Look of the Day: Essentially Seattle

I am so behind with my blogger duties, and with the unofficial end of summer already here, the pressure to get caught up has only gotten worst. So bear with me my friends as I attempt to keep up with sharing my summer adventures with you.

As you may already know, during my stay in Vancouver, I took a quick weekend trip down to the Emerald City a.k.a Seattle. One of my closest cousins (funny fact: I happen to have around 50 first cousins!) lives in this gorgeous city with her husband and kids, so this trip was more about spending time with family than exploring. Nevertheless, we managed to do a quick tour of some of Seattle’s must-sees, like the Space Needle and Pike Market. Luckily, Luzma (my cousin) has no problem being around a camera, in fact she’s awesome posing for it, but this time she volunteered to be behind mine to help me shoot a Look of the Day.

I am so happy to finally get to feature my beloved cognac backpack here on the blog, which I bought especially for my summer travels. I had been wanting a 90’s style backpack for a while, and this studded one from Aldo was love at first sight. It has been my loyal companion for the past 2 months, and I foresee us living happily together for many years to come.

Look of the Day: Good Ol’ Faithful

Do you have an item in your closet that you consider your soulmate when it comes to fashion? I do! It is this lovely floral dress that I’ve had for 6 years now. It is my good ol’ faithful dress of choice during the summer, I practically live in it! It is the epitome of perfection in my eyes: the print, the colors, the shape, the sleeves; it is by far the most flattering and most comfortable dress I own. Not too sound overdramatic, but I get seriously distressed just thinking of the day it gets too old to wear. I have even considered taking it to a seamstress to duplicate in many different colors, but at the end of the day I kind of feel like it’s irreplaceable. So I guess I’ll just enjoy it while I can and, fingers crossed, there will be many more summers to share together.

Shoes: Aldo – Sunnies: Valentino

Tienen algún artículo en su closet que consideren su alma gemela en cuanto a moda? Yo sí! Es este lindo vestido floreado que tengo desde hace 6 años. Durante el verano es mi elección de vestido que no me falla, ma la vivo en él! Es la epítome de perfección ante mis ojos: el estampado, los colores, la hechura, las mangas; es por mucho el vestido más favorecedor y más cómodo que tengo. No quiero sonar muy dramática, pero de verdad me angustia pensar en el día que este muy viejo para ponérmelo. Hasta he considerado llevarlo con una costurera y que lo duplique en todos los colores, pero en el fondo siento que es irremplazable. Así que no me queda mas que disfrutarlo mientras pueda y cruzar los dedos por que nos queden muchos más veranos por compartir juntos.

Look of the Day: Maxi Summer

Maxi dress + chambray shirt + belted waist = perfect summer combo. Do I need to say more?

Un vestido largo + camisa de mezclilla + un cinto a la cintura = una combinación perfecta de verano. Necesito decir más?
