Atmosphere. Joyful Snowy Sunday: Today.

Worn 75. The last golden days.

How to look like a farmer without having a farm. Combine the next elements: blue overall, brown leather cowboy boots, autumn background. 

There you have it.

WORN 73. Silky blue

It's long time ago that I made the last worn in here, my blog. Almost four months, to be concrete. Becoming a mother is such a full new experience that doesn't leave space for so much else. To dress up becomes a practical task. You suddenly have no time to build up outfits. It is complicated to make clothing choices. There is the fact that I have gained weight, most of my clothes don't fit me well. There is the another fact: the clothes have to let me bring my breast out easily, pragmatically, plenty of times a day. I discovered then that my tops are not good for that task. I struggled a bit in the beginning. I didn't feel inspired, neither motivated, to dress up. 
Nevertheless the other day I felt the need, the urge, to dress up. To be sophisticated. To use a bit of make up. Here you see the result: silk trousers (in my new size), this lovely top I inherited from my mother (my breasts barely fit inside), this kimono-like tunic...A celebration of good quality textiles. The outfit reminded me of some asiatic vibes so I made the photos in a corner of the park that makes me feel the same atmosphere.  
It felt good to be elegant. Even if is just some kind of luxury, not for every day. 

By the way, we are leaving tomorrow for a three weeks trip. To enjoy a really needed holidays. To enjoy a really needed time next to the sea. I didn't see the sea for a really long time and I miss it intensely. 
Maybe I will make posts from there but I don't promise anything. Manfred, Fauna and me will be with the totality of my siblings and my mother. It will be a full time of joy for me. 

PD: We went to the doctor and he conclude that Fauna is growing correctly. Despite she is slim and gains weight slowly, she has good reflects and energy enough (especially to cry loud).

.ATMOSPHERE. 1st of May in the neighbourhood

Today was a beautiful day. The first truly warm day of this spring. The atmosphere was golden and delicious. 1st of May is always supposed to be special and crazy in this city but I don't remember one as nice as this one. This year the mood was chilled out and friendly as never before. Manfred, the belly and I were feeling gorgeous. I couldn't help go around with my naked belly, dancing and smiling. I enjoyed so much! What a great Sunday full of love.
Now I am lying on the bed, really relaxed next to my blonde Monkey. Out there, on the streets, the party still goes on and the night is full of life. I love my neighbourhood.

.WORN 71. Blooming

Spring is shyly arriving to the city. The sky remains grey but the spirit of the people is totally into the new season. Trees are beautifully blooming as my womb bloom too. I am in the end of the 37th week of my pregnancy and this belly of mine grows every single day. I feel how my little girl is getting uncomfortable as she has each day less space to swim inside. She is very active, pushing her feet and hands to the outside, like if she was trying to make place around her. I was lucky to not store liquid in my legs.... until now. My ankles are getting thicker and it's a truly uncomfortable sensation. I'm glad that it didn't happen before. I feel sorry for those who have this condition since the fifth month, or earlier.
My childhood friend Maria has come to Berlin to visit me/us and we are just chilling around. It's our best way to be together, just being. And also, she makes great portraits of me, don't you think? I guess that is because she brings out the best of me. I am feeling happy, really happy.

.PERSONAL. Any Sunday afternoon ❧

I love doodling tattoos on the skin of my colleagues, it is very entertaining. They also like it, it's very pleasing.

.INSPIRATION. Geniuses still exist!!!

  El otro día me ocurrió un milagro artístico. Tuve la grata experiencia de conocer un nuevo y magnífico instrumento. Ha sido bautizado como Mulatar y nació hace apenas dos años aquí en Berlín. Puede ser tocado en diferentes estilos musicales y le permite al músico un gran virtuosismo. A la par que complejo, es muy accesible a principiantes pues se puede tocar intuitivamente y suena bien, resulta divertido. Tiene muchas posibilidades de timbre: incluye percusión y cuerda, que a su vez puede ser frotada, pulsada o percutida. Se puede utilizar un complemento que convierte el sonido como un sintetizador. Esta hecho de madera y es en gran parte analógico; pero va enchufado a un amplificador, por lo que tambien funciona de forma electrónica. El diseño guarda un orden de proporciones. El Mulatar es un instrumento bello en esencia y en apariencia.
  Los dos genios creadores, Jordi Rubi y Benjamin Bär, se hacen llamar Lockruf. Juntos y en armónica conexión han engendrado este y otros instrumentos; fruto de la amistad, la pasión por las ideas y la experimentación. Para ellos el trabajo aún no ha terminado, ofrecen su dedicación a dar a conocer el mágico instrumento. Si quieres saber más, entra en su web www.lockruf-music.de.

 Yo conocí personalmente a Jordi y es un hombre humilde, agradable e interesante.


  The other day happened to me an artistic miracle. I had the pleasant experience of meeting a new and magnificent instrument. It was named as Mulatar and was born just two years ago here in Berlin. It can be played in different musical styles and allows great virtuosity for the musician. At the same time it is complex, very accessible to beginners because you can play intuitively, it sounds good and is fun. It contains many possibilities of ringing: includes percussion and strings, wich in turn can be rubbed, pulsed or percussive. You can use a complement that converts sound like a synthesizer. The instrument is made of wood and is largely analog; but it is plugged into an amplifier so it also works in electronic form. The design keeps an order of proportions. The Mulatar is a beautiful instrument in essence and in appearance.
  The two creative geniuses, Jordi Rubi and Benjamin Bär, call themselves Lockruf. Together and in harmonic connection they have bred this and other instruments; result of friendship, passion for ideas and experimentation. For them the work isn't over, they offer their dedication to raising awareness of the magical instrument. If you want to know more, go to their web www.lockruf-music.de. 

 I met personally Jordi and he is a humble, nice and interesting man.

.ADVENTURE. Sunday, 4:00h pm. Görlitzer park

 Así es como se lo montan en mi barrio. Algunos todavía de fiesta desde el sábado, otros más frescos que se lo encuentran de casualidad. Me encanta.

 Like this is how they do it in my neighborhood. Some of them are still partying from the Saturday night, others more fresh find it by coincidence. I love it.
