Bang bangs!

(Some of you might already know about this from my FB/twitter)
So yesterday I was pretty stressed about the way my bangs looked and I kept thinking that I needed a change so I took the scissors and bam! I cut my bangs. Just like that!
I've got no knowledge whatsoever about hairdressing so it's a miracle that it doesn't look like a complete disaster but heck! you've got to do what you want, or to try it at least!
Otherwise I'd just keep complaining about how much I needed a change and that I didn't know what to do and so on and so on, so I thought that the best way to do something was to actually do it.
You know how it goes:

Do or do not, there is no try.

(Es probable que algun@s ya sepás de que va la cosa por mi twitter/FB)
Pues ayer estaba bastante tayada con el tema de mi flequillo y cómo se veía y no dejaba de pensar en que quería un cambio, por lo que cogí las tijeras y me dediqué a hacer un poco el apaño. Tal cual!
No tengo ningún conocimiento de peluquería, por lo que es un milagro que no haya quedado hecho un desastre!

La verdad es que soy de la opinión que si algo te ronda la cabeza y tienes la necesidad de hacerlo y lo quieres, lo mejor es que vayas y lo hagas, no solo que lo intentes o que te quedes pensándolo!
Ya lo decía Yoda... xDDDD


So... This is how my bangs looked before my impulsive scissor attack:
Así que bueno, así es cómo tenía el flequillo antes del impulsivo ataque de tijera:


And this is how they look after it!
Y así es cómo ha quedado!


Also, an extra selca (aka camwhoring) shot for all of you, with pouty lips and everything:
Y de regalo una autofoto (que camwhoring se entiende igual) con labios sugerentes o patiles, como se prefiera xDDDDD (el día que me ponga a sacar los labios de verdad temblará Donald xDDD)


As you might see, I had my SLR in my hand there. Well, the thing is that no matter how much I try, I don't like the way I look in pretty much ANY pic I take with that cam if the lights aren't like uber fantastic (or sunlight), and since usually that only happens in the bathroom... I won't post any good quality pic for now.

Como podéis ver, tenía la SLR en la mano y bueno, la cuestión es que da igual cuanto lo intente (porque lo intento, lo aseguro), no me gusta cómo salgo en CASI ninguna foto que hago con ella a no ser que la luz sea fantástica y estupendosa y... bueno, eso solo suele pasar cuando: a) tienes focos, b) es de día o c) estás en el lavabo. Así que por ahora no habrá fotos bonitas xDDDD

Well, what do you think about the change?!

Bueno, qué pensáis del cambio?!


BY THE WAY!
I was also trying to record a sort of tutorial for the eye make-up I'm wearing in these pics, which is based in Yun's style in one of the pages of this A/W Egg Beauty! I was thinking about doing a series of inspired styles from the magazine so I can start posting more make-up content!

Sadly, my cam stopped recording halfway and I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't have the time to remove everything  and start again, so I chose to let it go. But, do you like the idea? Would you like to see a "tutorial" (I don't like the word tutorial) on this style and the idea of my inspired series?

Let me know and thanks for reading!

POR CIERTO! Estaba intentando también hacer una especie de tutorial para el maquillaje de ojos que llevo en esas fotos, que está basado en uno de los estilos que Yun lleva en la edición de otoño/invierno de la Egg Beauty (que me compré en el salón del manga)! Estaba pensando hacer una serie de maquillajes inspirados en los estilos de la revista para empezar a postear más contenido orientado al maquillaje, que por lo que ví interesa!

Desgraciadamente la cámara decidió mandarme a paseo a la mitad, y como tenía un poco de prisa no era plan de quitármelo todo y volver a empezar, así que preferí pasar, pero así os puedo preguntar primero! Os gusta la idea? Os gustaría ver un "tutorial" (o lo que sea, porque no me gusta el concepto de llamar tutorial a lo que pueda hacer, ni que sea yo una experta en nada! xDDDD) de este estilo y la idea del resto de estilos inspirados así como una serie?

Comentadme algo y gracias por leer, como siempre!!

Hair boredom

Hey !



I'm writing this entry because I want to do something with my hair but I'm unsure about WHAT should I do.
I know that I want darker hair and I've got a few ideas but I'm a bit afraid of changing because I might miss my current blonde (even if I think that I've gone too far with going to a lighter shade each time, lol).

Escribo esta entrada porque ya llevo un tiempo pensando en que quiero hacerme algo en el pelo (oscurecer, la idea es oscurecer), pero no me acabo de decidir en qué quiero exactamente. Llevo un tiempo pensando en que me aburro de verme igual, que necesito hacerme algo y cambiar, y por otro lado en que me gustaría tener un color con el que no tuviese la necesidad de decolorarme las raíces cada vez que me hago algo porque a este paso... no me va a crecer el pelo nunca y no me gusta cómo me queda con la largada que lo tengo (bueno, digamos que me gusta más largo).

It's just that I need a change. I'm bored of always looking the same way, and I also feel like I should reach a shade of blonde that didn't demand me to previously bleach my roots, or my hair will never grow again (and I really don't like the way short/medium hair -well, my current length- suits me).


Lately I've been in love with Mipoti's hair:  medium blonde base, lighter/darker streaks all around. Maybe I should just do some darker cap highlights and see if I like it, but Idk. I'll probably get some ring extensions too.

Estoy cogiendo mucha inspiración, o digamos que me llama mucho la atención el pelo mechado multicolor con rubio (medio? oscuro?) que lleva Mipoti en algunas fotos, así que lo más probable es que busque hacerme algo similar. Eso sí, poniéndome extensiones (probablemente de anilla, porque estoy hasta el ... las narices de tener el pelo "corto"). Quizá pruebe a hacerme mechas de gorro a ver qué tal queda, porque no me apetece cambiarme todo el pelo de color de golpe.

Let me show you some (more) inspirational pics of Mipo's hair!

Os dejo ahora con algunas fotos inspiracionales (más) del pelo de Mipo para que veáis a qué me refiero!


Well, I have to admit that I have a huge crush on her, but that's something totally different....

Outfit compilation 1: First half of November


 Hi guys!


As you might see there have been some changes in my blog! It's still under construction so don't worry about anything that might look weird! I'm open for input, as always!

Since one of the winner options was the detailed posts of outfits, I've prepared a post with my some of my outfits (the ones I've liked the most and I feel less rushed and such) from the last two weeks!

And here we go!

Dress: Yumetenbo
Hairpiece: Gold's Infinity (It's a ribbon from a dress!)
Boots: Forever 21

Here I was wearing my recently dyed clip-on extensions in order to give a note of color to the whole combination.
The point or goal of this outfit is trying to be sexy but elegant!

Shirt: Forever21
Tee: Bershka (if I'm not wrong, it's really old!)
Shorts: Bershka
Accessories: Claire's (Maggie -Queenie- gave me that necklace <3), random shop, Bijou Brigitte
Shoes: Studded boots from Teenagers
Wig: Prisila

This was a casual outfit for a Sunday afternoon! 
Set: Real Ma*rs
Boots: Same as before (I've fallen in love with them)
Wig: Prisila

I wanted to try out the new clothes I had recently gotten from Mbok, and this Ma*rs set was undoubtedly my first option!
Top: d.i.a
Skirt: NewYorkers
Belt: Bijou Brigitte

To my taste, I need a d.i.a belt to suit this kind of outfit, and I should LOSE SOME WEIGHT URGENTLY!!
The point of this outfit was cute x sexy (hence the pigtails, lol).

Dress: Liz Lisa
Top: Bershka
Boots: Camper
Wig: Prisila

I wanted an elegant and girly but autmn-ish look in this outfit. I took the last pic at Sephora, where a very nice girl helped me choose a lip-stick that unfortunately was out of order!

Top: Forever21
Skirt: TutuHa
Necklace: Claire's
Boots: Teenagers

Outfit for work+class. This season makes me dress in black more often. I tried to make something different with my make-up but I didn't quite like the shape of one of my eyes (even if I didn't dislike the end result). As I commented at my tumblr, when you're busy all day (from 9am to 9pm out of home, and I've got to wake up at 7 most days!) you can't have as much time as you'd like and sometimes things don't come up as clean as they could be!
(and that's why I dislike most of the outfits of the rest of my two weeks and don't even want to post them, LOL!)
But I guess that's the downfall of wearing the style on a daily basis!

Shirt, necklace, headband: Forever21
Skirt: NewYorkers
Belt: BijouBrigitte
Tights: Stradivarius
Boots: Teenagers

Since I had recently dyed my hair a purple/gray-ish shade and I had bought these tight I wanted to try on a more rock/adult/mode/edgy style. I'm not a big fan of how short hair suits my face shape (that's why there are no close-ups hah!), but I like the global concept of the outfit. I was somewhat uninspired that morning, though, but I like the way it looks now!

And that's all so far!!
Thanks for reading and for any feedback you might give! <3

PS: By the way, would you like me to break long posts like this one with a cut or would that be more bothersome than anything?!
