Una Mosca en la Luna is Alicia. Alicia is the first spanish blogger I found, and it got me really excited (and hooked in minutes). I was hooked because she talks design, and she really talks gorgeous design. Moreover Alicia has an amazing inspiration folder here on Tumblr, you must go check it out. Alicia blogs in Spanish and is extremely sweet and even if you can't read Spanish, please pop over to check the eye candy.
Inspirations
Favorite Place in the World: As Dorothy used to say “There’s no place like home”. I love places like Sintra in Portugal or Positano in Italy fairy tales places.
Style Icons: I usually pay attention to the people in the street, to me these re the true style icons, there's nothing like checking out The Sartorialist. I'm really not a fashion victim, I'm very pratical, basic and wear timeless pieces.
Favorite Designer: Twenty Century classics like Paul Rand, Saul Bass, Charles & Ray Eames, Fornasetti, scandinavian design, Arne Jacobsen, Verner panton, Eero Saarinen, Marimekko,...
Favorite Movie: It all depends on the moment, lately I'm hooked to BBC's adaptations of the classics like Austen, Dickens, Gaskell... Not long ago I watched Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard which I love, but my taste is varied, I go from period stories to science fiction.
Clothes
Underwear: * Verdissima, Lovable, Etam...
Watch: I don't usually wear one but not long ago I was lucky with a MJW Ciclops.
Day dress and day bag: *Basic colors, jeans, shirts, jackets... I always try to wear comfortable clothes that suit me and my bags are leather and big ones to fit in 1000 of things.
Shoes: * I don't have favorite brands and designers, I am loyal to Clarks for the day to day because of their comfort. I have some heels that I bought on sale from Guy Laroche and guess and s pair o Paul Smith ballerinas.
Home
Inspiration: blogs, blogs and more blogs... Ad Spain, Elle Deco UK, Lonny Magazine…
Favorite Art: The colors of Fauvism, the figure of pre-raphaelian, all the sceneries from Turner, the video-art of Bill Viola, Charlie Harper´s illustrations, Alphonse Muchas' advertisements, the lonely scenes of Edward Hopper,Rex Ray's compositions, Julien Pacaud's collages and many more artists that I got to know through Etsy like Yellena James, Matte Stephens, Lisa Congdon, Leah Giberson, Kareem Rikz...
Bedding: 100% cotton (if it's Egyptian even better). Soft colors.
Stationery: I love letterpress and I'm Obsessed with Print and Pattern.
Coffee table books: I can hardly resist to Taschen books, the last Fashion book, All American ads 1900-1919 and the last one on my list is The World of Ornament.
Flowers: Peonies (very difficult to find here) and white roses.
Beauty
Moisturizer: Apivita First line
Mascara: Lancôme Amplicils Black
Shampoo: Schwarzkopf Bonacure volume boost
Soap: Il Frutteto de Nesti Dante, I brought them from Florence and love their smell.

ReplyDeleteHelena,
ReplyDeleteI had come across "Una mosca..." by chance, I am happy to have discovered another lovely blog! Alicia, I couldn't agree with your more, AD Spain, Elle Deco UK and the new Lonny are my favorite (although AD Spain may be a bit too avantgarde sometimes and Lonny a bit too stuffy sometimes...) but I love them!
Vertigo is one of my favorite movies from the seventies !
