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!!

Look of the Day: Cowboy-ish

So, when you think of a leather+denim combo, I’m sure John Wayne comes to mind, but you might be surprised to realize you can also achieve a more sophisticated look using that exact same combo. Here I present you my results experimenting with it, and I am really happy with how the whole outfit came out.

By the way, this leather skirt is one of the items I had been dying to show you (as I had previously mentioned on this post), and finally I get a chance to do it now that the weather is allowing. I had been dreaming about owning a leather skirt for years (literally!), but usually they come in the form of pencil skirts which are not really flattering on me. Then, last year I bought a faux leather version similar to this one at H&M, but after trying it a few times, decided to return it as it had some pleats that also weren’t very flattering on me. So I was beyond ecstatic to find this gem at bebe a couple of months ago. I am completely in love with it and already have a million outfits planned for it, I’ll probably live in it this winter.

What do you think about a leather+denim combo? Would you wear it? Are you planning to wear any leather items this season? Please share!

Wishing you a lovely weekend darlings :)

Look of the Day: New York State of Mind…

After seeing the damage left behind in New York by hurricane Sandy, I’ve found myself in a New York state of mind more than ever. It’s no secret that I love New York, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been devastated by this disaster. And thinking of New York is that I decided to take pictures of this outfit. I had originally planned to wear this look in NY back in September, but the weather was too hot for it. Luckily the weather here in Arizona has finally cooled down, so it seemed like a good time to wear it.

This look it’s a bit business-y and serious, so I decided to spice it up a bit with some sexy platforms. What do you think? I hope you like it as much as I do.

Wishing you darlings a wonderful week!
