Nº 5

(painting by me, acrylics on canvas)

Hello, hello!

I'm finally off school!!!!!

The Christmas countdown has officially begun!

I've been meaning to make a painting for my room for forever but finals hadn't let me, 

so today I finally got to do it. I had no idea what to paint (I even have an "painting inspiration" 

board on pinterest). I wanted something fashion related but something simple and not so saturated.

My rooms is quite small so I'm trying to decorate it in a way that it doesn't

make it look even smaller. (Don't even get me started on my closet.)

I ended up painting a bottle of the iconic and legendary Chanel Nº 5.

I love the bottle's design. It's really simple yet elegant. 

And I love the commercials/shortfilms for Chanel Nº 5.

This one's my favorite.

So, what do you think?? 

I spent the whole day making some other illustrations too, I'll post them these next days.

love, love, love,

pink ink

Another illustration I made for practice.

It has inspired me to make some changes on the blog.

More to come!

Old sketches

Sorry for my lack of posts. 

Finals will be officially over tomorrow so I'll have tons of time for painting,

illustrating and blogging...finally!

I made this illustration of this outfit from Blair's Atlantic Pacific blog 

(one of my favorite blog) a couple months ago and it's finally up!!! 

Hope you like it!

Trista @ Mercedez Benz DFashion Mexico

Perdón por la tardanza en subir el resto de las fotos del Mercedez Benz DFashion Mexico pero últimamente me he echado unos cuantos rounds con mi internet. Así que estoy experimentando con la app de iPhone de blogger.

El show de Trista fue el que más me gusto de los que tuve la oportunidad de ver. Fue una combinación de una imagen dura con una suave y fluida. Colores neutros y colores tierra y cortes mas estructurados en contraste con etéreos vestidos blancos con telas ligeras. Y los zapatos!!!! Donde me consigo unos de esos?!

Sorry for the delay on uploading the rest of the pics of the Mercedez Benz DFashion Mexico but I've been having quite some boxing rounds with my internet. So now I'm experimeting with the blogger iPhone app.

Trista was the show I liked the most of the ones I had the opportunity to attend. It was a combination of a rough image and a soft and breezy one.

Neutral and earth tones and estructural cuts in contrast with ethereal white dresses in light, flowy fabrics. And the shoes!!! Where can I get a pair of those?!
