmente el que estoy usando en estas fotos.

La primera --y última vez-- que usé estos zapatos fue en el 2004, para mi baile de Homecoming cuando estaba en mi primer año de prepa.

Así que decidí que para "salvarlos" de la caja de donaciones, los usaría hoy y que no los volveré a ignorar ... ya veremos que pasa.

Para el Día de Hoy

I am super excited because this summer we will be moving into a new house.

Right now, my parents, my brother and I live in a small apartment that was meant to be for my brother and myself only.

However, after things got real bad in my hometown, my parents came over here.

These photos were taken at the new house.

It's still not completely finished, but we're getting there.

Yay!!!

Oh, and btw, I got tired of the dark green background ...

Shirt: got it at Target

Jeans: Seven7
Sandals: Sam Edelman
Bag: Vintage (flea market find!)

ummmm....

So, I should be doing my makeup right now so that when my boyfriend gets here, we could just go the our get-together with our swimming "family".
But, alas, I am way too lazy.
And just thinking about the fact that I have to wake up early tomorrow for Social Service doesn't inspire me to do anything at all.
Oh well, at least I'm wearing my comfiest, suuuuuper wide-legged trousers (:
They're truly perfect... I'll post pictures later (or tomorrow).

On another note, this was today's outfit:

Striped blouse: Kitson
Skirt: Tracy Evans (flea market)
Rainboots: coach (I know, we've seen them too much already)
Tights: I have no idea, I got them in NYC

Look! That's my dog, Guille (if you've ever heard of Mafalda, you know who Guille is), making a guest appearance on the blog.
He's five years old already (:
