Where do I want to go next?

It is no big secret that I love to travel. I love seeing new places and learning about new cultures. Every time I come back from a trip I just want to go to more places and see more. There might only be 13 in this list, but believe I want to see more from the world.

What made me happy this month

August has been a pretty busy and eventful month, and I always enjoy doing a little round up to catch up on what’s been the best part of it.

1.       Going out with friends. For the first time since I moved here I went to an actual club, and guess what? It was fun. Surprisingly I went out twice and both time I had fun. I’m excited to do it again soon!

2.       Back to university. I went back to uni this month, and even though I’m not happy about spending so many hours at uni and so much homework, but I was glad to see my friends again. Catching up with them and going back to spending time with them was fun.

3.       I won a Sephora giveaway. Yes, I won 50$ to spend in Sephora and I actually got the stuff today and it was so amazing. I still can’t believe I won.

4.       Reunion with friends. I had a lovely reunion with two friends, who we used to be really closed back when I was in 8^th grade. It was nice to catch up and know that we are still friends.

5.       Baking cookies. I don’t remember when the last time I baked before this month was. I remembered how relaxing and fun baking can actually be. Now, I’m finding stupid excuses to bake.

6.       Voting for the first time. Early this month, I voted for the first time and it was such an incredible experience.

7.       Formosa sunset. I remembered my mom saying “look at the sunset”, I turned and saw this beautiful sunset right behind me.

8.       Skype with friends. Since we are all spread around the globe, it was really nice to find some time and catch up with them.

9.       Forever 21 clothes. I ordered some clothes in Forever 21 this month, which surprisingly haven’t done in a while, and I loved them all, I talked about some of them on my previous post.

10.   Reading for fun. With so much to read for school last semester I was happy to finally find some time to relax and read something I actually want to read.

11.    Pancakes. My grandma came over and she made me pancakes which were delicious and it was really nice from her.

12.   New semester. It’s so nice to start a new semester, it’s a fresh start with different subjects.

13.   Ed Sheeran, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis new song. I did mention this in my favorites, but this song is so amazing and it gives me goose bumps. I literally can’t stop listening.

What made you happy this month?

July and August Favorites

Hi! Can you believe August is almost over? Where has this whole year go?

I decided to do July and August together since July was only exams and studying except for the last two weeks. So, grab some tea and prepare to read a lot on what I’ve been obsessing this past two months.

     

      1.       Faux leather white back pack. The moment I saw this backpack I needed to get it. I’ve been wanting a new bag for school for some time now and I wanted one big enough for it and traveling. I was surprise with the size when I got it, everything fits so perfectly, my laptop, agenda, water bottle, everything. Similar here and here.

     2.       Joggers. Comfiest pants ever anyone? This pants are the best thing out there, after a long day at university this are my go to pants. I’m also planning to wear them for: a. working out, b. comfy clothes after swimming, and c. finals or exams periods.

     3.       From Zara with Love 10ml perfume. I mean not only does it smell amazing but it’s so practical. The size just makes it so easy to carry everywhere. It’s like an emergency perfume everywhere you go.

      4.       Insta film Pandora Edition. I really love theme Polaroid print and this one is no exception, I used all of them on my trip because my friends and I really like the cute drawings on the size. Might be purchasing them again soon.

     5.       Relentlessly red lipstick. Can we all agree Mac lipsticks are the best? Even the smell is ah-mazing. I got this color because I was kind of sad they didn’t have any purple ones left and my mom helped me pick it up. I really wanted a more summer color sine the other Mac I had is more for the winter. Of course, it is mate because I’m pretty obsessed with the way they make my lips look.

  

     6.       Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger. No surprise here, another Salinger book. I still need to finish it but I’m really liking this stories. I really enjoy how he secretly adds a member of the Glass family every now and then (you’ll get it if you read the book and google it later). I highly recommend it if you enjoy Salinger and short stories.

      7.       El Clan by Pablo Trapero. I really really like this movie. I’ve never been an Argentinean movie love but I really like this one. It is a little violent and intense, I would not recommend to everyone but it is pretty interesting if you are into crimes and a little bit of Argentina history.

  

     

      8.       Not an Apology by Bea Miller. I can’t stop listening to this album. I’ve been a fan of Bea for a while and I was so excited with her new album. My favorite song is Force of Nature the lyrics are so beautiful and I love the acoustic sound it has compare to the more pop sound the rest of the songs have.

      9.       Growing up by Macklemore and RyanLewis Ft. Ed Sheeran. Every single time I hear this song I get goose bumps. The lyrics are so beautiful and I love the sound of their voices together. I’ll totally buy an album by this three.

     

    10.   Pen pals.  I’ve never had a pen pal before. The amazing Courtney runs this great Tumblr to connect people all over the world who are looking for pen pals and I’ve been obsessed ever since I got my first email. People are so nice and I love to read about their different cultures. It’s an amazing way to meet people from all over the world.

     11.   Painting mandalas. My mom and sisters would spent so much time painting mandalas and I finally gave in. it’s so relaxing, it may sound stupid but I swear it its. It also reminds me of when I was younger and I’ll spend hours coloring the coloring book my grandma got me.

   

   12.   Fairy lights. I don’t know for how long I’ve been wanting this and I finally got them. I love how Tumblr my room looks with them, they go so well with my Polaroid.

     

    

   13.   Rubbermaid water bottle. Maybe this is the most random piece of this list but I really like this one. I carry with me everywhere I go because it is so practical and it really does help me drink more water. It is also a really strong material and I can guarantee it won’t spill inside your bag.

What have you been loving this months?

10 things I learned living abroad

Maybe you are new here but most people know I lived abroad for five and half years (and I’m planning to live abroad even more). I lived in Brazil for two years and 3 and half in Paraguay, so I’d like to see myself a pro at the whole moving abroad thing. From my experience, I can say it’s amazing. I think that at least once everyone must live in a different country and learn about it. So here are 10 things I learned when I lived in Brazil and Paraguay.

1.       Learning a new language is fun.

2.       New cultures are always interesting.

3.       Home is home

4.       Your family is your biggest support and those who understand better

5.       It’s ok to miss.

6.       It’s also ok if your accent changes

7.       People would leave but you’ll learn to be fine and understand

8.       Social media will save your life

9.       You’ll be scare of the new things that will come but that’s alright

10.   A fresh start is always a good idea.

Have you lived abroad? What have you learn while away?

Love

Pili

Style inspiration: Cara Delevingne

Photo credit: Pinterest

I’m sorry for the delay posting this, I never find time to write and I hate doing things in a rush. Anyways, I think I love Cara ever since she become a well-known model in 2012 and now that I’ve seen her in Paper Towns I love her even more. But, other than being an amazing actress (I’m dying to see Suicide Squad) and model, Cara has an amazing style. Her red carpet looks are usually amazing but her street style is my favorite. I love how she wears beanies and leather jacket, reminds me a lot of how I like to dress. She has that tomboy look but also extremely stylish. I have to be honest her airport look just looks so comfy, might steal some of that whenever I have to travel next.

                                                                  ***

Perdón por tardar en subir esto, nunca encuentro tiempo para escribir y odio hacerlo apurada. De todas formas, la amo a Cara desde que se hizo una modelo conocida en 2012 y ahora que la vi en Paper Towns la amo todavía más. Pero, además de ser una gran actriz (muero por ver Suicide Squad) y modelo, Cara tiene un gran estilo. Sus looks de la alfombra roja son muy lindos pero su Street style es mi favorita. Me encanta como usa gorritos y campera de cuero, me hace acordar a como me gusta vestirme. Tiene ese tomboy look pero también con mucho estilo. Tengo que ser honesta su look de aeropuerto parece muy cómodo, capaz lo robe la próxima que tenga que viajar.

Love

TCA Favorite looks

Bea Miller

I love how Bea looks with the jacket over her shoulders, and the jumpsuit makes her legs look extremely long.

Lea Michele

I feel in love with her dress the minute I saw it!

Lucy Hale

I always love her style, and this dress was so cute on her. Her hair was also amazing!

Maia Mitchel

This is the first time I’ve seen her red carpet look and I love it! Love how comfy it looks and so perfect for the summer in all white!

So, the Teen Choice Awards were last Sunday and even though I didn’t watch it, I saw all the red carpet (blue carpet?) looks and this were my favorites! I honestly always loved the TCA because they are like the summer awards and everyone looks to be having fun and surfboards idea is actually pretty cool. I remember watching in like 2008 when the Jonas Brothers were there and Taylor Swift haha. But lately I’ve been loving the idea of adding nominee such as: favorite youtuber and all internet related categories!

What was your favorite look from the event?

    2.   NAKED Eyeshadow Palette from UrbanDecay

I’ve been wanting this palette for so long. I was going to buy it on my last trip to the US but it is a little bit expensive. I love the colors it has and the great variety, this are basically all I use. I like to use a more natural look so casual event but when I go out at night I enjoy darker look and this one basically has all of that. Maybe, next time I’m in the US I’ll check it out!

I really love Essie nail polish and I can’t wait to go back to the USA to buy more and more. Every time I go I come back with a new Essie nail polish, I think next time I’ll come back with at least 10. I’ve been really liking pastel nail polishes, and Essie has the prettiest color, I just want them all.

It’s no secret that I’m a big mac lipstick fun. Ever since bought my first one I’m obsessed and I want to keep on adding more and more. I love how they look on my lips, I honestly think they are the only lipsticks I can wear now. And yes, most of them are Matte because I'm extremely in love with Matte lipstick

I was going to buy the purple one last time I went to Asuncion but they didn’t have it anymore so I settle for a reddish one, which I’ll show you later.

What is in your make up wish list?
