Feathers & Colors

Hope you all had an amazing 4th of July weekend, Summer is definitely flying by! As you all might know, I'm a huge print fan and I know that sometimes finding what to match with a bold print might be difficult. I love when I'm able to match bold prints with other prints, for this look I didn't go for a busy print, instead I matched it with this t-shirt, that I absolutely adore. The design and the tassels add interest to the look, but the shorts remain as the center piece. For a more subtle look, I could go for a white linen blouse, or a black t-shirt. For a bold look using solid colors, either turquoise or yellow would work great!

Let me know what you think!

This bracelet, which is also a statement piece is handmade by a friend here in Puerto Rico and it's the perfect way to add an exotic touch to any look. 

Espero que todos hayan disfrutado del fin de semana largo, definitivamente el verano está pasando muy rápido. Los estampados son unas de mis cosas favoritas y siempre estoy buscando cómo mezclar unos con otros. Entiendo que encontrar cómo mezclarlos no siempre es fácil. Para este look me fui por una combinación más sutil, donde el estampado del pantalón sigue siendo la pieza central. Los tassels y el diseño de la t-shirt le añaden un toque diferente al total. Otra manera sutil para combinarlo podría ser con una blusa blanca de hilo o con una t-shirt negra. Para un look más llamativo, usando colores solidos podrías usar una blusa amarilla o turquesa. 

La pulsera que llevo puesta es hecha a mano aquí en Puerto Rico y es la manera perfecta para añadirle un toque exótico a cualquier look. 

¡Espero que les guste el look!

A Statement Top

With 90 degree days here in Puerto Rico is tough to imagine wearing a light jacket for anything, but you might find yourself a bit chilly when the sun has already set and you're eating or having drinks near the beach. The best thing would be to have a light jacket or a shawl to throw over your shoulders and keep on. This jacket is beautifully detailed, so I really wanted it to be the statement piece of the look. The black top was the perfect backdrop for the jacket to really come alive and the skirt goes perfectly with all the colors. 

Hope you like this look!

Con los días tan calientes en Puerto Rico es difícil imaginarse ponerse un jacket para cualquier cosa, pero... si te encuentras comiendo o dándote unos drinks cerca de la playa ya cuando el sol ha caído, puede que te encuentres con una brisa. Lo ideal sería tener un jacket liviano o una estola para ponértela sobre los hombros y seguir andando. Este jacket es súper detallado y quise hacerlo el centro de atención del look, combinando con una blusa negra. El azul de la falda y de los zapatos va súper bien con todos los colores del jacket, uniéndolo todo.

¡Espero que les guste el post!

Summer Mornings

One of my quintessential items for days at the beach or Summer in general are oversized blouses. I still haven't found another item that's as versatile as this one. I usually pair them with shorts, like I did for this look or simply add a thin belt and off we go! I've been obsessing over espadrilles for some time now, I really think they're the perfect Summer shoes and I'm crazy over this laced up version from Soludos. Early weekend mornings around Rincón are always calm and relaxed, so a really casual and simple look was all I wanted. Hope you like this look!

Hay pocas cosas para un look de playa o para verano en general que me gusten tanto como las blusas anchas. Son de las piezas más versátiles, usualmente las llevo con pantalones cortos o les añado una correa finita y listo. No creo que exista mejor zapato para el verano que las alpargatas y llevo varios meses obsesionadas con ellas. Esta versión de Soludos ha sido mi zapato número uno desde que llegue a Puerto Rico. Las mañanas en Rincón durante los fines de semana siempre son tranquilas y súper agradables y solo un look simple y casual es necesario. Espero que les guste este look.

Simplicity

After quite a long hiatus, I'm extremely happy and excited to be blogging again. I'm back in Puerto Rico for the summer and I'm enjoying every second of it. I spent the entire first week at the beach, it's crazy how much I missed it. I wanted to make this post all about the simplicity of Island living during the summer. You really don't need much to pull off a great boho-chic look, I've always thought that it's that effortless touch that makes any look stand out. 

Finding that great beach cover up is a must, if you can take it from early morning beach strolls to drinks at night, I think it's a winner! What I really love about this one is all the fringe it has and the subtle crochet-like details. I wore this look for a spontaneous trip to the beach, so I really wanted to go for a relaxed and easy going style, with just the key items. If I were to dress it up I'd go for cork wedges and a leather bucket bag. 

Hope you like this post & stay tuned for all that is to come!

Después de haber estado un largo tiempo sin poder escribir estoy súper emocionada de empezar a "blog" de nuevo. Estoy en Puerto Rico por el verano y aprovechando cada segundo, estuve toda mi primera semana en la playa, es increíble lo mucho que la extrañaba. Este post lo quise hacer sobre lo poco que se necesita durante el verano para crear un look boho-chic increíble. 

Encontrar un coverup es crucial para el verano, si lo puedes llevar de la playa a darte unos tragos, definitivamente, vale la pena. Lo más que me gusta de este coverup es todo el detalle de fringe que tiene y los detalles de croché. Usé este look para una ida espontánea para la playa y opté por uno bien simple, solo teniendo lo básico. Si fuese a vestir este look más iría por unas plataformas de corcho y un bucket bag de cuero. 

¡Espero que les guste este post!

Island Time/City Time

I bought this sweater for my move to New York, but was delighted to find out it worked perfectly for the cool days in Puerto Rico. Obviously, here in New York I'm wearing it with a layer underneath and like 2 over it, it was much more simpler to style for this look. I loved the off-white color of this sweater, it gives it a more laid-back feeling than a crisp white would. I've been crazy over my new Longchamp bag which was a Christmas presernt from by boyfriend, I'm obsessed with Longchamp's understated elegance. Hope you like this look!

Let me know what you think!

Inicialmente compré este sweater para mi vida en Nueva York pero me encantó descubrir que también funcionaba perfectamente para los días frescos en Puerto Rico. Definitivamente fue más simple llevarlo en Puerto Rico, ya que acá lo llevo con 1 capa por debajo y como 2 por encima. Una de las cosas que más me gustó del sweater fue su color blanco-cremoso, le da un toque relajado y simple. He estado totalmente enamorada de mi cartera nueva la cual fue un regalo de navidades de mi novio, siempre me ha fascinado la elegancia de los bolsos Longchamp. Espero que les guste este post.

Me dejan saber que les parece.

Perfect Island Life Weekend

I know I've been missing from the blog for some time, but I'm back now. I just moved to New York from Puerto Rico, and it's been an interesting couple of days. I thought that this would be the perfect post, because the weather here is the exact same opposite. We took these pictures, like 5 days before I left and seriously, it was such an amazing day. I'm already missing my usuals, shorts, easy going tops, loose flowy hair and of course, my ever present tan. This day I went around Rincon with my boyfriend (& photographer) taking it all in, from the amazing views of the sea from the mountains to the up close version, so an easy going outfit was a must. 

I'm really excited about my new adventure here in New York; I'll be posting a couple of more pictures we took before I left P.R. and then I'll definitely begin to post others, from here in New York.

Hope you like this post!

Mil disculpas que he estado muy alejada del blog, acabo de mudarme a Nueva York y estos han sido unos días muy interesantes. Pensé que este post sería perfecto para poner ya que el clima acá es totalmente opuesto al de Puerto Rico. Estas fotos las tomamos como 5 días antes de irme de Puerto Rico y el día fue una belleza. Definitivamente tengo que reconocer que ya me hacen falta mi piezas de todos los días como los shorts, camisas sueltas, el pelo suelto y ondulado, y pues claro... mi tan. Ese día fui con mi novio (y fotógrafo) por todo Rincon, desde las montañas para ver la vista al mar a la playa, por lo que un look relajado fue muy importante.

Estoy muy emocionada de mi nueva aventura acá en Nueva York. Estaré subiendo otras fotos que tomamos antes de irme, pero después pondré otras que sean de acá. 

¡Espero que les guste!

Starting Fresh

I wanted to share with you one of my looks during the holidays, which in PR are not quite over yet. I actually wore this on the first of January for a family get together. I love a great pleated skirt, you can dress it up or down and it always looks perfect. I usually prefer darker colors, but I fell in love with this light blue because it brings instant freshness to any look. Since we were celebrating the start of a new year I wanted to keep it really fresh and simple, so I decided on an off-white top with few details. Hope you like this post & have an amazing weekend!

Let me know what you think.

Quería compartir con ustedes uno de mis looks de las Navidades, las cuales en PR todavía no han terminado. Siempre me han encantado las faldas de tabletas, las puedes vestir un poco más o un poco menos y siempre quedan súper. Tiendo a preferir los tonos oscuros, pero este azul claro me encantó ya que le da un toque de frescura a cualquier look. Como estábamos celebrando el primer día del 2014, quise ir por algo que se viera bien fresco y simple, por lo que escogí una blusa crema. Espero que les guste este post y tengan un buen fin de semana.

Me dejan saber que les parece.

Bye 2013, Hello 2014!

Happy New Year's to all!!! This is obviously this year's last post and I decided to go for a very relaxed look, perfect for what Winter is like in Puerto Rico. The great thing about these shorts is that the print has many colors, making the styling options endless, but I always end up going simple on the top and letting the amazing print stand out. I loved the contrast between the roughness of a denim blouse with the softness of the print and material of these shorts. 

Living on an island, shorts are a huge must in my closet and I use them almost everyday, but I haven't found another pair that are as beautiful as these. If you're planning to escape the cold weather and live the island life for a little while, try to find a great pair of shorts with an amazing print to complete your look. Hope you like this post & have an amazing 2014!

Let me know what you think!

¡Feliz Año Nuevo! Ya que este es el ultimo post de este año decidí por un look súper relajado que refleja como es el invierno en Puerto Rico. Una de las mejores cosas de estos shorts es su estampado, está lleno de colores haciendo las opciones de como llevarlo infinitas. Me encanta como luce el contraste del estampado femenino de los shorts y lo rústico que evoca el chambray.

Ya que vivo en una isla los shorts se me hacen súper cruciales, pero no tengo otros con un estampado tan precioso como estos. Si deciden escaparse del frío por un ratito y deciden vivir la vida isleña, unos shorts con estampados completarán su look. Espero que les guste este look y los mejores deseos para el 2014.

Packing for Vieques

I'm leaving today for a weekend getaway at Vieques; it's another island that forms part of Puerto Rico and is actually another municipality. Vieques is all about the beautiful beaches and a very slow paced lifestyle. I tried to keep my packing light, you really don't need much to enjoy the beach and slow paced nights. I'll post picts of the trip when I get back! Hope you all have a nice weekend!

Weekend Getaway to Culebra

Last minute trips are always the best, I don't know if it's because you actually don't plan anything, don't have any expectations or just the fact of spontaneous makes it that more special... My weekend was exactly that... at last minute my boyfriend and I decided to take up the offer of going Culebra with his sister and her husband, and thank god we did. Culebra is an arid municipality of Puerto Rico and has one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Flamenco. Needless to say,we stayed at an amazing house with amazing views. For an entire weekend of Island living at its best you just need swimsuits, cover ups, sandals, great shades, some key accessories and great company. 

For this post I chose an oversized creme blouse and added this leather Michael Kors belt to add some color and texture, not just have a flowy cover up. These sandals have gone with me to so many trips that I had to bring them; they're perfect for casual day's because they add color to any look.  I really hope you enjoy the pictures! Let me know what you think about this amazing scenery and the look!
