A hundred two times

A hundred two times:
Nació con esos curiosos defectos con los que nacen todos. Algunos son maniáticos, otros despistados. Lo suyo era diferente, algo menos usual.

Solía ser olvidadizo y casualmente con aquellas cosas que más le importaban. Suena irónico. Al principio ocurría con exámenes que no recordaba que estuvieran fechados o con cosas que, en cierto modo, eran más triviales.
Se iba complicando por años, como suele pasar con todo. Y llegó el día en el que se enamoró. Al principio pasaba el problema por alto, se dejaba caer sobre la cama de su cuarto y recordaba perfectamente antes de dormir y al despertarse cada detalle de ella, tal y como hace la gente que está enamorada.

Pasaban los meses y empezaba a olvidar.
Primero fueron los ojos, parecía imposible pero era real. Casi daba risa pensarlo. Compadecerse mirando por la ventana y observando como desaparecía. Era trágico plantear decir "vuelve" cuando apenas habían pasado minutos desde la última vez que se vieron. Pero él escogía el silencio y buscaba al fantasma. Y sin embargo, ¿cómo era tu pelo?, ¿cómo era tu voz? No hay nada como enamorase todos los días de tu voz.

arabella ramsay fall 2012

arabella ramsay fall 2012:

i know we are fast approaching summer, but while we’re enjoying the warming temperatures, the southern hemisphere is slipping into fall and winter weather. and this season, arabella ramsay released a beautiful collection just for the occasion. “the apple of my isle” fall 2012 may be a bit warm for us right now, but i have a few pieces on my wishlist that i think will transition pretty seamlessly from season to season. i am, of course, smitten with that mustard yellow shift dress above, but am equally excited about the eclectic mix of stripes, florals, animal prints, and crochet. i’m sharing just a few of my favorites, so you’ll have to swing over to the arabella ramsay site to see the rest!

sammich cake

calivintage: smörgåstårta
no, your eyes are not deceiving you. this is a food post on a fashion blog. please don’t roll your eyes too much because i am quite proud of my latest creation! as i’m sure some of you know, i work for modcloth.com as an editorial specialist. this basically means that in addition to writing posts for the blog, i run the modcloth tumblr and instagram, and generally produce editorial content for the site. i also do most of the blog photography and even recently shot some campaign photos. it’s basically a really fun, creative job where i get to dabble in all sorts of different projects. after hesitating for over two years, i finally decided to try my hand at a cooking post. and this is what was born: it’s a sammich cake! also known as a smörgåstårta. i made it and took the photos at my friend’s house and now i feel like i’ve been bitten by the food blogging bug.
anyway, i originally posted this on the modcloth blog (where you can find my recipe), but i just had to share the photos here because i was so pleased with my first attempt, and wondered what you guys thought. little known fact: many moons ago, i was professionally trained in culinary school and am actually a certified pastry chef. i’ve never shared any of my work here because it’s a fashion blog, but perhaps you’d like to see what else i’ve got up my sleeve?

Outfit | Clean Cut

Outfit | Clean Cut:

Black coat: Stylein via Nelly / T-shirt: H&M / Boyfriend jeans: Zara / Flatforms: ASOS / Foldover clutch: Ready to Fish via Muze
An outfit still from last week (friday) when it wasn’t as hot as it is now in the Netherlands. Wearing my gorgeous coat again that I’m so in love with. But of course; when you find the perfect black coat summer decides to kick in. Oh well, I’m not complaining, I can finally wear some summer outfits now. More on that soon, back to my once again simple and comfy wear. I’m really happy with the cut of my jeans: a boyfriend model but still somehow feminine because of the carrot fit. And helloooo gorgeous new white leather foldover clutch that can also be worn as a bag. I prefer it as an oversized clutch though!

Hope you all had a great weekend, I’m getting ready for a very exciting week involving Humanoid, picking giveaway winners and showing you something ‘new in’. Stay tuned!
