Uni Life 6

I can't believe it's July already! Well another month is gone and that means is time for a new Uni Life chapter. I know I haven't posted in a while but I promise, I have a few post on draft just waiting to be out there. 

Shooting in the garden

Hello gorgeous humans, today I have an outfit post for you guys! I know, how weird, I rarely do those posts even though I'm always telling myself to do them. I will try to make more of those, even tho I can't promise you that there will be outfit posts every week, maybe two or three times a month, maybe.

Here I'm wearing a grey oversized crop top and black shorts with grey detailing, both items from Forever 21; some sandals with a tribal detailing, I bought this ones at a shoe store called Ego; my necklace and rings, which you can not see very well on these pictures are also from Forever 21.

Hope you liked it, if you would like to see more outfit posts let me know on the comments, or tweet me, or message me on tumblr. Also don't forget to follow me on instagram I'm always on there.

Uni Life 5

I have decided that I'll be posting a new Uni Life at the end of each month, that way there is going to be more things to talk about.

On may I started my third semester of uni and it's been exhausting so far, there's so much work to do.

I went to a marathon this month and ran and it felt good :)

This month was the opening of Forever21 and everyone was going crazy. Also, it was my nineteen birthday this month so I decided to go to the opening of F21, which was the same day as my birthday, and buy some things as a birthday present for me from me :)

Not so much happened this month now that I think of it. I'll leave some pictures that were taken this month at the end.

P.S.: The screen of the computer I was using cracked so I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to be posting till I get it fixed. I know it's not like I post every day or every week, but I try to. Also I'm working on some outfits posts that you'll see soon and in my facebook page so I'll let you know when you can go check it and maybe like it?

He decidido que estaré publicando un nuevo Uni Life al final de cada mes, de esta manera habrá más cosas de las que hablar.

En mayo empecé mi tercer semestre de la universidad y ha sido agotador, hay mucho trabajo por hacer.

Fui a un maratón este mes y corrí y me sentí bien J

Este mes fue la apertura de la tienda Forever21 en mi país y todo el mundo se estaba volviendo loco. También, fue mi cumpleaños 19 este mes, asi que decidí ir a la apertura de F21, que fue el mismo dia de mi cumpleaños, y comprar algunas cositas para mí J

Ahora que lo pienso, no ocurrieron tantas cosas este mes. Al final del post les dejo unas cuantas fotos que fueron tomadas este mes.

P.S.: La pantalla de la computadora que estaba utilizando se rompió, asi que estoy tratando de ver como voy a publicar hasta que me la arreglen. Sé que no es como que publico todos los dias o todas las semanas, pero lo intento. También estoy trabajando en algunos outfits posts que verán pronto y en mi pagina de facebook, asi que les dejare saber cuando pueden ir a visitarla y tal vez darle a me gusta?

April 2014 Favorites!

I know I skipped a month and honestly, I dont even remember if I loved anything in particular on march.
But let's start with this months favorites.

• Divergent (the movie). Loved it! Was excited when I walked in, excited when I walked out. Can't wait for Insurgent.

• Neutrogena healthy skin eye concealer. Decided to give it a try and ended up loving it. It makes me look awake, so I like it. 

• Xpress your face lotion 3 in 1 by cyzone. This is kind of weird because its a lotion that cleans, exfoliates and hydrates your face; and its made with oatmeal and grapes. It smells amazing and I feel like it actually works. You can even see from the picture how the letters have slightly come off.

• Game of thrones Season 4! I don't know how to explain how much I love this show. And this season it's amazing! I kind of want to talk about what has happened but I don't want to spoil it in case you (yeah, you, the one reading this) haven't seen it.

Uni Life 4!

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! It's been awhile since the last time i made one of those. So, I'm gonna try to tell you what has happened since this year started. A new year, a new semester. My second semester to be exact! Which has finally ended! And I'm very happy about that!
This semester I took design and illustration classes for the first time, if you remember my January Favorites I talked about those classes. I also took the not so fun history class, and textile class, which wasn't fun either but we always left earlier than we should so it's ok! I also took "normal" classes like sewing (level 2) and patterns class (also level 2) ;)
This semester has been really stressing me so, it's normal to be very excited and happy to have vacations! Even if it's only for two weeks.
I know I always say I'll post every week, but I promise I'll try to!! so, without further ado, I'll "see" you all next week! (that's the plan).
I'll leave at the end pictures of my finals and outfits that i've wore lately and all that kind of stuff.


HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! Ha pasado bastante tiempo desde la última vez que hice una de estos. Por lo tanto, voy a tratar de decirles lo que ha sucedido desde el inició de este año. Un nuevo año, un nuevo semestre. Mi segundo semestre para ser exactos! Que finalmente ha terminado! Y estoy muy feliz por eso!
Este semestre tomé clases de diseño e ilustración por primera vez, si te acuerdas de mis favoritos de enero hablé esas clases. También tomé clases no tan divertidas como historia, y la clase de fundamento textil, que no era divertida tampoco pero siempre nos dejaban salir antes de lo que debíamos así que esta bien! También tomé clases normales, como costura (nivel 2) y patrones (también de nivel 2) ;)
Este semestre ha sido realmente estresante, asi que es comprensible que este emocionada y feliz de tener vacaciones! Aunque sea solo por dos semanas.
Sé que siempre digo que voy a publicar todas las semanas, pero les prometo que lo intentare! Asi que, sin más preámbulos, los "vere" a todos la próxima semana! (ese es el plan).

Happy Things

Helloo, I’m back as promised, and since I’ve been sick and feeling down for the last couple of days I decided to make a list of some of the things that make me happy and cheer me up.

• ·  Reading.
• ·  One person dance parties. You know which ones I’m talking about.
• ·  Singing aloud to your favorite song when no one’s around to listen.
• ·  As cliché as it may sound, music in general.
• ·  Rays of sun.
• ·  A good cup of tea.
• ·  Cozy sweaters and blankets. Unfortunately, I live in the Caribbean and can’t use them as much as I would like.
• ·  Laughing so hard you think you’ve got abs.
• ·  Taking long baths. So relaxing!

Those were some little things that make me happy. Leave a comment below telling me some things that make you happy and any suggestions you have for future posts.

I also wanted to let you guys know that I made an Instagram account for this blog, so you can check that here and maybe follow? Is just a bunch of outfits ideas and things I like and find interesting.

Love,

Karla x

January 2014 Favorites!

I won’t make any excuses of why I haven't post anything in the last month, like I was too busy with school work, or I was way too busy in general; yes, I have a few school work that needed my attention but that isn't a valid excuse since I had a lot of free/lazy time that I could have used to write. The truth is that I wasn't inspired or motivated to write on here this month, but now I'm back. Yes, I'm back and I hope to not feel like this past month anymore.

So, starting with the subject of this post, my January Favorites, I will like to say that I don't have like a lot of favorite things this month and it might be a little bit boring. And now that you’ve been "warned", let's get started:

• My Paulo Coelho "Alas Y Raices" 2014 agenda. Yes, I've been loving an agenda this month even though I don't use it as an agenda, I kind of use it as a journal were I write every single day about how I felt and important things that happened that day. I find this very therapeutic and that way I can keep spontaneous ideas there, maybe for future posts, who knows.

• American Horror Story. I watched all 3 seasons this month and you could say is now one of my ultimate favorite’s shows. I just love it and I can't wait for season 4.

• Double Chocolate cookies from LaPanera. I bought these cookies one day at the supermarket and absolutely loved them. They taste like brownies, literally! They come in a little box with six cookies. By the time I took this picture the box was long gone and these were the last two cookies.

• Cashmere glow body lotion from Bath & Body Works. I just love the smell of this so much; it's a really fresh smell.

• My illustration classes at university. Okay. This is probably one of the highlights of this month. The classes are super fun and I've learned so much and I feel all professional now.

• Teen Wolf. I honestly don't know how to describe my feelings for the second half of season 3; I only can say "asdfghjkl". It's AMAZING! And the wardrobe of Holland Roden and Crystal Reed! AHHH! I just love this show, okay? okay.

• House of Hades by Rick Riordan. I talked about this book in November I think, and I still haven't finished it, I still have a couple of chapters left but I love it so far and it's awesome. I probably say that about all Rick Riordan’s books because I just love his series and the way he writes. If you are into greek and roman mythology I recommend you to read his books. (If you love Percy Jackson as much I do, leave a comment below telling me which one of the books is your favorite).

• Motivational Mondays. This is a series of posts that the lovely and amazing Louise (SprinkleofGlitter) bring to her readers every Monday to keep them motivated on this hideous day (because everyone hates Mondays). You can read them here. And also check her youtube channel here.

• Playing cards with my grandma. You probably are like "what?" by this point, but I spent a lot of time at my grandma's house this month and we played cards, lots of cards. And may I say I won a few times. (And I'm proud of it since is very difficult to beat my grandma).

And I think that was it! Leave a comment below telling me some of your favorite things this month or anything else you want to comment about (maybe you’re glad I’m back?).

I hope you had a lovely month, and I would “see” you next week (hopefully)!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year lovely people! I hope you had an amazing NYE with the one you love and care about. Unlike most people, I spent my NYE at home catching up with all the shows I like before the winter premiere starts next week and today at my grandma’s house playing cards with her and my siblings.

I'm not going to be like lots of people saying 2013 was the best year of my life, I'm not going to lie, it was pretty good to me, kind of; I graduated from high school and started university, I started this blog, I got my license but most importantly  I've grown as a person, I learned to accept myself as I am, I’m more confident and I don't pay as much attention at the bad things that people say as I used to, I think more positively, something I didn’t do much on 2012.

Honestly I’m really excited for this New Year and I cannot imagine what is going to happen but I can't wait to experience new things, meet new people and discover more things about myself that would help me become who I want to be.  

I used to make superficial resolutions like: get a boyfriend, get more money to buy shoes, etc., but I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t need those things to be happy so I decided to have realistic resolutions for 2014, things that would make me grown as person and would guide me on the road to achieve my goals and dreams.

My 2014 resolutions:

• Ok, so this one is always going to be on my resolutions, year after year, until I end ALL my studies. Get good grades and lucky for me I never fail on this one.
• Get out of my comfort zone, just a little; I don’t have to go cray cray.
• Take every opportunity I’m given, I realized I can’t keep saying no to all the chances I’m given because even if it goes wrong I’ll learn something from it and it would make more wiser.
• Be more sociable, you probably don’t know this but I’m very introvert. It wouldn’t be bad to be a little more extrovert sometimes.
• Be more healthy, last year I said I was going to be more healthy and I kind of achieved that but it won’t kill me to try (again), not after all I’ve eaten on the holidays. In this part comes the part of exercising, and this is something I definitely I should do more.
• Use more my social medias (twitter, instagram), I already use my tumblr tumblr2 too much. this also includes blogging more.
• And last but not least, keep going! No matter what happens.

I hope you had a wonderful day and have an incredible 2014; hopefully you guys will stay around to share it with me.

Till next week,

Karla 

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful time today!

Last Sunday I went to a “Christmas dinner” with my friends; we couldn’t be bothered to cook so we ordered some pizza (yes, I know, very christmasy of us). Here’s a little picture of a tree and a bike that my friend has on her roof covered with fairy lights.

 Also I got this present on Sunday. If you’re wondering what it is I’ll give you some hints: its white, sweet and it says Hershey! My best friend knows me very well.

 This year I helped my mom to make the dinner for Christmas Eve. I had a blast doing it, not because I was cooking but because I was dancing (like a lunatic may I say) to some of my favorites Christmas playlists on 8tracks. I absolutely loved “Christmas dubstep” by SickestNoel, you can listen to it here.

 When it came to getting ready I wasn’t very pleased. I wanted to make a red dress but I was feeling lazy so instead I wore something I already had, a little cream dress from Mango and a blue cardigan because baby, it WAS cold outside. I also wanted to curl my hair but I was having a bad hair day and I ended making a fishtail braid. On the other hand, I think my make up looked really good, simple but pretty.
