Weekend Diaries XIV


Hey there!

Yesterday I went to the Colonial Zone of my country and here are some of the pictures I told you I was going to take. It was quite a good day and I actually loved it!

I went there with my friend Paulette and we walked like never before, seriously. I got there at 11 am and we visited a lot of places. We discovered a lot of new places and it was great. So, let me tell you a little bit about the exploring day that was....

Paulette's grandparents live there, so we just walked down the street.

We first found a very interesting bazaar with all kinds of things, paintings, lamps, and really weird objects that I've never seen in my life before, it was so amazing.

When we got out of there, we went to this little but fantastic gelateria called 'Cinco Gelato' and it's just sooooo good. I tried the oreo flavor and it was totally worth it. The place was great and they had very good music playing (Feist*).


After that, we walked a little bit more and we visited a super cool art gallery. I don't really remember the name but it was fantastic! They have a lot of very nice sculptures and breathtaking paintings there!


Then, we went to a really beautiful garden and we were so exhausted that we had to sit there for a while. After that, we discovered some of the most beautiful hidden places of the colonial zone, it was so inspiring.

We stopped at a super cool project that's under construction, it's some kind of villa and the architecture of that place is just too beautiful, it's kind of classic but with a very modern twist.

Ahhh, I think I've said too much now! Today I'll probably visit some museums, if you want to see more pictures, you can visit my VSCO Grid or my Instagram.

*Yes, I like Feist.

On the Street... Sarah.

This is my friend Sarah. I met with her yesterday to discuss a project that we have in mind. Sadly, we ended making jokes and watching vine videos the whole afternoon, ahh. I can't help it, that always happens when I see my friends.

I loved the way she looked. I think the orange trousers, the bi-color cardigan and that print blouse worked perfect together. Sarah has always been a very stylish person and the best thing is that she doesn't try so hard. And I have to say, that's always what I'm looking for when I'm taking photographs.

The only bad thing is that the sky turned cloudy and that's why the photos have some kind of grey tone. But I think it looks nice at the same time.

Right now she's studying advertising (like I will) and she told me it's a whole different world. She has to do a lot of things now, from editing videos to taking pictures and drawing, something that she never liked and now she's actually kind of enjoying it. Now she's got her pencils all the time with her, and I think that's so cool!
She even showed me some of her sketches and I have to say, they're pretty good. I'll probably post them here or on instagram anytime soon. She also told me that the students are a bit crazy, but in a nice way and the teachers are pretty cool too.

The only thing that she told me that's not really awesome is the virtual class. She doesn't really love to send her homework via internet. But oh, well... what can I say?

And that's it. That's what happening in Sarah's life right now. Sounds interesting, no?

Changing the subject a little bit... Today I'll be taking more and more photographs (not only street style), I'm very excited! I seriously can't wait to see what I find on the streets :)

What about you? Are you doing anything interesting today? Let me know!

The lazy update


I said I'd write it soon or later. And here it is, the lazy update.

Lately I'm waking up late and I'm spending hours drawing (in order to get better) as I said before, and blah blah. That's my life right now, probably sounds perfect but it's not.

I'd probably go out sometimes with my friends, watch movies, take some street style photos. But that's it. I'm getting used to go out a lot these days.

Well yeah, everybody loves being super lazy at home. And let me tell you something, it made me realize a few things...

  • I need new sweatpants. Mine are kind of old, I think I've worn them too much now. And believe me, there's nothing more comfortable than being all lazy at home wearing sweatpants and eating some junk food, you know it. Right now, I have a crush on these ones by Thom Browne (yup, the ones on the illustration)
  • I need new slippers, too. Just in case. I mean for me it's one of the most timeless and classic pieces one could ever have. If I quickly need to go out, I know they'd be there for me. Anything from Stubbs & Wootton would be perfect.
  • Exercising at home is just the best thing. Really. As I told you, my bike is not working very well (yes, I know I have to fix that) and that means that bodyweight exercises, yoga and running are taking all over me right now. And it feels great! At the beginning I thought I was going to hate it but now I do these things everyday!
  • I should probably post more of my 'real' illustrations. Everybody keeps telling me that. My friends are loving them and I think they actually look better... Ahh I still haven't decided what to do yet.
  • I have to take painting classes. I've never been a fan of watercolor, but it looks soooo awesome. And for me it's impossible to paint with it, I'd say it's a bit difficult. A class should solve that problem, no?
  • I think I don't want to make short films anymore. You know I have a love for filmmaking. Everybody knows that, actually. The thing is, I've been watching a lot of movies lately and I even visited a film set. And yes, my love for movies keeps growing. But I don't think I want it to be a part of my career anymore. Ahh, I'm confused.
  • I never thought I could actually read so many books in so little time. It's crazy. I'm eating all these books as if they were candy. I'll post a list soon.
  • Coffee is one of the best things on Earth. It's my number one drink right now. I drink like 4 cups of coffe everyday and I have no doubt that I've developed an addiction towards it. I feel like I'm swedish.
And that's it for now. Yes, it's a little bit crazy. And I have soooo much more to tell, but I'll do it in another post. Meanwhile I'll try to take as many photos as I can and I'll keep drawing. Oh and I'll keep drinking a lot of coffee too... Wanna come over for fika? ;)
