College Outfit: Houndstooth and Fringe

Hi dolls ! I hope you had a beautiful Christmas day !
Here I wanted to share one of the last outfits I wore to college. I normally wear something more casual, but this day I wanted to look chic and what better idea than wearing a houndstooth coat and fringe boots..yeah, I thought that pairing these two trends would make my outfit look fun, stylish and out of the ordinary. It's always good to break your routine (like wearing jeans and sneakers). I hope you like this outfit idea, enjoy it ;) !

Hola preciosas! Espero hayan tenido un bello dia de Navidad !
Aqui les queria compartir el ultimo look que vesti para la preparatoria. Normalmente visto ropa casual, pero ese dia quise vestir un look mas sofisticado y que mejor manera de vestir un abrigo con graficas de "houndstooth" y botas de flecos...asi es, pense que vestir estas dos tendencias harian que todo el look se vea  divertido, estetico y fuera de lo comun. Siempre es bueno romper con la rutina de vestir vaqueros y zapatillas ;) Espero les guste esta idea de vestuario y que lo disfruten ;) !

What I Wore (Lo Que Vesti)

• Asos denim shirt (2011) Camisa via Asos (2011)
• Coat via Burlington Coat Factory (2011)
• Forever 21 jeans (2011) Vaqueros de Forever21 (2011)
• Steve Madden boots (they were 19.99 during a sale an August this year ). Botas de Steve Madden (me costo $19.99 durante una oferta en Agosto)
• Sunglasses via Target. Lentes de sol de Target. 
• Handbag (got it from my mom :). El bolso me lo dio mi mami.

The Elbow Patch Trend

I believe elbow patches were originally created to fix torn clothes. You know, when sometimes people couldn't afford new clothes, this was a clever way to keep wearing their garments -and we can keep using this tip ;) - Who would have thought that this little piece of fabric would make its way into one of the hottest fashion trends. This trend is no longer associated with college professors style or with the elderly. They come in many different colors ans shapes which will make your outfits look more interesting while adding a gentle class. This is a great trend to incorporate into our DIY list!!! I hope you like how I paired my elbow patch blazer and the looks I found on the internet. enjoy it :) !

      

 All these sweaters by Asos.com (search: Elbow Patch)

some celebrities rocking this trend!
A cozy casual look like Emma's, an edgy look like Kim Kardashian, a chic look like Jessica Alba and a classy look like Katie's. The elbow patch can be very versatile! Why don't you try it as well ;) ?

more pics !
 I love pairing this blazer with these hues, leopard flats and one of my favorite handbag!

Parisian Sense - Stripes, Midi Skirt and Leather

Hi dolls !
Stripes shirts are a classic french look that never goes out of style and pairing it with this midi skirt made me feel even more into the mood. My hairstyle, a side bun helped too ;) ! My suede high boots and leather jacket were a perfect combination of a stylish Fall look (besides, it was great adding a little bit of edge). I hope you like this outfit idea.

Spanish:
Top de rayas es una clasica prenda de looks frances que nunca estaran fuera de moda. Al combinarla con esta pollera me hizo sentir aun mas un honda pariseña. El peinado añadio ese sentido un poco mas ;) 
Las botas de gamuza y la camperita de cuero son una gran combinacion formando un look estlizado para este Otoño / Invierno. Espero les guste esta idea de vestuario ;) 

What I Wore (Vesti)

Top: Zara $19.99 

Skirt falda : H&M 2011

DIY Spiked Blazer Tutorial

Hi dolls!

How you all doing? I hope you are doing great!

The first time I posted an outfit wearing this blazer I said I will share the steps of how I did this, so here they are. A promise is a promise ;) ! Time to spice that blazer up !! yaaay!!!

Español:

Hola bellezas!

Como les va? Espero que muy bien !

La primera vez que comparti un look vistiendo este blazer, dije que iba a compartir los pasos de como agregue estas tachuelas, asi es que aqui esta. Una promesa es una promesa ;)

You will need (Necesitaras)
-A blazer.
-Spikes. I got mine from Studs and Spike. I got these ones.  Pinche/ pua / clavo / como llames a las cabezita triangulares, abri el link para ver cuales use.
-Something sharp to make the holes. I used a dart. Algo filudo. Yo use un dardo de metal.
-A ruler. Una regla.
-A pencil to mark. Un lapiz para marcar.

1. Mark where you want the spikes to be like in the picture below.

Primero: Marca donde querras agregar las tachuelas, asi como se ve en la foto.

2. Make the hole. Be gentle and careful, you don't want to break the threads.

Para hacer la perforacion, hazlo con cuidado para que no tires los hilos de la tela.

3. Every spike has a screw. Turning the screw carefully from inside the blazer. 

Es hora de poner el tornillito que viene con la tachuela. Con cuidado pasa el tornillito como se ve en la primera foto. Despues que este dentro, usa un destornillador pequeño para asegurarlo como en la segunda foto.

This is how it looks outside of the blazer. You just have to place the spike and you're done.

Asi es como se ve el tornillito y ahora es tiempo de poner el pinche/pua/clavo/ como llames a la cabezita triangular. 

This is how the pattern of the spikes look on the shoulders of the blazer.

Asi es como se ve el diseño de las puas en el hombro de el blazer.

and voila!!

y listo !!

I hope you enjoy this tutorial. Maybe more DIY with spikes coming? ;) !

Quizas mas tutoriales de puas en los proximos dias? ;) !
