I’m so behind with this project, life got in the way. I was beating myself about it but came to the conclusion that this personal project has to be fun and not stressful. I will only do it when I’m excited about it and it feels genuine. Luna was on spring break last week, we went on a mini vacation to key west but the rest of the time we spent it cuddling. This cuddling session involved one of our favorite books called: An Awesome Book and our beloved cat, Musa.
Ana has been playing the piano for over 20 years. Besides being amazingly talented, she is also stunning! I was given a pretty lady, a gorgeous view and one of the best pianos in the world to work with; can’t complain.
We LOVE ice cream! Need I say more? 🙂 Azucar is our new favorite place, if you’re around 8th St. in Miami make sure you visit. The pistachio flavor was to die for!
Every time Luna and I come back from shopping for Las Celias Shop, we play dress up. It’s one of my favorite things to do with her! We mix and match and most of the time our outfits don’t make sense but it’s so much fun. During one of our dressing up sessions, I suggested an outfit for her and she simply said “That’s not my style, momma” I had mixed feelings about her response, I love the fact that she had her own opinion but wth? My ego was a little hurt.
How gorgeous is Alex? She is getting married soon and wanted to surprise her future husband with these photos. I love the pops of red of this shoot, that huge heart prop by Unearthed Vintage and red lips by Make Up Baby are my favorite!
A while ago, Luna and I were on the road really early in the morning running some errands, when we decided to take detour and go to the beach instead, it was wonderful and so relaxing! We loved it so much that we try to go often, it’s a pain to get up really early but so worth it! This is us enjoying the sunrise.
Luna is the motherly type, she surprises me with random kind gestures like putting my car key inside my purse so I don’t forget or a sweet note inside my notebook. A tea party in her room is one of her specialties. She loves to make tea and decorate her little plates with whatever snack she finds. I could’ve picked a photo with better framing but our face expressions of this one makes me really happy.
The other day my 8 year old daughter was listening to music in her room and it occurred to me how quickly she’s growing up. I remember when I used to listen to my own music and how independent I felt, I wondered if she felt the same way I did when I was her age. I was so relieved to find her playing with her barbies, she is still my little girl! I suppose she will always be. But I also know that things will change and I won’t be able to do the same things we do now, like taking a bubble bath together. That’s the reason I wanted to document our special moments this year. “52 weeks of Celia & Luna” will be a little window into our lives, this is our first self-portrait.
I compiled a mix for all the summer lovers out there. I was going for a danceable upbeat mix but somehow ended up with slower, yet fun songs, songs that have been my sunshine in these endless, rainy Miami days.

Madrid welcomed us with sunny skies and cool breezes. This city was good to us. We partied, slept til’ the afternoon, got lost, saw amazing art, got inspired, shopped, danced, made new friends, reunited with old ones, ate a lot of tapas; lots and lots of tapas. Life was good. 🙂
