Miracle on 34th Street

Somehow I was able to score this skirt from the Marni for H&M madness. I lost all hope when I walked by the store at 7:45 am the day of the opening and there was a line that went all the way from 34th to 33rd street. I stopped by the store during my lunch hour just to sob over empty Marni aisles; and then like a miracle (I know, I know it's just clothes but who doesn't like a dose of drama on a Sunday afternoon?) I found this skirt waiting for me at the entrance of the dressing room. We looked at each other and we knew from the very first second we were meant for each other.

hip hip hurraaayyy!

Bonus Picture: Here's me going at 120 mph. Isn't Alcibiades a great photographer? 

It almost looks as if I am not moving!

My Beautiful People

I used to dance tango several years ago. I did it only for a few years but I still love to brag about it because it brought lots of nice things into my life. I met wonderful people who I still keep in touch with (thank you, Zuckerberg), I have a decent body posture, and my mediocre musical taste improved considerably. One of my tango partners (in tango classes you are allowed to have multiple partners, but eventually you have to stick to only one for major presentations...just like in real life) is now a wonderful photographer. He shared with me his work and I'm glad to share it with you. These are the faces of Colombian children. We might not be a rich country, but we are considered one of the happiest countries in the world! and that my friends, is priceless.

Dear green eyes lollipop you are simply stunning! God bless you my love.

because when you are cool YOU ARE COOL!

When in doubt, wear a bright orange dress and a smile

And with these long legs I leave you for now. 

Peace and Love.

Tops down!

The rooftop of my building has become my favorite photo shoot location. It can be the middle of the winter and I can get away wearing a jean jacket and bare legs (disregard purple-lish color on toes and fingers). Cold wind improves blood circulation therefore attacking cellulite and uneven skin (sudden thoughts of spending 3 hours butt naked on my roof top as a cellulite treatment rapidly control my brain. Thoughts quickly disappear as I start imagining upset neighbors and disturbed helicopter pilots and birds). 

this is my I'm-freezing-but-let's-play-it-cool look

Note the pretty bracelets I'm wearing, they are hand made with love. Drop me a love note for more information (I might keep them all, my arm and the bracelets are pretty much in love right now, you know I love love notes. How many times did I write the word love?)
