I'm here to let you know that Taylor Swift released her new music video today, and I'm in love! It's no surprise that her music videos are really creative, classy and amazing overall, right?! I haven't really stopped watching it, because its flawless. She just brings this newfound sensual and sexy attitude as well as really artsy elements in it, and it goes so well with the song, I'm really satisfied with how it turned out! Also Dominic Sherwood, from Vampire Academy, stars in it! I mean, he's gorgeous, his face is also one of my favorite things in the video! So go and check it out! I'm in love, I may be watching it every day for the rest of the month.
Hello lovelies! I finally got around to make a favorites' post and now it's here.
It took me like a week to make this post, *facepalm* but I made time! So as you know I like to divide my favorite areas and tell you about what I've been in love with the past month!
Artist I've loved this month (maybe since summer, but now even more!):
Sam Smith!
His voice is just divine and I cannot get enough of his album, I'm truly obsessed with it.
My favorite songs are Make it To Me, Latch, Stay With Me, I'm not the Only One & La la la. In the Lonely Hour is freaking amazing and you should check it out!
Movie I finally watched and loved:
Beginners
Starring Ewan McGregor, Melanie Laurent and Christopher Plummer
Thanks to Netflix, I made time to watch this movie I've been dying to see from a long time now, but I sometimes can't put the effort to find the movie online or simply buy it, but I'm so eternally grateful that Netflix uploaded it this past month, I think. The story/plot of the movie is about this man called Oliver who discovers that his father is gay and later on, he dies. Oliver can't seem to shake off his grief over the months after he's been literally shutting down every opportunity to come back to society, up until he finally goes to a party and meets Anna. It is a romantic, independent movie which has a pinch of comedy and it just simply pulls your heartstrings. I adored the movie so much, it is up in my favorites of all time. I give the movie a solid 8/10.
Now up to beauty products:
Maybelline's Precise Eyeliner and Essie's Nail Polish called Strut Your Stuff & Lilacism.
As you can see, the pastel lilac one is called Lilacism and it looks so lovely and delicate on my nails, I should have also added a picture with my nails and the color, but it is so pretty, my mom is currently wearing it on her nails. Strut Your Stuff is the blue vibrant one, it is not a very bright blue, yet it is toned down, but it is a very pretty royal blue color.
Now for the eye liner, a lot of my friends and acquaintances have been asking me about which eyeliner I've been using, because my cat-liner looks so on point, most of you guys have been dying to see which one I've been using. As you see in the picture below, it is like a pen and it is so thin, it definitely helps mark the line that you want, or the thickness of the amount of liner you want on your eye. I looove it, I give it a solid 10. I bought it on a drugstore at $7, very cheap and perfect for an everyday makeup or evening, special occasions look too.
Thank you lovelies and look forward for my next post!
Oi! How are you lovely people! And here are my favorite things of the week for you to consider listening-buying and check out, of course if you want to.
In music, I have for you quite a lot of favorites, and you must check them out! First, I'll talk about Dirty South. He's an Australian DJ; his dance electronic music is just so catchy and really lovely, I can't and you must listen to these songs below, which are my current favorites.
City of Dreams - Dirty South w/ Alesso and Ruben Haze LOVEEEEE.
Until the End - Dirty South w/ Joe Gil (Music Video is so pretty and its love story)
Next, we have DVBBS, a Canadian duo, also DJ's, whom I'm going to see live March 22 in a musical event here in Puerto Rico along with Empire of the Sun as the main artist of this event, and I'm so pumped! I will also write a post about it when I go and I shall link you to it. So this duo is more hardcore electronic music, but it is obviously a club, festival mood setter which will make you jump endlessly whenever you listen to the song.
Here is my favorite, Tsunami:
GUYYYSSS, I also mentioned that I'm going to see Empire of the Sun live, an electronic-alternative band with really unique and genius songs, so I'll leave you with a couple of favorite songs, because I want you to fall in love with them as much as I do!
DNA - Empire of the Sun, Calvin Harris' remix.
Standing on the Shore - Empire of the Sun (faveeeee)
Bought a new handbag: a gray with gold Steve Madden Bag (Honestly in love)
Bought some DVD's: Date Night, We Bought A Zoo (ALL TIME FAVORITE) and What's Your Number? (I forgot to include it on my all time romance films, but yes, Chris Evans, yum!)
Nylon Magazine, February 2014 featuring Vanessa Hudgens! Finally arrived!
One of the top fashion magazines right now, and the style this mag has is really awesome!
Also I'm obsessed with the soundtrack of Endless Love (2014), watched the movie yesterday and I'm numb with the good quality so posting here the playlist from 8tracks:
Well, good day to you! Here is my first weekly obsessions post in where I will write each week, (obviously) about things that have caught my attention and that will hopefully inspire you if you need new recommendations in beauty/makeup/fashion, music or movies.
Firstly in music: Zedd's new single, Find You Featuring Matthew Koma & Miriam Bryant.
So a fun fact about me it's that I really fell in love with electronic music, because of my uncle! He has showed me so many concerts and festivals, since then I've been kind of an EDM head too... (I can make a post of my favorite electronic/dance music artists for you soon) anyway, this new hit single is so refreshing along with his style, romantic and daring, I really like this song, I don't know what more to say about it. It reminds me of Clarity and Stay The Night (his most known songs) it is like a mixture of them, and with Matthew Koma as the main vocals, well yes this song is bound to be loved. Enjoy!
Okay, now for the beauty/makeup session... I bought Maybelline's the Falsies mascara and the Baby Lips lip balm! I'm in love, guys. The Falsies do what you want your eyelashes to do, look uber pretty and incredibly long! Same goes with the lip balm, because I really haven't been protecting my lips with anything, and it is really important so they don't get chapped and nasty looking, Baby Lips will do a flawless job protecting your lips all day.
You can find these in any drugstore.
You know that movies and music are the main thing in this blog, but I also watch Youtube series! This one, some of you may know of, or not, it's called Emma Approved. It's a modern adaptation of Jane Austen's novel of the same name, Emma. There have been multiple adaptations like Emma (1995) where Gwyneth Paltrow is the main lead, and also the famous spin off, Clueless. (I looove both of these movies and they are in Netflix! So if you haven't seen it, go right now and do it!) So, about Emma Approved well it is a really good series that I really enjoy! It returned from their two month hiatus and I'm excited to see how they pull of this really modern idea and plot of the classic novel.
Hello! I am so darn happy, because I finally had the courage to start a blog of my own, and just talk endlessly about my loves: movies, music, and fashion or random things that have caught my attention. Well, my name is Rachel, and I have decided that this first post will be about my current obsession with the English, indie band, the 1975. I have been listening non-stop to their self-titled album for almost three weeks. I bumped accidentally to their album while creating a playlist on 8tracks with their song called "You".
The lyrics were so good, I had to immediately search for their album and download it. Obviously, their most known song is Chocolate, but tracks like Sex, Girls, You and Settle Down are my forever favorites. The whole track list is full of songs that have this indie, but fun feeling, that just simply seduce you to keep listening to it. I have seen multiple interviews in which the lead singer, Matthew Healey, said that their inspirations were mostly 80's music and that the songs can have this power of making you feel like you were in a John Hughes movie (Breakfast Club, Home Alone). So, if you haven't been able to listen to any of their songs, I shall leave you below some of my favorites!
Here's Settle Down (Plus, the video is fantastic.)
And Girls! The video is so colorful and they show their cute side.
