Leopard Print Ballet Flats

I have to admit, a great pair of leopard print shoes are a must in my closet, they add an incredible amount of style to any look. I'm so obsessed with them that I'm still pretty bummed out that I missed on a great pair of Calvin Klein leopard print sandals that where in Marshalls a couple of weeks ago. I own a pair of leopard print loafers, that I probably use too much and you've seen already in some of my posts (here & here), but I have to say that I find ballerina flats to be more versatile than loafers. I know you can't exactly compare them because loafers have a masculine touch while ballerina flats are very feminine, but I've found that ballet flats have more styling options. I saw these incredible flats at Banana Republic and I automatically fell in love with them, they have endless styling opportunities, from a nice sunday dress to any kind of skinny jeans with a leather jacket. The price on these is great, but I found two more great options at even more affordable prices. Hope you like this post!

Banana Republic Ballerina Flats

Tengo que admitir que un par de zapatos de print de leopardo son muy importantes en mi closet, le añaden muchísimo estilo a cualquier look. Este tipo de zapato me gusta tanto, que todavía estoy muy decepcionada que unas semanas atrás me perdí unas sandalias de este estampado Calvin Klein en Marshalls. Tengo unos mocasines de print de leopardo, que quizás uso demasiado y probablemente los han visto antes en el blog (aquí & aquí), pero tengo que admitir que encuentro que los "ballet flats" son más versátiles a la hora de usar. Encontré estos flats en Banana Republic y quedé loca, automáticamente pensé en todas las formas de llevarlas, desde un traje hasta pantalones skinny con un jacket de cuero. El precio es muy accesible, pero encontré dos opciones más con un precio mejor. ¡Espero que les guste este post!

Me dejan saber que les parece.

Stripes It Is

This, is what Fall looks like here in Puerto Rico... after it rained from mid-morning to almost the entire afternoon, at around 4 PM the sun came out and it was an extremely beautiful late afternoon, super sunny and cool. I love wearing stripes, in any color or direction and in any piece of clothing, it's one of those things that will never be out of style. This blouse has a satin finish, so I wanted to dress it down a bit for the weekend, I chose this short white linen skirt and decided to scrunch my sleeves up, it's amazing how little details can make such a change. A leather tote like this one is super versatile, you can take it to the beach or a casual lunch, and to finish the look, I went for platforms, which dresses it up a bit, but still makes it casual! Hope your week is of to a great start and you enjoy this post!

Así, es el otoño en Puerto Rico. Después que llovió la mitad del día, como a las 4 PM salió el sol, y fue una tarde espectacular, bien soleada y fresca. Me encantan las rayas, en cualquier dirección, color y en cualquier pieza de ropa, es un clásico. Esta blusa tiene una terminación satinada por lo que la quise lucir más casual para el fin de semana, escogí esta falda corta y decidí arrugarme las mangas, detalles pequeños tienen la habilidad de cambiar mucho. Un tote de cuero como este, es súper versátil, lo puedes llevar para la playa o hasta un almuerzo casual, para terminar el look me fu por unas plataformas, visten más que unas flats, pero siguen siendo casual. ¡Espero que les guste este look!

Doubling The Dress

Would you ever consider wearing a swimsuit coverup to a fancy dinner party or for a more casual summer get together? Well, let me tell you that you can use your coverup for other occasions during the year. If you happen to have one in a solid color you'll have more options, can you imagine wearing a fish theme dress to a fancy dinner? I can't either... so lets stick to solids. I chose to style this swanky black coverup two different ways, sophisticated and a more casual way by just switching shoes, accessories and hair. 

What makes this coverup double as a great dress is the draping effect created by tying it behind the neck. For the first look I went for a modern and really sophisticated touch, I kept all the jewelry gold tone and simple. I kept the hair loose and swept to the side, choose an Alexander McQueen clutch for the graphics and modern shape and sky high pumps to really finish the look. Red lips are always a great accessory, so I kept them on both looks.

I couldn't help but to think of a few ways to style the coverup, but ended choosing this casual look in addition to the one above. Tying the hair in a bun automatically gave the dress a more primordial role in the complete look and a more casual feel. I decided to pair the dress with platforms as to tackle any terrain, while still looking amazing. I changed up the jewelry and preferred big bracelets with wooden details to give the look a more daytime laid back effect, but I did keep the earrings simple with these gold hoops. The round bright yellow bag is really fun and different, completing the casual look, but showing that casual doesn't necessarily mean underdressed. I hope you start seeing coverups in a different way, and can incorporate them to different occasions during the year besides the beach! 

Let me know what you think & hope everyone had a great father's day!

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.
