Muy Mío

After an exhausting exam, and with the intense need of some relaxing time, my boyfriend and I headed out to the streets and specifically to a coffe shop I had only seen from the street but never entered. The place is called Muy Mío and I was instantly drawn to it for its exquisite decoration, the use of cake pedestals (for some unknown reason I love them) and the food and drinks variety.

For the occasion, I wore my new silver sweater from Mango. I absolutely love the color that though it cannot really be appreciated in the pictures, shines in a very specific kind of way, and I combined it with simple black skinnies and my ankle Zara boots seen in the previous post.

Behind closed doors

After literally being behind closed doors studying as there's no tomorrow (or at least supposed to be, as International Law proved to baffle me in unknown ways and I've just become the most distractable person in the world), there's nothing better than a date with my boyfriend who, due to the exams, I haven't been able to see so much.

To go out I wore for the first time my long skirt from Zara, which well... Let's just say, didn't get the best reviews, my dad stared at me and just said: I don't like it, and my boyfriend just pretended it didn't exist, but well, it's a good thing that one only dresses for herself right? It proved to be the right piece for an incredible dinner.

We went to a restaurant called Versió Original and we had some Nachos (if you are in Sant Cugat, these ones are the best of the city, I've tried them in many other places, and not so good!), and I took a salad and my boyfriend a burger, everything sooo delicious. But then again, I'm a food lover :).

And now, I'm back to the studying, wish me luck, and good luck to all of those who are in the same situation!

Black Swan

It's no secret that I'm a terrible blogger as I hardly ever update, but after watching Black Swan I couldn't miss the occasion of sharing it with all of you. Some of you might have watched it already (it was released in the USA earlier this month) and some of you might not (it will not be released in Spain until the 28th of January), but for those who haven't seen it, this movie is definitely a MUST watch.
In other circumstances I might fear my judgment to be biased as Natalie Portman has always been one of my favorite actresses, but Black Swan is for sure not the case.

Natalie Portman’s performance is beyond perfection, the music (obviously) is extremely beautiful, as well as the make up, the lighting and how the film is shot. That not to talk about the dresses, as it was predictable that Kate and Laura Mulleavy from Rodarte would do a gorgeous job.

Natalie Portman has not only been endowed with the talent of acting but also possesses an irreproachable taste. It is obvious undeniable that she is full of grace, but above it all, I look up at her as a woman who shows the world that if you work hard, you can do it all. I see her as a role model, her intellectuality, the fact that she is a Harvard graduate (she contributed to a study on memory called "Frontal Lobe Activation During "Object Permanence" during her psychology studies at Harvard and after graduating she was guest lecturer at a Columbia University course in terrorism and counterterrorism) and studied, besides already speaking English and Hebrew, French, Japanese, German, and Arabic, and if all of that wasn’t enough, she also has a great sense of humor (see video here).

Well, after my ramblings and musings on the movie, I could not wish you all the best for the upcoming year, hope that it brings you all you ask for and great success in your goals. As for me, I will be working hard on mine to make them happen (and who knows, I might even become a better blogger!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
