Whe I wanted to be like Marianne Faithfull

Hi there everyone!

Today we made the photoshoot and I think that the editorial it's gonna be good... but I'll talk about it better really soon.
I'm so tired today, so I only had read your lovely comments (thak you! tomorrow I'll answer all of them, promise ;)! ) and listened to old Marianne Faithfull songs.

(more here)

Whe I was about 16 years old I just wanted to be like her. And I don't know why... I mean, I was so involved with punk music in that time... but I loved her so much, and she was one of my icons for sure, specially during her 60s career.

 

I used to sing As Tears Go By everytime I broke a heart or my heart was broken; this is something that only a few people knew before I told you here, it's funny... because I'm sure that my mother doesn't know this!

Did you had a secret idol when you were young? An idol that only you and a few people knew about it?

 

I could love Joan Baez (my mother used to listen to her so much); or maybe another one... but I fell in love with her and her voice.

That time was a good time... when I wanted to be like Marianne Faithfull.

Btw, today's my mum's birthday... so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUM! I love you!

Ridding a scooter is driving me crazy.

I can't sleep tonight, but I'm not so inspired too for writting a long explanation here... so I leave you with a little bit of inspiration... I so badly wish I could go to Carnaby Street back in the 60s...

Where did all the true rude boys go?

I don't know why but I want an Union Jack...

These days I don't know why, but I'm thinkins so seriously about leaving Spain in the next few months and moving into UK, Germany or Sweden... well, I know that I would end my days on Sweden, but the other two countries are beating so deep in my heart... specially the UK, just because I can't stop listening to The Who and think about that gorgeous Union Jack jacket...

Or the Big Ben... 

Or the Mods... 

Seriously, I can't stop listening to The Who and some other great (and well dressed bands) as The Kinks...

The Rolling Stones... 

Or The Small Faces...

I'm obsessed with the 60s and the well dressed men!

And you? Wich one is your current obsession?

Where the streets have no name...

Merry Christmas again to all of you!!

Are you having a great time? Here at Algeciras, where I am at the moment, is raining... and raining... and raining more!! God this sounds crazy, but if this continues like this, I'll need a boat to go out!!

My Christmas' night was good, with all my family; and after dinner, I went out with my beloved Rose and Miguel Luis. It was raining cats and dogs, but it didn't matter so much! I just wanted to go out for a couple of hours, so we went to the pub where we always go...

 

My lovely Rose!!

Me doing the dumb (as always, hahaha!)

Dress - Vintage (bought at Flea Market)

Tights - Calzedonia

Shoes - Wonders (second hand)

Yellow Ribbon - Offbrand

But despite the wonderful night, there was one thing that made me feel strange. I know sounds weird what I'm going to explain now ... but the City Hall of Algeciras is changing the tiles in the main street. And while it's silly, I was sad. The tiles ever since I can remember, had been, with fish ...

 

And now these fish have changed by a cold tiles and smooth. Also, before there were some lovely benches where to sit, and have been removed, placing trees.

 

No more benches!!

This made me think of the time, and how changing urban structures. What was once a classic for me, something unalterable ... now it is not. They have changed something I had known since forever, like things have changed since my mother was my age. And I wonder how it will change when the daughter of my cousin Mario, a few months, be my age. It made me feel strange ...

Anyway, I won't leave you without recomended you a film I saw yesterday night... The Boat that Rocked!

This film talks about the pirate radios that existed at UK in the middle 60's. It's full of good music and gorgeous sixties' clothing; and it's very funny indeed. If you're a lover of good music and 60's fashion... you must see it!!

 

 

 

Philip Seymour Hoffman, I love him!

 

Rhys Ifans

You must see it, I'm sure you'll love it!

Have a lovely Saturday!

Friday inspiration: Happy anniversary, Twiggy!

Hi everyone! It's been a few days without writting, but I'm back! I've been a little bit busy!

But before we talk a little about my week, I'd like to share with you some pictures of twiggy in honor of its sixtieth anniversary.

Twiggy is still today one of the most charismatic and groundbreaking women on the planet. In the sixties her image and innovative mod look broke with the previously established stereotype. While I have always found extremely thin, also I find it fascinating and beautiful woman.

Congratulations on your sixtieth anniversary, Twiggy!

Also, looking for pictures of the famous model, I met Mary Quant gaps and designs that I love ... and that makes me think of a dress I saw the other day and you can buy me, because I love it!

The Stones with a Patty Boyd wearin a Mary Quant dress.

And I can not speak of the sixties without mentioning my great idol, Davi Bowie ... how handsome he was! Do you know that my father looked like he was young? Let's see if I look a picture.

On Tuesday we went to Sabadell Nati's birthday at a Japanese restaurant that was not bad, though they wanted us to eat more sushi than recommended for your health!

Dress - H&M

Tights - Calzedonia

T-straps - Promod second hand

(Yes, my new hair color is darken but in my room there's no light, so it looks like almost black and it's not like this!)

On Wednesday I went to Ikea with Stefani, Mareen and Martina, my roommates, and we bought many things for our rooms and for general household: candles, blankets, dried flowers ... I will come back yet again find a shelf ... and to buy more meatballs! I love Ikea food!

And yesterday was raining all day until nearly night. Esther, Elena and I had a coffee before lunch, while we were waiting to Laia for going to the new Cos shop (a branch of H & M) that have opened in Barcelona. They have beautiful clothes, though a little expensive for my pocket. We were also trying on clothes in Adolfo Dominguez.

Afterhaving lunch and taking a walk in the rain, at which point I got soaked, I was with Kim, Esther's boyfriend, who is a filmmaker and a while we were talking about lot of things.

Finally I returned home, but before I bought socks imitation Miracle Angelic Pretty Candy ... I laughed a lot to see and to me I had to take!

This afternoon I will stay home until 7, as I have to send an email to try to attend the Tea Pary of Baby the Stars Shine Bright at that hour, Wish me luck!

PS: My look of yesterday! I was wearing a coat too and my red umbrella!
