The new Decor
Since I moved to a new apartment I've been obsessed with decor. Literally obsessed. I have so much fun going to Decor stores, even antiques store (which I used to hate) and I want to bring home everything.
To be quite true and critic of myself I am not sure what kind of style I have when it comes to decorate. I've been through weird phases like the time I painted my bedroom wall yellow/orange-ish which looked cool and then I wanted to add some Bollywood style with fabrics hanging from the ceiling and walls, basically my room looked like a fucking gypsy tent, which was fun at the time and now that I remember that I wonder how did my mom allow that? I guess that is the beauty of experimenting.
Right now I would say I am way more into whites and clean lines! In my room I have this black dresser that drives me insane every time I look at it because I just want to paint it white. Also, I should post about my mini DIY nigh stand which turn out to be one of my most priced posesions now.
Number 1 tip. Definitely all decorative objects should work also as storage, specially if you live in NYC!
Watercolor vibes
Lately I've been into exploring more of what I like and new things I want to try. Since I moved to NYC I always say that every time I get out of my comfort zone I have a good time and it gets boring when I don't.
That's why the other day I was thinking of going for watercolors so I could finally make my painting dreams a reality! I've always been super impatient and to be honest I just want to paint these beautiful sceneries in a split second but this time I am reminding myself to be patient and just take it slow, that's why some of my paintings are shit, but some like this abstract one are cool.
I also realized I go a lot for blue hues since it reminds me of the water, which funny enough, I was never a big fan of. But now I am eyeing some photos to hang on my room with cool waves and beaches. I hope this helps you to experiment more!
My stay in Chile
Yes, if you know me it might sound like I just gone crazy but no. This time I enjoyed being home so much and I loved my country how I am supposed to (Don't get me wrong, I'm def staying in the US) but now I do look forward to unwind in Chile and visit family. And even if I don't have friends there or I don't have anything to do, is exciting. It is like driving for the first time, visiting my aunt's house up in the mountains for the first time everything feels new and refreshing, because it is true, you definitely need a break from NYC sometimes.
First day of the year me and my mom decided to go to the casino! And it was so nice to drive on empty highways and play in noisy colorful machines!
We went to the pool with my cousin's kids and we had a blast! All day at the pool is definitely my definition of summer!
My aunt's house up in the mountains is out of a story book! It is truly magical!
Let's take a moment for my awesome nails I had in January and the perfect xmas gift! Thank you mom!!!
My awesome nails, great snapchat filter and pool days!
Birthday celebrations at the terrace of the Cumbres Hotel in Santiago! Thank you daddy!
Finally some much needed beach time!
Goodbye lunch, heartbreaking.
The perfect leopard coat.
It has been forever since I wanted to own a leopard faux fur coat that didn't look tacky, that made me look like that mischievous french that smokes in PE class behind a tree! And I have to say I finally found it! I bought it last year on ASOS and they for sure have the best options on the market! It gives me that Je ne sais quoi I was aiming for and it actually looks like it might be real but no animal was harmed in the process.
I love to dress it up or down, it is so versatile! It works absolutely perfect with a pair of adidas sneakers or with an all black outfit ready to hit the town! (specially in NYC!) And I have to say it definitely keeps you warm! It has that très chic factor I love and it gives me the comfort I always wish I had, because honestly not even sneakers are comfortable for me, I guess I was meant to be Cinderella, if that makes any sense.
Anyways below you can find similar options. Oh, and little snaps from my new work neighborhood... who would have thought I was going to end up working near my favorite building in the city.
