Grandma

As I mentioned earlier, I recently travelled to celebrate my Grandmother´s 80th birthday. I had some fun putting together a slideshow with photographs from her life, and I wanted to share this gorgeous photo of her, at 18. Isn´t she beautiful?! My great-grandmother made her that lovely dress she´s wearing. I´m absolutely smitten with this beautiful photograph!

My grandmother is extraordinarily gifted and creative and she loves literature, history, art and music... all interests I´m proud to say I´ve inherited! (She´s also a lot of fun to be around, and is quick to laugh: another trait I love about her!) Another wonderful thing about her is that she has always recognized talents in each of her children and grandchildren and cheered them on tirelessly. And for that, I´m very grateful.
I love you Grandma!

Bariloche

At this very moment I´m travelling to Bariloche with my family, to celebrate my Grandmother´s 80th birthday and a very dear friend´s wedding.  It´s quite a long trip, but I´m excited to see the family, and once again take in the wonderful scenery. I´ve spent many of my childhood summers with my cousins there, but I never cease to be amazed by the breathtaking landscapes. It´s a place that´s very dear to my heart.

Agosto

This weekend we celebrated our anniversary, and my wonderful husband took me by surprise to a lovely hotel, and then surprised me even more, with tickets to the theater.
We went to see Agosto, which I highly recommend! A witty play and an extraordinary cast. Very funny at times, dark and dramatic at others, it kept us constantly on the edge of our seats.

Makes my day

My darling husband brought me these flowers the other day, and they make me smile every time I see them.

Desiderata







Desiderata´s winter collection kind of feels like spring instead of winter. But I like it, it makes me think of a sunny winter day, and it looks light and airy, instead of the usual dark and heavy winter collections.
I think the contrast between the warm pink undertones of the campaign and the cool blues in the lookbook are interesting and it kind of works.

2 years

Today is our second wedding anniversary, and all I can say is that I´m so grateful.
God has been so good to us.
God has been so good to me. He has a given me a wonderful husband. 
A strong and brave man with a tender heart, who always keeps the smiles and laughter going.
I´m proud to be his wife, and feel fortunate to be by his side.
These have been two amazing years. 
Te amo vida.
