<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yesterday we threw a surprise baby shower for our lovely Marie, who's having a baby boy. This kind of events take a lot of planning and organization. We first exchanged emails with ideas, then got together and started working. Everything was so nice and cute, our future Mamma was happy and we all had a great time. </div>

Here's what we did:<br />

A new tool has arrived, a beautiful white <a href="http://store.apple.com/es/buy/home/shop_ipad/family/ipad/ipad2">iPad</a> (thanks mom & dad!).<br />
<br />
Selling has become a very important part in my professional life, somehow I'm having a lot of meetings where I have to make a presentation. Getting people together and try collaborations has been my priority. So I've been updating (on a budget) my looks. One thing I had to put in consideration was the iPad case. There are so many gorgeous covers out there, I wanted one that was both protective and stylish, I went for budget and color to make the list shorter. <br />
<br />
I decided to pick a black one, that's my color, I have to deal with that. So I went for a beautiful <a href="http://www.marshallbergman.com/product.php?shopprodid=484&variantid=506">clutch by Marshall Bergman</a>. Fits both iPad and Macbook Air 11", it's perfect!. <br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Now the looks:</b></span><br />
I've been trying both casual and formal looks, depending on the client. For the first one I went a little urban, with a T-shirt and jacket. Medium height heels, more comfortable in case you have to run to another appointment. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggKorETLLXwvnJF4Qtwq6dE7CUltjiA9VWQD7CI5p1KJyNWoIS6lmwijKsMWBRBy-Sqp_mIsBft_8St07ZAT7kMooVnWhlV4bKAq4zV9-UtK14zzj6dEnFTKsryqr8Spx7N9g9wcRjcl32/s1600/formal_chic.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggKorETLLXwvnJF4Qtwq6dE7CUltjiA9VWQD7CI5p1KJyNWoIS6lmwijKsMWBRBy-Sqp_mIsBft_8St07ZAT7kMooVnWhlV4bKAq4zV9-UtK14zzj6dEnFTKsryqr8Spx7N9g9wcRjcl32/s1600/formal_chic.png" /></a></div><br />
<br />
For the second one I went for something a little bit formal, not too much, I got this top at Zara and fell in love, the back it's just exquisite. In this case I used super high heels and red lipstick.<br />

That's the price of my super lovely buy of the season, I fell in love with this <a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/es/es/zara-S2012/189505/631920/PANTALON%2BTINTADO%2BCREMALLERAS">pants</a> at first sight. So spring, so colorful, so happy and fun. And affordable!<br />
<br />
I loved <a href="http://www.katespade.com/spring-campaign/spring-campaign,default,sc.html">Kate Spade's campaign</a> for this season, ever since I watched their <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcOK_HH2VkY">musical chairs</a> I became obsessed with the look with the pink pants. Once I got them, it was a matter of adding some accesories and patterned heels (look 1). <br />
<br />
Even though I love style I'm not one of those girls that buy all new trends every season. I have to buy on budget so I'm pretty realistic when it comes to fashion, I'd love to accessorize or use more colors, but I have to keep it real and simple. Besides if you are comfortable and feel nice you show it and that's all that matters. <br />
<br />
Happy pink spring!<br />

All this things happening, so incredible challenges, but most important, opportunities. My father always says to me how we have to be able to take chances and grab opportunities as they come, 'cause they don't do so often.<br />
<br />
The only thing is that I've been running for the last month like a maniac, and I mean literally, I even take my flats in my bag to make errands after visiting clients, and still be able to pick up Ander on time.<br />
<br />
My lovely boy has been amazing and supportive, I've been trying to balance a couple of important projects and being a mom. I've even managed to have him a play date with cupcakes and all, it was the first time he had a school friend at home and he was pretty proud.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I'll soon be able to show here some new products for my <a href="http://shop.elli-o.com/">Creative Shop</a>. So excited! Even though my moments may be on blur they look as beautiful as this picture, taken by Ander.<br />
<br />
Have a nice week.<br />

Some people see this day as a marketing strategy for a consumer audience. I'd like to see it like a perfect day to say <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"I love You"</span></i> and kiss and hug my dear friends. To kiss husband passionately (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1Q-phtXrE0">Casablanca</a> style), to remind my son how amazing life has been for me ever since I held him in my arms.<br />
<br />
We are alive. I love you. <br />

I've already <a href="http://elly-oh.blogspot.com/2011/09/little-totems.html">written</a> about the impact <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiderata">this poem</a> had in my life.<br />
<br />
I love my copy, I got it on a rainy day in London, on a lovely trip we did with my father.<br />
<br />
I thought about having this word around the house, as a reminder of how important is to know the things we want. Sometimes I forget that I'm a proud an lucky mother to an amazing healthy and happy boy. I've always wanted to be a mother, since I can remember that was my first priority, to go through the incredible journey of creating a little baby. So I made this little installation to keep focus, and realize that I've accomplished one of my most important dreams.<br />
<br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The sign with the word <b>desiderata </b>was a gift from my dear friend Ivette. She asked her brother Felipe to make it on his workshop. Now I have your art in one of my walls, this adds so much to the project, your time, a photo from a rainy day and love. Thanks guys, you are amazing. </span></i><br />

My boy is turning six this month. Every year we make a little party at his school. We celebrate with other kids, this way the mom's get a little less "crazy" with all the organizing and decorating. I'm always in charge of this last part, since I already had the kid's illustrations (from last year's party), I decided to make a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>"Petite Galerie"</i></span> theme.<br />
<br />
An important factor was budget, always this word, but seriously it doesn't has to be expensive to be fun. I used some basic A4 paper and I made a design using this awesome frames from <a href="http://www.outside-the-line.com/framesandborders.html">outside the line</a>. I printed a dotted pattern on the back, added a little crayon (from a chinese shop) and sealed with a little transparent label. To make it a theme I called my local printer and ordered A3's that we used as place mats.<br />
<br />
I suggested we had donuts instead of a cake (since they are six kids, and every one wanted to blow their own candle). They agreed and I went for some at a local <a href="http://www.doopiesandcoffee.com/tiendas_doopies/bilbao_rodriguez-arias.php">store</a>. <br />
<br />
The kids liked it very much, in every invite there was one empty frame, so they could draw their own portrait. We had lots of sugar and fun. And on a budget!. <br />
<br />
A big thank you to all the moms on the organizing committee. <br />

This year started with lots of new projects and beautiful news, our dear friends <a href="http://elly-oh.blogspot.com/2009/06/salt-pepper.html">Ainara & Iñigo</a> are going to be parents of a lovely girl!. The little princess is going to be named Nerea. We celebrated with a dinner party at Marie's where her husband, Jonan, cooked for us a delicious meal (you are awesome hosts, thank you!). <br />
<br />
I was in charge of all the decorations, here's a list of some of the things that made a cute ambient for our dinner honoring baby Nerea:<br />
<br />
<b>1.</b> Marie's gorgeous table cloth, made by her sister.<br />
<b>2.</b> Pink and white <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/how-to/tissue-paper-pom-poms-how-to">pom-poms</a>, made of tissue paper.<br />
<b>3.</b> Signs on <a href="http://www.zarahome.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/zarahomees/es/zarahomees/153598/31915/Reservapuestos%2BSillas">card holders</a>.<br />
<b>4.</b> A "Tree of life" made with an artificial plant and some words attached to the leaves with tiny wood clips. <br />
<b>5.</b> <a href="http://www.zarahome.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/zarahomees/es/zarahomekidses/0/31713/Hucha%2BNew%2BBorn%2BOsito">Bear moneybox</a> for little notes with messages for Nerea. <br />

We are so lucky, we've been chosen to be the audience of so beautiful acts. The sunrise, the aurora borealis, the music, the lightnings, the snow, the wind, the colors… <br />

Loving Kristen Wiig's photo session for this month's cover of <a href="http://www.papermag.com/">Paper Magazine</a>. This girl had me at hello, it's not just about <a href="http://www.bridesmaidsmovie.com/">Bridesmaids</a> (that she co-wrote and started), it's her style, her talent (she <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t2pP2KLlgU">acts</a>, she writes, she sings!).<br />
<br />
Above all, what I admire is her ability to make us laugh, I mean, yesterday I was feeling kind of down, I watched <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1Nr8d8wIaA">this skit</a> and laughed so hard that I almost cried. We need to laugh more, is healthy. <br />

This year has been about messages, we've had a pretty hectic one, lots of changes. But I guess that everything has happened in order to give us the courage to take those steps that could get us into a happier life, accept challenges, make decisions and actually do things.<br />
<br />
<b>Top 5 messages taken from this year events:<br />
</b><br />
<b>1.</b> You need to give love to receive love. <br />
<b>2. </b>Budget is not a bad word.<br />
<b>3.</b> <a href="http://elly-oh.blogspot.com/2011/10/la-paloma-que-une-mas-de-cien.html">Give time and you'll get happiness back.</a><br />
<b>4.</b> Even in loss we find strength.<br />
<b>5.</b> You are beautiful.<br />
<br />
I love words, so I take some and save them for a rainy day. I love to dress them with nice typography, print or e-mail them. I'd like to believe that for every message there's a little bird that whispers in my ear, even if there are bad news. <br />
<br />
Here are some of the words for this season, you can download them <a href="http://elli-o.com/creativeshop/pdf/messages.pdf">here</a> if you like.<br />

So in love with this photo shoot of <a href="http://www.imdb.es/name/nm0636426/">Noomi Rapace</a> for December's issue of <a href="http://www.blackbookmag.com/movies/the-original-girl-with-the-dragon-tattoo-noomi-rapace-puts-lisbeth-salander-behind-her-1.42411">BlackBook </a>magazine. Noomi has been recognized internationally because of her incredible portray of <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the</span></i> female character of last decade, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL8LI-h2WFc">Lisbeth Salander</a>, in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_series">Millenium</a> trilogy. <br />
<br />
After that transformtaion, which I found compelling, she now has moved on. She looks so chic and stylish, I'm looking forward to see more of her work.<br />

I'm not only in love with <a href="http://wurmapp.com/">this app</a>, but so thankful too. <a href="http://tirelessweaver.com/">Anna O.</a> alias <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/tirelessweaver">@tirelessweaver</a> created a beautiful and awesome platform that enables anyone to be an "artist", sort of say. <br />
<br />
Lover of patterns, as she declares, made available brushes and editable settings that give endless possibilities. I'm still learning to use it, but have already made like 20 canvas.<br />
<br />
The other thing I like is that it randomly picks the brush, canvas background, colors and transparency, so every tap it's a new adventure (you can edit the settings every time you like). Here are some images of my "art", I did most of them during our road trip (of almost 11 hours).<br />

We scheduled a week off to come to <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_(Almer%C3%ADa)">Almería</a>. Since we arrived we've had beautiful and sunny days. We make pancakes in the morning and spend the day having long walks or visiting the towns nearby. <br />
<br />
Time is the most precious thing we take from this trips, the amount we spend together, laughing, holding hands, kissing. <br />
<br />
We cook every day together in the kitchen, Ander keeps running and playing with his cousin. It's lovely. <br />
<br />
<b>Things I love so far:</b><br />
<b>1.</b> The Sun.<br />
<b>2.</b> Kids running on their way to the swimming pool.<br />
<b>3.</b> Having a cup of tea while I watch the sunset from my balcony.<br />
<b>4.</b> Kids pretending they are zombies. <br />
<b>5.</b> The beautiful patterns everywhere.<br />
<b>6.</b> Work a little outside with a cool breeze. <br />
<br />

That captivates an audience. At only 31 she's already an acclaimed actress. What I like the most of her is her focus and determination into conveying complex emotions through the characters she plays.<br />
<br />
I've been waiting for December's issue of <a href="http://www.elleuk.com/">ELLE Magazine UK</a> for a while. Since I saw the <a href="http://www.elleuk.com/elletv/(channel)/inside-elle/(playlist)/elle-magazine/(video)/behind-the-cover-michelle-williams">behind the scenes</a> I was eager to see the photos and read the article. I've finally got the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/es/app/elle-magazine-uk/id469353635?mt=8">digital issue</a> (¿How amazing is that it's available for iPhone too?). I loved the article by Jenny Dickinson, I read it over and over before I go to sleep.<br />
<br />
Michelle has been featured in every interview and magazine because of her <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE4i9_XLOCE">critically acclaimed portray</a> of the one and only Marilyn Monroe in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_tbnTM7zVE">My Week With Marilyn</a>.<br />
<br />
I admire this girl's style, professionalism and above all, her dedication as a Mom without compromising her passion for her work.<br />

Love and distance. I know that story. <br />
<br />
My beloved friend <a href="http://valeriaoropeza.com/">Val</a> got married on the 11th, I couldn't make it, I already knew that but still I was sad. But not for long, she posted a couple of photos (just a preview of her photo session) and I could see not only happiness but a sweet mood.<br />
They where shot in local places, streets of town (they wed in Puerto Vallarta). They are very casual but unique. Just like them. <br />
<br />
Love and distance... Val has to move as I did, she and I have some similar stories. I love you my sweet angel. <br />

Here's a little song I wish I had danced at my wedding, when I heard it I could relate to the story, as when we get lost we usually find ourselves. This happened to both husband and me, he found me across the ocean, I found myself in this journey. Love and distance... <br />

I remember when I was younger I used to skip breakfast a lot. My father always insisted that I had to change that. <br />

Now I can't start my day without it. Even though I have an early start, and do a couple of chores in-between, I still get to have a nice breakfast every day. For the week I make it simple, in weekends we do cook something more elaborate and fun.<br />
<br />
<b>Here's how I do it:</b><br />
<b>1.</b> Make a pot of coffee for husband (while he still in the shower).<br />
<b>2.</b> Wash some berries and put them in a bowl of cereal and skimmed milk.<br />
<b>3.</b> Go wake up kid.<br />
<b>4. </b>Put a slice of bread to toast. In the meantime start eating cereal.<br />
<b>5. </b>Go and help Ander get dressed, wash face & teeth.<br />
<b>6.</b> Go back to kitchen and eat toast with a little cream cheese and a small glass of orange juice. While doing that I put some water to boil.<br />
<b>7.</b> Make Ander's breakfast and serve on the dining room, he's already waiting. Put the water in my cup with a tea bag already in.<br />
<b>8. </b>Get coats, shoes, Ander's backpack, we're almost ready. ¡Tea is ready!. A couple of sips and away we go!<br />
<br />
Breakfast is like the beginning of our routine, but a very fun one, having one bathroom and a tiny kitchen makes it a little tricky as we bump into each other all the time. As we go in and out of rooms, we share kisses and hugs, eat in-between and run. I love it!<br />
<br />
¡Happy morning!<br />
<br />

<br />
Last week I had a beautiful birthday. I spent the morning in the city and had a birthday coffee at <a href="http://www.restauranteatlanta.com/">Katy's</a>. When I got back I dressed up for my date with Ander, who "invited" me to dine at McDonald's.<br />
<br />
My family called and sang <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-QlwwGBf94">"Las Mañanitas"</a> as every year. I Had cupcakes with husband and son. Then I changed into a beautiful dress, put on pink lipstick and went out for some drinks with my girls.<br />
<br />
I can say that I feel very comfortable in my own skin now. Even though times are hard, I'm pretty lucky to have lovely people around me. I'm happy.<br />
<br />
<b>Top 5 of my birthday:</b><br />
<b>1. </b>Tiny arms around me (son's hugs).<br />
<b>2.</b> Pink cupcakes and macaroons from <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.248289288555552.78406.178676035516878&type=3">here</a>.<br />
<b>3. </b><a href="http://youtu.be/XseOiziMsJE">This song</a>.<br />
<b>4. </b>Blowing candles with son & husband. <br />
<b>5. </b>Drinks with my girls.<br />

It's unique, your sisters are always there, they know you, they feel you. I miss mine every day, so much it hurts.<br />
<br />
This two have been one of my favorite duo, they are both very stylish. This pictures for December's edition of <a href="http://www.wmagazine.com/celebrities/2011/12/dakota-fanning-elle-fanning-sisters-cover-story">W Magazine</a> are stunning. <br />

El sábado pasado tuvimos el placer de comer en una auténtica taquería mexicana.<br />
<br />
Una tarde gris y lluviosa, se convirtió en una de las más agradables de los últimos años. Mikel y Luis, de Gernika y Monterrey respectivamente, fueron los anfitriones. Juntos crearon hace cuatro años la taquería mexicana <a href="http://txokomex.com/web/">Txokomex</a>. Desde que nos "asomamos" a la cocina, notamos el exquisito olor de los guisos. <br />
<br />
Mikel nos llevó a la Kantina, que está justo en frente, nos sentamos en la barra y disfrutamos de la conversación mientras nos preaparaba las bebidas. Yo pedí una <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelada">michelada</a> y Josu una cerveza Negra Modelo. Pedimos de todo un poco, Luis es el encargado de la cocina, con lo que cada plato tiene el sazón de México. <br />
<br />
El ambiente es muy ameno, hay música mexicana y buena comida. Es una auténtica taquería, con guisos mexicanos y buenas "botanas" (aperitivos). Además las salsas las preparan con auténticos chiles mexicanos, cultivados en Gernika. Desde los ingredientes se puede apreciar la mezcla de culturas y sabores. <br />
<br />
Muchas gracias, Mikel y Luis, por una tarde entrañable. <br />

Entre taco y taco pudimos hablar con Eugenio y Dani, quienes han formado <a href="http://www.facebook.com/amexicoeuskadi">ASIME</a>, una asociación que promociona la integración entre las culturas de Euskadi y México. Una de las actividades que tienen actualmente es un <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.167494993343612.38972.100002493384133&type=1">altar de muertos</a>.<br />
<br />
En México se celebra el <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%ADa_de_Muertos">"Día de Muertos"</a> el 2 de Noviembre; la fiesta se destaca por los altares, en los que cada persona monta una estructura con fotografías, velas, papeles de colores, <a href="http://www.mexicolindoyquerido.com.mx/mexico/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=671&Itemid=70">flor de cempasúchil</a> y comida (la que "el difunto" disfrutaba más en vida). Como muchas cosas en México, es una fiesta que llena de color un evento "triste".<br />
<br />
El Altar lo ha montado Jaime Yacaman, originario de Toluca, y estará en exhibición hasta el domingo 13 de Noviembre en la calle Barrenkale No. 24 (al lado de la "takeria"). <br />

Still in her "Lisbeth Salander" look, Rooney Mara is exquisite in this photos for November's edition of <a href="http://www.vogue.es/">Vogue</a> US. Beautiful. Here's a <a href="http://youtu.be/cCsKMZDYanQ">behind the scenes</a>.<br />

I really liked the <a href="http://www.vogue.com/magazine/article/rooney-mara-playing-with-fire/">article</a> by Jonathan Van Mete.<br />

I just can't stop talking about this movie. With so much going on in life: the economic crisis, responsibilities toward the education of our boy and our ability to change things. Everything seems too deep sometimes. <br />
<br />
To actually enjoy and take something of art seems impossible with all these distractions. <br />
<br />
Husband and I finally had some time to be together, I told him about a movie I really wanted to see, he agreed. So we did, movie night: <a href="http://www.drive-movie.com/">Drive</a>. I can't really explain what I was feeling, this piece is amazing, is a ver well done movie. Everything is carefully chosen, the script, the cast, the very visual director. You end up expierencing all sort of emotions. <br />

<b>My favorite from <a href="http://www.drive-movie.com/">Drive</a>:</b><br />
<br />
<b>1. </b>Pink <a href="http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/mistral/">Mistral</a> type in opening credits and <a href="http://youtu.be/MV_3Dpw-BRY">this</a> song as they appear. <br />
<b>2. </b>Driver's <a href="http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-prospectus/post/_/id/34092/drive-costume-designer-erin-benach-answers-all-your-questions-about-ryan-goslings-satin-jacket">satin jacket</a> by costume designer <a href="http://erinbenach.com/">Erin Benach</a>. <br />
<b>3. </b>The <a href="http://youtu.be/syjF8GUSBmY">elevator scene</a>, no words and so much said.<br />
<b>4.</b> <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/drive-original-motion-picture/id455448129">Music</a>, as many of my favorite films, the score and songs are another character to the story. <br />
<b>5.</b> The cast. I know everybody talks about Ryan, but the whole cast is nothing but spectacular. <br />
<b>6.</b> Mr. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0716347/">Nicolas Winding Refn</a>. From the moment I heard his speech in Cannes, where he thanked the jury for <i style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">"their good taste"</i>, I knew I would love his film.<br />
