Anniversary Outfit Idea

Hi beautiful people! Last weekend my husband I continued celebrating our anniversary. And this time I felt wearing a light color dress, so I chose this wrap dress in nude color. Actually, I bought it many months ago, but I didn't see the right moment to wear it. I love the color and the design a lot! It has a little bit of many vibes like a sexy vibe, sweet and classy at the same time. 

Español: Hola bellezas! La fiesta continuo para mi, porque el fin de semana pasada mi esposo y yo seguimos celebrando nuestro aniversario. Esta vez, senti de vestir un vestido color claro, asi es que eleji este vestido en color piel. Actualmente, ya habia comprado este vestido varios meses atraz, pero no tenia el momento adecuado para vestirlo. Me encanta el color y el diseño! Tiene un poquito de todo, como una honda dulce, sexy y clasica al mismo tiempo. 

I wanted to add a little bit of drama by wearing this fun, cozy coat. Even though it was a cold day, I felt warm wearing this coat. I have always wanted to get a coat with native graphics, and this was perfect since I could dress it up and down.

Español: Quise agregar un poco de drama e interes vibra vestiendo este abrigo. Aunque hacia mucho frio, me senti re abrigadita con este tapado. Siempre quise tener un abrigo el cual tuviera graficas nativas indias, y me parece que este me vino perfecto ya que lo puedo combinar de manera casual y de vestir.


Some other features I wanted to add is leather accents and colorful jewelry. I'm pleased to see that the faux leather belt I kept from another piece of clothing goes really great with this dress. And I'm in love with this necklace, not only because of the design, but because of its evergreen color as well. It looks great with my red lips. And as you can tell I'm so into spikes and studs right now, so that day was another excuse for me to wear my studded clutch ;) . 

Español: Otro detalle que queria agregar es algo de cuero. En realidad, este cinturon de cuerina es de otra pieza de ropa que tengo, pero pienso que se ve re bien y re lindo con este vestido tambien. Estoy enamorada de este collar, y no solo por su diseño, pero tambien por el color. Ese verde es tan divino y se ve re bien si agregas color rojo a tus labios. Como ya has visto, ultimamente estoy obsesionada con tachuelas, asi es que esa noche tuve una nueva razon para usarla otra vez ;). 





I hope you like this unconventional  idea for a date or night out with your girlfriends. Mixing patterns an textures with a sweet and classy dress.

Little Black Dress - Anniversary Date Night

Every woman should own a simple, elegant black dress. I had a special night out with my husband during the last week, and I didn't have much time to put something together. That's when my LBD (little black dress) came to help me out. I love this dress because of its design and the embellishment of the sequins in one side of the waist area. For some reason I decided to wear everything black, I thought it would be elegant. I only added color on my lips and wore silver jewelry. And as many as have already noticed, I'm into spikes, studs lately, so I chose to wear my studded clutch which added an interesting touch to the whole outfit. If you don't know what to wear to your anniversary date with your husband, a LBD will always look great on you. 

I was so happy to reach another year of marriage with my husband. He is the most amazing, wonderful and kind man I have ever known. He is a blessed from God! the love of my life! 
I wish you all have an amazing love by your side and that you both bless each other's lives.

Polka Dots, Studs and Pointed Shoes

Hi bellas! I hope everyone had a great weekend and I wish you have a great start to this week. I wanted to share this outfit I wore days ago because I mixed many things. I used polka dots, spikes and pointed pumps. I had to say that my favorite piece in this outfit is my new vintage handbag though. I have been wanting to get this brand for the longest time. I saw this one on ebay. And lucky me, the seller kept it in its dust bag for over 20 years, and never used it, so it's in a mint condition. You are going to see me wearing this handbag more often ;)

Español:
Hola bellas! Espero que hayan tenido un lindo fin de semana y deseo que empiesen su semana muy bien.
Queria compartir esta idea de look, el cual vesti la semana pasada. Mescle varias cosas que me gustan como lunares, tachuelas y tacos puntiagudos (estan de re moda por aca). De todas maneras, te tengo que decir que mi pieza favorita es mi nueva cartera vintage. Estaba queriendo comprar esta marca ya por mucho tiempo, hasta que la vi en ebay. Para mi suerte, la vendedora nunca la uso y la tuvo guardada en su bolsa por mas de 20 años, es por eso que esta en una condicion nueva. La usare mucho desde hoy en adelante ;)

Three Trends Together. C'est Chic !



Chic - Military Parka, Peplum Top and Bleached Jeans
Who would have thought putting these trends together. I actually paired this top with this outfit because I didn't have any other top long enough to cover the front > you  know (the bottom part that most women want to cover when some jeans are a little bit tight) lol.. anyways, It worked, at least for me since I love these three trends ;) !

Español: Quien iba a imaginarse que se podia poner estas tres tendencias juntas. Actualmente mescle este top peplo con este look porque era el unico top lo suficientemente largo para cubrirme la parte de adelante, tu sabes > (esa parte que muchas queremos cubrir cuando nuestros vaqueros estan un poco apretados 'alli' )  jejeje..de todas maneras, creo que funciono, al menos para mi ya que estas tres tendencias me fascinan ;) !

DIY Studded Denim Jacket / Chaqueta de tachuelas



Hi dolls! how was your weekend? I'm happy to share this DIY with you guys :) !

You'll need:

-A denim jacket. I got mine via ebay (J Crew).
-Studs. These are from  Studs and Spikes. They are 'Cones Standard English77-bag of 100 here.
-Pliers, a knife, etc (anything hard to bend the studs)


Español: Hola bellezas!! como fue tu fin de semana? 
Estoy alegre de compartir este proyecto Hazlo Tu Misma (DIY) con ustedes :) !
Necesitaras:
- Una chaqueta de jean. Yo compre la mia en ebay (marca J Crew).
- Tachuelas. Yo use estas.
- Un cuchillo (algo fuerte que usaras para doblar los dientes de las tachuelas)






First: Have a design. I preferred to place them on the back of my jacket. Originally I wanted to add them on the edge of the shoulders and part of the sleeves, but I thought that the idea would have worked better if the jacket was oversized. I did trace a straight line from one edge to the other and I calculated how many studs would go on it with almost an inch apart from each other. It was exactly 20 studs.

Primero: Ten un diseño. Yo preferi agregar las tachuelas a lo largo de la espalda. Originalmente, quise agregarlas en el borde de los hombros y una parte de las mangas, pero pense que esa idea se veria mejor en una chaqueta mas grande. Hice una linea y calcule como casi una pulgada entre tachuelas. Use 20 tachuelitas en la primera linea. Chequea la foto de abajo. 


Second: The way to place them. I opted for guiding myself by the lines of threading of the fabric, just like in the picture below. Once you are sure, push them down (they go through easily).

Segundo: Como veras en la foto de abajo, coloque los dientes a lo largo de las lineas del jean. Una vez que estas segura, presionalos hacia abajo (traspasaran la tela facilmente de esta manera).


Third: Take something hard (I used the back of my exacto-knife) to bend the teeth of the studs. Make sure that they dont stick out or they will catch.

Tercero: Agarra o un cuchillo o algo duro para que dobles los dientes de las tachuelas (asi como hice yo en la foto). Asegurate que no sobresalgan ya que tu ropa se puede enganchar en ellas. 

and Voilà!! 

y listo!!!



ps: I used brass polish to clean to buttons up-they look shiner and more metallic.

pd: Use limpiador de metal 'Brasso Brilla Metal' para limpiar los botones - ahora se ven mas lindos. (producto Argentino. aqui).


I hope you like this idea. Have fun making your own DIY.

Thank you so much for visiting :) !
Have a great day and God bless you !

College Casual Look. Studded Denim Jacket and LV Handbag


Hi dolls!!!! It's been a long time, I know :( but as many as you know, during school I'm pretty much busy studying and that leaves me with a little time to blog. Anyways, today I took some time to upload this post for you and I also wanted to let you know that I'll be posting "how I added" the studs to my jacket ;)

Spanish: Hola muñecas y muñecos!!!! tanto tiempo! yo se :( pero como muchos ya sabran, durante la temporada escolar me ocupo mas de mis clases y eso me deja con poquito tiempo para mi blog. De todas maneras, hoy dia le quite un tiempo de mis estudios, para subir esta publicacion y para hacerles saber que estare subiendo la publicacion en "como agregue" esas tachuelitas en la chaqueta ;)


 I wore this outfit to college and then just dropped my stuff at home and picked up my new vintage LV bag to go to Target (we needed some filters for the humidifier).

Spañol: Vesti esta ropa para el un dia en el college y a la noche lo unico que cambien fue la carterita. Habia dejado mi mochila con libros en casa y preferi estrenar esta cartera (recien la compre via ebay) para ir a hacer unas compritas en Target.
