Hi beauties! This time I went a little nuts about black and white stripes LOL ! I thought how about mixing 3 items with these features, so I did it. It was fun, and since it was raining I could use my black & white striped umbrella ;) We took pictures as soon as it stopped raining. This purse is so cute and it reminds me of the little bags I used to have when I was little. It's vertical lines are so trendy right now, I have seen them on the runway and on the streets. I wasn't ready to commit to full vertical stripes yet, that's why I chose to buy this blazer which contains the classic horizontal lines as well as some vertical lines. I wanted to bring out the yellow highlights of the blazer by wearing this necklace so it would be a more cohesive look. I also wore this blazer here. Regarding the shoes, they are very pretty in person and the cut makes them look even more unique. 

Have you committed to a full vertical striped look yet?

Hola bellas! Esta vez me fui casi obsecionada con la tendencia de Rayas Blanco y Negro jejeje! Pense que honda si mesclamos 3 piezas de rayas, asi es que lo hice. Fue diverido y como estaba lloviendo pude usar mi paraguas con este estampado ;) Tomamos las fotos ni bien paro de llover. Esta carterita me hace recordar a las que usaba cuando era bien chiquita. Las lineas verticales esta de re-moda, las he visto en las pasarelas y en las calles. Yo no estaba lista a un look completo de rayas vericales, es por eso que opte por un blazer que contiene las clasicas horizontales con un poco de las otras. Quise rescatar el color amarillo del blazer y asi hacer un look cohesivo. Vesti este blazer aqui. Sobre los zapatos, son tan lindos y ese corte que tiene enfrente lo hace ver mas unico.

Cuentame, ya te has comprometido a un look completo de lineas verticales?

Navy Blue and Black Outfit. Peplum Silhouette

Hi beautiful people! I hope you started your week off on a good foot. 

Have ever worn navy and black? I just realized that these two hues have become one of my favorite color combinations and I'm looking forward wearing them during fall and winter. Not to wear navy and black is one of the 'rules' I'm happy to break. I think as long as you can tell the difference between these colors its fine. If you want to spice it up, you can add colorful details like I did here by pairing them with these green heels, yellow clutch and turquoise necklace ;). So, overall, navy blue and black go nicely together and they work for me. I hope you enjoy this idea as much as I do. Have fun playing around with your clothes and keep this combination in mind (give it a chance). 

ps: Adding another peplum top to my wardrobe is great. I like to wear this cut because it accentuates the womanly shape of an hourglass. I love this extra fabric that adds the illusion of hips to my body ;)

Hola bella gente! Espero que hayan empezado su semana con el pie derecho.

Han vestido los colores azul y negro juntos? Me he dado cuenta que estos colores se han covertido en uno de mis favoritas combinaciones y planeo vestirlos durante este otoño/ invierno. No vestir azul marino y negro es una de las 'reglas' que estoy encantada en romper. Creo que mientras se pueda ver la diferencia entre ellos esta bien. Si quieres darle un toque mas lindo a tu ropa, puedes vestir accesorios coloridos como hice aqui combinandolos con estos tacos verdes, sobre amarillo y collar turquesa. Al final, azul marino y negro se ven re lindos y para mi funciona. Espero te haya gustado esta idea como a mi. Diviertete jugando con tu ropa, poniendolas juntas, combinandolas y ten en mente esta combinacion (dale una oportunidad).

pd: Es buenisimo gregar otro top peplo en mi closet. Me gusta este corte porque acentua la forma femenina. Me encanta esa extra tela que agrega la ilusion de caderas a mi silueta ;)

I wore this skirt here

Grey and Colorful Accessories

I wore this outfit to go to the movie theater Friday night. I had to wear ballerina flats because I had to run (we were running late). I had in mind wearing my grey skirt, blazer and flats but I wasn't sure about the accessories. When I opened my closet I saw my green handbag showing up behind my other bags. I knew it's been years since I have used it, so I thought it was time to use it again. It comes in handy since it's summer and this handbag has a nice floral design all over (the color looks much prettier in person). I gave it a try. Do you have things in your closet that you haven't used in years? Do you want to give it a try again?. Make sure you like it and you enjoy it using it :) !

Español: Vesti esta ropa para ir a ver una pelicula el Viernes en la noche. Tuve que vestir ballerinas porque tuve que correr ya que estabamos corto en tiempo. Y sabia que queria vestir mi falda gris con el balzer y ballerinas del mismo color. No estaba segura en cuanto a los accessorios. Cuando abri mi closet vi el color verde de mi cartera que estaba detraz de las otras. Yo se que hace mucho tiempo que no la uso, asi es que me dije la usare otra vez (el color se ve mas lindo en vivo) Asi le di otra oportunidad. Tu tienes cosas en tu armario que ya no usas hace mucho tiempo? Le quieres dar otra oportunidad? Asegurate que te guste y que lo disfrutes :) !
