SWEET SUMMER OUTFIT IDEA

The days are longer, the sun shines brighter… Oh, sweet summer days!

Sun stands still, beaches are filled… Time to escape the weekday craze.

Sun-kissed skin, drops of rain, humid outdoors… Still all the same.  Oh, how I love my sweet summer days.

If the sun could speak what would it say? If you could hear a tune from a simple breeze what song would it play? Oh gloomy rain, please refrain so I can play in my sweet summer days.

___________________________________________________________________

As you can see, I woke up a bit on the sappy side today. But hey, a little summer poem never hurt anyone? ;) Are you in need of a little inspiration or perhaps even a little help for a summer outfit?

Here’s a little sweet summer outfit idea… I wore this to attend the 2nd day of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week event:

MONOCHROMATIC SUMMER WHITES

In the midst of all the print craze… Today, I decided I needed a visual break from colors, patterns and all things bright! Therefore, I decided to pull out the classic monochromatic summer whites!

Yes, yes, I know it may seem too “matchy-matchy” to wear the same color, but this monochromatic style is almost an effortless way to look stylish this summer. While the trend of wearing one color is easy on the eyes, it actually isn’t as easy to pull off. For starters, piecing a top/bottom and finding the exact shade of a color can be quite a challenge. Even for white!

So, here are a few tips that can help you as you try this monoch summer whites or any other monochromatic trend:

  • Find a suitable color for your skin tone and body type
  • When using bright colors mixing hues is appropriate and even fun
  • Blending fabrics and textures can add interest to your look
    (I did it with today’s look and it helped with color matching)
  • Denim on denim is perfectly permissible

Basically, when it comes to creating a monochromatic look, your possibilities are endless. So have fun with it and be brave! Happy Monday!

Con toda la locura de colores fuertes y diseños floreados … Hoy decidí que necesitaba un descanso visual! Por lo tanto, decidí sacar el clásico look de blanco sobre blanco!Sí, sí, ya sé que puede parecer demasiado “matchy–matchy” que use el mismo color, pero este estilo monocromático es casi una forma fácil de lucir de moda este verano. Mientras que la moda de usar solamente un color es fácil en los ojos, en realidad no es tan fácil de lograr. Por ejemplo, buscando una blusa y encontrar el tono exacto de la falda o pantalon puede ser todo un reto. Hasta para el blanco!Pues, aquí tienes algunos consejos que pueden ayudarte en tus esfuerzos:

  • Busca un color adecuado para tu tono de piel y tipo de cuerpo
  • Cuando uses colores brillantes mezcla tonos – no es solamente apropiado, pero tambien divertido
  • No tengas miedo de mezclar los tejidos y texturas pueden añadir interés a tu estilo
    (Lo hice con el look de hoy y me ayudó con la combinar el color)
  • Denim con denim es perfectamente admisible

 


Básicamente, cuando se trata de crear tu look monocromático, tus posibilidades son infinitas. Así que diviertete con el y se valiente! Feliz Lunes!

BACK TO BASICS CHAMBRAY

It’s been way too long since I’ve sat in front of this computer and just blogged. Gosh, it feels like with just the blink of an eye days go by and time never ceases.

Well, today I go back to basics in my favorite chambray LOFT shirt.

Whether its work, busyness, events, or just routine in general… Life happens and every so often I have to remember to intentionally just stop, slow down and take it in. The last few months have been whirlwind, but they have totally been a blessing. Miguel and I finally moved into an apartment in Miami Beach and it has honestly been one of the best decisions we’ve made in a while. I can’t believe we didn’t live here sooner! He absolutely hated his 45 minute commute to the beach and now its a 5 minute drive! Woot woot!

Finally, now that we’re all settled in, its back to basics…

In every aspect of life. No more crazy-filled schedules, no more living out of unpacked boxes. It’s time to be self-disciplined. We’re back to taking our afternoon strolls, enjoying time with each other and doing things that helps us de-stress.

How do you go back to basics?

What helps you de-stress? For me, its blogging and working out.

TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

Summer season means travel season is here… Where are you headed to this summer? I’m headed….EUROPE! I can’t wait. I’ll be visiting 8 countries in 25 days and I cannot wait! I can already tell that this summer will be one for the books and am more than excited for the adventures that are up ahead. Now, it’s time to gather some travel essentials…

With my trip right around the corner, I am slowly but surely gathering things for the big departure. So, where do I begin? Here are a few travel essentials that I’ve come up with so far!

Here are a few must have travel essentials:

 

Travel essentials
• Comfortable shoes: They are always a necessity on trips, no matter where you’re headed. And you can never go wrong with a pair of TOMS.
• Camera: Put your phone away and bring along a real camera. How about a mini Polaroid? Nothing beats having your memories instantly developed.
• Hat: Whether you’re on the beach or in the city, a hat will always come in handy on those hot sunny days.
• A Pair of Sunglasses: A timeless pair of sunglasses is always an essential – vacation or not. But just one will do.
• Mini Crossbody: Because we all know the last thing we want is to lug around a huge bag. Give your back a break and find a crossbody that is interchangeable with any outfit. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did!
• Lip Balm: I don’t know about you, but lip balm is a daily essential for me. Toss one into your cross body!
• A Watch: Like I said, put your phone away while you’re on vacation. Try not to look at it…even if it’s just for telling time. Save yourself from the temptation and wear a watch everyday. But try to enjoy your time instead of paying attention to it ;)
• A Journal: last but not least, get into the habit of writing into a journal, daily.  Keep the memories alive, forever.
So there you have it! Where will you be going this summer and what are some of your travel essentials? Let us know!

MEMORIAL DAY FASHION TRENDS

What will you be wearing this weekend? Do you have any special Memorial Day trends you can’t wait to show off?

Although there will be a lot going on around town this weekend, take a moment to be reminded of what Memorial Day is all about.  It is not about the barbecues and the parties, it is about honoring and remembering the fallen soldiers who put their lives on the line for our rights and freedom. So, I would like to thank anyone who is serving or has served in the Armed Forces of the United States.  Thank you for your bravery and dedication to our country.

With that said, what are you up to this Memorial Day weekend? Well whatever it is, will you be showing up in style?

Here are a few Memorial Day fashion trends to inspire your outfit for this weekend’s festivities:

FLOWER POWER

Does the flower give me power? ;)

I’ve come to realize that the way I dress not only affects my mood but it also affects the way I carry myself… If I’m wearing yoga pants, I tend to lounge, kick my feet up & take it easy. On the other hand, if I’m wearing a dress I act proper & poised. Do you find that it’s the same for you?

For the most part, I tend to be drawn to girly & classy things. You know, dresses, flowers, polka dots… But every so often, I venture out into the trendier side of things. But not today! Today, I keep it classy! I’m wearing my favorite Zara flower power dress.

I got this dress a while ago, but I guess I forgot about it because its first debut was to an editor preview. I love it, I think it’s the perfect flower power dress! If it could speak I think it would say, “I’m flowery & fun” ;)

I’ve worn this dress to run errands, brunches, & even work meetings.

What’s your go-to piece for a fun yet classic look?

En estos dias, me he dado cuenta que mi forma de vestir no sólo afecta mi estado de ánimo, sino que también afecta a la forma en que actuo … Por ejemplo, si uso pantalones de yoga, tiendo a estar mas relajada y tomo todo con calma. Pero si estoy usando un vestido, actúo adecuada y con muchos modales. ;) ¿A ustedes les pasa lo mismo?

Por lo mayor, siempre tiendo a estar atraída a las cosas femeninas y clasicas. Ya sabes, vestidos, flores, lunares … Pero de vez en cuando, me atrevo un poco y trato de usar la moda mas “edgy y juvenil.” Pero hoy no! Hoy traigo puesto uno de mis favoritos vestidos clasico.

Ya hace tiempo que tengo este vestido, pero supongo que me olvidé de él porque este es su primer debut. Me encanta, creo que es el vestido perfecto! Si pudiera hablar creo que diria: “Tendre flores y soy muy divertido, pero la flor también te da poder!” ;)  Me lo he pongo para hacer mandados, para almuerzos, y hasta para las reuniones del trabajo.

¿Cuál es su tu pieza favorita — que te sirve para diversión, pero que tambien tiene su aspecto clásico?

EASY BREEZY FASHION

It’s never too early to talk summer fashion in Miami… And I’ll be looking for some easy breezy fashion this season!

During the summer season, there are a few pieces I like to avoid especially  – jeans, jackets, and anything that isn’t light and airy. When I find a piece that add a pop of style but still keeps me cool, it’s usually hard for me to resist., and what catches my attention even more are one of a kind, hand made pieces for a good cause. That’s why I’m here to tell you about Kapara Designs.

Kapara Designs scarfs are hand-printed by artisans in Bagru, India using a hand blocking printing method.  Each design is made out of a soft, light blend of Indian silk and cotton fabric hand-carved into wooden blocks. They believe that the items we own should, “…not only be beautiful, but also meaningful,” which is why they stress the importance of paying each craftsman a fair wage for their work.

– Zara Sunglasses
– Steve Madden Sandals

They offer different prints, styles, and are perfect addition to your closet this season! How will you be styling yours?
