Findings & Fundings: Thrifted Skirt & Brand Names



Hi beauties! When it comes to an outfit it's all about findings and fundings. 
Great deals + whay my eyes love + and what my wallet can afford = Good combination. 
I got this denim skirt a a thrift store for $5 and my mom altered it :) See how I wore it before here.
As I mentioned in the previous post, this is my first white coat. I have a white puffy jacket, but a white coat can make any outfit look much sophisticated and feminine. I love white during Winter and you?.

Hola bellezas! Cuando se habla de vestuario se trata de buenas ofertas/encuentros y financiados. 
Buenas ofertas, lo que los ojos gusta y lo que la billetera puede cubrir = Buena combinacion.
Compre esta falda de jean en una tienda de segunda mano por $5 y mi mami me la altero :) Mira como la vesti antes aqui. Como les mencione en el post anterior, este es mi primer abrigo blanco. Tengo una chaqueta blanca, pero un abrigo puede hacer de cualquier vestuario/look mas sofisticado y femenino. Me encanta el blanco durante Invierno, y tu?

I have always wanted a sturdy red bag which I gifted myself as an Anniversary, Chirstmas and birthday present..my 3 in 1. This bag is my first serious red bag. I said that because I have had another bag in this hue, but it was for college / everyday use, and you know how we treat those types of bags. When we are sitting down in class, we leave them on the floor, under our seats and sometimes we even kick them (like we do with our backpacks too), right?. That's why this is my first 'seriours' Red Bag. A touch of color like this will make any outfit stand out. Besides, red is my favorite color, and yours?

Siempre quise una cartera roja estructurada, dura, masisa como se dice en mi pais y esta vez me la regale. Fue mi presente de Aniversario, Navidad y de cumpleaños, 3 en 1. Esta cartera es mi primera cartera roja seria. Y digo seria ya que tuve una roja para el college, pero tu sabes como uno trata las carteras que son para el colegio, universidad; uno las pone hasta en el piso debajo de nuestros asientos en las clases y hasta a veces las patea (como a las mochilas), cierto?. Es por eso que esta es mi primera 'seria' Cartera Roja. Un toque de color como este no pasa desapercibido. El rojo es mi color favorito y el tuyo?

Outfit Idea: My First White Coat - Primer Abrigo Blanco


"El blanco no es una mera ausencia del color ; es una cosa brillante y positiva, tan feroz como el rojo, tan definido como el negro . Dios pinta en muchos colores; pero nunca pinta tan magníficamente, casi diría que de manera llamativamente, como cuando pinta en blanco. "

“White is not a mere absence of color; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black. God paints in many colors; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white. ” 


Feliz fin de semana hermosas! Este es el primer look de mi nueva adquisicion, abrigo blanco. Siempre quise tener uno de ellos pero la razon que me paro de comprarlo es que se ensucian rapido. Hay un decir en las calles "El Blanco es Sucio", porque se ensucia rapido obvio. Pero aunque eso sea un factor, creo que deberiamos darnos el gusto de tener una pieza invernal blanca en nuestros closets. Hay que ser muy cuidadosos y si se llega a perder el blanquito, no te preocupes que tambien puedes vestir una pieza "blanquecino" jiji

Happy Weekend Dolls! This is my first look for my new aquisition (White Coat). I have always wanted to have a white coat, but what stopped me was that they get dirty very fast. There is a spanish proverb, that goes "White is always dirty", because anything white shows up even the tiniest spec of dirt. Even though this is true,  we shouldnt hesitate to satisfy our thirst for a white garment. We just need to be very careful taking care of them. Even after, you can always rock it as a Dirty White piece lol!

Combinacion de zapatos y cartera Marron & Marron. No siempre ellos tienen que ser el mismo color, pero cuando se hace no hay pierde smile emoticon Miren otra manera como vesti este mismo juego, aqui

Brown & Brown shoe & bag combination. They don't always have to match, but there is no failure when they share a similar hue smile emoticon Check out how I wore this combo before, here


Y hablando de otra cosita, cuando bajan su arbolito de Navidad? jjii Creo que en el fondo siempre quise tener un cumple Blanco Invernal con brillos de la Navidad jeje.. Este fin de semana estare bajandolo :(


On another note, when do you guys take down your Christmas Tree? I think deep down I have always wanted to have a Winter Wonderland Sparkly Christmasy Birthday hehehe...I'm taking it down this weekend :(

Vegan Dish :: Spicy Olive Pasta


One of my goals this year is to maintain a healthier diet. This meal experiment is my first attempt and I think it came out really well.
Here's  a healthy and vegan dish I threw together.

  1.  Choose your favorite pasta
  2.  While the water for the pasta is boiling start cutting your vegetables
  3.  I quickly sauteed some garlic and onions
  4. Then I added the olives (the theme flavor)
  5. Then I added the bell pepper
  6. And finally the brussel sprouts, rosemary and Scotch Bonnet pepper (the three strongest flavors)
  7. I added the drained/cooked pasta to the wok and mixed everything well 
*The only spice I used was salt (and the rosemary)
Don't dismiss your resources, I made this with the remaining uncooked vegetables from other meals I made this week.

Thank you so much for reading, 
I hope you like it.

My First Red Dress:: Holiday Party Look


“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”
~ Oprah Winfrey

" Saludos a un nuevo año y una nueva oportunidad para que nosotros lo hagamos bien ".
~ Oprah Winfrey


Español
Feliz Año Nuevo!!!! Como lo estan pasando estos primeros dias del 2015. Por lo visto llegamos desilusionados ya que no tenemos patinetas voladoras, o pizzas deshidratadas, autos que vuelan, ropa que se autoseque, pero al menos tenemos TV pantallas planas ;)
Y ahora hablando del atuendo: A que no saben, este es mi primero vestido rojo!!!! Te imaginas? Asi es, es mi primer vestido rojo. Creo que toda mujer deberia de tener al menos uno. Ahora tengo en mi lista tener otro que lo pueda vestir en la vida diaria (como para salir con mi esposo <3 )
Lo combine con tacones de color piel, abrigo camel y carterita negra. Esos colores siempre se ven lindos juntos. Use un abrigo grande ya que esa noche hacia mucho frio. Quizas este look se hubiera visto mas lindo si vestia abrigo negro o mas corto, pero opte por este ya que me abrigaba mejor. Oh! Era una fiesta de mascaras, y esta la compre en Etsy.com. 
*Chequea aqui como vesti este abrigo Celebracion de Fin de Año anterior*

Happy New Year!!! How is your year so far? As we can see we meet this year a bit disappointed because we don't have any flying cars, hover boards, dehydrated pizzas, or self drying clothes, but we do have flat screen TVs ;)
And now about the look: Can you believe this is my first ever red dress!!! Yeah, that's right. I believe every woman should own at least one. I think I'm going to get a second one so that I can use it for everyday life or to go out with my husband.
I styled it with nude high heels, camel coat and black studded clutch. Those colors look good together. I went for this coat since it was bigger and kept me warm, though I think it would have looked better with a black coat. What do you think?. Oh! and about the masquarade, that was the theme for the holiday party. I got it at Etsy.com.
*Check out how I wore this coat for the previous year's holiday party, here*

Animate a poner juntos esos zapatos delicados/sexy con una cartera que tenga caracteristicas duras, como esta carterita que tiene tachuelas/craneo y cuero negro o cuerina. Agregar un toque de imbalance puede ser sofisticado.
____________________

Pair those delicate/sexy heels with a bag that has strong feautures like studs/spikes/skulls/black leather. Adding a touch of "unbalance" can be sophisticated.
