Simple & Bohemian

I've seen my collection of simple white tops grow little by little, and the thing is, I think you can never have enough of this staple item. They look great with just jeans and a jacket, but they also make the perfect backdrop for other, more extravagant pieces. These shorts have an amazing print, with beads detailing the edge of the pattern; I've worn them with dressier tops for more "fancier" occasions, but decided on this top to make it relax weekend appropriate. 

Since the shorts have a bohemian flair, I added these wooden bead necklaces that have the coolest tassels. I went for a simple understated leather bag, to keep within the style, but loved that the booties gave it an unexpected twist. Hope you like this look!

He visto como mi colección de blusas blancas ha crecido con el tiempo, pero pienso que nunca serán suficientes. Estas blusas, súper simples, se ven tan bien con mahones y un jacket, como con piezas que visten más. Estos pantalones cortos tienen un estampado espectacular y canutillos que van por el borde del mismo. Los he llevado con blusas finas para ocasiones donde tengo que vestir más, pero los quise usar para el fin de semana, por lo que escogí algo más simple con que llevarlo.

Como estos pantalones tienen un toque bohemio, quise ir por detalles simples para el resto, escogiendo estos collares de madera con "tassels" y un bolso de cuero color crema. Para darle un toque inesperado al look me fuí con estos booties grises como detalle final. 

¡Me dejan saber que les parece!

Traveling with Style

 Traveling and style don't usually mix, and even more so when your getting on a 5+ hour trip, it's only natural to value comfort over style in these circumstances. For example, choosing flats over amazing pumps, or going for slouchy pants instead of skinny ones, but the truth is, you don't really have to sacrifice style completely. Lets target pants, I don't consider skinny jeans to be the most comfortable trousers for sitting in small seats for what seems like endless hours, but I won't go for sweatpants either, the trick is to find loose fitted pants, possibly with some stretch to them and if you score them in a great bold color or print it'll be perfect. Blouses are easier to find in a comfortable fit, you can go for a great T-shirt and add a jacket or scarf to keep you warm and add even more colors and character to your look. Ballet flats are a great go to for traveling, they're super easy to take off when you have to pass by the security check points and they're also really comfortable. Lastly, be wise to take a bag that's big enough to fit everything, but that you will able to have your hands free to carry other bags. What are your travel basics? Hope you like this look!

Summer Accessories- Scarves

Layering get's pretty difficult during summer, it can be really hot during the day and then get cooler at night, what's a girl to do? Should we carry a jacket with us during the entire day, so when it gets cooler we're literally covered? In more realistic terms, a scarf is a great accessory to have during summer, it creates the effect of layering and you can add a real statement to your wardrobe with it. I usually choose  scarves that have either a bold print, bright colors or embellishments, or all three in one if you find it. Scarves are a great option to cover up for summer because they're light enough to have during the day, but you can wrap yourself with them when it gets cooler, and if the day has been super warm you can easily fold and store it inside your bag. The versatility that scarves offer is another pro in owning one, you can go for a really laid back look by pairing it with shorts or a short summer dress or dress it up for a more fashionable look with skinny jeans and a great jacket, plus you can have them almost all year round. Hope you liked this post!

Concept Bags

I've been crazy over these bags since I saw them, and I decided to call them concept bags. They're ideal! Definitely the coolest camera bag I've ever seen and the chicest picnic basket ever to exist, and the best part besides being functional in what they're supposed to be, you can use them as bags if you wish.  Spring and summer are the best times to be outside enjoying our surroundings, so I created a look perfect for a picnic and another one ideal for an afternoon of photography.

Picnics bring such a romantic notion to my mind, they're like taking childhood memories and bringing them to life. They could probably be one of the most thoughtful dates one could have. This Kate Spade bag is so reminiscent of the brand, it's fun and different, but still very classy, so I wanted to create a look that was fitting for it. I went for a 50's inspired look, with the full skirt and feminine top, but added a modern twist to the idea with the Panama Hat. Definitely this is not you're last minute ham & cheese sandwiches picnic, this is like a full blown planned to the nth detail type of picnic.

This Rebecca Minkoff bag must be one of the wittiest things out there, it's a functional camera bag that can double as the perfect crossbody bag for any trip. If that's not enough by itself, they come in other colors and a larger size; I think I just found my crucial must have for summer! For this look I imagined an afternoon of taking pictures, so I went for a functional/comfortable look, but still really chic. I chose a bright color for the bag because it works perfectly for spring and summer. Keeping in tune with the bright color, I went for bold floral pattern shorts that work for an entire afternoon of adventuring around, while looking extremely stylish. Since the flats are also a big statement, the blouse works as a neutral piece in the look which keeps it from looking to over the top.
