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!

 

 

Fashion Fairytale Fantasy. Part I

If you are a girly girl like me, then you have probably at some point in your life dreamed about wearing a tulle skirt for a day around town,  feeling like either a fairytale princess or, in my case,  like Carrie Bradshaw. Well, that dream finally came true for me last week and I enjoyed every second of it. What’s even better is that my friend Viviana and her marvelous skills as a photographer were there to capture it all.

I had so much fun doing this photo shoot with her, back in my hometown. We went to the Cathedral and the main town plaza, where people were so sweet and encouraging with their comments about the outfit,  which made it even easier to just let our creative juices flow. The results, in my humble opinion, are fantastic. But I’ll let you judge them for yourselves.

Many pictures turn out from this shoot (more prove of how talented my friend is!) so I am posting some of them here today, and the rest you can come back and check out tomorrow (some of my favorites from the shoot will be posted then so definitely come back to check them out).

Of course I can’t end this post without giving a big fat thanks to Viviana for agreeing to this collaboration, and for making the experience of it so wonderful. Hopefully, we get to do it again soon!

Now, I leave you with the pictures, and don’t forget to leave your comments.

Si eres una chica que disfruta de los looks femeninos y románticos como yo, entonces seguramente en algún momento de tu vida has soñado con lucir una falda de tul que te haga sentir como una princesa de cuento de hadas o, en mi caso, como Carrie Bradshaw.  Pues qué creen? Ese sueño por fin se convirtió en realidad para mí la semana pasada, y lo disfruté hasta el último segundo. Lo mejor de todo es que mi amiga Viviana y sus maravillosas habilidades como fotógrafa estuvieron ahí para capturarlo todo.

Me divertí muchísimo haciendo esta sesión de fotos con ella en la ciudad en la que crecí. Fuimos a la Catedral y a la plaza principal, donde la gente se portó lindísima con sus comentarios sobre el outfit, lo cual ayudó a que dejáramos fluir nuestros jugos creativos.  Los resultados, en mi humilde opinión, son fantásticos.  Pero los dejaré que juzguen por sí mismos.

Muchas fotos salieron de esta sesión (una prueba más del talento de mi amiga!) así que estoy publicando unas aquí hoy, y el resto las publicaré mañana así que no dejen de regresar a checarlas (algunas de mis favoritas están entre esas que publicaré mañana!).

Por supuesto no me puedo despedir sin antes darle un millón de gracias a Viviana por aceptar hacer esta colaboración, y por hacerla una experiencia tan linda. Espero que se repita pronto!

Ahora sí, los dejo con las fotos, y no olviden dejarme sus comentarios.
