Happy b-day Mr. Haring ♥

Keith haring is one of my favorite artists so I was super excited when I saw that Google made a doodle in his honor.


Yesterday (may 4th) was Keith birthday, he would have turned 54 years old if he were alive, he died in 1990 of AIDS. He was not only one of the great grafitti artists of all time but also a character himself, he had strong beliefs that were reflected on his art, he included everything that he consider should be showed to the world and he did it in such radiant and happily way. For me his drawings capture the essense of how bubbly and enjoyable life can be and how the world can be an eternal colorful party. He was an activist and he never stopped fighting for people with AIDS just like him, he created a foundation and spread the message over the world. Keith is such and inspiration for me and I'm sure he is also for many other around the world, so that why in his honor I wore my tee with a potpurri of some of his work.


I put on a leather skirt, my lovely tee, a jean oversize shirt and my Prada creepers look alike

(A few months ago I made a look inspired by Keith, you can see it HERE)

Anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH ♥

New items in my closet

I had a bit of extra cash (well actually not extra, that money was intended for something else but since I'm a shopaholic I spend it in what I like the most, shoes ♥)

I got this lovely combat boot at such a good prince, they wear a bargain and the only pair that was left was MY SIZE!!!

And this beautiful Prada creepers look alike, I know that I can't afford the real ones but these ones make me really happy too.

Plain and simple

 I made this purse in one of my classes at school, I didn't like the model to much that's why I used that pretty fabric to made it, I wanted to make a look with it so I decided to wear just any clothes and let the purse be the center of attention. I wore a black dress, a green cardigan, black/grey oxfords, and studded belt. Plain and simple

 (In the end my mom saw the purse and went bananas so I had to give it to her, I didn't like that much anyways haha)

Golden Thunder

This outfit was my first choice to wear on my birthday, then I changed my mind and end up wearing this. I love sequins and the cool thing about it is that they never go out of style, I put on my black/gold sandals and borrowed a gold spiked bracelet from my boyfriend. This look is super shinny but it the kind of look that you definetly wouldn't wear at 7am to go to the gym hahaha

Red & studded jean

Remember this shirt?


It was one of my b-day gifts, one of my closest friend got for me in Forever 21 in one of her trips to USA. I paired it with red leather skirt and a jean jacket with studs (putting all those damn studs on that jacket took me like a month, it was hard work but I love it)

Red skull

A few week ago I saw Miley wearing this and I remembered that I had a dress with a skull print that I hadn't worn in a while

 My dress has a black and white skull print just like McQueen's scarfs


So I put on my dress and a red blazer -to add a little bit of color-, threw on a bunch on chain necklaces around my neck, put on my spiked bracelet, my raffia and black leather wedges and the final touch was this red raffia purse.

Jean parrot

I'm latin and I'm proud of it, I love tropical fruit and warm weather (perhaps is because I was born so near the beach), I also love things that represent my country or the things that remind me where I come from so when I saw this parrot pin I bought it without thinking it twice.

A couple of months later I found this skirt with a parrot print, I went insane and bought it with the biggest smile on my face.


I paired it with a sleeveless jean shirt, a blue leather Bottega Veneta purse, black stockings and black leather booties.

Velvet smile

Velvet in one of my favorite fabrics in the world, I always wanted a velvet dress but  you can't get one in my country, so as usual I decided to made it myself. I got that lovely pearl necklace in the thrift store, it was there "looking" at me so I decided to adopt it and give it a nice home hahaha. I found the smile face hologram glasses in a party supplies store.


 But the ones I really want are these babies

Beaded flowers and upside down crosses

I'm in love with this cardigan, is so granny and so beautiful


The beading work is amazing, I really love this cardi ♥


So I paired this baby with a plain knitted nude sweater and some jean shorts, I had a few extra studs so I put them in the back pockets of the short as an upside down cross, very hipster I know hahaha. To complete this look I wore this lovely leopard oxford that my boyfriend got for me in USA.

Keeping up with this bitch

I know that I've been away lately but my life has turn around so abruptly and fast that I didn't even had the chance to keep up with it, I had to move from my old residence because the owner of the apartment need it my room, so I found this room in a great building in a great area, the owner of the apartment was a lovely woman who I thought would become one of my dearest friend, but it turnd out that this woman was C-R-A-Z-Y, she texted my at night from HER PHONE pretending to be a man and threatened me, I was so scared that I call my mom and asked her to get me out of there IMMEDIATELY. So after less the 2 month I had to move in again!

Thank god I found a new place, with a mature woman (I think she's 50 years old) and her 30 year old son, she seems to be a nice person and above all mentally stable, anyways I've been so busy with school and my thesis, I'm so scared in less than 2 weeks I have to go in front of a jury and defend my subject.

Anyways, here I am and I came here to tell you what happened this past months, in my life and in my Lookbook, enjoy ;)
