Spring 2013 Clutches

 

 

 

Bags from Spring 2013.  The two Bulgari clutches are timeless with a vintage flare to them perfect for any wedding or formal event . The white clutch resembles art-deco details and the beaded one is pure luxury with great colors. The Alexander McQueen clutch combines femininity with black leather, spikes and skull for any rocker chic or Parisian look.

The best traditions last years; at Rincon Puerto Rico for the holidays. Simple attire requirements: bikini, sunglasses, hat & a great book.

Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2013

Absolutely love Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2013. The shape of the gowns are perfect for a female figure, hugging but extremely flattering.

Welcoming the 2013

How do we welcome the new 2013? Do you believe in the infamous “how you start this year could define the rest of it?” or are you more of the “it’s just another day in the calendar”. I’ve never pondered this before but I definitely tried to start the year of with the right foot in terms of style and actions. On January 1^st I wore my favorite Zara striped pants with a geometrical print top and Christian Siriano platforms.

I’ve never worn too much lipstick and have always been told by my grandmother “pintate los labios” which is Spanish for “paint your lips” (this is the literal translation).  So, with this in mind I bought a great Dior red lipstick which I haven’t stopped using since I bought it a couple of days ago, I’m beginning to think it might be addictive.  In terms of accessories I went light on my jewelry with really thin gold hoop earrings, Michelle watch and gold bracelet which my mother lent me only under her watchful eye.  I decided to go light on the jewelry because of the print mixing I used. And last but certainly not least I wore a DKNY leather bag which certainly gave the look a luxurious touch and texture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maxi Dress

Whenever I buy a maxi dress I try to find one with a great print. It achieves an effortless chic look.

Oatmeal Cookies

I’ve baked these cookies for a long time & they always come out perfect. They are great to eat alone, with a cup of coffee or to crumble over yogurt or ice-cream. I prefer cookies to be chewy instead of crunchy so I just take them with they begin to get golden on the sides and quickly take them off the cookie sheet.

Enjoy!


Recipe:

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cyp butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
3 teaspoons vanilla, divided
3 cups uncooked old-fashion or quick-cooking oats
