Style Segment: From the 1910 to 1920's

Hey Guys! 

Style is a huge part of our world. It has been a dynamic environment since the beginning of times and has evolved and transcended to history. I have always wandered what has made it change so much and why some styles are coming back these days. Is it because before there was more of a sense of what was correct for the society and seemed more classy and elegant? Maybe we can find this out through the history of style. 

In the time of 1910 all the way through 1920, the style changed more rapidly due to the different  events all the way from the World War I to the sinking of the Titanic. Corsets were rapidly eliminated from the wardrobe scene of women and instead more lose and less fitted because women had to start doing the jobs their men left behind to go fight the war. 

Some other influences started to come their way, like the long tunics of the eastern nations and the colours and designs from them had a space built for the occidental societies. The skirts where some flowy and some very tight that they could't walk normally, instead they had to take small steps so that the fabric wont reap. 

The shoes went on a different transformation and the stitching and the decorative buttons were present. Hats and scarves and umbrellas to protect from the sun were so in style that had a special section in every women's closet. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post, it's part of a series, if you can notice I have tons of them coming your way.

Blast from the past: How to steal a million

Hey guys!

Lately I've been so in to old movies, i love watching the old good ones with Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and more. One of my favourite movies is "How to steal a million" from 1966 starring, Audrey Hepburn. 

This is going to be my special section for all the old movies that I am loving, that's the WHY i am calling this the blast from the past. 

Starting with How to steal a Million. This movie narrates the story of a young woman who's father has become quite a fan of forging paintings from famous artists From Van Gogh to DaVincci and auctioning the creations for thousands of dollars. The plot line is fresh and amusing, there is no way you can fall asleep during the course of it. I think it captures the humour and the conflicts with class and with respect. The things that characterized the society in that era. 

Audrey Hepburn looks beautiful in every scene including the ones where she has to dress as a maid to get out with their most precious item. The character that I loved the most, and stole all the scenes was the father, played by Hugh Griffith, he is an amazing actor and is hilarious and at the time eccentric to play the most high class forger. 

I really really enjoyed the movie is one of my favourite ones till now. It is classic, it is young and I feel it made comedy a great part of the plot.

I sure recommend you to go and watch it and get in touch with the old good movies. 

if you have some old movies to suggest feel free to leave them in a comment below.

Favourite Summer Drink

Hey Guys!

This summer, here in the southern hemisphere, has been hotter than ever and has made me sweat so MUCH,
I am a water drinker but not fan of the freezing cold water becayse i don't like the taste of it, i don't know why.
Instead, I've become a fan of the Crystal light juices from Kraft foods. Clight for the market outside of the US.

It is AMAZING it contains no sugar and is for a litre of water, but I dilute it in 1.7 litres because in that way it is  much more fresh and not too strong flavoured. I put it in the freezer for a while and then just take it out and move it to the fridge.

Also, you can try drinking fruit juices with little to no sugar in them and they are awesome to make the hotness of the summer or of a hot hot spring day cool down and make it refreshing.

This was just a quick post and hope you are having nice days :)

Sweet Treats

Hey guys!

After a really hectic day of filming a short film I am in my home, doing nothing but getting some rest and recharging batteries in order to go and meet with a friend to get out sweet treat! PINKBERRY. It is one of our favourite spots to get something indulgent with our sweet tooth which by the way, we have it strong hahaha! 

Let's say we are celebrating our friendship early and spending some quality time with each other due to the fact that we are not going to see each other the 14th. 

My favourite thing to order in pinkberry is the pomegranate frozen yoghurt with captain crunch, fresh blueberries, strawberries, mango, chocolate droplets, and mixed nuts. i think it is HEAVENLY and i get pretty  pretty happy right away when I order it! 

I hope you guys are having a nice weekend!
