Designers: Long live McQueen.

Everyone deserves a second chance.
Fresh new starts are always a good thing, I always thought they would be easier though, I always had in mind they were somehow more glamourous, like in the movies, I thought I'd be like Holly Golightly, slipping into little black dresses and hiding behind big sunglasses to run away from her past and that awful marriage, the truth is, I didn't run away from a marriage, or heartache, I just did from routine and boredom and a small town, I wanted to see the world, because of course, the grass is always greener on the other side, and truth is, it isn't, drama and boredom, are still the same 1000 miles from home, the adventure of being able to start from zero, and not knowing anyone is exhilarating at first, like when you decide to chop off all of your hair, amazing at first and indeed refreshing, but time makes it dull, or maybe it's just me and my luck of getting bored way too easily.
So, when I decided to ditch my apparently, oh so boring hometown, I decided I'd ditch everything, including, and yes I'm ashamed to type this, fashion, and that included my beloved ByeByeBlondie and my dedicated readers, and to be honest, nothing's ever given me such a heart ache as to relegate fashion, but I can say something, even when didn't want it to be a part of me, there it was, calling me, and all I would read and see was fashion, even if I refused to talk about it in public.
A recent talk with my beloved friend Alba opened my eyes, and when she asked me 'Who's your favourite designer?” and it took me about an hour to type my answer, I knew that very moment that fashion has always been my greatest passion, ever since I was that dorky fourth grader who would wear sundresses with boots that decided she'd be a fashion designer some day even when she had no idea of what it meant at the time, that itch has been there, walking with me through every moment of life, it's always been that creative outlet for a shy girl with way too many things and inspirations running around her head and just a few words to describe them. And after all wasn't it Rachel Zoe the one who said 'Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.'? And I couldn't agree more with her.
I want to give BBB a new purpose, I want it to be less about me and more about them, about these amazing human beings who allow me to dream. So expect more fashion talk and less ego around here, and this is just the beginning, because once I start talking fashion, there are little things that can stop me.

KATE MOSS on VOGUE
This picture apeared in VOGUE's tribitute to Kate Moss, in which her daughter's fingers kinda dissappear on the model's back. Photoshop much? How do you feel about excesive retouching of photos?
Esta fotogtafía aparecio en el tributo que le hizo la revista VOGUE a Kate Moss, en la cual los dedos de su hija medio desaparecieron en la espalda de la modelo. Demasiado photoshop? Qué opinan del retoque excesivo en las fotografías?

PINK
Ok so I'll tell you the story of The Pink ZARA Blazer. A couple of weeks ago I went shopping and came across this beautiful pink blazer, I wasn't quite sure wheter I liked it or not at the moment, as the days passed I found myself thinking of that gorgeous and nicely constructed blazer hanging on said rack of ZARA, lusting after it and convincing myself that I really loved it and indeed needed it in my closet, or else my life wouldn't feel complete (I know dramatic as a McQueen fashion show) So after a couple of weeks dreaming of it, I went shopping again, adamant as hell to buy it. On my way to the store, I could feel the excitment growing in me, my palms sweaty, I felt I couldn't walk fast enough, when I finally got to the store, I walked in, to the very end of it to where I knew was the object of my affection, there, between numerous other not as pretty blazers, were only 3 pink ones, only one in my size, at that moment doubt hit me, did I really want it? need it? I walked out of the store, thinking that maybe among all the other boutiques I could fin something else that caught my attention, my bad, after an hour or so wandering around the mall (even going back to ZARA a couple of time, I swear the security guard gave a funny look a couple of times), I decided that the pink blazer was what was missing in my heart, and in my closet at the moment, I tried it on a couple of times, twirled around on it in front of the mirror, and bought it. After I left the store happiness overwhelmed me, I felt this rush, I don't know if that's how drugaddicts feel after they've done their drug of choice, but what I do know is that it made ME feel wonderful, I was so happy, couldn't believe that this baby was finally mine. After I left the mall in total extasis (even skipped my usual shaken lemon tea at Starbucks) I decided to walk back home (it's pretty near y'know) and as I walked I kept thinking, what would I wear my new baby with? I kept styling it over and over again in my mind with half of my closet, and each outfit I liked it even more, then I couldn't help to think, am I the only one who does this? who feels this way when finally getting some piece of clothing you've been lusting after for a while? Do all women/fashion conscious people style their latest accquisitions in their mind over and over again? What is it about going shopping that can make us feel so good about ourselves? A while a go a friend of my mother asked me what was with us women and shopping? I explained that feeling I get when I go shopping to her, she later told me she had never felt that rush, that excitement going into a boutique, the pleasure of going into a store, that, I'd never change, probably that's why I very rarely (almost never) shop on the internet, it doesn't feel the same, does anyone else get what I mean? has any of you lovely readers ever felt that way about shopping, and if you have, would you mind explaining it to me? I wanna read all of these experiences and maybe I can get a better understanding of this thing, also does it work as well for online shopping? C'mon share your thoughts on this and tell me I'm not crazy!!

Fashion?
For me, fashion is all about, playing, dressing up! Asking yourself, who do you want to be today? and go along with it, fashion is all about having fun and pushing the boundaries around you! - Ella S.
