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.

Xo,

Flor

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.
