Look of the Day: Good Ol’ Faithful

Posted on by

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.

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.

Oscars 2013

You didn’t think I was going to skip listing my favorite dresses at the Oscars, did you? I was really excited to see tons of pretty dresses and celebrities looking their best this past Sunday, granted there were also a couple disappointments, but I rather focus on the positive. So here I bring you my top 5, which was actually quite difficult to narrow down since I really had favorites beyond this list, but let’s keep it short and simple, shall we?

#5

I adored this Dior dress on Charlize Theron, which was a bit surprising even to myself because the dress it’s reminiscing of the Chanel dress Anne Hathaway wore to the Golden Globes this year and of Kate Hudson’s Marchesa dress at the Golden Globes 2010. Nevertheless, Ms. Theron really makes this look her own and kills it. Maybe it has something to do with her edgy pixie cut, but it just wowed me.

#4

This Valentino worn by Sally Field is one of my favorites, not only because the dress is gorgeous, feminine and very elegant on its own, but also because she proves that fashion and pretty dresses are ageless. One usually associates older women with wearing darker colors and more matronly designs, but that doesn’t have to always be the case, so thank you Sally Field for proving it.

#3

Someone else proving fashion, color and design can be ageless when done right is admirable Jane Fonda. I loved her bold choice with this Versace dress, and beyond that, do I need to say more? I think just looking at how amazing she looks is enough. And doesn’t she seem to be ageless as well? I mean look at that ridiculously body! She must be hiding the fountain of youth somewhere, seriously.

#2

This dress represents two of my favorite trends on the red carpet lately: sparkle and metallics. Naeem Khan really hit it out of the park with this exquisite design, and Stacy Keibler looks like she was made for it. A perfect pairing indeed.

#1

I know what you might be thinking, my choices for #2 and #1 seem a bit redundant with all the sparkle and gun metal color, but I just loved them both so much, I just couldn’t cut one out of my list. However I picked Naomi Watts’ Armani Privé as my number one choice because to make all those sequins and that shoulder cut-out look as if they were painted on her, it takes a real haute couture master as Mr. Giorgio Armani.

There you have it, my top 5. Now, who were your favorite at the Oscars? Please share!

Look of the Day: In(vest)ed

It’s finally Friday,  which I would usually be pretty happy about, except I have a crazy busy weekend coming up, and not socially busy but work busy, so I’m not really feeling the Friday spirit today.  Next Friday is looking more promising for me though, since I’ll be leaving for Los Cabos, Mexico the very next day. It happens to be a work trip, but it’s Cabo baby! I’ve never been to Cabo before, and luckily I’ll have plenty of time of my own to enjoy some of what it has to offer, so definitely excited about that. Also, as a bonus, one of my bff’s happens to live there, and though we stay in touch often and are still very close, I haven’t actually seen her in years. So altogether, I just can’t wait for this trip to happen.

Moving on to today’s look, it is the last outfit I shot last weekend, and I think I’m definitely going to try to keep doing this “shoot all outfits on weekends” thing, whether I’m actually wearing them out or not, because my social life is not active enough to keep up the blog’s content all on its own. So, about today’s outfit, I just gotta say I’m not big on wearing jeans (interesting choice of words since the reason is I feel too big when wearing jeans, ha!), as a matter of fact I’m not a fan of wearing pants in general. Maybe it’s just a crazy idea of mine, but I feel more comfortable and flattered by skirts and dresses. However, winter is quickly approaching and as much as I try to hold on to my skirts and dresses by wearing tights, eventually the weather will win the battle and I’ll be wearing jeans and pants most of the time. So, I decided to do an outfit wearing jeans as part of trying to get mentally prepared for the wardrobe adjustments I’ll have to make sooner rather than later.

Now, one of my favorite things about this outfit is this fabulous silk vest I scored for next to nothing at Banana Republic last year. The vest itself is fabulous, although I’m not sure is quite as fabulous on me, but I love it too much to care. I have tried wearing it belted before hoping that makes it better, yet it’s still debatable. I guess I’ll just have to show you the belted version some time soon so you can decide which way it looks better on me.

The studded clutch I got about 4 years ago and I have gotten quite some mileage out of it. I have always loved it because it gives just a little extra something, a wink-wink, to my usually conservative outfits.  However, this year I’m even more excited to keep strutting it around after seeing the fall/winter accessories collection from Valentino, it is full of studs! Glad this trend isn’t going anywhere just yet, we all need a little bit of rock’n’roll in our lives, right?

Wishing you guys a fantastic weekend.
