THE CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS: VEGAS!

 It was my first time in Vegas and my first impression after 5 hours driving, was the blinding lights yeahh that's why i wanted to call this post like the song of U2...."In the city of blinding lights the Neon heart day-glow eyes a city lit by fireflies they are advertising in the skies for people like us".

The lights of each Hotel the dimension of each one and the luxury of all this city really makes you blind. A fantasy place were you can spend without worring and get stressed. At least at that moment, cause the day after of playing two hours in the slot machine and have lost 200 dolar, won 30 and lost again  150. Made me realize how tricky that game could be. Specially when the guy next to you is winning and winning. It's not that i was stocking him but that loud noise made me look into his machine  more than mine. I just wanted to win at least something, anyway it wasn't my lucky day.

I realized that Vegas has their own fashion style. Tiny super tight skirts and deep cleavage tops with very bright colors, at least almost every girl i saw had " The Vegas Style", not my favorite one.

Cause it was extremely hot i decided to go for very light dresses and skirts and wore hats all the time. What i like the most in summer is to use a lot of bright colors like red, pink, green. Even with my nails i like to have fun with those colors.

The best of this three days trip was the Cirque Du Soleil show, Le Reve. The journey into a  world of romance, action and fantasy in an Aqua theater in the Wynn Hotel. Just amazing the artistic athleticism, under water tango and acrobatics made me expect the unexpected.o

4 TH OF JULY!!

I am so sorry I am just posting, and it's already the 13 th of july, the reason is becuse I was in mexico for few days. In the next post i'll be telling the story of my mexican adventure.
Now let's go back to the 4 th of july.What really got my attention was the empty streets and the smell of BBQ everywhere. I was doing alot of effort to go vegetarian  but the smell made me desire so much a piece of beef and... I must admit, I ate a huge hamburger with fries and a bit of Mac & cheese, no rules for today!!.
families together kids running everywhere, made me miss my family so much. Everyone with t-shirts ties and hats with the american flag. Even the houses were decorated with flags posters and lights with blue white and red.

AUDREY HEPBURN OBSESSION

As i said in one of my first posts, I am kind of an obsessive person, and I admit it. Audrey Hepburn Biography Book, Breakfast at Tiffany's dvd a beautiful picture of her that i hanged on my wall and a mug. Is that obsession? well those were my last week purchases.
For sure I am not the only person who admires the extraordinary life of such an extraordinary person. That besides all her success, fame and being such a big fashion icon that inspired designs by Givenchy and earned her place in the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame. during her last years of life she worked among the poorest children of the third world she was named Ambassador for UNICEF. Her commitment was absolute, she found herself among cultures as disperate as the Vietnamese, the Indians and various African tribes.
Sabrina, Academy Award-winning lead role in Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's, My Fair Lady are some of my favorite ones.
With her death, a light went down for millions It seemed a particular cruelty that so purposeful and radiant a life had been prematurely ended, she was just sixty-three.

Talking about obsessions. I went to a casting for a commercial, while i was waiting, my curiosity drive me thru the empty casting director's office, a man of more or less sixty years old. He had all the room packed with Superman posters, toys even the curtains were with the Superman logo. Definitely everyone has an obsession. Whats yours??

THE RIGHT OUTFIT FOR THE RIGHT OCCASION

Yesterday I had a  meeting with an important manager, and my big confusion was... how to dress for this occasion that you can't dress that crazy or that rocker, it needs to be a very classy and conservative look. Well at least it's that image that i wanted to give, but I didnt want to look boring neither.
In such a  looong time that I wasn't spending that long thinking inside of  my closet-what the hell do i wear for this meeting?, sometimes can be really frustrating.

So i made it simple, blue jeans never fail in any occasion and decided to go with a pretty vintage blouse with white spots and laced in the top of the sleeves, a black blazer and a simple black purse .

Finally I felt really good and comfortable and the meeting went really good, just crossing fingers I can start working with him so he can guide me in my acting career.

Here are four simple rules to feel confident and will guarantee a  great impression.

1. Be Smart

It is very important to look smart when attending a meeting, even if you are not required to wear a suit. If you are required to wear a suit, then men should wear a tie as it pulls the suit together formally. Remember that dressing well gives an impression of respect to your colleagues.

In many industries your presentation to clients is crucial so it is important, particularly in interviews, that your outfit is clean and well presented. Make sure your shoes are not dirty and be careful that there are no marks on your clothes or loose threads hanging from seams. This may appear sloppy and it is possible that others may not take you seriously.

2. Be Simple

Simplicity is genius and crucial when deciding what to wear to a meeting. If your clothes are too busy or loud it will detract from you and others may not be able to concentrate on what you have to say.

A white shirt should always be a wardrobe staple for men and women as it can be dressed up or down, depending on the tone of the meeting. A clean, crisp white shirt will look good with a smart suit and tie but also tucked into jeans.

3. Be Comfortable

If you are uncomfortable in the clothes you are wearing it is quite likely that you will not be able to concentrate fully in the meeting. It is important to wear something that makes you feel confident. So choose something well fitting i.e. not too tight, too short or too revealing.

4. Be Yourself

The famous British broadcaster Michael Parkinson said, ‘confidence has a lot to do with interviewing’ and this is true of any meeting. Your attire plays a supporting role to your character, so wear something that compliments your personality rather than over taking it. You should speak for yourself and not let your clothes speaks for you.

So those are four simple rules of thumb to help with any wardrobe queries you may have. The most important thing is to dress appropriately as you are ultimately there to do business. So if in doubt try and gauge the tone of the meeting before hand.

STILA RUNWAY SHOW

What I like the most of modeling is the transformation that u can have for each job, and the make up is a key for that. One day a super classy with very sexy make up ( brown and natural tones in the eyes and red lips) the other one a super trashy very rocker style ( smoky eyes and pale lips), the last one is my favorite.

MY DESIGN

This runway show was for Stila a make-up and beauty line, that i love specially the foundation and the lip gloss is amazing, the packaging is very fun too. This year was a very couture, very crazy and artistic theme. In each model they did a completely different make-up using feathers and different drawings and designs that looked like a  tattoo, like mine, were like leaves coming out of my eye was fun but weird the feeling that they are drawing your face. The make up artist was amazing cause she didn't take alot of time and did a  great job.

Lets talk about the clothes now. Cause the make-up was very buzzy the clothes were classy and elegant dresses. Mine was a black sequence dress from DKNY.

Talking about make-up daily i always use natural colors, brown and gold during the day and illuminating pigment from Mac in the t- area (forehead, nose and chin) for  a very natural and shiny skin. If i go out I choose as i mentioned before smoky eyes with a lot of mascara and pale color lips.

LOVIN' THE RED!!!

I must admit that I'm a very obsessive person- when something is on my mind there is nothing  that will take it out. This happens, for example, with certain types of food. I can be eating sushi for months or just seafood for years, and then I'll get sooo tired of it, finally change it and start eating pasta.
And when it comes to fashion it's the same thing.  I love the rock-style look (that's my favorite). Alot of greys and blacks make up my wardrobe. Right now I'm obsessed with the color red. I need that red passion in my daily look. Today I realized from looking at my closet that my last three purchases were a pair of red jeans, a red dress and a red blazer!!.

THE SLAVERY NBA FASHION SHOE

The first thing i 've done today in the morning was read  the news, the first post that really called my attention was this new NBA shoe line that was going to be released in August 2012 designed by Jeremy Scott.
Is this fashion?imagination? creativity? I really don't think so .... insanity is everywhere nowadays and more in fashion, i think designers go too far with their "imagination" sometimes. Thank god people really sabotaged this design and criticized really bad ( no wonder why) before it was released in the market . Adidas canceled the release of the "slavery fashion shoe" FOR GOOD. With chains around the ankle  reminding people such an awful period we lived.... anything but aesthetic, fashion and beautiful!
Good luck with the next one!!!
