Back with a Bang!…

…or should i say, bag?

How have you been lovelies?…Good?… Good!

I’ve been, well, pretty swamped with life in general. It seems like my trabajo has slowly crept over just about every aspect of my life – pushing aside my social life (you know, friends and such) and my very fav things to do, ehm, writing. Who can complain though!

So, with the new year literally just around the corner, and with some precious free time on my hands, I figured, what the heck, BRING ON THE BLOGGING. 2012 = time to get a little ME time in.

Figured I’d kick off my re-delving into the blogosphere with another of my very fav things: bags.

I’ve been swooning over Foley + Corinna’s amazeballs (and super-functional) bag for ages now, sooooo when I got an e-mail about their Disco City bag going on sale for just $99, I swiped that puppy up oh-so-effing fast.

I bought me the adorbs Raspberry (which is currently Out of Stock, womp!):

My little gem finalllllyyy came in the mail, and I rushed to open it to only be a tad (well, at first A LOT) dissappointed:

it’s UBER tiny

(As you can see ^ in comparison with my current wallet, which basically takes up the entire bag).

Teaches me for “reading” the dimensions before purchasing.

Oh well, it’s still super soft leather, a gorgeous color, and super light. Looks like I’ll just be using it as a going-out-at-night bag.

Maybe I shoulda bought me the Mid City or the Lady City Tote, hmmmm…

So tell me, have you scored any awesome finds lately? Or are you kicking yourself in the arse for a dumb purchase? Spill!

Corazon Gitano

Elle Spain

Nunca usé un antifaz
Voy de paso
Por este mundo fugaz

No pretendo parar
¿Dime quién camina
Cuando se puede volar?

Mi destino es andar
Mis recuerdos
Son una estela en el mar

Lo que tengo, lo doy
Digo lo que pienso
Tómame como soy

Y va liviano
Mi corazón gitano
Que solo entiende de latir
A contramano
No intentes amarrarme
Ni dominarme
Yo soy quien elige...

...Que soy gitana

Oh, Hello old friend.

Been some time since we last spoke. I know we’ve parted ways for a bit, but I can’t keep you off my mind. It’s true, a million and one things have kept me busy, and away from you.

But this distance is unbearable and I’ve come to the conclusion that yes, I need you in my life.

I need that feeling of letting go, venting my inner-most feelings, expressing my creativity.

And you, yes you sweetie, allow me to do that.

How could I have let you go for so long?

I promise to never ever let this ridiculous excuse of “not having time” ever come between us again.

I’ve missed you terribly. Have you missed me?

I’ve missed those days spent with you in bed, sipping on a warm delicious cup of coffee, discussing for an endless amount of time our thoughts, our inspirations, our dreams. I miss those days when I came to you for clarity in this chaotic scheme of a world.

I miss those days.

I love you baby.

Don’t ever let me go my dear sweet blog <3

With all my love and compassion,

Your long lost (but now returned!) blogger,

xoxo,

Don’t look back

This is a transitional point in my life. A point of no return. Everything that has happened has brought me to this point. No turning back. I need to step forth. Leave all behind. Leap with faith into the future.

I’m on the brink of evolution.

I can feel it.

Let it wash over me.

Spanish soccer player Xabi Alonso poses with gorgeous wifey Nagore Aramburu for Vogue Spain.

Cue cheesy Disney music:

So so perfect, I don’t even know where to begin. (Ehm, can we talk about how hot it is for a guy to cook, on top of being a professional footballer, oh em geeeehhh).

Nagore, you brilliant, charming, magnetic woman you. I applaud thee and thy greatness. *swoon
