Fall In Love...

This is officialy the last week of Summer and even in the south-east coast we feel a shift. I sit by a window with my cup of coffee and the newest issue of a girly magazine and I can see a few trees dropping their leaves. The sudden breeze sounds like an emergency broadcast system telling me that summer is slipping through my fingers.  I carefully open the pages of the magazine as if I was browsing through one of the greatest book ever written. The images and the fashion transport me and I am quickly filled with so many words and ideas. Starry eyed and candy cotton minded I begin to sketch a few photography concepts...

My adventures don't seem to come to an end and for that I am incredibly grateful and one of those adventures I wanted to share with you is a  write up Q&A from a local lifestyle blog and beautifully curated website called You're Welcome Savannah. Cedric Smith photographer for You're Welcome took the images and here are a few... Check out the link to read the Q&A and to see the rest of the images.

Sunday Poetry...

I once knew a girl so bored with her predictable life to the point she could puke.
I once met a girl that hated herself so much and who she was that she would continue creating paper dolls in the search of self.
I once met a girl with so much time in her hands to the point her dreams would dissolve like cotton candy on your warm tongue.

She searched through magazines and books through everything that was tangible.
Everything and anything anyone could see.

She traveled....
That girl was crazy... like the birds searching for a new identity.
She flew searching for more...

Confused, scared and ashamed.
Confused she began to replicate, duplicate... Shiny things are so beautiful.
She raised mirrors all around her... Her own little glass house.

I once met a girl that wanted to be me...

Ms.M On top hated the eyes of the original pic but loved to be photographed with Project Runway's April so we added cool shades. :)

Weekend Cocktail...

Cocktails and Life...

My blogger friend Sofia says I should change the name of the blog to Cocktails and Life since I post so many cocktails recipes. I just can't help myself when I come across a good cocktail I want to share it with you.

 Maybe it's because I wish y'all could come over and we could have a party. Maybe it is because a good cocktail is a part of  La Dulce Vida. Maybe it's because I am a 3 drink maximum therefore I want them to be not good but excellent.  For whatever reason my first cocktail recipe of 2013.

And from the previous post a variation of the Bokeh images you can create.

About Twelve and Mojitos...

Today when I was done programming the universal remote control without the code for the DVD player I felt victorious and filled with satisfaction. I am the one that fiddles with all the technology around here which it ain't much but his face every time I am done with some mundane "technological" task is priceless. He gives me props as if I've changed the transmission to a '59 Chevy. One of the many reasons why I keep coming back for more.



Yesterday was the "official" birthday. She is officially 12 being we celebrated this past weekend with our trip we treated her for dinner and some sweets from the Chocolate Bar which is the only bar she can party.





I know it was her birthday but for the sake of research and for you my readers I have a new cocktail recipe.
Limoncello Basil Mojito they are as good as the Basil Lemonade Martinis. They scream summer and you must try it.



A few images I wanted to share from the Dream Collection...





The weekend is coming fast and we have a full one. From an 80's party to outdoor grilling with friends which is the excuse to show off my bar-tending skills.
