Color Block-4 colors


I'm so happy wearing colors !!! This is one more color block outfit. Yellow, Purple, Blue Topaz and Orange brown ! who would have thought that these colors will look good together !! 
Traduccion:
Re feliz vistiendo colores!!!! Una idea mas de vestuario usando color. Amarillo, Morando, Azul Topaz y Naranjita marron ! quien hubiese pensado que estos colores se verian tan lindo juntos !!



Another trend on accessories for this Summer that I'm rocking is The Rubber Watch. They came in so many colors. I personally love more a white watch, it just adds sophistication to an outfit making a beautiful statement.
Traduccion:
Otra tendencia en accesorios en este Verano son los Relojes de Goma. Vienen en diferentes colores pero yo preferi en blanco ya que agrega sofisticacion a el vestuario y luce muy hermoso.

Graphic Prints and Maxi Skirt

What can I tell you? I love this maxi skirt because it's so comfortable and light for hot days besides making me look taller :). I like this top with graphic prints which reminds me of some designs we've seen on the runways such as SASS & BIDE Fall 2011 Collection. (pictures coming soon on next post)

Que les puedo decir? Me encanta maxi faldas porque es tan comodo y buenisimas para dias muy calurosos, aparte que me hace ver mas alta :) jeje.. Me gusta este top por sus figuras geometricas y color, el cual me hace recordar a algunos disenos que vi en las pasarelas para este Otono 2011 como la colleccion de Preen. (fotos vendran pronto en la proxima publicacion)


 Top: Free Generation by www.ideeli.com/invite/elseyj and Watch from the same store
Skirt: Forever21. It was a dress but a cut cause it didn't fit no more ;)
         Era vestido pero lo corte porque ya no me quedaba ;)
Bag: From a trip to Argentina

How to Wear Men's Shirt

Another idea of what to wear when you don't know what clothes to chose is your man's clothes. In this case I chose my husband's shirt, now mine :) since he doesn't wear it anymore plus it's color comes very handy for this season and this Fall-Winter season coming as well. Because you know that color blocking is going to stick around for a bit more. These are two ways I wore my husband's shirt.

Otra gran idea de que vestir es la ropa de tu amado. En este caso opte por vestir la camisa de mi esposo, la cual es mia ya que el no la usa mas :) jeje... Y el color viene perfecto ya que Color Blocking es  una moda que se quedara por un rato mas con nosotros en esta estacion de Otono-Invierno que se viene. Estas son dos maneras de como use la camisa de mi esposo :)

Even though in this outfit all the clothes and accessories are very girly, the man's shirt adds a masculine touch. This is a girly outfit with a masculine side and so is the next one.

Here, I wanted to pair it with a tailored shorts to make a modish masculine style, but at the same time I added a white necklace which gives a feminine touch.

Beige, White and Yellow

I wore this outfit a few times, but didn't take any pictures until I saw a photo of Kim Kardashian. I just wanted to show how sophisticated we can look wearing white and beige. Both outfits are very similar en colors, but mine is more affordable than hers obviously :)
I wore a top and a ring from H&M , jeans from Forever21, Sandals from Aldo, and the purse and earrings were made by me ^^.  I really like how the yellow clutch gives a pop of color.

Ya vestido esta ropa un par de veces, pero no habia sacado fotos hasta que vi a K. Kardashian vestir esta ropa similar en colores. Los dos vestuarios son muy parecidos, pero el mio es mucho mas economico. Mi Blusa y anillo son de H&M, mis jeans son de Forever21, Sandalias de Aldo y la carterita y aretes los hice yo :) . Vaqueros blancos van muy bien con tops color beige. Beige y blanco es un combo sofisticado. Y tambien podes agregar un toque de color como esta carterita amarilla.

Color Block in my kitchen?



I wanted to share this recipe with you. It's very easy to make. pretty colors ha!

Put 1lb of lean ground turkey in a bowl
add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, garlic paste, rich dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, balsamic vinegar and siracha.
Mix and knead the ground turkey until everything well combined
Let sit for a few hours in the fridge or overnight
Make small meat patties with the mixture.


Put the water on to boil.
When the water is boiling add the udon.
Add some soy, and rice vinegar to the udon.

While the udon is cooking
Put  a little oil and some chopped garlic in the frying pan and let it heat up.
After the garlic has been caramelized add the turkey patties.
Brown the turkey patties lightly on one side then add the onions, tomatoes and peppers to the pan and add some salt and black pepper to the veggies.
Flip the patties and continue to allow them cook, occasionally turning them and mixing the contents of the pan.

And tada !!!! this is how it looks :D !


ESPANOL

Aqui use Carne de pavo molido. Agregar, sal, pimieta, ajo, salsa de soja, vinagre balsamico y siracha. Mescla todo y formarlas como patys. Dejalo marinar por un par de horas.

Pone el agua para el udon. Agregalos cuando el agua este hirviendo. Agrega salsa de soja y vinagre de arroz.

Mientras el udon este cocinando corta los vegetales en juliana. Morrones, verde, amarillo, rojo y las cebolla (cantidad a tu gusto).
Agrega aceite de oliva en el sarten. Agrega las patys, sellar a fuego alto ambos lados. Agrega los vegetales y deja que todo cocine a fuego medio. Agrega sal y pimienta a los vegetales. Cocina todo a tu gusto. A mi me gusta la carne jugosita y los vegetales un poco crunchies. Disfrutalo
