An ex-libris, also called bookplate, is a kind of printed stamp at the beginning or end of a book that says who owns it (think of the stamp you surely have seen in the books owned by a library). Though ex-libris have been used since ancient times, their "golden age" in Catalonia was during the Modernist movement (the Catalan equivalent of Art Nouveau), where many bookworm people commissioned artists to have a beautiful personal ex-libris that they could use to stamp all their collection.

“I’m wearing layered tulle skirts from Other People’s Clothes, an off the shoulder loose tee, and some vintage jewelry and shoes that were a gift from my mom. I try to maintain a wardrobe that is mostly secondhand, it’s like a treasure hunt and it makes the items you get ahold of so much more special. I think it also pushes you to curate a style that feels unique to you. I love layering, and I love loose and flowy attire – I’m very inspired by fantasy and I try to put together outfits that have a whimsical feel to them. It makes me feel like I’m bringing a bit of magic into my day!”
