Poetry

HI! It has been more than a week since I last posted! I apologize, I actually have 3 good reasons why, first one being I started school again, so that has got me everywhere except with writing time! The second one is a nice friend of mine call IB, yep the International Baccalaureate, my friends. In case you don’t know it’s like AP subjects, maybe even harder and longer. So I’m starting all my IB projects, running around teachers and giving them ideas. The third and last is my Microsoft Word wasn't working and I like writing there before posting. Anyways, I promised I tried to post more and this blog might help me in my CAS class (more IB stuff) so I’ll post more often. 




Enough of this, today I’m going to share one of my latest poem. I actually really liked this one, and I think you can interpret it however you want it. It is different from what I normally write because it is not based on anything personal.

Bare
You stand there bare
Giving me everything
Helping me through everything
And I can’t think straight

You stand there bare
The taxi cabs and the snow
The city moving fast
And I stare at you slowly

You stand there as your laugh echoes
You have that winning smile
Your head through back
And I listen to your laugh smiling

I stand there bare
I stand there looking out
I stand there as my laugh echoes
You can’t think straight, but you listen and stare

I hope you enjoy it, I would love some feedback and may I’ll post more poems!
Love,
Pili

Pretty Little Liars Does The 1940’s!

Hey guys! Happy Valentine’s Day! Two posts in a week, woah what’s happening? The truth is I actually couldn't help myself I was dying to talk about this whole Pretty Little Liars Episode.

When I first heard about it on twitter and Instagram, I had no idea how exactly they were going to do this and how it was going to match with the show in general. But after I saw how everything turned out, I was in awe. The episode was by far one of my favorite; you really got not only a lot of information, but kept my eyes glue to the screen the whole time. Another thing that I was taken back by was the amazing acting skill everyone had in this episode, Troian Bellisario defiantly stole the show, she did an amazing job like usual but manage to make it 10 times better, although everyone did great, Ashley Benson, Lucy Hale, Shay Mitchell, Ian Harding, Sasha Pieterse, and Keegan Allen all did great. The scenery was amazing it looked exactly like the 40’s probably looked like and like most 40s movies do.
Here are some of the pictures from the show:

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you next week!

PS: I got my licenses! woaahhh

Shopping Haul Part 1

Hello! How is everyone doing? Today I want to share with you everything I bought while in California. I decided to divide in two since it was too much. These ones are clothes and random things I got; the next will be accessories, beauty and make up.

Both from Forever 21


This dress was actually 10 dollars only, and it was from Urban Outfitters


I bought this one here in Argentina for my birthday actually, but thought I should share it with you guys. J



I mentioned before I love Breaking Bad, when I saw this one online in Ubran OutfittersI had to buy it (Even though it was in the men section. Lol.)

I had to buy something from the Pretty Little Liars collection in Aeropostale and thought this Who Is A? Hoodie was genius.



I looooove sweaters because they are so warm and cozy. I bought the first one in Forever 21and the other one in Abercrombie, I don’t usually shop here but the sweater was on sale and was really cute.


This new Dr.Martens are my newest obsession, I got them in black patent and wore them the whole trip, I was scared because my sister said they might hurt me, but I was fine walking everywhere with them.

This are the Nike Dual Fusion, I think, they are really light and comfortable, great for the gym and running.

I love this book already. I read a passage per day and is really inspiring, and since Demi is my favorite I loved this book already. You can find it at Barnes & Noble

I was needing a new journal and a small one to take with me everywhere, so when is saw this one in Staples I got one.


I love these three ladies, so I had to get the magazines with them in the cover. They are the February 2014 Seventeen magazine, the January 2014 Rolling Stone Magazine and the December 2013/January 2014 Nylon Magazine.

I saw this on tumblr and thought: I have to buy it. I wanted for years now and never got myself to buy it and I finally did. Amazon has this as well as many like this from the same author.

I told myself to buy magnets this trip and I found these really cute ones in Staplesso I got some for the big board I have in my room.

I’ve been having a hard time finding phone cases since my phone is not the newest generation. But I found the pink on in Victoria Secret and the cat on in It's Sugar

Hope you enjoy it and there is more coming next week!
Have a lovely lovely week.
Love,
Pili
Ps: wish me luck taking my driving exam next week!
