-secretaria- look of the day.

Semantic Satiation: When you say a word for so long it loses its meaning.
Someone told me today that I look like a secretaria, I said it for like 3 times and then I asked myself...what the hell is a secretaria. This little thing is called a semantic satiation. It happens to me like once a month. usually with smaller words like fork or clasp. 

aqui esta tu secretaria.
 Target boyfriend Tee ( yes, I love them, I have like 30 of them in every color, 2 in some colors)
vintage red leather skirt {it used to be my mommas and it fit her like a glove, now it fits ME kinda tight, she was a hot momma}
 leaf necklace I got at a boutique in Pacific Beach, California
My fabulous vintage snake print leather belt thats falling apart!
and my shoes! that's my cat Emilio, she likes to wonder around.

As you may have noticed, I tend to play with a lot of blues and greens and aquas with my eyeshadows. it's just that they do wonders for my eye color which isn't a dark brown or a light hazel, they're right in between and these tones make them look WOW. I used MAC eyeshadow in Electric Eel, Nars cream blush for a healthy shimmery look in Lokoum and spearmint chapstick. 
 +
 sometimes i put a little on the inside corner of my eye and it help me look more awake

this specific chapstick makes my lips tingle and if you get too close to my lips you'll get an awesome hint of something yummy.

I straightened my hair a little today just enough to get the frizz and some annoying waves out of the way and it's doing a kind of Alicia Silverstone in 96 thing.

always a pleasure, T.

Oh, I almost forgot. on my walk to work I bought a ring. I love Mexico
                                 and with this I complete my outfit de secretaria.

-ayer- look of the day

my hair is getting heavy and the weather is getting hotter by the day so I just picked it up in a messy high bun.

next art piece

On one of my summer vacations back home I encountered an amazing expo at my Uncle's restaurant Ophelia. It was a show on manta rays in all different kinds of materials. The artist Hector Herrera is a friend of the family and has done several shows in the restaurant. I went back in February to a new show which was about portraits, he did a portrait of each of my uncle's sons Mateo and Nicolas and I was incredibly impressed. I knew he was an amazing artist but those pieces took my heart!

I'll post pics of them when I get home, my uncle has them at his house and my grandmother has a ray piece as well!

I am definitely saving up for one of his pieces!
Here is some of his amazing work, to contact him please visit his website www.hecherrod.com







self portrait.

all pics taken from his facebook page
please consider a piece for your won art collection

always a pleasure, T.

-la cruda- look of the day.

sorry, no look of the day today because I'm super hungover, have been working for the past 10 hours and I want to go home and eat like 45 mole quesadillas and sleep! 

#2 Due to the hangover: I wore casual stuff today, a grey Target boyfriend tee, black skinny RVCA jeans, macbeth sneakers. no jewelry, hair=mess, makeup=sloppy.
FYI: don't drink until 5am and expect to be F-R-E-S-H for work. ugh.

always a pleasure, T.
