Beautiful Ruins

Cute gift ideas (under 50!)

5 things I love...

but don't love me back!!!

I hate when that happens. I put all my love on something beautiful and then the desired item is either not available in my size or just out of stock... or even worse, it looks terrible on me!. The last one is the one that sucks the most, because you convince yourself to get it, pick the 5 items allowed in the fitting room, do the line for the fitting room, try it on, thinking about getting it without even trying it on, I mean, why wouldn't you look awesome on it?...and then slap! How on earth did that happen?! Why don't I look as amazingly cool as I thought I would be? Why doesn't it love me as much as I loved it? So it goes to the sighs section, maybe pin it in one of the boards, tumblr a pic of someone wearing it and end of the story! They just did not love you back. Here are my top 5 lost loves.

Comparto un board con algunas cosas de boda. Pude conseguir los stickers que dicen I do en color azul! Pero no conseguí el collar mrs de Kate Spade. Estaba agotado en todos los negocios a los que fui...Tenian los aritos... pero es como ser doble mrs, no los entiendo. Gracias por seguirme!!! Beso!

Trip to the US

Hi!!!! Sorry I did not post for so long!!! I was in the US, visited North Carolina, DC and New York. I have been to all those places before, so I just focused on my fave places and stores. I think NC and TN are the best places to shop.... you can find really good deals and labels! Their T.J.Maxx stores have amazing stuff (actually, all of them have great things). I also went to all the Juicy Couture stores.... love them!!! and visited some of my fave spots... like Dean & Deluca, Tribeca Grill, Pastis, The Frick Museum, Dylan's Candy bar, Johnny Rockets, Strand bookstore and many many many moreee :D. I actually make a list every time I travel, cause Im really worried I will forget to visit some of these spots. And every trip I add new stuff... for example, on this trip to NY I had an amazing pistachio baklava at a small restaurant close to Times square. I will definitely add that on my list!. 

Here are some pics of this trip.... 

My carry-on essentials

Whenever I travel, these are my carry-on must haves:

A good book. The Help is amazing! Couldn't put it down.

Una mirada dentro de mi cartera. Si bien llevo muchas otras cosas, como pañuelos o papeles, estos diez objetos son los que no pueden faltar en mi cartera. 

First post!

Making the first post is really difficult... What if I mention my fave lipstick and lotions... does that mean it will be a beauty product's blog?... It is complicated! So, to break the ice... I decided to upload this collage. This is me. These are all the things I feel comfortable with. I may wear neon sneakers someday, but would definitely prefer to have some cowboy boots on!

                                                           ..........................................

Elegir sobre que escribir en el primer post es mas complicado de lo que imaginaba!. Para romper el hielo, decidí incluir un collage que muestra todo lo que me gusta. Todas las cosas que me hacen sentir "cómoda" y que definen que es lo que me gusta. Si bien puedo usar prendas neon y otras cosas alocadas... me siento mejor cuando tengo puestas mis botas cowboy.
