There are times where, instead of speaking your mind out, you just prefer keeping all your thoughts; all your feelings and stack them one by one as if your heart and mind were limitless bookshelves.
However, suddenly you realize your bookshelves aren't truly limitless but you keep stacking until they are full; and you start piling up on the floor, chairs, behind the door; burying yourself in.

I believe friendship is a strong bond. Whenever a friend is overjoyed or, on the contrary, is grieving; we feel that happiness or pain as if it were our own. And, those feelings motivate us or drag us into an abyss or make us ride that rollercoaster of emotions that can inspire so many things.Truly, I must say my friends inspire me. They don't only inspire outfits or aspects of my personality, they inspire music; lyrics and melodies that tell special stories that I can only live through them.
This is the first time ever that I post any of my lyrics anywhere, really. I usually tend to keep them to myself or just share with very few people, just for critique. But, for some reason, I feel that I should share these; and yes, it was indeed inspired by a friend. I only needed one phrase to start writing and capture the feeling of what was being said...
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I walk you every night through the dark
And you don’t seem to notice,
I cry,
Whenever our paths part
I built a house on a hill
Hoping that someday you and I,
I dreamt,
A nightmare, it was all in my mind
I thought I should hang on
I thought I could try harder
Then again…
Chorus:
Maybe I’ll just leave you alone
I’ll stare at you out the window and sigh
Then realize…
That you never ever really were my own
And every time that I hold your hand I will close my eyes
And still pretend that your heart is mine to keep ‘til the end.
Can’t say that I don’t miss your smile
Those piercing gray eyes that now cloud up my skies
I failed,
I tried, couldn’t make you mine
And I color with crayons a life,
that I know I’m cursed to live without you,
I bustle,
It’s all black and white
I thought you belonged with me
I thought you’d be able to see
But then again…
Chorus (maybe like 2 times):
Maybe I’ll just leave you alone
I’ll stare at you out the window and sigh
Then realize…
That you never ever really were my own
And every time that I hold your hand I will close my eyes
And still pretend that your heart is mine to keep ‘til the end.
Bridge:
Of time, with you by my side I knew I was stronger,
Your company just made every second seem longer,
I believed my arms were your home, can you grow fonder?
To whom does your heart belong to, I wonder?
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Hope you guys liked it. I'm kinda having trouble choosing a name for it so if you all have any suggestions they are totally welcome!
I'm still working on the music for it, and maybe (only maybe) I'll tape myself singing it and post it (if I get the nerve, lol).

I believe this is the first time ever that I've blogged about Children's Fashion. For some reason, there is something sweet about kids clothing; it's cuteness and innocence and of course how small the garments are, but I believe it's even sweeter when it stretches out and gives a helping hand.
Tea Collection is a Children's Clothing Fashion line that has partnered with The Global Fund for Children; a great organization that donates money to strengthen community-organizations that serve children in a variety of areas such as education and child well-being in countries all over the world. 50% of all their proceeds go to the Global Fund for Children Organization. If you still are searching for a charity to help out these Holidays, make sure to check this one out.
Oh and Add me on Twitter!! I opened up an account and have 0 followers, actually I'm trying to get the hang of it, kinda struggling here, lol.
Great Anniversary Giveaway is coming up on the 22nd. So, make sure to stop by and enter. =)
Being completely honest, I truly am not into today's pop artists and their style. I very much hate it sometimes when they are named fashion icons and/or turn into fashion designers and haven't even set foot in a design school. Ok, enough with the rant.
Now this editorial has made me make an exception. The New York Times Style Magazine featured Taylor Swift in their most recent issue and I must say how impressed I am with this shoot.
It was an Alice in Wonderland inspired shoot that definitely took my breath away. I must say I admire how poised, elegant and sweet she looks in every pic. I adore how the makeup looks on her and how she adds grace to everything she's wearing. She totally earns the title of fashion icon in my book. So, which star do you think deserves the fashion icon title?
Finally, my last week (final exams are over this week!). I have a test tomorrow and I know I should be studying but I'm too busy procrastinating, lol. Oh and stick around, I'll be having a giveaway to celebrate Diary of a Young Designer's first bday! Wish you all a sweet week! Ciao =)
As you all may know from my past post, I kinda have been feeling a tad blue and recurred to that one thing that makes us fashion lovers gloriously happy: shopping.
Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for your sweet comments, I am feeling somewhat relieved at the moment; maybe because I'm not really thinking about it that much.
Black Friday was a bit glum here, couldn't find loads of sales but some little items were at a good price. I got some Sephora Liquid Eye Liner for $10.00 -but I think that's the normal, everyday price- and very very red lipstick -that I probably won't leave the house with (this was for like $5.00 I think). Oh, and Lula Mag (I'm in love with ALL photoshoots - this wasn't on sale tho).
Up to the third floor of the mall! Got these cute boots at Forever 21 for only $12.50!! My sister pointed at them and I just grabbed a size 6 off the rack (funny thing is, I'm a size 5 haha).
And forgot to tell you all, I wear glasses now... I've had these for a couple of weeks already, they are a cute DKNY model that kinda makes me look a bit geeky/indie-ish (this according to my friends and students, lol).
Final exams week is coming up and must... cram... for... tests... However, I'm glad it's almost over; can't wait to unveil what next semester has in store.
What are you shopping for? PS: Diary of a Young Designer turns 1yr old this Dec. 22! I'm planning on having a giveaway to celebrate so hang around!!
Congrats to Robyn from Fashionista 514, winner of my Blog B-day Giveaway! The winner was drawn out of a bowl full of all entries. =)
