Look of the Day: Everyday

Spring is just around the corner, and though most fashionistas out there can’t wait to start rocking their spring/summer ensembles, I on the other hand am a little bit bummed about not getting that much of a chance to wear my coats and boots. Winters might get colder than you’d think in the desert, but they are very short lived.
And speaking of boots, I’ve had this pair for 7 years and have worn them every single winter. I can even get a little melancholic when thinking about items that have been staples in my wardrobe for years, and to think of all the moments in my life they’ve been a part of.
Anyway, this outfit is very much me. In fact, you could even call it my “uniform”. No matter what season, you’ll very often find me in this kind of skirt with a simple top and a major necklace. Just add weather appropriate footwear (boots, sandals, heels), a belt if I want to look more put-together, and that’s it. Comfortable, flattering and easy…doesn’t get any better than that.
Now tell me, do you have a personal style “uniform”? What is it? Please share!

La primavera ya está a la vuelta de la esquina, y aunque la mayoría de las fashionistas allá afuera no pueden esperar para empezar a lucir sus mejores atuendos de esta temporada, yo por mi parte no estoy tan contenta de tener tan poca oportunidad de usar mis abrigos y botas. El invierno en el desierto podrá ser más frío de lo que imaginan, pero es muy corto.
Y hablando de botas, este par lo tengo hace 7 años, y las he utilizado cada invierno. Hasta me puedo poner un poco melancólica pensando en las cosas que se han sido parte de mi guardarropa por años, y de pensar en todos los momentos de mi vida en que me han acompañado.
En fin, este outfit es muy yo. De hecho hasta podría decirse que es mi “uniforme”. Sin importar la temporada, muy seguido me pueden encontrar vistiendo una falda de este tipo con una playera sencilla, y un gran collar. Sólo agreguen calzado de acuerdo al clima (botas, sandalias, tacones), un cinturón si quiero verme más arreglada, y listo. Cómodo, halagador y fácil…nada mejor que eso.
Ahora ustedes, tienen algún “uniforme” de su estilo personal? Cuál? Cuéntenme!

Look of the Day: Casual Friday

TGI Friday!! And today I bring you a casual yet put-together look, one you don’t even have to think about, you just throw it on and you’re out the door. Isn’t it what we all want, to be able to look good and put-together without putting a lot of time into it?
The best way to achieve that is to mix some classic pieces and add a few accents. When it comes to classic pieces, it almost doesn’t get any more classic than blue jeans, white tee and the iconic trench coat. For accents, red is always a great option because it adds impact and color. So, besides red patent heels, I added a trendy red bubble necklace to make the look more modern. Meanwhile, the snake print handbag stays within the color palette of the outfit without being too matchy matchy and boring. Finally, red lips are all I need on days of hardly wearing any makeup.
I hope you guys are loving this look as much as I am. Wishing you a lovely weekend my darlings!

Por fin es viernes!! Y hoy les traigo un look casual pero bien arreglado, uno que no requiere pensarlo mucho, sólo se lo echan encima y listo! No es eso lo que tod@s queremos, poder vernos bien y arregladit@s sin tener que invertirle mucho tiempo?
La mejor manera de conseguir tal cosa es mezclar piezas clásicas y agregar algunos acentos. Y cuando se trata de piezas clásicas, casi no hay nada más clásico que unos jeans, camiseta blanca y abrigo trench. En cuanto a acentos, el rojo siempre es una gran opción porque añade impacto y color. Así que además de unos zapatos de charol rojo, agregué un trendy collar de burbujas para hacer el look más moderno. Mientras que la bolsa con estampado de víbora está dentro de la paleta de colores del outfit sin ser demasiado combinada y aburrida. Por último, labios rojos es lo único que necesito en los días en los que uso muy poco maquillaje.
Espero que les haya encantado este look tanto como a mí. Les deseo un lindo fin de semana mis adorad@s!

Newbies

I know I’ve been kind of absent from the blog this week, but things have been a little crazy (as in psycho-crazy!) for me lately. However, I’m ecstatic that it’s finally Friday, and I promise to try really hard to work on some new content this weekend.
I am also very excited to start receiving some packages with a few items I purchased online this week. I’ve been on a real shopping craze for the past 6 weeks or so, and besides waiting to receive some new things in the mail, I have a few new things at home I bought weeks ago that I haven’t worn yet.
So stay tuned to find out how I’ll be styling some of this new babies soon. I won’t show you everything I’ve bought… There is one item in particular I am dyyyyyiiing to show you, but I’ll wait until it’s properly styled to make its debut on the blog (it happens to be a fall item and it’s still too damn hot to wear in this city, so bear with me on the wait)… But here are a few I can share with you for now. I am really excited about the cognac crossbody bag, I had been searching for one for a while; the black shoes are practically flats, and I would’ve liked them to be a little higher, but still happy with them; the two pair of heels are waiting for me at home right now and I can’t wait to get home and greet them; the skirt and nude clutch should be in next week, and the statement necklace may have to wait a couple of weeks to be in my hands. The best part is I got excellent deals on all the items. What do you think? Do you have a favorite item from this list?
