My Sketchbook

Yeaaaah, I finally have a new sketchbook!!

I mean, it's been a while since I last had one, you know? So, I've been on this eternal search for the perfect one. My moleskine sketchbook was fine but I think I filled it so quickly, I needed more. That's why I've been looking for one that's a little bigger and with more sheets.

When I found this, I thought it was the right one. Black, the perfect size and the right number of sheets. And guess what?! I've been sketching every day, it's like I can't stop now!

Well, enough said! Let's take a look at some of the things I've done so far...

Paulette / Hostos St.

Here's another photo of my friend Paulette!

I have to tell you something, Paulette is such a nice friend! She has Italian origins and believe it or not, we share the same passion for images and good music (it's very difficult to find someone with the same interests as me). 

Last Friday we went to her grandma's house as I told you, to do a little bit of exploring around the Colonial Zone. I loved her look, but then the weather started being a bitch so she had to take her sweater off. Thank God I had the chance to take a picture!

Weekend Diaries XIV

Hey there!

Yesterday I went to the Colonial Zone of my country and here are some of the pictures I told you I was going to take. It was quite a good day and I actually loved it!

I went there with my friend Paulette and we walked like never before, seriously. I got there at 11 am and we visited a lot of places. We discovered a lot of new places and it was great. So, let me tell you a little bit about the exploring day that was....

On the Street... Sarah.

This is my friend Sarah. I met with her yesterday to discuss a project that we have in mind. Sadly, we ended making jokes and watching vine videos the whole afternoon, ahh. I can't help it, that always happens when I see my friends.

I loved the way she looked. I think the orange trousers, the bi-color cardigan and that print blouse worked perfect together. Sarah has always been a very stylish person and the best thing is that she doesn't try so hard. And I have to say, that's always what I'm looking for when I'm taking photographs.

The only bad thing is that the sky turned cloudy and that's why the photos have some kind of grey tone. But I think it looks nice at the same time.

Right now she's studying advertising (like I will) and she told me it's a whole different world. She has to do a lot of things now, from editing videos to taking pictures and drawing, something that she never liked and now she's actually kind of enjoying it. Now she's got her pencils all the time with her, and I think that's so cool!
She even showed me some of her sketches and I have to say, they're pretty good. I'll probably post them here or on instagram anytime soon. She also told me that the students are a bit crazy, but in a nice way and the teachers are pretty cool too.

The only thing that she told me that's not really awesome is the virtual class. She doesn't really love to send her homework via internet. But oh, well... what can I say?

And that's it. That's what happening in Sarah's life right now. Sounds interesting, no?

Changing the subject a little bit... Today I'll be taking more and more photographs (not only street style), I'm very excited! I seriously can't wait to see what I find on the streets :)

What about you? Are you doing anything interesting today? Let me know!

The lazy update

I said I'd write it soon or later. And here it is, the lazy update.

Lately I'm waking up late and I'm spending hours drawing (in order to get better) as I said before, and blah blah. That's my life right now, probably sounds perfect but it's not.

I'd probably go out sometimes with my friends, watch movies, take some street style photos. But that's it. I'm getting used to go out a lot these days.

On the Street... Laura.

Summer Reign

The sun, the hot weather... ahh it feels like summer will never end.

I mean, it's so hot I'm about to melt. It's somehow annoying. That's why yesterday, I decided to wear this outfit. It's decent and comfortable enough to work in the heat (I was on a film set yesterday, I know, I know!! we'll talk about it soon).

Everything's from Zara. The trousers are so comfortable, I've been wearing them a lot lately and the polo shirt is very light and I think that makes it perfect. But honestly I can't wait for fall, even though there's not a huge difference between seasons in my country, the weather just gets a bit better. I have to say, I love summer but I've had enough for this year.

And speaking of summer... The super cool band Coastal Cities released this song a few days ago and I'm totally in love with it. It's just perfect, and I don't know why but for me it feels like a sunset (I'm so weird) Okay, enough. Here's the song, I hope you like it!

On the Street... Claudia.

Remember Claudia? Well, last friday I was walking by the seminary that's near my house to find a bit of inspiration and just to clear my mind, and then I suddenly found her. Thank God I always have my camera with me, she seemed so serene ( and the light + her outfit were perfect) I just had to take her picture.

She was so quiet, reading her book. When I asked her why she was there, she told me that the seminary was the best place to find peace and it allows her to concentrate on her reading or whatever she's doing.

I think that's great. I actually don't have a place where I can go to read or something like that. What about you? Do you have one? Tell me about it!

My illustrations

Yeah, it's super late (12:56 am). I already know that.

I just wanted to share some of my 'real' illustrations with you, nope, not the ones that I've done with my Graphics tablet.

I mean, you probably know that I have a lot of free time lately. And for me, free time means actually drawing. Yes, with color pencils, charcoal pencils and all that. I actually bought my pen tablet because back then I didn't have much time to draw when I was in my senior year. I had all those crazy and neverending assignments.

And now, it's totally the opposite, I feel so free to just do whatever I want. I never thought I would actually spend so much time doing something that I love so much. Oh well, I'll tell you more about my lazy days in another post. Time to sleep now!

Ovadia & Sons SS14

Can we take a couple of minutes just to talk about how perfect the Ovadia & Sons collection for next spring is?

Well. I wanted to share some of my favorite looks with you.

On the Street... Plaza Cataluña

I was eating ice cream the other day and immediately wanted to take a picture of this girl. She's got a very nice style, kind of tomboy but still very feminine. I like it a lot! It's just too bad that I forgot to ask her name... Oh well.

What do you think? do you like it?

Wishlist #3: The jacket

A few weeks ago, I talked about what I'd like to wear this fall. Well, remember when I told you that I was looking for a varsity jacket? I think I've found it.

Believe me, that's definitely the only piece one of the pieces I need from the Saint Laurent collection for this season.

On the Street... Paulette
