So I sing and we dream



Sometimes there's no need for accesories or too many colors. Sometimes I just want to feel chic, elegant yet stylish without following any trends (well, maybe just one). 

This was a very cold and windy day, I never wear pants and that day I just wanted to feel totally covered. I also wore two coats because one wasn't interesting enough, and it was really that cold!

In time we might walk the straight line



This is the outfit I wore for Christmas! I loved it so much that I used it yesterday so we could take photos of it. There's something about the outfit that it's very Little Red Riding Hood; the cape, the girly skirt and the sweetheart neckline.

Don't be fooled! I'm wearing sheer tights because yes, it was really cold that day and in the night I used socks, boots and an extra coat on top. But it was just for a moment, my house was so warm because of all the food my grandma made that it was feeling like autumn.

Merry Christmas! also, the blog's first year!


Merry Christmas everyone!
I hope everybody had a great time with your beloved ones, ate lots of yummy food and received many fashionable gifts! I also want to say happy birthday to Fake Leather! I started this blog on December 23 because I was bored and had nothing else to do, it's been a year already and I couldn't be happier :) thank you everyone for this lovely and sucessful year.

You are the villain who sends her



It's so wonderful when you can make a great outfit in the last minute using simple and inexpensive items you already had. I totally love this outfit and I see myself wearing it again and again, there's nothing that looks bad with this skirt and a pair of high heels. 

Do you see anything different? I just cut my hair, finally! I'm going to confess something: I haven't had a haircut for about one year and a half, unforgivable I know! but I really wanted it to be really long after I cut it above my shoulders (but then Selena Gomez did it too and I changed my mind...)

If we make it I won't see how it's broken




Showing you the full outfit with the ROMWE's coat, very cheerful and great for winter. Although I won't be very excited about the holidays this time, because an online store charged my debit card with a bill that wasn't mine, so I don't have money for gifts or yummy food or anything. It's going to be solved, I know, but it won't be for a while. So I'm trying to see the "good, non-commercial" side of Christmas and I'm going to make homemade presents for my family. Any ideas?

New in: Romwe's batwing coat


Last week I got the most amazing coat I own to this moment. 
It is from ROMWE and I think it's going to be part of my Christmas outfit ♥ It's pretty warm, stylish and it's red! I also love that its length is like a normal jacket so you can wear it on top of anything and still show your legs or skirts :) The fur collar is a plus, because it's removable!

The coat is still available at ROMWE's site and it would make a great gift if you still need that bright, exquisite and chic jacket in your closet. Please check ROMWE for more amazing clothes, they always have discount codes!

Business cards


Just want to share with you guys my new business cards, designed and manufactured by me, of course! I came with this idea after so many people asked for my blog address when I was talking about it. The design is pretty much exactly as the blog's, because I like clean and simple designs. They are perfect! I love them and now I love when people ask for my blog address and I look totally cool and professional showing these business cards :) they were really cheap too because I cut them all by hand (with an special knife, don't think I did it with scissors haha)

No brakes this time



There's something that I like about the weather in December and it's that usually mornings are cold, days are a little warm and nights are pretty cold, so you can wear many types of clothes depending on your activities on that day. But you know, it's been raining in my city for two days now, and today's been raining non-stop and it's freezing. So I just worn a turtleneck, a jumper, a jacket and a coat on top, on the bottom I have four layers of tights and boots.

Sometimes we just need to learn that fashion isn't for everyday, especially when you spend eight hours of your life sitting in a desk and no one's going to see you, like me. Of course the following photos weren't taken in the last couple of days.

I'm back


The past week has been the most tedious, busy, stressed and difficult of the whole year. I got sick in the middle of finals and there was no energy or motivation to go out and take pictures.  But whatever, I'm back! I finished my 9th semester with pretty high grades and I'm very excited about christmas and vacations.

I'll be posting more outfit pictures soon and everything will come back to normal, I promise :)

On a quick note for my mexican readers, I want to invite you all to SUK, a market organized by PAAR which is a really cool handmade accesories shop. It will take place december 10 and 11 at Mexico City. If you have the opportunity, please go and show some love :) (I wish I could!)

So get your leather on



I don't feel like saying what I've been doing lately, because I don't want to bore anyone with homework, work, social service and that kind of stuff. I owe my body many hours of sleep and I'll pay them as soon as I end this semester. I'm going to sleep, eat whatever I want, sleep, go shopping, have coffee with a friend, did I say I want to sleep? 

However, I like to keep myself busy. I've had this lifestyle rythm since a few months ago and now I feel totally useless if I don't do anything for a day, that's why I keep updating the blog even if I'm pretty stressed about finals for my 9th semester. At the end, this blog is my comfort zone and it doesn't feel like work, I just enjoy it.
