Fashion

Everyday is fashion week, and the world is your runway!

Fashion for me is super important in my life, my outfits determine the way I feel. I might not have the best style, wear the latest trends or buy on the most expensive stores  but I have my own unique style (I think)

 I love wearing nerdy clothes, a nice shirt, skinny jeans, sometimes a cardigan , and a bow tide, and I feel accomplished.

 I also have my dark side, I like to wear all black outfits, black tight jeans, black shirt and black boots, I accessorize this "Goth" look with black gloves and metal chains (I make a lot of noise when I walk :p). This dark outfits represent my personality, represent my darkness and solitude.

People always stare at me, one of the main reason is because of my hair, its crazy curly, so during summer I cut it short and people were still staring me, so I came up with the conclusion that they were looking at the way I dress, which was kind of nice but sometimes is uncomfortable.


So, which people inspired me to dress this way?


Brad Goresky
I love the way he dresses he is my muse on my nerdy side




Harry Styles
I love this guy!!! I always look at him for inspiration, his hair looks kind of like mine (I think)
His outfits, everything, he is perfect!

Tilo Wolff 

He inspires me on my dark side, his gothic look is so unique, so elegant and dark at the same time.
He is also the lead vocalist of one of my favorites bands, Lacrimosa.


Gareth Pugh

He is my favorite fashion designer, his designs are really dark and amazing, I might not wear his clothes, (not enough money) but I always try to mimic some of the outfits making them my own.


Be yourself, dress however you want, in the end the only person who you are pleasing is yourself.

Who is your favorite fashion designer?
What's your style?

Food


I love food!! I am always eating D: (fatass). I want to become a chef one day, my biggest dream is to have my own restaurant! I know is a BIG dream but in my world everything is possible!!

When I was in High School on my sophomore year I enrolled in the Culinary Arts class and I had the time of my life, in that class I meet my best friend. She is a foodie like me, we share the same passion for food and I have so many pretty memories with her. I stayed in the class during my Junior and Senior year! and I leaned so much I got really close with the my teacher, I even got rewarded as the best culinary arts student!! :,) I made much more beautiful memories. I used to cook a lot, but ever since I started collage I don't have the time anymore.

Culinary Competition @ Le Cordon Bleu, we made it to the next round in Austin, the judges loved my dessert it landed in 2nd place out 11 others desserts!!

Music

Who doesn't love music? Everybody has a special connection with music, we listen to music all the time . For me music is always saving my life, always creates memories, gives me strength and brigs me to the past which makes me melancholic.

My favorite type of music is Symphonic Metal!!
Now you may be wondering what the f**k is that? Well I see it like this...

Symphonic Meal is a combination of a full symphonic orchestra with heavy metal, powerful drums, electric guitars, bass and harsh male vocals, but they also add the beautiful voice of a female singer. To me that is the most beautiful music in the world! you have the amazing orchestra and heavy metal!


So now who are the Symphonic Metal bands? here are my top 5

  1. Nightwish
  2. Epica
  3. Kamelot
  4. Sirenia
  5. Therion
These bands are amazing!! I've seen Nighwish, Epica and Kamelot live and they are just incredible



I just love this bands, I started to listen to them like almost 5 years ago, the fist song that I listen to was by Nightwish - Wish I had an angel, and I felt in love!! just listening to the heaviness of the band combined with the beautiful vocals was fantastic.


But I also listen to others kind of music that has nothing to do with Symphonic Metal.
Ok I also like Electro-Pop. I like the beat and the simplicity of some of it. After listening to symphonic metal which is really complex is nice to listen to simpler music.


Top 5

  1. ColdPlay
  2. Zoé
  3. Taylor Swift
  4. Crystal Castles
  5. Lady Gaga

Yup I aslo listen to this kind of music, ColdPlay just relaxes me, when I listen to their music I think of my future of all of my dreams which someday will come true (hopefully) lol.


Zoé is a mexican band their music is great and I love the fact that they are mexicans (as me!)




Taylor Swift! yea I love her, she is pretty and I don't know she is really pure, her songs have so much meaning and they are just fun to listen to.


Crystal Castles, well this band is really crazy to be honest, they use really interesting instruments and have crazy vocals.



Lady Gaga, really? yes!! I love the fact that she doesn't give a fuck of what others think of her, she also supports gay rights which is another reason to love her and or course the way she dresses!!




So this some of the music that I listen to!

What's your favorite band? What kind of music do you listen to? Why

First Post

Hi!! My name is Manuel and this is my first post!

Well what can I say... loading.......loading....
Ok this is my first blog and in this blog I will share my life, since I am a very shy person I don't have a lot of friends and the ones that I have, well for some reason they run away. :/


I have three passions my life and in this blog I will share them.
         1. Food
         2. Music
         3. Fashion

        
I love food!! I like to cook it, eat it, buy it, play with it I just love it!

                                                                             
I listen to  music 25 hours a day!! lol I like really weird music, I listen from Electronic to Opera, from Heavy Metal to Classical music, from Pop to Scremo 

                                                                            


The outfits that i wear determine my mood! I need to feel that I look good in order to be happy! I don't care if I look weird as f***k as long as I feel fashionable that is all it matter :)


These are the three things that keep me alive and without them life will be horrible!!. I have others interests like working out, health, school (yes I actually love school) photography, nature, poetry, books and much more!

Hopefully you will keep on reading my blog, I am new on this but just bare with me eventually I'll get better (I hope)
