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!

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?

Look of the Day: Styling Session (Part 2)

Lo prometido es deuda, which is a common saying in Spanish that translates to “What’s promised is (becomes) a debt”, so here are the pictures I owe you from my styling session with Ann.

The next outfit includes another piece she has never worn, an adorable LWD (Little White Dress). It’s a simple and effortless look that can be worn on any summer day or night. I just paired the dress with camel tone wedges, belt and handbag; added a necklace with a pop of turquoise, big earrings, and voilà, the result is fabulous (if I do say so myself!).
