LATINA GLAM

Filled with Latina glam, Miami is truly a place like no other…

As a visitor, one quickly learns that the Latin culture has a huge influence in our city. From Spanish billboards/signs, to different traditions, body-types, languages & foods; they all encompass the fun & vibrant life our city has to offer.

And we all know it isn’t easy to avoid the hair frizz & embrace the humidity in our day-to-day looks. Well, Glam Magazine featured some of our favorite Miami fashion bloggers (us included ;) ) with a street-style post in the 2014 Spring issue of Glam Belleza Latina.

They asked us to share our beauty secrets & focus on how we embrace Miami & our Latina roots. Here’s a peek:

The magazine, a branch-off from Glamour.com, launched earlier this year & is produced by a team of proud Latinas! We loved participating in their Miami feature. We got to share the experience with a few friends & also meet some new amigas with impeccable fashion & flawless looks.

OFF THE WALL

The weather is warm, the days are getting longer, and it is finally spring. This time of year calls for airy, light clothes, and a refreshing stop at a local ice cream shop. But not just any ice cream shop. I am talking about one of a kind, special to Miami deliciousness – Walls Old Fashion Ice Cream.

Walls Old Fashioned Ice Cream is a must-go for the fellow ice cream lover. On top of the fact that they are family owned, their ice cream and fudge is all home made. And let me also add that their rocky road flavor is one of my favorites in town!

On this delicious outing I thought I’d keep it airy by wearing a pair of palazzo pants from Forever 21 and a cropped top. In case you weren’t aware, Forever 21 has a huge selection of palazzo pants and I’m dying to go back for my next find!

CROP CROP

PETER PILOTTO X TARGET crop top
AMERICAN APPAREL skirt
PRABAL GURUNG X TARGET sandals
KATE SPADE bag

I’ve been a fan of Target designer collaborations for quite a while now, and as you know, Peter Pilotto for Target was no exception. As usual, I did most of my shopping online, though I think I may have gone a little overboard on this one… Let’s just say you may be seeing quite a mix of Pilotto pieces. ;)

Unfortunately, some items didn’t quite fit as I hoped, (I’m actually having to get a few things tailored) though the crop top was a pleasant surprise. I believe it’s meant to be worn as a swim piece, but who says you have to follow rules? I paired this top with a mid-length pencil skirt to give it just the right amount of class with a hint of sass.

Did you buy anything? What was your favorite piece, and did it run true to size?
______________________

Ya han sido varias veces que he comprado de las colaboraciones de diseñadores de Target, y como ustedes saben, Peter Pilotto no fue la excepción. Como de costumbre, hice la mayor parte de mis compras en línea, aunque creo que esta vez me pase de cuentas… Solo digamos que en los proximos dias talves vean toda una mezcla de piezas Pilotto. ;)

Desafortunadamente, algunas piezas no me quedaron como esperaba, de hecho, algunas de mis compras todavia estan con mi costurera. Pero, este top fue una agradable sorpresa. Yo creo que está supuesto a ser usado como una pieza de baño, pero ¿quién dice que tenemos que seguir las reglas? Lo pareje con una falda lápiz de longitud media para darle la cantidad justa de clase con un toque de insolencia, jaja!

¿Y tu, compraste algo? ¿Cuál fue tu pieza favorita, y como te quedo?
