The Perfect Match


I love the contrast between this light, flowy skirt and this super cozy sweater. It's amazing that both pieces are so different, the skirt is super busy with color and print while the top is really simple and understated, but they are perfect for each other. The checkered effect, which is repeated in both of them is what really ties both pieces together. Hope you like this look!

Let me know what you think!

Me encanta el contraste entre la falda con movimiento con este sweater. Ambas piezas son muy distintas, la falda, con un estampado bien llamativo y colorido, mientras el sweater es muy simple. El efecto de cuadros en ambas piezas ata ambas, haciendo de unas muy diferentes un look ideal. Espero que les guste este look.

Me dejan saber que les parece.

Power of Print


A simple look can be turned upside down and become a show stopping one, by just choosing to add a punch, in this case... animal print. When you have such a busy piece it's ideal to go simple on the other areas, unless you find another print that compliments it. Since my pants are entirely leopard print, I decided to pair it with a white blouse to balance the look out, and kept the shoes and bag simple by going for black, which naturally, is a huge part of this print. How do you style your animal print pieces? Hope you like this look. 

Let me know what you think!

Puedes girar un look totalmente simple a uno super diferente, escogiendo darle un toque especial al mismo, en este caso eso es el "animal print". Es ideal que cuando tienes una pieza tan llamativa escojas complementarla con otras más simple, con la excepción de un estampado que lo complemente. Como mis pantalones son de print de leopardo por completo decidí usar una blusa blanca para balancear el look, me fui por unos zapatos y cartera simple, escogiendo el negro ya que es un elemento fundamental de este estampado. ¿Cómo llevan ustedes los estampados? Espero que les guste este look.

Me dejan saber que les parece.

Ripped & Dressed



A great pair of jeans can be one of the most important pieces in any closet, they can be the base for a super simple and casual look or for a more edgy and dressed up look. I know how hard it can be to find an incredible pair of jeans, personally, for me, it's one of the hardest things to shop for, but they're worth it. For this look I decided to dress up my ripped jeans with this blouse, (also worn here), black booties and of course, great red lips! How do you dress up your jeans? 

Let me know!

Un par de mahones que te queden perfectos, pueden ser una de las piezas más cruciales en tu armario. Son súper versátiles, pueden ser la base para un look súper relax y casual o para uno más edgy y formal. Sé lo difícil que puede ser conseguir ese par ideal, personalmente, los mahones son lo más difícil que se me hace conseguir, pero valen la pena. Para este look decidí vestir más mis mahones, con esta blusa (vista aquí también), botitas negras, y pues claro, unos labios rojos. ¿Cómo hacen ustedes para vestir más sus mahones?


¡Me dejan saber!

Fierce Print


I always thought that these type of blouses were reserved for the office only, I had this preconceived idea that they were too boring and stiff to be worn anywhere else, but obviously I learned, that this is not so. This blouse for example, looks anything but boring, it's made of a softer material which helps it look more versatile and it has a super modern and eye catching print. Pairing it with this bright orange skirt brought more life to the look and the platforms gave for a more casual and friendly look. Button-down blouses have become a staple in my closet, knowing how to take advantage of their versatile nature opens up a lot of styling options. There are always really business attire oriented ones, but finding ones with a great print, bright colors or modern fit will be perfect to style up or down. I can definitely see myself styling this blouse with black denim shorts for a super casual look or with sleek pants for a more office friendly version. Hope you like this look!

Let me know what you think!

All About The Shorts


There's nothing better than wearing easy, flowly looks during these summer days. I've worn these shorts a couple of times before, but I really keep going to them when I want to feel cool and still look stylish/polished. Shorts like these are always a great piece to have in your closet, you can switch your go-to denim shorts for them or dress them up with a great pair of sandals, and they will always up your look a couple of notches. When it comes to shorts, I'm seriously obsessed with printed ones, I just think that having a great print give them an entirely different vibe. I kept my top on a neutral shade, so the print would be the primordial aspect of the look, but the flowyness of the shirt gave a relaxed feeling to the look, and the rolled up sleeves gave it an even more casual, simple touch. I haven't been to keen on the idea of separating my new bag from my everyday life, but I'll be switching it soon. Hope you like this look!

Mixing It With Grey


Lately I've been really into experimenting with grey, I used to think that it was a pretty boring color, but  it really has a huge potential. You can match grey with yellow, purple and bright green for a really refreshing and fun look, go more traditional with white or try grey on grey like I did. This look really came out great because of the mixing between the shades of grey and the added visual interest from the print on the blouse. The necklace was the key finishing ingredient, it added a huge tribal flair that tied in perfectly with the blouse. Grey no longer is a boring color in my book and it's ability to be mixed with a variety of colors makes it perfect for every season.  Hope you liked this look!

Let me know!

Blues & Whites


My parents bought this blouse in St. Thomas over  30 years ago and luckily for me my mom kept it and I happily took ownership of it! Its a bit big on me, but I absolutely love the batik print it has and the different tones of blue. The contrast of the tight skinny jeans with the loose blouse works wonders for an effortless look. I rolled up the sleeves not only for functional reasons ( so they wouldn't reach my elbows), but it adds to the beachy laid back look. For everyday looks I really prefer effortless styles, you know, you can really be yourself when you feel comfortable with what your wearing. I think it's a note to self to store things we really, really like, even though we don't wear them anymore... who knows you could pass it down to your children. Hope you liked the post! Let me know!

Graphic Print


Who said you can't look put together in shorts? I've never been one to think that shorts only work for a day at the beach, I think they work anytime you want them to. Usually, I try to find shorts that have a great print, don't get me wrong i love all shorts, but printed ones are my favorite. With this look I wanted to play with the graphic snake skin print and went for a safarish inspired look, using neutral tones and the big studded leather bag. Layering always adds interest and texture to a look, so I added this jacket which contrast well with the soft flowiness of the blouse. Dressing up shorts is really simple, just switch the t-shirt for a flowy blouse and add some sandals or platforms and you've got a super chic laid back look. Hope you like the look! Let me know!
