So, a month ago (I know, I know...) I was mentioned by the sweet Elena from Fairytale in a bag as one of her seven candidates to receive the Stylish Blogger Award. I wasn't feeling up to it at the time, but now I started to get a little bit more excited about blogging, there's no better way to celebrate than to receive an award!
It is also the perfect excuse to get all dressed up, especially if I am going to share a few facts about my life, let's make this a formal presentation!!!
I was born in Bilbao (you know, the city where the strange Guggenheim Museum is) 25 years ago.
But over the past seven years I have called different cities my home, which might me the reason for my confusion right now, I don't exactly know where my home is. First I lived in Pamplona (yes, you know, where the running of the bulls takes place :) during my university years. For a year I lived in Vienna, then back in Pamplona. And the last two years, I have lived in Barcelona. I have always managed to feel at home in these places, more at home than in the city where I was born.
I studied Pharmacy at university.
This was definitely not my first choice, but at the time I didn't really know what to do, one thing led to the another and there I was, memorizing lists of bacteria and drying plants for my herbarium. It is sort of a tradition in my family to study pharmacy, so I went with it. Then I decided I wanted to do something a little different that working in the family pharmacy, so I moved to Barcelona to specialize in Cosmetics and Dermopharmacy and struggled as an intern and later on struggled even more working as a cosmetics formulator. But things were not really looking up for me, spanish economical crisis is not too kind with cosmetic formulators, I decided the time had come to give the pharmacy a try, and that's what I 'm doing right now.
I really need to brush up my pharmacology.
I am not exactly motivated to get back to my books and refresh what I studied back in university, but I have to if I want to be a good pharmacist. Last week I attended a seminary on antipsychotics and next week there's a presentation on colon cancer I am going to, how very interesting...
As a child I was a bit of a loner.
Not exactly by choice though, I was extremely shy and kids were mean, well they were just kids I guess. So what did I do with all my free time? I was an avid reader, which I think isn't a bad habit at all. Actually now that I have more free time, I have gone back to reading a book every week, which I haven't done for the past years. I love to get into different stories, and characters, to visit different places, only with my imagination, it´s a great feeling!
I haven't got a clue about what I am doing with this blog.
I started it because I liked other blogs and I wanted to have one myself. After half a year, most people have zillions of followers and comments, I know I don't but I'm ok with it. I just do it because I like mixing clothes, finding nice settings for pictures, being a part of communities like Chictopia and writing in english (hopefully there's not too many mistakes!). I don't know much about fashion but I think it's interesting and I like to learn about it. However, there is something that I find very stressful about it, it is all so fast, I haven't seen many SS collections and we are already seeing FW, which is months away. It's impossible to keep up!
I have always worn whatever I wanted.
Maybe I am not so drastic now, but I used to change my style a lot depending on my mood, which was sometimes confusing for others. One day I would appear wearing a pleated skirt with converse, the next I was wearing high heels with bell bottoms, I also went through a hippie phase, big scarf around my head, flat arabic slippers even in winter! I think that getting dressed should be fun, and although I do get an occasional stare here and there, it doesn't really bother me.
Now I have to nominate seven bloggers that I think deserve this award. I understand if they don't have the time to post about it and share seven facts about their life, but hey, I'll just name them here because I think they have amazing blogs!
Mónica from Freesia
Cristina from Celita Daily Style
Emma from Scrapbook de la Emma

Franzi from It's not just a bag
Grace from The Afeminada

I am very emotional person.
Which is good and bad, because I feel things in extremes. When I'm happy about something I am very happy, but if something gets me down, I am a mess for a long while. I discovered yoga two years ago and it is helping me a lot, I need to find a decent place in Bilbao to continue practicing as soon as possible!

It's such a pleasure to read more about you.
It's very easy to get caught up in the numbers game with blogging. Why some girls have 800 followers after 6 months - who knows?
I hope you will keep blogging because I enjoy your posts so much. It's clear that you put a lot of effort into matching locations with your outfits. The composition is always dramatic & beautiful!
