Holiday Style

Well... I'm back! After a long Thanksgiving trip, visiting family over at Austin (which is amazing!!!), I'm back and super excited to share ideas and style tips for the holidays!

One of the things I'm most excited about these holidays, in terms of fashion, has to be delicate embroidered work and embellishment. I love the sophisticated touch it gives. I created this look for an article I wrote about holiday fashion and it was mostly done around the idea of understated beauty and bringing sophistication back. The top and the shoes work as the neutral part to balance the look out and let the skirt and accessories stand out.

This entire look carries a huge price tag, which can be thought of as the result of going for a super sophisticated look, but it really doesn't have to be like this. You have a couple of options... splurge on one item and keep the others more budget friendly, or go for a look that has this essence without the designer labels, like the one below. My favorite piece from the second look has to be the belt, you could actually go for any dress, skirt or pants you already have in your closet and give them new life with an amazing belt like this one. Hope you like these looks!

Let me know!

Y... estoy de vuelta. Después de unas vacaciones en Austin (cual me encantó) visitando familia, estoy aquí y súper emocionada de compartir con ustedes ideas y tips para la época navideña.

Uno de los trends que estoy loca por usar estas navidades tiene que ser el bordado en pedrerías, me encanta el toque sofisticado que añade. Trabajé este look para un artículo que escribí sobre moda navideña, el mismo estaba centralizado en la idea de lo clásico y sofisticado. La blusa y los tacones sirven como las piezas neutrales, para así dejar que la falda y los accesorios brillen.

Es fácil pensar que un look sofisticado lleva un precio muy alto, como es con el de arriba, pero no tiene que ser así. Tenemos algunas opciones... podemos invertir en una pieza y escoger otras más accesibles, o ir por un look que tiene la esencia pero no las marcas de diseñador, como el de abajo. Mi pieza favorita del segundo look es la correa, puedes usarla con un traje, pantalón o una falda que ya tienes y darle vida. ¡Espero que les guste este look!

Me dejan saber.

Xo,
Flor

City Dwelling


It's been raining nonstop lately, so when the slightest hint of sunshine decided to appear today I took advantage of it and went for a walk. I know it may look a bit out of place, wearing shorts on a rainy day, but I can't help but to feel the summer mood, I did layer this elbow length jacket to keep me warmer. Lately I haven't wanted to separate from this bag, I think it's just perfect for summer, with all the colors, and textures and the shape is amazing to fill it with everything and anything you want. The embroidery detailing on this blouse is amazing, and I love that you can dress it down for a more casual and boho-chic style. Embroidery is a great accent for summer, it's the perfect kind of simple. I really got tired of the rainy days, so I went all in for those magnificent 30 minutes or so of sunshine while walking through town. Hope you like the look!
