Em, just tagged me and since I’m ignoring my work, I’m going to answer the meme right away.

What is your current obsession?
Not dying of stress and exhaustion? Well, really I’m currently obsessed with Jason Mraz, my ruined shoes, eating less junk, True Blood and Project Runway (which I can’t watch on YouTube anymore T_T).

What is your horoscope and do you relate?
I’m a Leo. They normally love the spotlight, have lion manes and love their friends to death. I really do relate to that, specially the mane part. I don’t have curls just because you know?

What are you wearing today?
My blue t-shirt, sweatpants and a grey cardigan. I’m going to college later so I’ll change into something less lazy-like.

What is the last thing you bought?
A book? Or does a Starbucks’ Shaken Lemon Black Tea counts? I’ve been broke so no shopping for me T_T.

What do you think about the person who tagged you?
She is all kinds of AWESOME! She’s also one of the many people I hope to meet once I get my butt over to the Southern Hemisphere. did I mention she also knows how to bake?

What’s for dinner?
No idea, my mum just went to get something for us to eat. I normally just have chocolate milk for dinner.

What’s your favourite decade, fashion wise?
Eeeeeee, I like this decade n_n. I’m not very fashion savvy but I like my clothes to be simple and sleek. So yeah the 2000’s are my decade.

What are your must-haves for summer?
A fan, huge sunglasses, loads of sunscreen (sun allergy here), nice tops and loads of water!

What would you love to be able to afford?
An apartment in the very pretty neighborhood of La Condesa or maybe Polanco, heck I’d settle for an apartment. A trip around the world and to not worry about how I’m going to pay the bills (when I actually move out).

What is your favourite piece of clothing from your wardrobe?
I have to say my black pants from SASCH and my Steve Madden ankle boots. They’ve saved my life million of times. I also love my Zara dress but it doesn’t fit me anymore =(

What is your dream job?
I want to have a successful business as a freelance web designer. But actual dream job would be a fashion journalist or fashion stylist. I’d love to do something fashion-wise (although I really don’t know anything about fashion at all).

What is your favourite magazine?
Damn, I don’t read many of those. I like Nylon Mexico and Seventeen Mexico and once I picked a Vanidades just for the gossip.

Describe your personal style:
Fachoso-chic XDD (Fachoso is a word in Mexican slang for frumpy). No really I think my style is very simple, college oriented. I like simple clothes, minimal design and sometimes I like the whole skater vibe, other times I like to try and dress like a fairy. I guess that my style reflects how I feel at the moment and if I have to walk a lot or not n_n.

Which Beatle is your favourite?
John Lennon because he’s the only one I can remember.

What are you proud of?
I’m proud of many things like being able to get back my scholarship. Being able to have made it so far with my major. My awesome project from Engineering week. My pretty boys and my pretty girls. I’m proud that I’m finding myself and my path and I’m proud that I can actually cook pasta without burning anything.

I’m not going to tag anyone else n_n.

Kisses,

Julie.

Edit: Due to popular demand I’m going to tag the lovely Alex!
