hallo!
I'm a lazy arse and I haven't updated anything about this blog, the thing is... I DON'T KNOW IF SOMEONE'S READING ME! lol

Right now I'm fixing my nail polish because tomorrow I have this great final of my make up class. I'm going to use one of Vivienne Westwood runways as a referent, I wanted to do something more edgy but as I'm just starting to learn how to use makeup, my professor told us to pick a simple look. This is the outfit I'm going to wear, i need to look alike this girl, so in my test I will have 45 minutes to arrange my hair and face with this look.

As I do not own any of Vivienne's clothes (well just two pair of shoes) I will have to imitate the clothes, so I'm using a fake leather long black jacket with one of my dad's pins of the Army, A similar skirt with the same shape (I think I bought it on ZARA) And any t-shirt with a goofy print on it. I'm missing the scarf and I do not have a looking alike one. And I don't know what to do about the heels, because last friday I fell and my sprained ankle hurts a lot.


Okay, and last but not least... I want to show you some things I've got in a Vintage Store I love. The name of the store is Mamá Nostalgia

Well, hello!

I'm updating this but I must confess I'm not in a good mood. I'm not doing good at College because my lack of motivation towards life or whatever... I mean, I enjoy Photography, it makes me happy but sometimes I get to think I'm not as good as I should. I want to be successful, you know? I want people to know me, to respect what I do... But sometimes I doubt I deserve it.

Today I was supposed to have a final on College but I was late and I had lots of problems so I couldn't make it. Then I came home and rest a bit. Then I started making some product photos. Yesterday I bought some cupcakes, chocolates and macaroons at lovely Alice's Cherries, and so far the result is this:

I have to other photos to release, I will update this entry later...Maybe. I also asked my fiance to cook a fancy pasta for me, so I could photograph it, the result was good I think, I will be posting some pictures about that later. For now I will show you a draft:

For now I'm leaving, gotta have my beauty sleep, lol.

Loli-Valentine!

I promised I was going to update my Loli-day on Saturday. This time I'm going to write about what I fancy about loli-days. And i'm going to post some pics of the Lolita-Shooting showing you some of the Lolita Styles. If you want to see more pictures from that that you can visit my page on facebook HERE!

"Lolita is a Japanese street fashion inspired primarily by the clothing and general aesthetics of the Rococo and Victorian periods. This fashion movement started in Japan in the 1980’s and has evolved greatly since. Nowadays Lolita Fashion has grown to be relatively popular all over the world. Relatively popular for an obscure Japanese street fashion, that is."

(If you want to know more about Lolita fashion go here www.lolitafashion.org)

I really fancy Lolita fashion. I always try to improve my wardrobe. When I found Lolita I was really happy about it because I felt like it was meant for me, for my style and my personality. I feel like I don't have to change anything to be part of it. I can be, finally myself. Here in Colombia there are some Lolitas and in my City (Bogotá) There is this community named Porcelain Caroucel in which I'm a member and one of the founders.

I went to my favorite tea saloon and made a photo-shooting for my lolita fellas for the magazine I work and for my Photo-composition assignment. The place was crowded because all of the costumers were looking at us and our fancy clothes. We wanted to give each other some Valentine presents, here is mine:


It is a Cat-scarf made by my dear friend Akari, I think its one of the best gifts someone ever gave me. She's Akari, she usually wears the delightful Classic Lolita style:

Today I went back to Alice's Cherries... I'm not in a good mood.

1st I failed at my apple diet so the dress I bought didn't fit.
2nd I was already tired
3rd Today there was a lot of people, I do not enjoy crowds, I know I'm a killjoy.
4rd People touched my camera.
5th I have a huuuuuuuuge headache.
6th Nobody took pictures of me.

:(

I took a lot of pictures for a magazine that doesn't pay what they're supposed to, well they don't pay me at all! I took all those pictures and I was so tired and people didn't help at all.
I want to leave Lolita Fashion, I like it, i enjoy it, but I do not like people and that makes me sad, there are nice girls, but i just don't feel I'm part of anything...

Right know I'm kind of blue but later I will show you some pictures of today.

*Turning into Snow White*

During 3 or 4 days, starting NOW! I will only eat apples. Why? because i need to lose weight, because Its healthy for my skin and organism. My best friend decided to follow this diet on December and she told me it worked, so I'm going to do it!

I can eat ALL kinds of apple, lol
I'm going to try to do this a great and fun challenge, so I'm going to try some recipes for my apple week :3


Let's defeat this apple challenge!

Yesterday I decided I'm going to design t-shirts in company with a friend. I really like the idea, I want this to be something big and elegant. I don't really like t-shirts, I mean, I'm into a more glamorous code of dress even though I don't dress as good as I wish I did.

Anyway I think there's a lack of good design in t-shirts in Colombia.

For those that care about my chocolate business!
 I sold a lot of chocolates, to some of my professors and some others to my college partners. I wish I could sell my muffins but people here is really cheap, they want everything as a gift.

Yesterday I bought 2 Moleskine notebooks, I'm really happy because I like the quality of the paper and everything, but of course most of you would call me a hipster for buying such an expensive note book. Anyway it's good for my daily notes, for my grade project and getting out everything I have on my insides. To do that I'm using my dad's fountain pen with his Parker ink.

Today I'm going to a party. I'm not really a party girl, but I'm the photographer from Raven's Night (the party) I hope everything goes well. I'm making some interviews. RatHaus (my company) is one of the medias that cover the party so I'll have to stay until the end, any other of my RatHaus partners could make it u_u, still I'm going with le boyfriend.

I really like trying new flavors, so I decided to try a new muffin; Apple and nutmeg.
They are very simple, be encouraged to make!

Aprox. 6(Large) or 12(medium) Muffins


2 cups flour  
1 tbsp. 
 baking powder 
½ tsp. 
 
¼ tsp salt. nutmeg (optional) 

½ Green Apple 
 
2 eggs 1 cup milk 
 
2 / 3 cup sugar 4-8 tbsp 
.  
Melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil warm 
  
1 tsp. vanilla
 
Mix in a large bowl: flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.  
In another bowl, mix melted butter with the milk, sugar, eggs and vanilla. 
Add the liquid to the flour and beat with a few movements to incorporate and moisten the ingredients. Sometimes the mixture is left with some lumps but that's okay. Pour the batter into the muffin cups and bake in a preheated oven at 200 ° C 



 

Remove from oven and let cool for 2 or 3 minutes before removing from the pan.

Right now I'm on Digital Cinema Production, I do not enjoy this class at all, generally I would kill to have this class, but this man (professor) makes everything lame. So, I'm going to tell you about what I did yesterday.
 
You people must think I'm all bakery, lol. Yesterday Night I made some chocolates to sell and some other muffins just because (I will make an entry with the recipe).  The thing about selling chocolates at college is that I'm asocial and I'm not into begging for money, I don't know if I'm explaining myself well... I do not have a group of friends or anything here at college, or a permanent group, so that makes things complicated for me in the sales area. It's 9:33am and I haven't sell any of the chocolates.
