Peeerdon! ya estoy de vuelta, me da gusto tener algo mas que enseñarles. Honestamente ha sido toda una aventura después del primer post, pues no contaba con tener tantas descargas de trabajo increíblemente pesadas ya que actualmente estoy haciendo mi proyecto final de tesis para la universidad el cual consume la mayoría de mi tiempo y de igual manera que el blog es un bebe para mi y me hace muy feliz verlo crecer; pero bueno hoy se trata de algo mas especial, hoy le toco a la moda mexicana hacer un showstop en mi blog y en un hanger de mi closet alado de las piezas más icónicas y especiales que forman parte de mi pequeña colección de diseñadores de autor. Se trata ni mas ni menos que de un Arturo Tlaque.

Siempre me había muerto por vestir algo de mi amigo Arturo, el cual mas allá de ser un diseñador joven y muy chingón, se esta posicionando con mucho esfuerzo y talento dentro de esta plataforma de la moda independiente (la cual deberíamos apoyarla mas) en México con una propuesta increíble y gracias a las redes sociales y los blogs poco a poco logra tener mayor exposure. Como ya sabemos spring is here, y para los amantes del gris, negro y botas como yo se vuelve un estado de alerta roja “no se lo que ponerme!” y creo firmemente que uno debe de estar true to yourself, pero jugar un poco y este look lo  RESUME todo. Casualmente hace unas semanas atrás salí con mis amigos al MORBO SALE (los invito a la segunda edición próximamente) el cual se compone por increíbles marcas y diseñadores mexicanos que se reúnen para traer lo mas original a un precio increíble. 

Caminando entre racks y probándome collares ahí se encontraba, solo quedaba uno y fue amor a primera vista, y bueno si abrimos cualquier revista podremos ver que el must de la temporada es tener una pieza en stripes black and white, pero quien quiere ser el must? Por que no tener algo diferente? Y ahí estaba colgado este jumpsuit con un print geométrico-acebrado que visualmente no podía pasar por alto, y claro… too short que me hizo pensarlo dos veces si en verdad era para mi. Solo tomo un poco de presión por mis amigos para vérmelo puesto y bueno… you wouldn’t buy a skirt without asking your friends right?... y para ser sincero no se a quien le gusto mas si a ellos o a mi, todos estábamos encantados con el jumpsuit, así que me lo lleve. 

Y como dice Anna Dello Russo en sus 10 rules of fashion para H&M: wearing night clothes in daytime is unexpected, It doesn't matter the size of your body, fashion flatter everything. Así que decidí estar orgulloso de mis piernas sacándolas a pasear un rato para que les de el sol y armar este outfit con un black blazer de Zara y unas studded ankle boots de Palo-Alto, dejándome tirar fotos por segundo en la pared de mi calle (la cual le descubrí mucho potencial) gracias a mi amiga blogger brunette braid la cual estuvo detrás de este shoot, (gracias por los tips genie y felicidades por tu segundo lugar en los Privalía Blog Awards a mejor blog original) espero disfruten las fotos.

Muero por mostrarles mas outfits pasados que aun necesitan sufrir por un pequeño retoque de photoshop y cosas que aun no estreno de mi closet. Ser blogger es algo muy divertido, gracias a la gente que se toma el tiempo de leer mis posts larguísimos (seré mas breve lo prometo) y darme feedback, la verdad es que muchos pensaran que toma 2 segundos hacer un post y quizá si, pero escribir lo que les quiero decir siempre sucede abriendo el refrigerador y viendo un plato de sopa, haciendo tesis de noche en mis pijamas o en un cafe y esos son los mejores momentos que disfruto al crear esto.

I'm baaaack! I'm exited to have something new to share with you. Honestly it's been such an adventure since my last post, mostly because I didn't expect such a work load due to my working on the final project for my dissertation at the university, which consumes close to all of my time and is a dear to me as this blog. It is so rewarding to see both of them grow and grow, they are my babies. Anyway, today it's about something special, today is all about mexican fashion making a showstop on my blog and one of my closet's hangers by the side of my most iconic and special pieces that make up my little collection of original designers. It is about non other than Arturo Tlaque.

I've always wanted to wear something by my friend Arturo, which further from being a flawless young designer, he is positioning himself with hard work and effort, as a talent in this independent fashion scene (which we should support a little more) in Mexico with an amazing offering; and thanks to our social networks and blogs little by little is getting a better exposure. As we know, spring has arrived, and for the grey, black and boots lovers like me, I know the predicament this imposes as we find ourselves wondering 'what an I going to wear?!' and i firmly believe that one should apply the 'stay true to yourself, but play a little bit' and this look says THAT exactly. 

A few weeks ago I went with my friends to MORBO SALE (which is having a second edition coming shortly and you should go) conformed by an assortment of amazing brands by Mexican designers that gather around to bring affordable and most important original products. So there I was, walking through racks, trying out necklaces, and there it was the last one! It was love at first sight!. (As you know, if u see most magazines) A must have for this season: a black and white stripped piece. But who wants a must? Why not give it a go for something different? And there it was, this jumpsuit with zebra-like geometric print that just caught your eye... and just for a little bit too short, which made me think twice about actually getting it or not. At the end it just took a little of peer pressure to try it on and of course... you wouldn't buy a skirt without asking your friends right?... To be honest I don't know who liked it more, me or my friends, they were all delighted with it and so I took it. 

Just like Anna Dello Russo says with her 10 rules of fashion for H&M: wearing night clothes in daytimes is unexpected, it doesn't matter the size of your body, fashion flatter everything. So I decided to be proud of my legs and take them out for a little bit of sun while putting together this outfit with a black blazer from Zara, and some studded ankle boots from Palo-Alto, taking my pictures at a nearby street from where I live (which I discovered had a lot of potential) thanks to my blogger friend Brunette Braid the master mind behind this shoot (thanks you for the tips genie and congratulations on your second placing at the Privalia Blog Awards for best original blog). I hope you guys enjoy the pictures. 

I'm dying to show you more outfits from the past that need, let's say, a little photoshop re-touch and overall some things that I still keep in my closet. Being a blogger is so much fun, thank you all who take the time to read my posts (the next one will be shorter I promise) and give me feedback. Honestly a lot of people think it only takes 2 seconds to create a post, and maybe it does, but writing about what I want to tell you always happens while opening the fridge and seeing a bowl of soup, while working on my dissertation at night with my pj's on, or at a coffee house. Those are the moments I enjoy the most while creating all of this.
