After 3 Months: POST 1

Hello, dear readers! I was M.I.A. for a while mostly because of my vacations back home and my beloved "time to think". My vacations were great and now I'm back in Rio and already studying again. Things are going really great here, and how about you guys? How have you been doing? I stopped reading blogs too, I have to catch up. 

I decided to post now because I felt that just now my year started, you know? I don't know something just clicked and I'm feeling better right now. My "time to think" let me understand that some things take a while to happen and may not even happen if I don't work hard to get it. Things don't come easy nor they'll fall from the sky.

This blog manly will be a place where I come to vent and post some of my work (being it in photography or college assignments). I felt sometimes that I create this to get something that I didn't even know what it was, but now I get that I don't need that. I'm just going to enjoy it.

Anyway, these pictures are mostly from my vacation where I had some fun, drank too much, slept more than 10 hours and just did nothing at all. But it was good. More posts to come!

My rice - yes, rice - burn mark.

My new eye shadow that fell at the ground and I didn't even had used it.

One of the last views I had before coming back to Rio

That's it for now, guys! I'll see you soon, take care! :)

Oh Well - TL;DR

Going to a different topic... a few days ago, a girl wrote a post about fashion blogs in wich I agreed with certain points. The post is in portuguese, you can try to read it with google translator, if you want a translation I'll try to ask permition and post here later so you guys can read it more properly (The original: http://lookdodiadodia.tumblr.com/post/15371912939/carta-aberta-para-blogueiras-de-moda).

I'll talk about MY VIEW about fashion blogs in here:

I can't say I started reading them when they first started, however I got the chance to live and see this boom of blogs. I think blogs are a super awesome way of express your ideas, opinions and show your talents, art, way of dressing and etc. It's a pretty democratic way, because anyone can have a blog. 

The Fashion ones got in a different level I think because 1) is a different way of showing a person the fashion world 2) you express your point of view about it 3) in the 'look of the day' section or whatever, you express your personality and even your way of using what's in trend 4) If your blog is considered good you get sponsors, and chances to work with people you didn't think you could 5) you can even earn money from it. In resume, it's a great 'open doors' and the networking is huge.

The problem is when the blogger change the editorial line and the way of expressing herself (or himself) because of itens 4 and 5. It's really sad when you get the vibe that the blogger is writing or doing the things that are posted on the blog because of these them. I feel like things changed and don't get that excited to read the post.

When I first read a post or see a picture in a blog I try to see the persons view. From the person's writing I try to see him/her character; from the pictures, him/her way of portraing whatever that is interesting to the person, and etc. And I get really frustrated when I just see pictures/post about the 50th trip to that place where the person got to know that person that does some thing that I really don't care about, or when there are just posts about sponsors and I get none useful information. I'm not saying that I don't enjoy these posts, the problem is in the frequency of them.

When it's just that what I see, I stop reading the blog. I feel like the essency of it is gone. There's nothing wrong about getting recognition, the problem is when that gets to your brain. I'll stand by the ones that still talks to their readers, that doesn't shut down their comments page because someone didn't agree with what was said in the post or that didn't like that blazer or something like that.

Nowadays I read few blogs, but those are the ones I really like and that I feel the blogger didn't change the editorial line of the blog and still writes the same (because when they change the way of writing I get super sad, omg). And understands that a person can have a different opinion from him/her.

Anyway, that's my two cents about this. Reminding that I'm not writing about anyone in particular, but in general, ok?

What do you guys think about this?

Take Care!

About being honest and staying true to yourself.

This is more like a 'hey, have you stopped to see what you really want?' post. So, if you want pictures, clothing or something like that...You're not going to find it here.
Well, I started this blog with a very average concept. In here, I'd talk about fashion, University, and life or anything I would want to.

However, I fell like something is missing. Like my true self is missing in here, you know? I fell that what I was doing until now is not me. 'Look of the Day', uploading pictures of accessories and the like is not what I wanted. From now on, that will appear in here, but not everytime. So, if you are following me because of that, I'm so sorry, if you want to keep up with me, I'll be more than happy. If not, I'll understand. Not that I hate fashion or anything now, It's just that I don't have the confidence or the time to do things like that everytime.

I don't want to give up on this blog, because I like it. And it's a common thing in my life when things are changing I just give up or try to avoid it. And I don't want to do that.

From now on, things are going to change in here. If you want, wait a little bit. I'm working on the layout and other things (I have to find time to do these things, Uni is killing me lol).
Thanks for everyone that finds time to comment in here and everything, ok?

Take Care and See you soon!
