Look of the Day: Playing Stylist

I was just going through my iPhone pictures trying to declutter my albums a bit, when I came across this photo and realized I never shared it with you.
As you know, I love playing fashion stylist to my friends and family, and have been doing it for years. One of my favorite “clients” is my brother’s girlfriend, and I love styling her outfits. She and my brother visited me over the holidays and I also got the opportunity to play personal shopper with her. She followed my advice on several amazing pieces she bought, and here’s a little example of one of the outfits I put together for her, combining pieces she already owned and brand new ones. I gotta say, I love the result!!

Justo estaba checando las fotos de mi iPhone para tratar de hacer limpia, cuando me encontré con esta foto y capté que nunca la compartí con ustedes.
Como ya saben, me encanta hacerla de consultora de moda de mi familia y amigas, y tengo años haciéndolo. Una de mis “clientas” favoritas es la novia fe mi hermano, y me encanta armarle outfits. Ella y mi hermano me visitaron n diciembre así que también tuve la oportunidad de hacerla de su ‘personal shopper’. Siguió mis consejos en varias ocasiones y se compró unas piezas maravillosas, y aquí está un pequeño ejemplo de uno de los outfits que le armé, utilizando tanto piezas que ella ya tenía como un par de las nuevas. Tengo que decir que el resultado me encantó!!

Golden Globes 2013

I’m sure you have seen plenty about this year’s Golden Globes dresses already, but I figured I would share my favorites with you. I liked a lot of dresses in this red carpet, so it was hard to pick a top 5, but here you go:

#5

I love this Jenny Packham dress, not only is it perfect to show a growing baby bump, but I actually would’ve liked it even in someone not pregnant as well. It is simply beautiful.

#4

I know this look is one of those that could easily be on the fence about whether it is sexy or tacky, but to me is purely sexy. I think it was styled to perfection from head to toe, paired with the right shoes, accessories, hair and make up. However, the real difference between sexy and tacky possibly lies in the way it was carried, and Katherine McPhee definitely did it with class and sophistication.

#3

I am obsessed with Rosie Huntington Whiteley’s style, from her street style to her looks on the red carpet, she just never disappoints. And considering I am also obsessed with bow tied apparel, whether it’s lovely blouses or  flowy dresses, what can I say? I just couldn’t resist adding this Saint Laurent dress to my list.

#2

I wasn’t sure about adding this look to my list just because it was so annoyingly predictable, but the gown is daringly beautiful in that way that Zuhair Murad has perfected so well. Plus nobody could possibly wear it better than Jennifer Lopez and her equally daring curves,  so there you have it, hats off to both J.Lo and the designer.

#1

It had to be Alexander McQueen!! Hands down my favorite look on the red carpet. It is simple and ornate at the same time, covered with just the right amount of sexiness, classic yet modern… it is just perfect. Also, I loved that it is quite a different look for Kate Hudson’s usually boho chic style, and since I love surprises, this fashion turn in her repertoire is definitely a happy surprise for me.

Now, which looks were you favorites  at this year’s Golden Globes? Please share, I would love to know!!

Fashion Fairytale Fantasy. Part II

Here I bring you the rest of the pictures from my photo shoot with my talented friend Viviana.

It’s a slight variation of the same outfit, I just switched the denim vest for a biker leather one, and I love the contrast of the soft tulle skirt against the tough leather; not two pieces you would normally think of pairing, but somehow it works, at least in my book. In fact, I think this is my favorite version of this outfit… what do you think? Which one is your favorite? Do you prefer the simple gray tee and skirt, or gray tee plus denim vest and skirt, or gray tee plus biker leather vest and the skirt?

I hope you are having a great week and that your 2013 is off to a good start!

Aquí les traigo el resto de las fotos de la sesión que tuve con mi talentosa amiga Viviana.

Es una pequeña variación del mismo outfit, sólo cambié el chaleco de mezclilla por uno de piel estilo biker, y me encanta el contraste entre la suavidad del tul y la dureza del chaleco de piel; no son dos piezas que uno normalmente piense en combinar, pero de alguna manera funciona, al menos para mí. De hecho, creo que esta es mi versión favorita de este outfit… ustedes qué piensan? Cuál es su favorita? Prefieren solo la simple camiseta gris con la falda, o la camiseta gris mas el chaleco de mezclilla y la falda, o la camiseta gris mas el chaleco de piel y la falda?

Espero que estén teniendo una gran semana y que su 2013 esté empezando de la mejor manera!
