Casual With An Edge

Finally! I hate that I'm not posting as frequently as I use to, but it'll be back to normal as soon as I get use to my new schedule. Obviously these pictures were taken while I was still in Puerto Rico, hence warm weather! I've never been looking so forward to Spring as I am right no, it's definitely easy to take seasons for granted when you live in the tropics.

 Anyway back to the look, I love simple casual wear, but I always try to take it up a notch. For this look I decided to add these sandals and a leather envelope, I really love how the envelope adds a bit of an edge to the look. The white skinny jeans were a great way to highlight the lighter tones of the blouse, giving it a more relaxed vibe. Hope you like this look! 

Let me know what you think!

¡Por fin estoy posteando! Con este horario nuevo no he podido escribir casi, pero ya pronto me acostumbro y vuelvo a la normalidad. Estas fotos las tomamos cuando todavía estaba en Puerto Rico, me he dado cuenta que nunca había estado esperando tanto la primavera como lo hago aquí, definitivamente estaba muy mal acostumbrada. 

Me encanta los looks casuales y simples, pero siempre trato de añadirle un toque diferente. Para este look decidí añadirle estas sandalias en color neutral y un sobre de cuero, de verdad que me encanta como el sobre de cuero le añade un poco de "edge" al look. Escogí estos mahones blanco para resaltar los tonos claros de la blusa y así darle una vibra más relajada. Espero que les guste este look.

Me dejan saber.

Character

Finally, I can say that today was a cooler day, but it did have its tradeoffs, at about 7:30 AM it was already beginning to rain. Even though it was a pretty gloomy day I have to say that with this type of weather was the only way I could have pulled of a skinny jeans look. I chose this really simple blouse, which is actually a great piece for summer because of its versatility, it will look well with shorts, but it will also look great with a dressier skirt. I've learned with time that when it rains it's sometimes better to be walking in high heels because you don't get your toes or shoes wet as you would with ballet flats, so these cut out booties were the perfect selection. I love simple looks that have character, but aren't over the top and that's really the best choice for gloomy days.Hope you like this look.

Let me know what you think.

I love doing the black & white combination, it can be so simple and say so much at the same time. The first time I wore this t-shirt I decided to play with the sketch detail and combined it with a striped A-line skirt for a super bold look (here), today I went for a more simple look and paired it with these skinny black jeans. I added this cover up for the unexpected twist it gave the look, it gave it a really feminine touch with its flowyness, cinched waist and beige old rose color. I love outfits that come across as simple, but well though of at the same time, this is a perfect example of what could've been just a jeans and t-shirt look taken 1000 notches up with this clever cover up. I like pairing my skinny black jeans with these booties or any black pumps because it elongates the figure, making you look like you have these amazing mile long legs.  Hope you liked the post!

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!
