Made in Mexico

Había olvidado compartirles un pequeño pedazo de información que tal vez les sirva si viven en Hermosillo. Cuando tuve la sesión de fotos en Catedral y la plaza bicentenario (de la cual pueden ver los resultados aquí y aquí), una chava que andaba paseando por ahí se nos acercó para felicitarnos por el outfit y preguntar detalles acerca de él (que si era una sesión para una revista, de donde era la ropa que traia puesta, los accesorios, etc). Platicando con ella resultó que uno de sus hobbies era hacer pulseritas para vender, y nos mostró algunas que traía con ella. A mi me eeeencantaron, sobretodo porque ultimamente traigo obsesión por pulseritas delgaditas y delicadas, y no pude resistir comprarle un par. Por supuesto, ya que en la plática había salido que las fotos eran para mi blog, y que siempre publico donde compro cada pieza que uso en mis outfits, le prometí compartir su información con ustedes.
Las pulseritas cuestan $35 pesos y hay de todos colores. Yo escogí una plateada y una dorada, y las amo. Los dejo con la foto de las pulseritas y la info de su creadora.
Que tengan un lindisimo fin de semana!

I had forgotten to share a little piece of information that may come in handy for you if you happen to live in my hometown, Hermosillo, México. When I had the photoshoot there back in early January (you can see those photos here and here), a girl that was walking around the main plaza came up to those to compliment my outfit and ask details about it. In our conversation with her it turned out that one of her hobbies was making and sellong these cute little handmade braceletes, and she showed us a few that she had with her. I looooved them, especially because lately I’ve been obsessing over thin delicate bracelets, and I couldn’t help buying a couple of them from her. Of course, also in our conversation it had come up that the photos we were shooting were for my blog, and that I always share the details on where I buy everything I wear, I promised her I would share her information with you guys.
The bracelets are under $2 dollars (that’s right! A total steal) and she has them in every color. I went for a silver one and a gold one, and I love them. Here I leave you with a picture of the little bracelets, and the info of their creator.
Have a nice weekend!

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!!
