Weather: Cloudy

Mood: Astonishingly amused....

I have to do this assignment for uni which involves finding companies that design children’s clothes. I don’t know if I told you my bf’s sister is pregnant with her second child and I kind of drifted off the subject for a bit looking at the most adorable “welcome to the world” baby shower gifts that I could get her and the whole search put me in a really sweet, adorable mood. I’m also pretty amused by the news today, just in general. Our country has got some serious issues but it’s all a little funny to me, how people are seriously deranged. Anyway, my whole “I’m feeling so sweet today” mood landed me in my Hollister skinny jeans - which aren’t so skinny anymore since I’ve been going to the gym quite a lot, now they look like baggy jeans… still, never mind… - an old white T (no plans of leaving the house for now) and my silver ballet flats which my mum brought for me from Argentina years ago… I’m also wearing my yogurt-colored sweater and a purple scarf, mainly ‘cos I decided to play dermatologist on my neck and it’s looking pretty nasty. Not that you needed to know that… moving on, I’m also hoping to take out my Juicy Couture tote – actually I’ve been waiting and waiting on these packages from Amazon for weeks, stuff for my new car, like the cutest emergency kit and the vase and flower that originally come with the car but weren’t there when I bought it (but that’s what the internet is for, right?) and they still haven’t arrived. Maybe I’ll just give them (another) quick call… Hold on… HA! They’re hereee!!!!! OMG gotta run, and if I’m really lucky, I’m also going to the cinema tonight! Fingers crossed!!! –Rx.

Weather: Cloudy, then sunny, then cloudy, then sunny, now... Cloudy

Mood: Nervous

I have no idea what I'm so nervous about. It's going to be fine. This is ridiculous. So my car needs some maintenance, it's only normal; I mean it's a 10 year old car!! I'm being ridiculous! Still, I feel they're about to say something horrible, which is totally not true. So stop it. In any case I feel a bit defensive so I'm wearing all black like a crow. It makes me feel stronger somehow. Ok not ALL black, my jeans are blue. But still. The black leather jacket and the black boots suggest I own a Harley and not a baby blue New Beetle... Oh God I'm going to be sick... Rx. 

PS. As far as the weekend goes, I had a bit of a crisis with my blog, mainly cos I was absorbed by laziness... But just a quick summary:

Saturday: Pink tee and pink Converse - day at the shop with the car

Sunday: White peasant tee and brown knee high boots - day at the countryside for lunch

Monday: Holiday - slept in most of the day, then put on a really cute gray and pink dress and black boots and went out for lunner (lunch/dinner) ;)

Location: Bogota, Colombia

Weather: Rainy, damn it!!! STOP RAINING!!!! I JUST WASHED MY CAR!!

Mood: IT'S FRIDAY!!!

Honestly, how am I supposed to do my regular Friday stuff in the rain? Specially when I have a new car which I totally don't want sitting out in the blistering rain! It should be clear skies up ahead. Anyway, it's still Friday, I guess, and I have my car so... I totally had to look cute today 'cos I have a new car!!!! (sorry) So, after rummanging through my wardrobe for ever this morning, and then changing a couple hundred times during the day, I've finally settled for my smartest, most wonderful jeans from Zara, white T (don't ask about the pic) and my new, totally fab pink blazer which I had totally forgotten I had! I trully believe this would look OH SOOO MUCH BETTER with my pink suede LK Bennets, but, key words in today's entry, RAIN and SUEDE, two words that DO NOT go in the same sentence. So I've resigned to my black knee high boots (sinthetic suede, it's different) and it doesn't look as pro, but whatever. It's cute enough! You know what I need? I need a new watch... Maybe I still have time to hit the shops before the evening starts... I mean I just need something light and waterproof that DOESN'T tic tic tic me crazy in the middle of the night.... Any ideas? -Rx.

Weather: Cloudy, bummer
Mood: If I were happier I'd explode!

Today is without doubt one of the happiest days of my entire life. I can't believe my beautiful sky blue New Beetle is sitting downstairs in my garage. I was so excited I barely got any sleep! It's sooooooooooooo gorgeous! OMG I'm totally going to die of excessive happiness. But I have to keep proportion and not obsess over it... So in other (related) topics, I've got a lot to do today (in my new car!!). For starters I'm going to go out for lunch (no lunch here), take my printer to get fixed at the shop, pick up some packages (the vase and flower of my VW) and then in the evening I'm having supper with a very close friend who I haven't seen in months even though she lives 2 blocks away from my bf and works 5 blockes away from my house. Anyway, I need to look cute for tonight's reunion with my pal, she's very well dressed and picky, so I've gone for my not so black jeggins, white top, pink cashmere sweater and my pink ballet flats. Added my pink Gucci and a pashmina and I totally look the part. Cute yet casual yet totally glam! I love it. Baby, here I come! -Rx.

Mood: Hopeful


Everything this week's gone totally wrong... Everything's upside down (hence  the picture)... It's just so confusing... However...


OMG. Just a few more hours and I'll have my car! I'm way too excited. I need to sit down. Ok, so here's the deal: I haven't blogged because I literally have had no time... not even to eat lunch. RIght now it's cooking as we speak, but before... Anyway, I needed to look nice today, grwon up and propper 'cos I was going to get all the paperwork dome for my car, but as usual, I wasn't about to overdo it, so I popped on a pair of smart jeans with my plain white tee ;) (wink, wink) and i smartened it up with accesories ans heels. Bravo, Rito, bravo! God it was totally worth it. I was even called, Mrs., which I wasn't sure if I was fond of, but whatever. Point it, my wardrobe's saved the day once more! Now, gotta check on my lunch before I burn the house down (yes, almost like the 3 little pigs... but not quite). -Rx.

Weather: dunno, don't care

Mood: Down in the dumps...

This week's gone totally wrong. It was supposed to be one of the happiest weeks of my life, mainly because I was supposed to pick up my new car this morning and by now I should be sitting in it, driving around town feeling completely glam and fab and.... well I'm not. I had to get a stupid migraine today of which I am only now recovering and so I couldn't pick up my car and because of stupid local traffic regulations that means I have to wait 'till Thursday and it sucks BIG TIME... I mean I know it's not thaaaat big a deal, it's not like I'm never gonna have it, I've just waited so long and I was so excited... Anyway, I'm in a really low mood and tonight I'm babysitting my bf's niece so I popped on jeans and a tee and my new pink converse to cheer me up a bit. I'm not too worries what I look like really, I just feel like taco bell and a good movie....Let's just hope tomorrow is a better day...Rx.

PS. just for the record and the purpose of this investigation, I wore trackies and an oversized jumper yesterday 'cos I'm full of mosquito bites and anything remotely tighter would have driven me up the walls... Didn’t blog 'cos I couldn't sit still thinking I was getting my car today... :(

Mood: Happy

I have 3 very good reasons to be happy today:

1. IT'S FATHER'S DAY AND I LOVE MY DADDY

2. I'M GOING TO SEE MY BF THIS EVENING

I'm wearing my cutest flower dress which I bought in London (obviously, flowers, very British) and my flowery sandal's which my bf bought for me when he visited me, also in London (hence the flowers!) And I look totally cute!!! Better start celebrating! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!! - Rx.
