#MCM: Antoine Griezmann

I wanted to write a post, but my brain isn't in the mood for that. So, because today is Monday (though here we only have half an hour left) and instagram keeps recommending me accounts about Griezmann, I said: let's do a Man Crush Monday! Easy to write, nice to watch xD

In case you don't know who he is, Antoine Griezmann is a French football player (or soccer player as people would said in the United States) and, besides being an amazing forward, he is cute as f***. The only bad thing about him? The team where he plays. 

The other day he was among the nominees for the EUFA Best Player of Europe with Bale and Cristiano (both play for the same team, Real Madrid), and poor thing, he was so left out! We need to fix that, so Floren (Real Madrid president), you know what to do :P

Now, enough chatting. Enjoy this French cutie!

Look at him. He wants to be part of that handshake so badly!

Cutie.

73 questions | Part 2

Here is part 2 of the "73 questions" tag. I've had to add some questions from Anna Wintour's video because I deleted some that weren't interesting while doing part 1.
Hope you like it! :)


37. What can you say in another language?
This whole blog is in a different language than mine haha. But besides that, I studied three years of French in high school and I still remember some things.

38. What do you love the most about the town where you grew up?
Our traditions. The costumes we wear during carnival, the procession we do the morning of the town's big day, our dances, our typical costumes... I might do a post about it one day. 

39. What is one goal you are determined to achieve in your life time?
This is gonna sound boring, but be happy and have a family. 

40. What is your favourite scent candle?
I don't have one, I've never been into candles. And lately everytime there is a strong scent or one that lasts a lot, I end up with a horrible headache (same as my mom), so I wouldn't be able to have one.

41. If you could master a sport, what would it be?
Thanks to the Olympics I remembered how much I liked rhythmic gymnastics and how badly I wanted to be able to do that when I was a kid. One of my classmates went to a proper gym, and I envied her so much!

42. What song always makes you wanna dance?
"Shake it off" by Taylor Swift.

43. What's the best fashion tip you've ever received?
It is a post I saw a couple of days ago on tumblr, not a tip someone gave me, but it works the same way.

44. When you were 13, who was your celebrity crush?

I am not sure... Probably a Real Madrid player. Or David Bisbal. He is a singer from a programme similar to "American Idol", and I think he has a lot of fans on Latin America right now.

45. What's the last show you bing-watched?

"Stranger things".

46. Name one thing you can't live without.

The internet. I mean, I can live without it for more than a couple of days, but to have other entertainments, like music, books, movies, etc, I need it.

47. What's the most nervous you've ever been?

Before doing the exams to get into university, or the first day of university.

48. What's one expression/word you say too much?

In English I think I use "like" a lot. And in Spanish... buff. Pum/pun/chun when I am explaining something and I can't remember a word. It is a bit hard to explain xD 

49. Favourite app.

Tumblr, though it is a bit shit, and TVShow Time. It is the best app to keep track of all my shows. And I can share opinions with other users!

50. How do you feel about Pokemon Go?
I've always been more into Digimon, but I wouldn't mind trying it. The thing is my phone only works where there is wi-fi.

51. You can only eat one thing forever. What is it?

Oh man... I've been thinking about this for five minutes, and I can't choose. I just love food too much to pick one single thing haha

Natalie Dormer. I know she is older than me and that we don't look alike, but she is my favourite actress.

53. If you could spend three months anywhere, where would it be?

Canada or Cape Town.

Putting on my glasses.

56. What's the last thing you do before you go to bed?
Take off my glasses.

Just going for a walk or maybe to a football/handball/basketball game. 

62. What's one thing in your closet you recently brought back into your wardrobe?

My black converse. I live in them the whole year, but this summer I've been able to put them away and wear other shoes. I've brought them back because I've done some trips and they are the best for walking.

63. Who is your fashion icon?

It changes a lot. But when I need inspiration I always go back to Alexa Chung.

64. What's the last book you read?

I finished "The Infernal Devices" by Cassandra Clare (it is a trilogy from the "Shadowhunters" world) last month. I've planned to do a review, but I need my muse to come first.

65. What's the best activity to do at home on a rainy day?

Watch a movie, a tv show or a sports game lying on the sofa. And it gets better if you have something to eat.

66. What's your favourite type of flower?

Google says that the name in English is calla lily.

67. Favourite musical?

Does "High School Musical" count? xD I really like the second movie, all Sharpay's songs are amazing!

68. Biggest phobia?

Heights. Anything taller than a first floor scares the hell out of me.

With fashion you can never say never, but right now culottes are everywhere and I would never wear them.

The internet.

72. What's your favourite piece of clothing to wear?

T-shirts.

73. If you were a superheroe, what would be your chryptonite?

I said that my superpower would be teletransportation, so maybe not a thing but a ghost that follows me if I travel too much?¿ Last season on "The Flash" they had something similar xD

My top 5 models

I've done a couple of posts already talking about my top 5, and it was time I did one about my favourite models. Most of you are reading this through tumblr, so who is gonna be number 1 isn't gonna be a surprise haha. To make it a bit different, I've add two male models. Now, without further ado (I don't know why but I love this expression), let's start with this top 5!


5. Benjamin Eidem
I found about him thanks to a Express campaign where he was featured with Karlie Kloss among other models. One of my followers on tumblr told me his name, I checked his tag... And I fell in love. Right now he isn't working that much, though I saw him this summer on H&M. And I almost had a heart attack xD

4. Freja Beha
Freja was the first model I liked. Everything started with her. I remember seeing her on the magazines and instantly marking those pages to cut the pics later and save them. Do you remember the wall on my room I showed you on my last post? She is everywhere.
She did a campaign for "Valentina", Valentino's perfume, and the ad was all the time on tv. Everytime I saw that I instantly shouted Valentinaaaaa!!, and more than once I scared the hell out of the people around me haha But when you are a fangirl you sometimes do this kind of things :P

3. Jon Kortajarena
Before knowing about Benjamin, Jon was the only male model I liked. Apart from having the best cheek bones out there and being gorgeous, I think he is really funny and down to earth. His laugh is a bit weird, but when I heard it I end up laughing with him so xD
Fun fact: when I read "Twilight", way before they did the movie, he was my Edward Cullen. Everytime they described him, I saw Jon.

2. Josephine Skriver
I found about Josephine thanks to tumblr. I remember seeing a pic of her and being like "damn, she is gorgeous as hell!"Though I didn't start following her career properly until a couple of years ago (maybe three. I'm the worst remembering these things).
Besides having a beautiful face, Josephine is one of the loveliest girls out there. You need to check her instagram and twitter. These past days Victoria's Secret has been filming their Holiday's Commercial, and she was over the moon. She was so excited because she got to wear wings!
This year they (finally) made her an angel. She is perfect for the brand, beautiful and with an amazing body. Have you seen her butt? It is goals. I have a pic of her butt among my likes on instagram, and everytime I want motivation to work out, I check that pic. Weird? Probably.

This the pic I have on instagram. Isn't that butt amazing?

And this is the first pic of her I ever saw.

1. Karlie Kloss
Surprise! xD
Though the first time I saw Karlie was on tumblr, our story started thanks to Cara Delevingne. I was (and am) Cara's fan, and watching some of her videos I saw interviews with Karlie and realize she was the girl from tumblr! Then, as I always do, I started checking her editorials, her campaigns, her amazing walk, some interviews... and Karlie become my favourite model! So yeah, you could say I am a B.T. S Karlie fan. Before Taylor Swift xD
And that takes us to the big question... Do I believe on Kaylor? No, I don't. For me, Karlie and Taylor are just good friends. If people wants to believe they are a couple, they are free to do it. But please, PLEASE, be respectful. Remember that they are real people and not characters from your favourite book or tv show.

This is the first pic of Karlie I saw. So cute!

73 questions | Part 1

Vogue is doing this kind of YouTube tag on their channel called "73 questions with..." where they ask random questions to famous people, and I thought I could do something similar here on the blog.

I've chosen questions (some of them with little changes) from Taylor Swfit, Serena Williams and Emily Ratajkowski's videos. They are a musician, a sportwoman and a model, and because music, sports and fashion are the things I like the most, I thought their questions will fit me better.

I am gonna do two posts, because 73 questions are a lot and I don't want to bore you xD Now let's begin!

1. What's keeping you busy these days?

This is gonna sound pretty lame, but my Karlie Kloss blog xD I spend a couple of hours there each day uploading photos, looking for new ones, making gifs, keeping everything organized... It takes more work that you could imagine, specially with someone with a career like Karlie's.

2. What are you completely bored of life right now?

I don't know what to do with my life. Literally no idea.

3. Who was your favourite teacher? 

Probably my high school music teacher. He was such a nice guy... And he teached us a lot of cool things!

A hamburguer just with the meat, no tomato or lettuce or anything, French fries and a coke. Or water. Yes, I am pretty boring haha

9. What was the best birthday cake you ever had?

I am very picky when it comes to cakes, so my mum has always bought a cream ice cake with thin layers of chocolate. So good!

10. What was the last thing you baked?

I am the worst when it comes to baking or cooking. The worst. The last thing I baked probably were some cookies. And they end up tasting pretty bad xD

Kleenex. I need them all the year around because besides colds, I am allergic.

I don't watch movies regularly, so I can't think of any. I think the last time I cried was with the last episode of "Stranger Things".

17. If you had a superpower, what would it be?

Teleportation? Is that the word? Yesterday I went on a trip and got so tired of being stuck on a bus for hours. So I would like to be able to go anywhere just by clicking my fingers for example.

18. Do you have a cool/bizarre talent?

I don't think so... But Taylor said that she had double joint elbows, and so do I so xD

19. What's something you can't do?

Cooking. 

20. What's the best compliment you've ever received?

Someone said once on a forum that she liked the way I write, that I looked intelligent and interesting. And that meant a lot. But that's in Spanish. Someone said the other day that I write like a teenager in English (though I hope I write with better grammar than them xD)

21. What's the best gift you've ever received?

I can't think of anything right now... In my family we are not into gifts.

22. What's one habit you wish you could break?

23. Do you have any nicknames?

People call me for a short version of my name. Just that.

Current Favourites

Such a new and inspiring post! Haha But I wanted to talk about some things, and I felt like I didn't have enough information or opinions to make a proper post. So I decided to do a current favourites post! 

• Long skirts and dresses

For the past two years (maybe three), I've been obssesed with long skirts and dresses. And this summer I've finally started wearing them. They are so nice for those days when you need to go out and your legs aren't looking the best! (Like when you are lazy and don't want to shave xD)

I have two long skirts and two dresses. One of the dresses is a navy stripy one from the market in my town, and the other one is this one from H&M but in black.

About the skirts, one is my made by my mum. Last year (or the year before) I couldn't find a skirt that I liked, and she made it. It is like this one.

And the other skirt is this one Zoella wore in one of her vlogs. When I saw it  I really liked it, but I thought it would be really expensive, but then I saw another YouTuber wearing it and I decided to search it. Turns up it is from Pull & Bear and it costs just 10€! The fabric isn't the best, but it is really soft, and the opening is more comfortable than it looks. (Link to the skirt)

• "Stranger things"

Yes... I also watched "Stranger things". If you spend time on the internet and tumblr, you've probably heard about it. It is a Netflix original show set in the 80's where a kid dissapears, and his family and friends start looking for him. But there are supernatural things involved! 

I watched it with my sister and my dad, and even though we tried to make it last (it is just 8 episodes), we couldn't. We needed to know more! My favourite character was Dustin. He was the best xD And Eleven was also really cool too. 

Apart from the plot and the characters, one of the things that attract the most about the show is the aesthetic. If you have lived on the 80's or just like that time, there are a lot of references to movies, like "The Goonies" or "E.T.". My dad also said that the music kind of reminded him of "Tron". That makes the show really special.

I don't know if there is gonna be a season 2, but I need it. How can they leave us like that? :O

• Alex Høgh Andersen's instagram

He is the guy who plays adult Ivar on "Vikings". And these days I am obssesed with his Instagram. He is the one posting the most about the filming of "Vikings" season 5, and even though we still haven't finished season 4 and there might be spoilers, I follow it because I need to know xD And he is really cute, I am not gonna lie. 
The other day I saw a pic of Harry Styles with short hair and I thought he looked like Alex. I am really weird with these things, so it is ok to think that I am crazy and that they don't look alike. At all xD

• Martin Garrix

I watched his live set on Tomorrowland two weeks ago (via live stream), and since then I've been listening to his music non stop. I've liked him since "Animals", but right now I am obssesed with him. And, besides making amazing music, he is so cute! I don't know if I want to cuddle him or marry him. Or both xD

This is his new single, "In the name of love". My sister says that it sounds like the song from Haribo xD (And yeah, he is the guy who looks like Griezmann!)

• The Michalaks

The Michalaks are my favourite youtubers right now. And they are the only ones I am up to date with xD

They are Hannah, Stef and Grayson (the little one), and they do dailyvlogs, though they upload them all together in a big one on Sunday’s instead of one each day.

Hannah was a beauty blogger (and she still is), but when Grayson was born, she and her husband decided to start filming their lives and do family video diaries so Gracie could watch them when he is a grown up. 

I discovered them thanks to Zoella, and since then I’ve been a fan of their videos. The quality is AMAZING. Stef’s editing skills are always on point, each week the videos are better and better. And the content is so good as well! I always find myself smiling through the whole video, they are family goals. Seriously, one day I want to have a family like theirs. You can see how much Hannah and Stef they love each other without being cheesy or anything like that, and that Graicie is the happiest child in the world and that he is really loved. Seeing him smile or laugh is precious. Right now he is learning to speak, and he says the funniest things xD

If you are looking for something pretty and nice to watch, something to brighten your days, check their videos. They are worth it.

I am linking this vlog from when they went to Iceland, one of my favourites.

And I think that's all for today's post! I could say that the Olympic Games are also among my favourites, (I even have a calendar to know what to watch everyday) but we just started. So we'll see how things go!

I remember seeing a lot of denim on the magazines this past month, it was one of the biggest trends. And according to my favourite looks from July, it has been a big trend indeed.
