Dress for festivities: Christmas & New year 2008

There aren't too many ocasions to wear THAT silver/gold or sequined dress that makes you feel like a modern princess. Personally, as I don't have much of a social life, the only ocasions I have to wear glamorous but fun dresses are: christmas, new year's eve, my prom party (2006) and Quinceañeros Parties (we don't celebrate "Sweet 16" here, but "Quinceañeros" when a girl turns 15), although I'm getting a little old for those. Dresses are great for these days, they're cute and comfortable, specially when they're not too tight, so you can eat as much as you can and no one will notice your belly (: That's the reason why I've prepared this post to give you some ideas of what to wear or what I would like to wear for the upcoming festivities.

BRIGHT COLOURS

'Locura' total

Hey everyone. Things have been crazy lately. December is always a really busy month for everyone. You know, Christmas preparations, even if these days it means almost pure Consumerism. I've been doing some shopping myself too, not too much for me, but for my mom, dad & young sister. I'll probably show you what I bought for them in one of my next posts.

My mom also bought me a cute bright coloured dress, I'll be wearing on Christmas dinner. Christmas this year will be so special, because it'll be the first time we celebrate it with EVERYONE, and when I say everyone i mean just my mother's family, which by the way is quite huge as she has like 8 brothers/sisters and almost all of them will be there, including their wives/husbands and> kids (although most of them are not that young).

Here's a picture of the outfit I wore yesterday to go shopping with some friends (I found a cute white and yellow top for my sister). I finally got a turbant. It's crazy how they have just started selling them here and yeah, they're not that popular. Doesn't matter, better for me, I prefer to be the only wearing them than everyone doing it ;). Uh and those sun glasses costed me less than a dollar at a thrift store. The vest used to belong to my mother (: and that bag is probably one of my favourites.

Emma + chanel

Who would say she would end up one day attending chanel parties and posing with Karl Lagerfield? Well, that's Emma watson right now and I decided to post about her, because she has done some smart choices lately, she's not going for safe looks, i feel like she's taking more risks, plus I like her make up (:

Chanel dinner party

Back.

Hello everyone. After less than a month, I'm finally back. My examinations ended yesterday at 6pm and yes that means my vacations started yesterday's afternoon. Well, I'm not totally free right now, because I have to write this essay about the movie "The hours" for my cinema class and the presentation is on Wednesday. Anyways, I think I did good on my exams, the one I'm worried/nervous the most about is America's history (not USA's, I mean America as a continent... I have no idea why everytime I say "America" people think I'm just saying USA, I guess is that people are used to say "Americans" when they wanna talk about somebody who's from the USA because it's easier, well, i actually have no idea so correct me if i'm wrong), but I still think I'll pass, because my previous grades at the subject were good.

I'll be attending Soda Stereo's (a rock band from Argentina) concert tomorrow and it's gonna be HUGE. Last month we had Bjork here, but i didn't go, because i don't know that many of her songs. Oh, btw, Owen Wilson's here =P... well, not here in Lima (where i Live) but in Cuzco (lovely place) doing some charity.

Well, you guys were right about keeping this site as a way of keeping my mind off of the stuff i decided to share with you on my very very very personal previous post.

I have some ideas on mind for the next posts I'm working at but I still would love to hear some of your ideas. Uh, by the way, new layout up, hope you like it, the picture is from Anais Anais campaign.

Thanks for everyone who commented at my site even if i hadn't commented back. You guys are so great, i actually thought i would have less than 10 visits, and i was shocked when I saw over 20 people's feedback and over 30 hits a day, even when i was 'gone'.
Love,

Bangs

I've always wanted to make a post about bangs, they give people who wear them so much personality, and there is a kind of it for everyone. I collected pictures from some sites, magazines and stuff, so here you have quite a summary on bangs =) Sorry about the low quality of these 6 pictures. They're from some Peruvian magazine i didn't intend to buy, so I just took some pictures of it with my cellphone. On the first top three pictures, we can see long bangs (which are a little bit under the eyebrows) , picture 1 & 3 show denser bangs.

First we have short bangs. They are ideal from everyone who doesn't have a large forehead, this looks will create the image of a longer forehead. It doesn't matter how long your hair is, it will look amazing with short-length and long-length hair. There is also more dramatic ways to achieve these look (maybe three fingers over the eyebrows).

Second, we have the looooong bangs, wich Kate Moss has been rocking lately. These are my favourite. I really love Liv's (want mine to look like that).

And Third, the swept side bangs, classy and probably the safest. Nicole Richie's all-the-time look and also, the way I'm keeping my bangs right now. Vanessa Hudgens seems to love side swept bangs too & although, this is not a recent picture of Mischa Barton, bangs were great on her.
