Hi everyone! How are you?

I'm sorry I was absent. There were many things going on, like getting sick, traveling and graduating...exactly I graduated yay!!!

I'm going to share some outfit ideas pics that I took before getting sick. I wore this casual and fun look on April to walk around Washington DC. It was a beautiful day walking by the Washington Monument and checking out the cherry blossom, and it was a little chilly which gave the chance to wear this cute jacket. I enjoyed pairing it with this teal colored scarf.  Love colors!!!

Hi everyone! How is it going?
I wanted to share the quote by Lady Murasaki Shikibu. I just read about her and it impacted me. She was a noblewoman and lady-in-waiting, a writer who emerged from Japan's glorious "Heian" period.

My world contains color, and I find beauty in it. If you haven't already noticed, I love color and I tend to wear it more during Spring and Summer. One of the things that caught my attention about Lady Murasaki is that  among many things that were expected for noblewoman, they had to master the art of dressing well including what color to wear when and where. Can you imagine that there is a color for every occasion... interesting!
On this occasion, I wanted to wear a colorful outfit for a spring day. I enjoy these days, you can wear a merino pullover or a blazer to keep you a little warm while the cold wind blows. I think I just became a fan of this color combo ~ yellow(or retro lemon)-orange-khaki and nude ;)
I hope you enjoy this outfit idea..kisses!

Hola a todos! Como han estado?
Quise compartir la frase de Lady Murasaki Shikibu. Recientemente lei sobre ella y me cautivo. Ella era una mujer de clase noble y asistente de la Emperatriz, era escritora quien emergio en Japon durante la era Heian.

Mi mundo contiene color, y encuentro belleza en el. Como ya has notado, me encanta vestir color y mucho mas durante Primavera y Verano. Una de las cosas que me llamo la atencion sobre Lady Murasaki es que una de las cosas que se esperaba de las mujeres de su clase era que dominen el arte de vestirse bien, como saber que color vestir dependiendo de la ocasion y lugar.....interesante!
En esta ocasion, me encanto vestir un atuendo colorido para un dia primaveral. Disfruto mucho estos dias, donde uno puede vestir un pulover o blazer que al mismo tiempo te mantiene abrigadita mientras el viento fresquito te acaricia.
Creo que me he convertido en una fan de esta combinacion de color ~ amarillo (o retro limon) - anaranjado- beige y color desnudo ;)
Espero te haya gustado esta idea de ropa..besitos!

Hi everybody! How you all doing? 

The weather around here is warmer..so it seems that Winter has finally given up ;)

Every time I hear the word Spring, I associate it with flowers, colors, fun patterns and denim. Indeed, denim on denim is your best friend since the material is friendly enough to keep you a little cool and a little warm every time the wind blows. Here are some other times I wore denim on denim -> here, here, here, here
I wanted to keep it everything on the primary colors, and even though sometimes is hard to pull of red and blue without looking like our beloved American flag, it's worth to give it a try and have fun with the outcome. I chose my red scarf and wedges and paired them with blue colored jewelry. I even did my nails blue. So, when you don't know what to wear, just think about the color wheel and many ideas might follow. Hope you enjoy this post ;)

Hola hermosa gente! Como les va?

El clima por aqui esta mas calentito..asi es que parece que ahora si el Invierno renuncio ;)

Cada vez que escucho la palabra Primavera, lo asocio con flores, colores, divertidos estampados y tela vaquera. Asi es, tela vaquera sobre vaqueros es tu mejor amigo ya que el material es suficientemente amistoso para mantenerte un poco abrigadita para esas mañanas o tardes de primavera (donde el viento es fresquito). Aqui te comparto algunos atuendos donde vesti vaquero sobre vaquero -> aqui, aqui, aqui, aqui
Quise mantener todo en los colores primarios, y aunque a veces es dificil de verse bien en rojo y azul sin verse como nuestra amada bandera america, vale la pena intentarlo y divertirse con el resultado.
Eleji mi pañuelo rojo, zapatitos rojos y los mescle con joyas en color azul. Hasta el color de mis uñas fueron azules. Entonces, cuando no sepas que vestir, piensa sobre la rueda de color y varias ideas surgiran. Espero te guste esta idea ;)
