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 ;) !

Español
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 ;) !

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 :) !

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 ;) ?

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

Boho Burgundy: Denim Jacket and Fur Vest

I heart burgundy!!! for decades, many people also call this color "wine". Call it burgundy, call it wine or call it maroon, I think this color will always be a great hue for Fall and Winter. Pull those burgundy clothes out of your closet and rock it ! (I also like to wear it year round lol).
Oh! and adding a faux fur vest adds a warm layer to protect you from cold.
There is something so cool about pairing a faux fur vest with a denim jacket that works in an stunning way. Plus the brown leather boots accentuate that Boho style I was looking for. I hope you like this outfit idea :)

Español:
Me encanta el color bordo!!! por decadas, las gente lo ha llamado color "vino". Llamalo bordo, llamalo vino o llamalo color borgoña, pienso que este es un gran color para vestir durante las temporadas de Otoño e Invierno. Saca toda tu ropa de este color fuera de tu ropero y vestilas con placer! (tambien me encanta vestir este color casi todo el año jejeje).
Oh! agregar un chaleco de piel (no real) agrega una capa mas calentita a tu atuendo y asi te mantiene abrigada. Me encanta como se ve el chaleco encima de una chaqueta de jean, se ve tan lindo y resaltante!
Mas, el vestir estas botas marrones acentuo el estilo bohemio que estaba buscando. Espero les guste esta idea :)


I Wore (Vesti)
T-shirt remera/camiseta/polo: H&M
Jacket: Levis via Macy's
Faux Fur Vest chaleco: I.N.C International Concepts via Macy's (2010)
Skirt falda: Forever21 (2011)
Handbag cartera: Dooney & Bourke 
Necklace collar: Zara
Boots botas: BOC Born Concept via Macy's (2011)

"Les Misérables" Fashion Red Carpet

I'm so looking forward watching The Miserables movie. Meanwhile, I'm just enjoying the actresses' fashion style during their red carpets! Which look of each actress is your favorite? 

Español
Ya no veo la hora de ver la pelicula "Los Miserables". Mientras tanto, estoy disfrutando de ver la moda de estas actrices durante sus eventos en "la carpeta roja". Cual de los vestidos que cada una de ellas vistio, te gusta mas?


                 Anne Hathaway 
                                             Givenchy                                                                                        Tom Ford  



                                       Amanda Seyfried
Balenciaga                                                                                  Alexander MacQueen



                              Samantha Barks
                                                                                      wearing Stella MacCartney

I think that Anne Hathaway's sense of style is the strongest one during these red carpet events. She can be like a chameleon. One day she is wearing a beautiful, chic and delicate dress and another day she can deliver a bad-ass look, portraying her gothic fashion sense and being chic at the same time.
I also love Amanda's second dress by none other than Alexander MacQueen. I love the details on the dress, that "baroque" style which is so hot for this season!

Español
En mi opinion, creo que el estilo de Anne Hathaway es el mas fuerte y resalta mas durante estos eventos. Como podemos apreciar, ella puede ser como un cameleon. Un dia luce un vestido bello, y delicado y otro dia se luce con un vestido de un estilo gotico, fuerte y de clase.
Tambien me encanto el vestido que Amanda vistio, el cual es de Alexander MacQueen. Me gusto muchisimo los detalles que lleva en el top, lo cual es un estilo "barroco" que por cierto esta de moda para esta temporada.

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.

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 ;)

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? ;) !
