Breezy Beezy.

Oh my lord! Its been quite some time since I've blogged. TISK TISK. But I have a good reason for being absent....being busy busy every day of the week(:

Today though, I got to relax and play around on the beach up in Santa Barbara! (Random fact: Did you know that Santa Barbara is known for its bars? Hence the two BAR's in Santa Barbara.) Wow, I'm lame. Anyway, it was just nice to get away from home and go venture off and see new things/people. I don't know about you but I like to people watch, I think it's one of my hobbies....it's basically what I did the whole day except for when I went shopping and grubbed on UH-mazing food!

Fail Better*.

This has been such a good week! I spent most of the time driving to new places(:, making more handmade headbands, bought two vintage blazers (the one i'm wearing is one of the two), finally got inspired (best feeling in the world!), and extremely enjoyed a night out on the town with some fierce ladies(;

But, going back to being inspired...it has been quite some time since I've been truly inspired, designing wise. The funny thing is that a little book helped me get out of that rut that I was in. The book is called Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail Again. Fail Better*. and every page is filled with quotes which help introduce perspective in our lives by reminding us that unaccepted failure is just a step toward success.

Personally, this little book has helped me tremendously. In my last quarter of school I took my last & final portfolio class, the most time consuming of them all....not to mention the one that emotionally dragged me down. When I first presented my portfolio to the teacher, they laid everything out on the table like... "Do you really think this garment would sell?" "What were you thinking when you designed this thing?" "You have poor construction" and BLAH blah BLAH.

First thought to come to mind: WTF. From then on I felt empty. But after reading the book...DGAF to that teacher. Being in the industry that I'm in everyone is going to put their 2 cents in. So now I'm not letting anyone bring me down because I'm too good enough to give up on a talent that I possess, & that I LOVE TOO MUCH!

Favorite quote: "After Fred Astaire's first screen test in 1933, the memo from the testing director of MGM read, "Can't act. Can't sing. Slightly bald. Can dance a little." Astaire once observed that "The higher up you go, the more mistakes you are allowed. Right at the top, if you make enough of them, it's considered to be your style."

Wow...I think I wrote too much. hahaha(:

Take it OR Leave it.

What a great day! Summer is a commin'...and that means late nights, random trips, driving with the windows rolled down, bright summer clothes, delish home-made food, seeing old friends, and new opportunities :D

Question: Have you ever wanted something so bad? Something that could change your life? But you're too scared to take it? Or you're too afraid you'll fail?

That's basically how I feel at the moment. I am soooo ready for change, but I don't know if I'm ready for a BIG change :|
Should I take this opportunity or leave it?

"Are You Crazy?"

My sister Gaby!

As soon as I walked out the door my mama yelled, "Are you crazy? You're gonna fry in that jacket!" hahaha
That is why I love my mama. And no, I didn't fry today....I'm just used to the heat (Argentina is my second home = humid summers), thank goodness!

Today is my dad's birthday and everyone is at the house and when I say everyone, I mean every Argentinian in Simi Valley plus my family. As I'm speaking the party is just getting started, music pumpin', food grubbin', & drinks flowin'. Gotta love days like this(:

Family is blood. Family will always be there when no one else is. Sure, some friends will be there but most of the time they won't. Keep your loved ones close because you never know when you'll lose them.

So Close.

Finally! Got my BANGS back :D

"I am what I am, I can't help myself
And if you don't like it get with somebody else
I'll never change my ways, it's not a phase
This is how it is and this is how it's gonna stay"

Thank you, Jonas Brothers you read my mind.

Don't you just hate it when people won't accept you for you? I DO! You sit there and wonder why they don't like you. For some, people change themselves just so they could fit in and satisfy others. And for others, they just DGAF! I think that's how I'm starting to feel...

Comfort Zone.

Just got back from a good workout at the gym! A game of basketball with some fellas and a few weights here and there is my kinda workout(: It beats running on the treadmill :P

On another note, I've come to the conclusion that I need to go out and venture off. Don't you ever get tired of doing the same things over and over? Going to the same place to hang out, to shop, to get ice cream, seeing the same people? Or is it good doing the same things over and over again?

How can one learn if they are always surrounded by the same people/things/environment?
Maybe change is good...

My head feels like it's being pulled in different directions. This way. That way. Over here. Over there.
