The Best Gift

As you might have already read in my Black Friday haul (actually a whole weekend haul) I bought myself a 13" Macbook Air and it is the best purchase I have made in a while.

It is a pretty expensive gift to buy if you buy it here in Peru, but I went for it anyways because, to be honest, I don't like waiting (who does?) and after a pretty much 7 year in the want I just had to have it. 

Everything began with one of my friends at work wanting to sell her 2011 Macbook Air at a pretty good price. I was determined. I wanted to buy it from her. But still needed advice and just talk it out with someone who knows me even more than I know myself. My mother of course. So I called her and told her the deal and what was going on. She listened to me, allowed me to finish the rambling story I was telling her and just told me: "Are you sure you want to buy a second hand computer?" and that was it. Those words made me realize that I might be getting a computer cheaper but it involved a lot more than just the price.

What's in my Purse?

I have never done a post like this, and it is one of my favorite things to watch over YouTube and some blogs. I love to see what other women carry around their purses and, to be honest, I like taking some ideas from there, people carry essentials that maybe some of us have never thought about, but are pretty obvious.

The purse I am carrying now, I found at a department store and it is pretty! I love the color. It is a beautiful strawberry red, with the side studding. A zip pocket as a flap, two short straps to carry it on the hook of your arm or even on the shoulder and also a longer strap for a long shoulder bag.

A day in the Life: Working it

It's been a while since I posted something. I just wanted to say that I feel awful about that! I missed it so much!

Now that I am working at my internship, my time management has been a little off (read: a lot off). So my writing and my personal life have been compromised a little to try to juggle it all nicely and well done.

So today I will Share how my Day at work goes, and everything.

6:45 am My alarm goes off, I just knock it over and don't pay attention, about an hour later I realize I have to get up.

7:40 am Getting up, Choosing what to wear, getting ready. Have breakfast. All that I do in about 30 minutes.

8:10 am, I put my shoes on (note: I put them on just about time to get to work, because other wise my feet start hurting and I don't feel good)

8:15, Head out of the door and walk to get the bus. Good thing that I have a bus stop 3 blocks away from my house.

The ride takes between 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic and how many stops the bus makes. Hello public transportation system in Peru. YOU.ARE.a.mess.

Then I get out of the bus, and have to walk between 5 or 6 blocks, I have never really counted them, to get to the office. That takes me about 5 or 10 minutes depending on the shoes.

Normally I get to the office about a couple of minutes before 9 o'clock.

9:00 am Get to the office, wait for someone to open and deactivate the alarm of the space we interns work at, luckily we are only two at the moment.

Then I turn on my computer, wait for it to booth for a couple minutes, and display all my stuff on my desk to see what I have to work on for the day. I normally work with research and databases, I have to confirm them and make a lot of phone calls, and when I say a lot, I mean piles and piles of sheets to go through. 

I stay at the office normally till lunch time, which is about 1 pm and the head home. I get there at about 2 because the buses get jammed packed at that time because everyone and their mothers get out of work to eat and to find a fairly empty bus, you are most definitely  going to wait for a while. 

I eat lunch with my lovely mother, rest for a bit and then start working again, sometimes doing the research is difficult and i can stay hours and hours trying to figure it out, and that is when my schedule gets a little puzzled out. 

Plus, my classes start mid March and my schedule is getting more packed! 

SOMEONE! please, help me? :)

I hope you enjoyed my day at the office, pretty boring I know, but that's how my days are coming to be a routine. 

I love you all,

Obsessing Over: Cross-body bags

I have been recently in love with every type of cross body bags, the long strap is just amazing and it give a level of comfort when shopping (duh! shopaholic talking). I had a quite few when I was young, because they where comfortable enough for me to play around and not have anything falling off of  my shoulder and misplacing them (that happened a lot). 

Don't think I have ditch big bags at all. Of course I haven't. I Still love them as much as I love my cross body. They are still super convenient when you have to carry around all of your life to get to classes and work. Which, by the way, I will be doing some post about that soon (sooner than what you expect). 

In the mean time, I will show you which are the cross body bags that are on my wish list. 

Rebecca Minkoff MAC clutch patent leader. 

and well, that is actually the only bag that I have on my wishlist right now, it has been the only one that has caught my eye! 

Which style of bags are you loving right now?

Fashionspiration: Marc Jacobs.

Hey Everyone!

Second post of the day, who knew? I was watching some of the videos the Louis Vuitton YouTube channel has, and found a very special one in which Marc Jacobs, the creative director of the brand, said a very true statement and it made me bedazzled. He said: 

"Change is a great and horrible thing that people love it and hate it at the same time. But without change you just don't move." 

I loved this and totally agree, change may be hard, but if you want to grow and become stronger, you need to know how to handle different situations. 

I hope it inspires you and make a difference. 

have a nice day!

Louis Vuitton Luggage

I see everywhere celebs rocking their LV luggage and they look so fab with them. This makes me want to get a hold of at least one piece of their branch and travel with style like they do. My favourite pieces are the following, sort of a Christmas wishlist for this time of year <3 

I will always love the monogram canvas line because it is the staple for all LV products and just give the brand their identity and their luggage line only comes in it, which is amazing for me. This is high-end fashion for your trips. (one day Stephanie, one day <3) 

For the business trips that one day I'll be doing (hopefully) i think a nice piece to have is the Garment Carrier-5 hangers and is super easy to carry around. 

The next item is this beautiful Alzer 70, which looks like those travel trunks from the past of the early to mid 20's and are just too stylish and a signature of the glam world. 

and last but not least, is this super cute toiletry case to keep all the make-up and the necessities for your traveling experience and doing so in fashion and glamour. 

I hope you guys are having an awesome month and are looking forward to this holiday 

xo,
