MISSION::ITALY

One day left until my Mikachus fly to "bella Italia"!!!

How exciting is that!?
I´ve been working really hard to be ready with all the things I wanted to take for this trip: felt brooches, ceramic necklaces, and Lego keyrings...
Hope to have some italian followers soon ;)

Nature of Baden-Baden

I told you a few weeks ago already that I´d be uploading some pictures of that little place called "Baden-Baden". It´s really shocking, in a good way, how impresive and beautiful nature can be. Maybe it´s the fact that there are no such landscapes where I live right now... or maybe it just reminds me to my childhood in Argentina. I never get bored of it: in winter is almost always covered by a layer of white snow, where you can stand in the middle of the night with eyes closed, while listening to the silence. And in spring it seems like waking up from a long sleep... the flowers bloom and the trees fill the place with graceful green.

The architecture of the place is beautiful too, sophisticated and traditional at the same time. Weird enough, all the pictures I made of the city centre were taken with the analogic camera, so I have to wait a bit to have them in my hands. I´ll upload some as soon as I digitalise them.

Hope you like them!!

YOU AND ME 
Baden-Baden // April 2011.

Cookies

Hey there!!!

haven´t post for days.. I feel ashamed about that! But I am still here. Hope everything´s great for all of you. This month is my birthday, so I cannot be more excited (yeah, I´m not 30 yet, so I can celebrate with joy haha). That´s the reason why my boyfriend booked me flights to Germany... yeah, Germany is a big wrapped present, with a big bow on top! :) Good that we are gonna spend Valentine´s Day together, isn´t it? 2 weeks together feels pretty cool.
What are your plans for this Valentine´s monday?

Here, a preview for Patricia. Monster on the way, girl!

BOOMBOX

I just arrived home after 2 weeks in Germany. What a wonderful country! I´ve been visiting Köln, Stuttgart and Baden-Baden... even tho I already been to those places several times, I enjoy discovering new shops, corners, parks, caffees, brands, people. My excuse is always the same one, visiting people... but this time there was something new: attending the Beatsteaks´ gig @ Universum, a cool club in the heart of Stuttgart.

First, the soundcheck. It felt like a private gig, only the sofa was missing in the middle of the venue. Later, the place was crowded with 250 fans and the band started playing the songs of the new album -out now-: BOOMBOX.
I don´t know if you are into punk-rock, I definitely wasn´t before giving this band a go. It was in Nottingham in 2008, where I was studying. I saw them at the basement of Rock City, a famous venue. They are so cool, friendly, charismatic... extremely popular in Germany, and luckily enough they sing in english. I spent last week singing their last single "Milk and Honey" and goes like... "this is the song for those who never ever sit back and recover [...]"
Some pics and the vid of that single. Hope to see them live again soon!
The afterparty was amazing too, but that´s another story :)

Next post... more Germany!

Acabo de llegar a casa después de 2 semanas en Alemania. Que país! Visitamos Colonia, Stuttgart y Baden-Baden... y aunque ya estuve por esas ciudades varias veces me encanta descubrir nuevas tiendas, rincones, parques, marcas, gente. Mi excusa es siempre la misma, visitar amigos, pero esta vez había algo más: ir al concierto de Beatsteaks en Universum, un club situado en el corazón de la ciudad de Stuttgart.
Primero, la prueba de sonido. Parecía un recital privado, solamente faltaba el sillón en el medio de la sala. Después el lugar se lleno de 250 fans y la banda empezó a tocar las canciones de su nuevo album, ya a la venta: BOOMBOX.
No se si te gusta el punk-rock, personalmente a mi no me gustaba hasta que le dí una oida a esta banda. Fue en 2008, cuando estaba estudiando en Nottingham, y los ví tocando en el sótano de un famoso club de allí, el Rock City. Los miembros de la banda son geniales, amables, carismáticos, populares en Alemania, y por suerte cantan en inglés. Me pasé la semana pasada entera cantando el primer single del nuevo disco, "Milk and Honey" que dice así: "this is the song for those who never ever sit back and recover [...]"
Subo algunas fotos y el video de la canción. Espero poder verlos en vivo otra vez muy pronto!
La afterparty tambien fue increible, pero esa es otra historia :)

Proximo post... más Alemania!

Köln shines!

Today I woke up in Cologne, and what a surprise: the sun was shinning! Don't know if so far, I had a terrible bad luck, but it was cloudy, rainy and cold all the time. And today it's just beautiful (and cold, of course). I recommend you coming to this city. It's big, full of little shops where you can browse between clothes of famous labels such as Zara, COS, H&M... to independent designers, especially from Scandinavia (which I admire for the simplicity of their clothes). Yesterday has been a successful shopping day... I love SALES! (who doesn't). The bad thing: didn't have time to go to a second hand shop yet. Let's see if we have time today... apparently my boy is planning a full night -DANGER!-
I feel so happy this morning that I need to post my beloved felt suns... they are shinning on this city today. It's so easy to match colours and play with the shapes. I wear them all year long, to cheer up even the darkest day :)

Hope you like them! Email me for any question!
And don't forget to leave a comment :)


Hoy desperte en Colonia, y con que sorpresa!: el sol estaba brillando. No se si hasta ahora habia sido mala suerte, pero siempre esta nublado, llueve y hace frio. Y hoy esta simplemente lindo (pero frio, por supuesto). Les recomiendo darse una vuelta por esta ciudad. Es grande, llena de pequeñas tiendas donde revolver ropa de marcas famosas como Zara, COS, H&M... hasta diseñadores independientes, especialmente de Escandinavia (a los que adoro por la sencillez de sus diseños). Ayer fue un dia de compras bastante provechoso... Me encantan las rebajas (a quien no?). Aun no he tenido tiempo de pasarme por ninguna tienda de segunda mano, pero espero tener algun ratito libre... aparentemente mi chico esta planeando cosas para esta noche -PELIGRO!-
Estoy tan entusiasmada con el dia hoy que decidi postear mis queridos soles de fieltro, que estan brillando sobre la ciudad hoy. Es tan facil jugar con los colores y las formas! Los llevo todo el año, para animar hasta el dia mas oscuro.

Espero que te hayan gustado! Escribeme si tienes alguna pregunta
No olvides comentar :)

Germany, here I go!

For me, there´s nothing more stressy than packing! especially when it´s winter. I´m never sure of what to take... what if it´s rainy/sunny/snowy/windy?!

My little Mikachus, partners in crime, are starting the journey soon, and soon will be at their new homes. The invasion is about to begin! (once again)
Küsschen!!!

No hay nada que me estrese más que hacer la maleta! especialmente cuando es invierno, porque nunca estoy segura de qué llevarme... y si llueve/sale el sol/nieva/me lleva el viento?!
Las pequeñas Mikachus, complices, empiezan el viaje conmigo pronto, y pronto estarán en sus nuevas casas. La invasión está a punto a empezar!! (otra vez)

Ich fliege nach Deutschland!

GUTEN TAG DEUTSCHLAND!

To all my west-german friends, just to let you know I´ll be there on January 19th, full of new cute little things to share with you. Old and new stuff, including a small Valentine´s Day collection, for those who are in love or just in the mood of filling their lives with hearts.

(IMAGINE A MAP OF DEUTSCHLAND HERE)

BIS BALD :)
