CHAOS OF THE NIGHT

A few days ago I was so busy running errands around town, that the day went by so fast, until I realized that I hadn’t taken any pictures yet and it was already night. Then I thought, why not try something different and shoot some pictures during the chaos of the night, and some how I ended up shooting this cool photos, during traffic’s rush hour, on a bridge that crosses one of the biggest and most transited highways of the city. It was a good and cool change of scenery, we had a lot of fun shooting while tons of cars where driving below us. 

Shoulder padded shirt - Zara / Tuxedo stripe pants - Forever 21 / Chain necklace with crystals and pendants - Zara / Golden cuff - Egyptian Market / Copper band watch - D&G / Black tote - Carolina Herrera / Leopard pumps - Nine West.

The wind was a bit crazy but we still manage to get some interesting shots, that portrait both the details of my outfit and the madness of the traffic. For this look, I wore a simple black tee to match my new tuxedo stripe denim pants, and added some cool elements to to make it pop, like my beloved leopard pumps for some texture, bright red lips for contrast and some chunky ethnic accessories for the extra punch.

Enjoy your day!!

IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS

My obsession with printed pants seem to be growing every day, as the spring settles down, blod and fun printed pants have become my "go to" garment of choice. They are a great alternative to simple and dull denim pants, but they are still as practical and easy to use on my daily life. The great thing about this trend, is that any print can bring a simple outfit to life, by adding that extra cool factor to them. On this post I’m wearing a new pair of capris that I got last month and I finally get to use them, I love the green and blue tones they have, their medium print details are great. I decided to pair them with a not so simple, embellished white tee, which details match perfectly with my pants and added a pop of color by using my bright patent sandals, and one of my favorite and colorful vintage earrings.

The weekend is still a day away, but I decided that mine begins today..

Have a great day!

I wore my new dot printed pants and paired them with a pretty flower form embroidered shirt, creating a simple yet very chic outfit. go complete it, I wore a pretty flower detail tweed bag and a pair of big romantic earrings, and finished up with a light natural makeup and slick pulled back hair, getting that sweet spring look I was going for.

PRETTY PASTELS

After a super long work day, I finally got home and got time to write this delayed post, I’been super busy with many projects, that I haven't had time to post as often as I’d like, but I’ll try to make time so I can keep on track. I wore this pastel look last week,  I layered my cute pastel sweater on top of a basic white shirt, to keep warm on a chilly day and paired it up with my blush flare pants, to create a sweet combination of pale tones. That work great for spring, but are still functional for the winter’s cold that refuses to leave.

SPRING AWAKENING

Spring is just a couple of weeks away, and as much as I’ll miss wearing winter clothes, I’m more excited to wear and apply all the amazing spring trends on my daily looks. As you may know, dressing between seasons always tends to be tricky, one day it feels so warm that you want to wear a pair of shorts and then the next one, the cold comes back and makes you realize that it isn’t time to wear them yet. So the best way to transition from one season to another, is to mix trends from both seasons, this way you don't have to worry about feeling out of place. You can wear something that screams spring, like this pretty pale pink trousers and then paired them with a not so spring looking top, like this printed jumper which fabric and color are more sober, but the floral print matches perfectly with the pants.

SNOW DAY IN NEW YORK

I went to New York a few weeks ago, and I got caught in the blizzard storm called Nemo, It hit so bad that everything got completely covered in snow. You can imagine how bad this cold feels for a mexican girl, which city’s temperature is usually higher than 30 degrees Celsius. I was freezing the entire week, I had to wear my big fur coats to keep warm, which is actually not a bad thing, because we hardly ever get to wear winter clothes around here, and nearly impossible to use fur coats like this one. Our winter last about a month tops, so I was more than happy that I got to wear many of my favorite hats, beanies and scarfs.

SPOT ON

Lately I’ve been crazy about printed pants, and I know almost everyone else is too, they are so fun to wear, that I just bought a few more pairs, to wear during spring. I can’t wait to show them all to you, I got everything from stripes, flowers, patterns, graphics and even spots, like this green ones I wore last week. I love the emerald tone they have, and since green has become one of the colors of the year, I think will be seeing a lot more of it on the months to come. I matched the black spots with a basic black peplum top, so It wouldn't compete with the details of the crazy pants, this way it still looks cool but in a more sophisticated way.

SELMA

I am crazy about my new Michael Kors bag that I bought in NY, it has the perfect size and most amazing green tone, that will definitely make my spring looks stand out when ever I wear it. I took this cool pics to share my "Selma" satchel with you, I hope you like it as much as I do, because I fell in love the minute I saw it. I can’t wait for spring, and all the fun and bright colors that come with it, to get here.

Hope you find a perfect bag for spring too!!
