Bidding Adieu to Summer Days

I'm back in New York, and like everyone I'm trying to find that balance between school, work and the blog, the first two have obviously taken most of my time, but I'm back! This weekend made one thing obvious, Fall has definitely arrived! These pictures are a couple of weeks old, so in light of colder temperatures I bid farewell to summer wear. These shorts were definitely one of my favorite things to have during Summer, their print and pop of color made them an effortless statement piece. During Summer I was really into understated everyday leather bags and it's transitioning into my Fall wear. My Huarache sandals are Ix Style, they're an amazing company that makes making a difference easy and stylish.

Hope you enjoyed this post & stay tune for what's to come!

Estoy de vuelta en Nueva York y muchos, ando buscando el balance perfecto entre mis estudios, trabajo y el blog. Definitivamente los primeros dos han tomado todo mi tiempo hasta el momento, pero ya estoy de vuelta. Este pasado fin de semana marcó la llegada de otoño. La llegada de otoño me ha hecho despedir mi ropa veraniega, haciendo este "post" en honor a mi despedida. Estos pantalones cortos fueron una de mis piezas favoritas durante el verano, su estampado y detalle colorido lo hacen fácilmente llamativos. Otro "must" de mi verano fueron bolsos simples de cuero, algo que estoy llevando para el otoño. Mis sandalias huarache son Ix Style, estoy totalmente obsesionada con estas sandalias que me permiten hacer la diferencia fácil y con estilo.

¡Espero que les guste este post y esten pendientes a todo lo que está por venir!

Versatility

When you find a blouse that you can wear with shorts and espadrilles, black skinny jeans and 5 inch pumps and with a feminine skirt and ankle tied pumps, and it looks great in all three ways... that's a keeper. I love finding pieces that are super versatile and look totally different depending in the way you style them. I wanted to go for a really feminine look, but still with a touch of laid-back style. Layering different bracelets has been my go-to lately, I opt for mixing different ones, from really thin ones to bangles for an effortless look. Hope you like this look & have a great week!

Let me know what you think!

Es todo un éxito cuando encuentras una blusa que funciona con shorts y alpargatas, skinny jeans negros y pumps altísimos y una falda de tabletas y pumps. Siempre que voy de compras busco esas piezas que sé que son súper versátiles y tienen la habilidad de verse totalmente diferentes, dependiendo de cómo las uses. Para este look, quise ir por uno muy femenino, pero con un toque casual. Desde hace un tiempo estoy mezclando varias pulseras y usándolas a la vez, las mezclo entre unas finitas y otras más grandes para balancearlo. Espero que les guste el look y que tenga una buena semana.

Feathers & Colors

Hope you all had an amazing 4th of July weekend, Summer is definitely flying by! As you all might know, I'm a huge print fan and I know that sometimes finding what to match with a bold print might be difficult. I love when I'm able to match bold prints with other prints, for this look I didn't go for a busy print, instead I matched it with this t-shirt, that I absolutely adore. The design and the tassels add interest to the look, but the shorts remain as the center piece. For a more subtle look, I could go for a white linen blouse, or a black t-shirt. For a bold look using solid colors, either turquoise or yellow would work great!

This bracelet, which is also a statement piece is handmade by a friend here in Puerto Rico and it's the perfect way to add an exotic touch to any look. 

Espero que todos hayan disfrutado del fin de semana largo, definitivamente el verano está pasando muy rápido. Los estampados son unas de mis cosas favoritas y siempre estoy buscando cómo mezclar unos con otros. Entiendo que encontrar cómo mezclarlos no siempre es fácil. Para este look me fui por una combinación más sutil, donde el estampado del pantalón sigue siendo la pieza central. Los tassels y el diseño de la t-shirt le añaden un toque diferente al total. Otra manera sutil para combinarlo podría ser con una blusa blanca de hilo o con una t-shirt negra. Para un look más llamativo, usando colores solidos podrías usar una blusa amarilla o turquesa. 

La pulsera que llevo puesta es hecha a mano aquí en Puerto Rico y es la manera perfecta para añadirle un toque exótico a cualquier look. 

¡Espero que les guste el look!

Bright Blue & Fuchsia

I've already shared with you guys my obsession with espadrilles and have to admit that I may have too many pairs (if that's ever possible) of them, but they've been my number one choice of shoe lately. Combining bright blue espadrilles with a fuchsia top might sound hard on the eyes, but the fact that the look is so laid back really makes it work and look quite effortless. My favorite way to wear short shorts is by combining it with a slightly oversized, loose top and for Summer I feel like this leather tote is the perfect combination for an ultra-summery look. What are your must for the Summer?! 

Hope you like this look!

He compartido con ustedes en varias ocasiones mi obsesión con las alpargatas y quizás deba admitir que puede que tenga demasiadas de ellas (si eso es posible), pero han sido mi zapato preferido para el verano. La idea de combinar un azul brillante con un top fucsia puede sonar un poco fuerte, pero el hecho que el look es tan laid back lo hace funcionar y fluir súper bien. Mi manera favorita de usar pantalones cortos es combinándolos con una blusa suelta y si tiene mangas largas que se pueden enrollar, mejor aún. Esta cartera súper simple de cuero ha sido otro de mis must del verano, va perfecta para cualquier ocasión. ¿Cuáles son tus must para el verano?

¡Espero que les guste el look!

A Statement Top

With 90 degree days here in Puerto Rico is tough to imagine wearing a light jacket for anything, but you might find yourself a bit chilly when the sun has already set and you're eating or having drinks near the beach. The best thing would be to have a light jacket or a shawl to throw over your shoulders and keep on. This jacket is beautifully detailed, so I really wanted it to be the statement piece of the look. The black top was the perfect backdrop for the jacket to really come alive and the skirt goes perfectly with all the colors. 

Hope you like this look!

Con los días tan calientes en Puerto Rico es difícil imaginarse ponerse un jacket para cualquier cosa, pero... si te encuentras comiendo o dándote unos drinks cerca de la playa ya cuando el sol ha caído, puede que te encuentres con una brisa. Lo ideal sería tener un jacket liviano o una estola para ponértela sobre los hombros y seguir andando. Este jacket es súper detallado y quise hacerlo el centro de atención del look, combinando con una blusa negra. El azul de la falda y de los zapatos va súper bien con todos los colores del jacket, uniéndolo todo.

¡Espero que les guste el post!

Skip Sandals This Summer

If the espadrille craze isn't enough for you to skip sandals this Summer, I'll give you another reason with these amazing leather slip-on flats. Ix Style traditional Mayan leather sandals have more going for them than just amazing style, for every pair purchased they donate clean drinking water to children. These leather slip-on flats are the ultimate summer shoe with which to create memories, they'll easily go from the beach to a walk around town, and they'll go with everything from printed shorts to a short summery dress. Unless you have really amazing sandals I would seriously recommend these leather slip-on flats as the go-to shoe for Summer!

How To Wear Them

Si la oleada de alpargatas no ha sido suficiente para que olvides las sandalias como opción numero uno  para el verano, te daré otra con estos "slip-on" de cuero. Estos "slip-on" de cuero de estilo tradicional Maya tienen mucho más que estilo, por cada par comprado Ix Style donará agua potable a niños en comunidades con escasos recursos. Estos zapatos son ideales para el verano, los puedes llevar fácilmente de la arena a dar una vuelta, los puedes llevar con pantalones cortos, o con un traje veraniego. A menos que tengas unas sandalias espectaculares, te recomiendo que olvides las sandalias tradicionales este verano y optes por estos"slip-on" de cuero.

Button Down

I've always had a huge thing for button down blouses, any type of one, solid colors, preppy styles, prints, short or long sleeves, I love them all. My favorite way of wearing them is by pairing them with shorts, but I always choose them a size up, I prefer them loose rather than fitted and I really like the way they look relax and simple. What really caught my attention about this blouse was the amazing print it has and the really deep rich colors. I love wearing platforms or sandals with shorts because they make your legs look amazing. Even though I chose platforms as my footwear, the look overall was kind of relaxed boho chic! Hope you like this look & Happy Week!

Sleek

Sometimes there's nothing like throwing a little modern & sleek to your everyday routine to spice it up. It's easy to feel extremely fierce and stylish when you're going for a modern look, and a great way to achieve it is by choosing sleek dark pieces and modern prints. These BCBG shorts have a really cool modern take on a traditional reptile print, and the color pallet makes them ideal for daytime attire as well as for nighttime. Keeping in tune with the modern style, I went very simplistic in the accessories department, layering  a gold chain with a leather and golden accent nugget necklace and choosing a leather envelope style clutch. Sandals were the perfect way to keep the look really stylish, without making it seem overdressed  or complicated for daytime. Hope you like this look!

Light Scarves

Light scarves have been one of my favorite summer items, they're a great way to accessorize, adding texture, colors and prints to your look. I've opted for switching statement necklaces for scarves during summer days, they add more interest and tend to not bother as much when its warm, and you could definitely store them in your bag and not worry about them getting tangled. I like wearing a laid back style during the day, I decided to switch my denim jeans for these green ones, which went perfectly with the scarf and paired it with a really airy eyelet top. I chose the white eyelet top because it wouldn't compete with the printed scarf, but it did add texture and interest to the look. A great leather bag is always an essential item in any closet, and a bag that won't ever be out of style. Hope you like this look!
