Mother's Day Alfresco

Hope you all had a great Mother's Day with all your love ones! Yesterday was a really nice day, I spent it with my family over an al fresco lunch. The day began at 1 PM, so I knew it would be warm and decided to go with this BCBG maxi dress with a really beautiful salmon color, bright colors like this one work perfectly for daytime activities. I kept jewelry to a minimum just sporting a coral reef inspired cuff and my watch, trying to keep in tone with an easy afternoon of great food and company. The tablescape was created by my mom and it definitely made us feel as if we where somewhere in Italy. I snapped a picture of the key lime pie I baked with home made whipped cream, it was the perfect dessert for a daytime lunch. The recipe was given to me by my boyfriend's mom, so we definitely made it all about our moms! 

Hope you like the pictures!

Airiness

I spotted this BCBG blouse some time ago and I've paired it with everything from skinny jeans to wide leg jeans, today I chose this skirt. Even though I'm pretty petite I love wearing loose and big blouses like this one, I always wear them with high heels or platforms like these to balance the look . I not only fell in love with the blouse because of it's construction but it has this great geometric print that contrasts perfectly with the water color feeling it has. Looks like this one are perfect for spring or welcoming summer because of their airiness and carefree style.  I always try to find items like this blouse, that I know I'll be able to wear with different things and achieve completely different looks. 

Let me know what you think!

Zig-Zag

It's amazing how today was the exact opposite of yesterday's amazing sunny day. Yesterday I was sitting under an umbrella reading and enjoying an amazing sunny day at the beach, but today it was really gloomy, insanely windy and all I wanted was to be covered up. I recently scored this poncho on a sale at BCBG and thought that I wouldn't be using it for some time, but it was the perfect item for today. I love wearing big sweaters or covering up with a huge poncho, but when your look is mainly about one piece it shouldn't be ordinary or boring. This poncho has an amazing finish to it and the zig-zag print brings color and interest to the look. The idea of a poncho brings laid back boho chic to mind and that was exactly what I was going for today. I decided to pair the poncho with my trusty ripped skinny jeans, booties and oversized leather bag; I think that despite the sudden weather change I was still on beach mode and just wanted to be relaxed.  Let me know what you think about the look!

Croc Embossed

I went shopping during the weekend and bought this amazing Zara blouse, that I couldn't wait to style for the blog. I loved this blouse for its modern crisp look and detailed fabric; lately I've been really interested on sharp modern lines. The blouse has this incredible crocodile embossed pattern that I really wanted to highlight, so I paired it with short shorts and cutout booties to achieve an edgy look. You could pull off this edgy look with skinny black jeans or leggings for a more modest version. I decided on this reef cuff to add interest to the look and give it a spin, and what's best about it was the amazing bargain it was! Let me know what you think about this look!

Cozy

Finally, it rained! It hadn't rained for about 3 weeks give or take, and today a light rain graced our surroundings. I wasn't expecting to blog this look today, at all..., but it rained and got pretty cold outside so I thought that what I was initially going to post today would be sort of out of character. It was super pleasant outside, a light breeze was about and it felt really nice to be outside. I have a big love for oversized tops like this sweater, and when I'm not pairing them with shorts I always choose skinny jeans, to balance out the equation. I hadn't worn my moccasins in a long time but thought they would look great with this, and would tie in the comfy/laid back look and of course the fact that fringe is peeking in on the trend forecast was a total bonus. Let me know what you think about the look!

The Edgy Look

These couple of last days I've been really into the skinny jeans, and I've always had this love affection to the half tuck in blouse look. These skinny jeans are really old but they're just perfect, because they look really really skinny but they're super comfortable to wear. What I like about this look is that it has an edginess to it, but at the same time it looks effortless, and it works for girls night out or dinner with your significant other. Let me know what you think about the look!
