Jazmín Chebar

2012-02-28T17:52:00.000-03:00

Jazmín Chebar is an Argentine brand that has quickly become one of my favorites ever since I was given a light blue linen suit as a gift. The detail and quality of this brand is amazing and their new Autumn Winter collection does not dissapoint. Going on 25 this year makes me think of maybe adding a bit more sophistication to my wardrobe without looking 50 and this brand makes it easy to do so.

Tell me what ya think, enjoy!

the skinny

2011-12-18T22:32:00.003-03:00

In high school (about 5-6 yrs ago for me) I wanted to be thin so bad. I lived dieting and then would binge. I practically lived in a gym for more than a year, tryed the Atkins, the Cabbage Soup diet, all of those diets. I would see the celebs and admire their bodies. I thought that if I only had that body, my life would be SO different. So many things would change. I compared my size 6 jeans to size 2 models.

I now lost weight, I'm down to a size 4 but a good size 4, I can honestly say that I have no problem whatsover, no complaints. I've moved to Argentina and in these last 4 years, I walk a lot, I eat REAL food (no perservatives), more water and tea and I snack less. Basically my lifestyle is way different and I eat just as much as before but in a different way and doing different things.

The point is that, weight really doesn't change your life a whole lot. 1 or 2 sizes (as long as you're healthy) really isn't as dramatic as it seems. It's not going to change your love life, it's not going to make you more successful at work, it's not going to help you gain friends nor will it bring you and your family closer together. It's really not going to change a whole lot besides needing new clothes and maybe gaining a litte confidence. And I say maybe because you may even discover that your weight doesn't even modify your confidence. It doesn't even make you feel prettier or funnier or sexier sometimes.

I don't know, it just doesn't change a whole lot when your already at a healthy weight.

Point is, if you are thinking that losing 1 or 2 sizes when you are already healthy is going to change your life, you may discover that it's really not, you're just gonna need some new jeans.

To Santa:

2011-12-01T16:45:00.001-03:00

My X-mas list. Granted I don't expect a whole lot...but I always enjoy thinking about what I ~~need~~ want most.

1. Skullcandy headphones. I'm obsessed and though it'd probably mess up my hair, they look so freakin adorable with a cute bun while riding the subway!

2. Jeans. Dark ones with a straight leg. This might be a lot more complicated for "Santa" to give me because jeans are soo personal...I'm so picky with the fit! (Pictured below are some curvy id Levis)

3. Perfume. Anyone who really knows me knows that I have specific scents and I don't really like to get out of my perfume comfort zone. I'm almost done with my Paco Rabanne Lady Millon and am in need of one of the following fragrances:

4. Arm Candy. Love the look, don't have enough to pull it off.

5. Clothing. I can never have enough. Note: I love everything in the nude range of colors.

Free People Girls

2011-10-27T09:11:00.001-03:00

Free People always has a beautiful touch to their lookbooks. It reminds me a lot of Rapsodia from here in Argentina. Anyway, this has got to be one of my fave photos yet. The girls a beautiful (love the hair!) and I love how they mixed modern pieces with vintage ones.

BTW, I love those silky pants!

The Child In Forever 21

2011-10-19T19:01:00.002-03:00

I'm loving the Character Traits designs at Forever 21....so adorable! And it reminded me of how much I used to love Disney Movies, I had every single one that came out up until DVDs started coming out, and then I was just into Limited Too and nail polish.

Remember Limited Too?!

Anyway, my favorites, and the ones I know I would have loved when I was younger! They even had Keroppi which was my favorite character from the Hello Kitty store.

Playing Dress Up

Honestly, I'd go with a nice long more modest dress over a short revealing one any day...

a true visionary. "Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." - Think Different, Apple Computers

skins

2011-10-04T15:33:00.001-03:00

How great are these? There are so many designs and all very creative...I want one!!

They would make great gifts, too. Aside from ipod skins, there are also art works, tees, and other products.

Dreaming of Dior

Christian Dior Spring 2012 at Paris Fashion Week

Dior with a new director went a little more classic and Parisian. The outcome was dreamy and ultra-feminine.
