“I mean, we aren’t really friends.”

“You and I are friends, Gwen.”

“Well, yeah, we’re best friends. But like, Lauren’s kind of weird.”

“What? Isabel’s weirder than me. She’s a Toreador.”

“Just because I prefer to view the world from a place of beauty, and I seek—”

“Yeah, okay.”

Isabel Marquez: 1900s Lookbook

Isabel is almost a teenager, so before she ages up I felt I wanted to post her lookbook too! Isabel is the youngest of the 3 Marquez siblings. She is outgoing and makes friends easily, but also enjoys creative pursuits and helping in the family’s garden. She is closer with her older siblings than her parents, as both of them adore her. Isa loves to dress in the feminine fashions of Edwardian girls. (Again, Isabel’s swimwear look is the same as her athletic look.)

everyday: hair / earrings / dress

formal: dress

athletic: blouse / skirt / boots

sleepwear: nightgown

party: dress

going out: hat / dress

hot weather: dress

cold weather: sweater / dress / boots (GTW)

In Memory of Isabel Eugenia Marquez Cortes

Isabel, the last surviving child of Arturo and Valeria Marquez, passed away around 1928. Isabel enjoyed gardening throughout her whole life and married a gardener named Alvin Cortes when she was a young woman. She had two children with Alvin: Olga and Ignacio. She was widowed when her husband died while serving in the United States Armed Forces during the Great War, and took up work as a store clerk to support her family part-time. After her daughter’s marriage, Isabel lived with her son Ignacio who cared for her through her later years.

Manuel’s Journal

At last, my eighteenth birthday has arrived. I celebrated at home with my sisters and parents— I was glad Adela stopped by; the house has been lonelier without her. Mamá says I am a very handsome young man now. I decided to apply for work immediately as a writer’s assistant at the local publishing company in hopes of becoming a successful author.

Now that I am grown and have found a job, I feel compelled to find a wife soon. I have a little more time to think it over before making a choice...

Isabel celebrated her thirteenth birthday and would leave her school years behind. She was becoming a charming and lively young lady with her father’s dark brown hair and features, whereas her older siblings favored their mother in terms of looks.

Manuel’s Journal

Cousin Ernesto has married Margarita Navarro, with whom I was romantically involved as a teenager. It seems so sudden, but then again, Ernesto always had a way with the ladies. I wonder if I was the only one who noticed that Margarita’s dress, while quite exquisite, looked rather tight...

Nesto and I were always so close and I only hope that we can continue. As for Margarita, I have no regrets for our relationship but I wonder what could have been had I chosen to continue it. I still believe that I made the right choice in marrying Elsa— Margarita seems happier with Ernesto.

Dear Carolina,

Our family wishes yours a most joyous Easter! After church we celebrated with a grand brunch. Arturo says that I am becoming a very skilled cook, and it was delightful to see the children dressed up and so happy for Easter.
