My rules of style / pt.1

Disclaimer: I'm not a fashion dictator, and no, I don't want to be a stylist either. This series of posts is supposed to help you find your style and make it personal, I guess (?)

So, let me tell you something. In the past, I used to buy a lot of stuff. Really, stupid things like destroyed denim and all that (yup, sorry). And now, I have to say, my style has evolved a little bit. Okay, it has evolved a lot actually.

I've learned a lot of things recently, so I'll be happy to share them with you. I call them 'my rules of style'...

Quitasueño Studios

After talking a lot about it and uploading photos to Instagram , it's finally time to show you some pictures of my visit to the film set I told you about!

So, last month I was invited to this Studio, to see a little preview of the set and how everything was going to be organized for the film. I still can't believe it. I felt so honored to be there and just talk about how things were going to be. Ahhh..
To be honest, I love taking pictures of interiors and all that. So when I entered there, I kind of felt like I was in heaven. No, really. The set was very organized, very bohemian and well designed. I loved it.

Sadly, I can't talk about the movie right now but let me tell you something, it's going to be awesomeee. Ohh, I'm thinking about making a short film right now, what do you think?

The Sunglasses

Remember Juan? Well, these are his sunglasses.
Pretty cool, right? I know... I couldn't resist how amazing they are, so I had to take a picture, I even uploaded one to Instagram.

On the Street... Culture Plaza

Let's talk about Instagram...

Ahh, Instagram... The wonderful app to share photos of your meals daily life with people from all around the world. It's amazing and we all love it, no? I've been using it a lot lately, it's a little bit addictive.

I mean it's really useful when you don't feel like carrying your camera.
It's also great to keep up with people you admire (photographers, editors, etc.) and a really great way to get inspired.

On the Street... Juan

Cristina

My essentials: The plaid shirt

You know what? I actually have a lot of shirts. And let me tell you, most of them... are plaid.

Yeah, yeah. I've always been so in love with plaid shirts. I mean we all love them, right? For me, they're some kind of uniform, I don't know why but I can't stop wearing them all the time!

The (unexpected) Interview

Ok. First of all, I don't know exactly how this happened...

Remember when I worked at an advertising agency? (Ohh, my illustrations have changed a lot since that!) Well, yesterday I went to another agency for a job interview. Let me tell you how it was...

On the Street... Mildred Ilene

On the Street... Laura

Geraldine

This is Geraldine!

Let me tell you the truth... I met her for the first time on the weekend. She's so beautiful, and there's definitely some kind of mystery about her.

I wanted to take a picture because she's got such a nice style and she's so graceful and such a nice person. When I first asked for the picture, I was a little bit shy. But, when I talked with her, I realized how fun and cool she is.

Weekend diaries / Jarabacoa

Hello!

This weekend was my uncle's 50th birthday. We had a great time. As you can see, it was a cowboy party. Yeahh, I know. I loved it, I got to see a lot of members from my family that I hadn't seen in a while.

We laughed, we drank, and we danced.

Ohh well... what else can I say? I'll leave you with some photos, click on the arrows for more!

On the Street... Museum of Modern Art

Military... Seen at the 27th Biennal of Visual Arts

As I told you, I was hypnotized with all the beautiful art that I saw at the 27th Biennial of Visual Arts.

Okay, let me tell you. This is one of my favorite artworks from the Biennial.

I love it. Remember when we talked about the camo trend? Well, this immediatly reminded me of this when I saw it. And you know what? The red and grey details also remind me of the Valentino Spring 2013 collection. Don't you think?

The only thing is, I forgot the artist's name, ugh. Well anyway... What do you think? Do you like it?

On the Street... Aisha Syed.

Ahh, I'm so lucky!!

Have you heard about Aisha Syed, the super cool violinist? I'm sure you have! Well ok, if you haven't, let me tell you a bit about her...

She's a 24 year old talented violinist from my country (Dominican Republic). She has won a lot of international contests and she has performed 57 concerts in Europe and my country. That's pretty awesome, don't you think?

So, I was leaving the Biennial and when I came out, she was outside, practicing for a performance she had that night. It sounded so incredibly astonishing, it gave me goose bumps! When I asked if I could take a picture of her, she kindly said yes and was very happy.

I'm so glad I met her, she's such a nice, beautiful and talented person.

The 27th Biennial of Visual Arts

So, last Friday I went with some friends to the Museum of Modern Art to see the 27th Biennial of Visual Arts.

Let me tell you how it was...

A book I love / Los Cuadernos

Hello!

Today I want to share one of my main sources of inspiration with you. I've had this book for about a year and a half now, and I'm sure you've probably heard of it (maybe?) Well, let me tell you...

On the Street... Cinema Café.

The perfect fit.

We've talked about this piece already. Yeaaaaah, I know... The truth is, I'm kind of a sucker for jeans.

Why do I love jeans so much? Let me tell you, they're such a timeless piece, you can wear them with anything. A pair of jeans are like someone's best friends or something, no?

But... How exactly should you take care of this beloved item? And, how do you find the perfect fit for your body type? Well, right now, I'm about to share with you some things I've learned from my grandpa when it comes about jeans...

The Sunglasses

These are Paulette's sunglasses. Cool, no?

When I asked her where she got them, she told me she found them at her grandma's house and they belonged to her aunt. That's even cooler, right? She told me how full of joy she was, and I totally get it!

I also love finding things that once belonged to members of my family, like my dad's Persol, remember?

What about you? I mean, I'm sure you've found something awesome at your grandma's house. Tell me about it!

On the Street... Sambil.

Weekend Diaries / Portillo

Here's my photo diary from last weekend. Yup, the one I told you about.

We went to a beach called Portillo. The weather was perfect and the beach seemed like heaven to me. In this post you'll notice how I always end up taking pictures of silly things, whatever. Well, I hope you like them!

On the Street... Mario.

Lately...

Hey!

First, I'm sorry for the lack of posting... It's not easy to post everyday when you don't have enough content to share. But now, I think I have the right amount!

So let me tell you, I just came back from the beach (well, I actually came back on Sunday, but whatever...) and despite my SPF 500+, I've managed to get a tan. Seriously, my skin was so red that it hurt like f*ck... Thank god it's going away now.

Anyway, I'll post some pictures from the beach this weekend. Meanwhile, I'll tell you a bit of what's going on right now.
