Making It Feel Like Spring


I'm still pretty new at this whole thing of seasons changing, I had always heard that Puerto Rico has yearlong summer weather.... totally understand it now. I'm sure I share with everyone my yearning for warmer days since Spring seems to be making us wait for her presence. I guess the best way to fill the streets and our lives with the slowly but surely arrival of Spring is by filling our houses/apts/rooms with beautiful flowers and adding much needed color to our looks. 

Yellow is one of biggest colors for Springs and I'm totally obsessed with it right now. It's definitely a feel good color and it makes a great entrance. Pastels are always perfect for Spring, so matching this bright yellow skirt with this lilac top will perfectly balance the look and make it super feminine. I went for this Loeffler Randall bag in a mint color which looks great with both lilac and yellow, the black detailing is the perfect way to integrate the black sandals, and tie everything together. Oversized sunglasses are always my favorite, and I think we can all agree that Tom Ford makes some of the best out there. 

So... maybe it still doesn't really feel like Spring, but there are some flowers blooming around, so lets just pretend it really feels like Spring until it arrives!

Hope you like this look!

Todavía soy muy novata para todo esto del cambio de temporadas, siempre había escuchado como en Puerto Rico tenemos temporada de verano todo el año... ahora lo entiendo. Estoy segura que mucha gente comparte el mismo anhelo por un poco de calor y días soleados que yo. Definitivamente la Primavera nos está haciendo esperar por su presencia y la mejor manera de llenarnos de colores y ese sentimiento es llenando nuestras casas/apartamentos/cuartos de flores y añadiéndole color a nuestros vestidos. 

El amarillo es un de los colores más populares para la primavera y yo estoy loca con el. Es uno de esos colores que automáticamente te hacen sentir bien y hay que decir que harás tremenda entrada con el. Los colores pasteles son un clásico para la Primavera, y esta blusa en lila es el balance perfecto para este amarillo tan brillante. Escogí esta cartera color menta ya que va muy bien com ambos colores y los detalles negros en ella atan las sandalias de tacones perfectamente al look. 

Pues... todavía no se siente tantísimo como Primavera pero hay flores floreciendo, así que deberíamos actuar como si ya llego mientras tanto.

¡Espero que les guste el look!

The Perfect Bag



If there's any summer essential item that every woman should have, it's a bag you can take from anywhere to anywhere. Case in point... this canvas tote, it's casual and polished at the same time and it'll look great with a cute summer dress, jeans or shorts and work as the perfect beach tote carrying all your essentials. This tote is really classy, but extremely versatile, it'll look great with the most traditional dresser to the bohemian/surfer dresser and everything in between. I chose this tote because of its slim shape and detachable strap, I've been victim of the too big and too clumsy bags or the ones with really uncomfortable handles. Since this bag has many uses I pulled two different looks for different occasions with the same bag, hope you like them!
Denim and canvas look amazing together, so it was a no brainer to match them for this look. I went for a very casual afternoon style, probably for a weekend of vintage shopping. I loved these Tory Burch loafers and the contrast they have with the more traditional bag and blouse, the detailing on the shorts also help add some spice to the complete look. Combining different styles is always a good idea, and these pieces all have a relaxed and easy going nature in common.


I'm crazy over this mini-pineapple J.Crew bikini, it's super fun and kind of unexpected! This bag is perfect for the beach, you can fit a sarong, shades, sunblock, magazines or books inside while still looking like a pro beach goer, someone that gets their tan on every day and knows not to overpack. I really didn't want to hide the bikini, so I went for a sarong so you could still see the top and appreciate the pineapple print. You can transition from the sand to a nice beachside restaurant without having to switch from an oversized beach tote to a handbag with this one, and it will look great with a maxi or short dress.

Let me know what you think!
