Sometimes I like to remind myself of how far I’ve come. As a girl who suffered a lot of body issue struggles during her teen years, I am so excited and thrilled to announce I’m on a cover of a magazine. If I could talk to the insecure and shy teenager that I was and tell her that, in 10 years time, she would be on a cover of a magazine, things could have gone slightly different.
Another year goes by, and just like I did in 2015, I’ve listed the movies I cannot wait to see in 2017. I’m a cinephile obsessed with period movies, so obviously I had to write an article about the must see titles that will hit theaters soon. Enjoy!
Next Friday is one of the most anticipated days of the year: Black Friday! It’s a popular tradition in the United States after Thanksgiving. All shops and companies offer incredible discounts so people can start buying their Christmas gifts.
Luckily, in the past years Black Friday has become a worldwide celebration. If you are looking for discounts on your favorite vintage inspired shops, now’s the time to prepare yourselves for the big day.
Remember to be organized. Check your favorite shops to see any hints on what type of discount might they offer, and check your favorite items. Don’t forget to be sure about the sizing before Black Friday.
Black Friday is like The Hunger Games. Some sites crash during the sale and even if it seemed you had purchased an item, maybe it won’t. Check your email at all times to ensure the payment and order is processed.
If you order from countries which will requiere customs and other taxes, I recommend you to even buy in different orders to ensure you don’t pay a lot in customs.
Here are some of the most popular shops and brands that will do a Black Friday sale next week:

Everyone who has been following my adventures knows how obsessed I am with comic books. I’ve always loved reading comics, specially those set in the past. Since my collection has grown in the past months I decided to select some of favourite vintage inspired titles. Enjoy!
Blacksad (Juanjo Guarnido – Juan Díaz Canales)
Probably one of the best comics out there. Blacksad has won several international awards as well as Spanish recognitions. Set in the USA in the 1950s, introduces the story of John Blacksad, a detective in a world where all the characters are animals.
Ladykiller (Joelle Jones – Jamie S. Rich)
With a presentation such as “Betty Draper meets Hannibal Lecter” this comic book is perfect for vintage enthusiasts. The lead character of the story is the classic housewife one sees in the movies. Or maybe not. When her husband is away, this lady works as a spy and a secret agent.
New Deal (Jonathan Case)
Set in the Waldorf Astoria in the Great Depression, this book tells the story of a mysterious event at the hotel. Follow the life of a glamorous lady and the other guests.
Pin Up (Berthet & Yann)
It’s clear what this book is about, isn’t it? A combination of stories set in the 20th century with glamorous women, Vegas casinos, celebrities from the golden age of Hollywood and a sophisticated young lady with a goal in life: become somebody.
