By The Beach

There's a style that comes natural to all of us, to me, it's a really casual and laid back style, where shorts are a must. Denim and white is one of those combinations that's timeless and it looks amazing regardless of your style of choice, either if its modern or laid back. I'm not a huge fan of using statement jewelry when going to the beach, but these wood beaded necklaces are light and the tassels add a great effortless and ethnic touch to the look, plus I'm a fan of anything with tassels. The beach is one of my favorite places to be in, and I love having the opportunity of sharing the amazing one's we have in Puerto Rico with you guys! 

Hope you like this post!

Todos tenemos ese estilo que nos viene natural, el mío es uno casual con un toque bohemian, donde los shorts son muy necesarios. La combinación de mahón y blanco es clásica y se ve súper bien sin importar el estilo de vestir, ya sea uno moderno o uno bien casual. No soy la más fanática de usar prendas llamativas cuando voy a la playa, pero estos collares de cuentas de madera son bien livianos y los tassels le añaden un toque étnico al look. Uno de mis sitios favoritos es la playa y me encanta tener la oportunidad de compartir con ustedes las playas súper bonitas que tenemos en Puerto Rico.

¡Espero que les guste este post!

Beach Style

I find scarves to have some of the most beautiful prints and colors, so I'm always trying to find a different way to use them, besides the traditional around your neck or bag. I wore this to go to the beach earlier in the week; I wanted to wear something different, not your usual cover-up and thought this would be a great idea. A belt is a must to be able to achieve the blouse look with the scarf, I prefer to use a thin belt, so it maintains that laid back appearance. The bright colors of the scarf made it perfect for a beach look and I just added this white clutch to literally take the look from the sand to a restaurant for an early dinner. Hope you like this look!

Siempre he pensando que los "scarves" tienen los estampados y colores más bonitos de todas las piezas de ropa que podemos usar, por lo que siempre ando tratando de encontrar formas nuevas de usarlos. Usé este "scarf" como blusa para ir a la playa durante la semana; quería usar algo diferente a los "cover ups" tradicionales. El cinturón es totalmente necesario para poder lograr el look de una blusa. Prefiero usar un cinturón finito para un look de playa, uno ancho le da un toque más formal al look. El estampado y los colores brillante hicieron el "scarf" perfecto para un look de playa, solo le tuve que añadir una cartera para llevarlo de la playa a un restaurante. ¡Espero que les guste este post!

¡Me dejan saber!

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.

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!

Labor Day Weekend Essentials

Happy Labor Day weekend! I'm sure everyone is super excited about this long weekend and probably have different plans, from just relaxing in your house after a long week at work to others planning to hit the beaches or hiking trips. These are some of my ideas for this long weekend! First of all I have to communicate my admiration for this Jason Wu piece, I'm not sure if I would dare wear these super short shorts on a regular day, but I would surely wear them for the beach or for a quick lunch near the beach, with the excuse that they are a beach cover up, but they are truly beautiful! 

I found this mouthwatering image on Pinterest, and was able to track down its recipe! It's definitely on my to-do list for this long weekend, it's the perfect main course for a brunch and it'll be a hit if your with your little ones or friends. 

This sunset picture of Rincon, P.R. pretty much summarizes what I want my weekend to be. There's never a doubt in my mind to what beach I prefer to go every time I go to one. I picked out my essentials for this relaxing weekend, and you can see by the choices that it's a no fuss, super simple look. A bright bikini is always a must at the beach and if you've been able to get a tan during this summer it's the best way to show it off! Huge hats are always really important to me, even though I love getting a tan, I hate to  burn my face. I always try to have a great book with me at the beach and they're usually business related, my mom read this one and highly recommended it! Hope you like this post & enjoy your weekend!

Island Living

Island living has many perks, the beautiful beaches is definitely one of them. My mom and I have been unknowingly collecting sarongs for many years, I say unknowingly because it hasn't been intentional, whenever we travel and find them we buy them, and that's besides the ones we buy here. I can't think of a more crucial summer must have, their prints and colors are intoxicating, and they have such an exotic vibe to them. The best part of sarongs is that you can wear them in so many ways, I wore it as a long skirt with this short blouse, but you can also wear them as a dress or even as pants. You don't necessarily need to travel to find them, this one is actually from Lucky Brand and it looks super different and exotic, but if you get the chance to buy a hand painted one, that's a keeper!

Let me know what you think!
