White Fringe Loop Vest

I wanted to wear this cozy and warm vest before the weather changes and thanks to this unstable weather I was able to do it ;) ..it seems that cold days don't want to leave. Enjoy layering your clothes and have a nice weekend :D !

Español: Yo queria vestir este chalequito otra vez antes que el clima cambie a mas calor y gracias a que esta inestable pude hacerlo ;)  ..parece que los dias frios no nos quieren dejar. Disfruta vistiendo capas de ropa y que tengas un lindo fin de semana :D !

Let Spring begin

Let Spring begin yaaay!! I love adding this neon sweater to my outfit..it makes it more interesting I also like how the neon detail of my clutch goes great with it. After looking at pictures of many collections for this season, I ended up obsessed with the peplum trend. So since I don’t have anything like it(yet) , I decided to play a little with what I have. I wore my shirt but I didn’t tuck it in, so that when I wore the sweater on top, it would still have some of the length out giving an illusion of peplum. It was an experiment and I had fun with it. 

Español: Que bueno que ya empezo la Primavera siiii !! Me gusto agregar este sweater fosforescente a mi atuendo porque lo hace mas interesante y jugueton. Tambien me encanto como combino con los detalles verdecitos de mi carterita. Saben que despues de ver tantas fotos de las collecciones de los grandes diseñadores y ver nuevas tendencias como el "peplum" me quede obsesionada jejeje..Como todabia no tengo nada con ese estilo, decidi experimentar un poco y use mi blusa para eso. En ves de meterla dentro de los pantalones, la deje afuera, poniendome el sweater encima y dejando el largo de la camisa para afuera dando asi un efecto "Peplum".  Peplum es como un volante sobrepuesto que acentua las caderas, algunos empiezan desde la cintura y otros mas abajito. ..hay muchas variedades. Mas adelante subire un post sobre esa tendencia.

Spring Summer 2012. Colors Part I

This Spring Summer offers a great variety of trends. You don't have to chose all of them but the one that goes with you. We don't have to literally pick up a trend, lets say, if you love neon colors but you don't feel comfortable wearing them, you can chose to rock them on your accessories like a neon necklace e.g. Have fun and always feel comfortable wearing what you love.

NEON. Color Blocking was a huge trend last year, and still is. We are talking about fluorescent greens, neon yellows, greens, blues, hot pinks etc.. 
                           Badgley Mischka                                                           Jason Wu
I adore how Jason Wu beautifully added a touch of black using a delicate skinny belt and stilettos.


                                                                 Christian Siriano
Christian Siriano, you did it again darling! I'm in love with these two looks. If we didn't know what to wear with a neon long skirt, these two options are fantastic...just fabulous!


                                       Lanvin                                                              Burberry Prorsum
Gorgeous greens for this season !


                                       Jason Wu                                                              Peter Som
I'm so looking forward finding great pieces on this hue.


 Bottega Veneta

Rock this trend on your accessories ;)

PASTEL SHADES. If bright colors are not your thing, don't worry because this Spring Summer offers sweet sorbet hues and pastel shades. Textures such as large scale lace or cut out patterns add a more delicate touch to the outfits and what's a better example than the collections of Valentino and Louis-Vuitton.
                                   Valentino                                                               Louis-Vuitton
I have two words to describe how I feel about these two looks > In Love !!! how beautiful the colors are and the patterns ! I wish to find something like this.


                                   Preen                                                                            Versus


                                     Phillip Lim                                                                Ralph Lauren


                                     Prada                                                                             Preen


                                      Marc Jacobs                                                              Wes Gordon

TANGERINE.              
Here comes more color, and this time in shades of oranges. In my opinion, if I wear a dress in this hue, I would tone it down by pairing it with accessories in pastels or nude colors.
                                   Michael Kors                                                        Alberta Ferreti 

                                        Acne                                                               Christian Siriano

                                       Chloe                                                                        Felder Felder 

                                 Badgley Mischka                                                  Nanette Lepore

Color Combo: Green, White and Black

Outfit Flashback
______

Atuendo desde mis archivos

Combo: White / Ivory - Black - Green
This is a great color palette that will always be in. Outfit Idea for a day of around 50° Fahrenheit (no less - at least for me). Pairing corduroy pants and suede boots, make the outfit stand out more. They have a je ne sais quoi that I like :)
__________

Combo: Blanco / Perla - Negro - Verde
Esta es una buena combinacion de color que es clasica y que siempre nos sacara de apuros.
Esta idea de tuendo para un dia,  de alrededor 50° Fahrenheit (no menos). Combinando pantalones de corduroy con botas de cuero gamuzado hacen que el atuendo sobresalte mas y en una manera sofisticada. Los dos juntos tienen un je ne sais quoi que me gusta :)

Hidden Treasures

I got this cute jacket in 2010..I really like it ..I just forgot to wear it. This year, I'm going to try to wear most of my clothes. Has ever happened to you that you have so many clothes that you have never worn? Let's go through our closets in order to find treasures :D

Español: Compre esta chaquetita en 2010. Me gusta mucho porque es bien bonita, pero no se porque no le he dado la oportunidad de usarla. Este año tratare de usar toda la ropa que ya tengo en el armario. Te ha pasado que muchas veces ignoras lo que ya tienes en tu armario? Chequeemos nuestros roperos y te aseguro que encontraras tesoros que ni te acordabas que ya los tenias :D

Casual week day outfit

After eating kabob for dinner with my husband, we jumped over to Marshalls for a few minutes. Since there was not much time to go over the whole store, I just went straight to the handbags area. They have beautiful colors for this Spring Summer season. I saw a Nine West snake print clutch for $16.99 in case some of you were looking for this trend.

Español: Despues de cenar kabob con mi esposito, me di un saltito a la tienda de Marshalls. Pero como no habia mucho tiempo para recorrer toda la tienda, me fui a el area de las carteras y vi que tienen bellos colores para esta temporada. Alli vi una cartera de marca Nine West por $16.99, les cuento por si acaso alguna de ustedes estan en la busqueda de esta tendencia. 


This is the clutch I was talking about, and it looks much better than in the picture.
Español: Esta es la cartera de la que estaba hablando y se ve mejor que en la foto.

 If it was during the day, I would have worn big sun glasses with this outfit ;)
