NOT EVERYTHING IS BLACK & WHITE

This is another post from my awesome trip to cuba, this time I’m sharing one of the easy summer looks I wore during my week there! It was pretty hot most of the days, and since we walk a lot around the city, this flirty dress was the perfect choice for a long day on the tropical Havana. I love the black & white checkers print, it’s so on trend for the season, besides it’s really fun and fresh to wear during the day, to complete this super simple look, I added a belt to cinch in and highlight the waist, a big chunky necklace and a cool pair of sunnies. Of course I would’ve loved to wear a super high pair heels, with my pretty dress, but it would've been kind of difficult to walk around town on heels, so I had to put style a side, and dress my look down by wearing a pair of comfy flat sandals, to take on the beautiful streets of the havana.



Checkers print dress - Zara / Silver frame sunnies - Dolce & Gabbana / Black flat sandals - Nine West.

Have a happy Monday!

CUBA PHOTO DIARIES

After spending an incredible summer away, I finally got back home, now I’m more than ready to get my life back on track, and start posting and sharing all that has happened so far. A month away may seem like a lot, but it was just the right amount of time, even tough it went by so fast, I have to say, I did make the most of it. During the past month, I had the chance to travel, relax, have fun, go out and enjoy to the max the time with my family, friends and boyfriend. One of the highlights of my summer was definitely my trip to Cuba, I spent a week on the beautiful Havana, which is a place I thought I wouldn't go back to, but some how I ended up returning sooner than I thought, and it was as amazing as It was two years ago. I had such a nice time, we got to go to so many great places and walked around the city, just admiring their colonial architecture, which is full of history,  just being there you feel like time got stucked in the 50s, the buildings, the cars and the entire vibe, really transports you back in time. It was great to go back and enjoy the culture, food and the mojitos of course of this super fun city once again. Here are a few photos I took during the trip, to share with you this experience, and for you to see some of the places and details that make this city so famous.

Have an amazing week!!

BUSSINESS OR PLEASURE

I weeks days ago I was going trough my closet and I found a super old pair of washed out ripped jeans all the way in the back, science I hadn't worn them in years, I tought it was about time to throw them away. Until I realized I could still find a way to make them work, so I took out a pair of scissors and decided to make a fun DIY project. First I measured the length, then I cut of the legs and ripped them even a bit more, until finally there they where, the perfect pair of  cutout denim shorts. The colest and most comfortable item of the season, so easy to wear and to pair, sexy and fresh to combat the summer’s the heat. 

Last week I decided to take my new shorts for test ride, since it was the first time I wore them, I tried to create an interesting mix, by pairing them with something more dressed up, like a buttoned up shirt and a flirty black peplum on top. I created an unconventional summer look, which is all business on top and leisure on the bottom, clashing both styles to create a fun and cool contrast, matching the black and white trend with sexy denim shorts.

Black peplum top - H&M / White collar shirt - Zara / Ripped cutout shorts - Bershka / Silver chunky chain necklace - H&M / Silver cuff - Egyptian market / Silver frame sunnies - Dolce & Gabbana / Ankle strap sandals - Zara.

Let’s make the most of  summer!!
