Fall in Puerto Rico? Transitioning seasons is kind of difficult in Puerto Rico considering the fact it’s sunny all year long. When I lived in New York for most of my life I loved transitioning my wardrobe as each season came by. It’s difficult to get use to the thought of wearing sandals, crop tops and shorts during fall. I’ve finally come to learn that even if I live on the hottest island on earth I can still enjoy falls best trends.
I’ve always been head over heels for boots so you can probably imagine my insane obsession over these suede fringed booties. I decided to style these booties with my favorite ripped jeans and a lace crop top. The ripped jeans add the perfect edge which makes the look even more eye catching and super fun for fall.
This is part of a sponsored collaboration with JCPenney and DiMe Media. However, all opinions expressed are my own.
Beauty to me means feeling like the best version of yourself. Every woman deserves to feel beautiful; whether it’s having a fragrance that makes her feel sexy and captivating, a skin care regimen that leads to flawless skin, owning the perfect lipstick shade or simply finding a relaxing escape where her every need is fulfilled. Thank goodness JCPenny has us covered with their beauty festival celebration.
Honestly speaking, walking into the beauty department of any store can be a bit overwhelming. There are so many choices and needs we have with no idea where to begin but there are many beauty experts available at JCPenny to guide us all.
For me JCPenny’s #FestivalDeBelleza (beauty festival) was a one-of-a-kind experience. First of all, I was treated with a much needed relaxing massage courtesy of Clinique. Than I was off to explore cosmetics wonderland. Every section was like a beauty 101 class. I learned so many new makeup tips and techniques. As I indulged in numerous beauty treatments I found the perfect solution for my tired eyes “Guerlain Super Aqua-Eye serum” and I also restocked on my favorite face powder “Diorskin forever compact” and “Clinique High Impact Mascara” .
JCPenny’s beauty festival extends until the 24th of October and I invite you all to experience this divine festival for yourself.
Maxi dresses are beautiful, chic, comfortable and very versatile. They are the perfect transitional piece for all pumpkin spice-latte season long. Wearing a printed maxi dress is one of my favorite ways to feel extra feminine during fall. The print and hue of this particular Pia Colors maxi beautifully reflects the tones of the autumn. For jewelry I wanted to make a bold statement with personalized Trollbeads pieces so I combined multiple bracelets. The different textures of the leather bracelet, silver bangle and the variety of beads really brought together this entire look embracing fall trends. For a touch of delicacy and a hint of glamour I wore a pearl ring.
I truly enjoy styling Trollbeads pieces. This remarkable brand allows you to design and personalize your own jewelry that way you’re chooses perfectly meet your standards and align with your personality. Be sure to check out Trollbeads website to create your own personalized styles.
Farewell summer and welcome fall! When I think about fall the first thing that comes to mind is Pumpkin Spice Latte. I want to thank my local Starbucks for letting me have my dose of Pumkin Spice Latte before it was officially launched. They always spoil me!
Seasonal transitions are always a bit tricky to dress for. Especially in the Caribbean when we have the same weather all year round; it’s either sunny and HOT or rainy and humid. Having lived in New York for most of my life I truly miss the change of seasons mainly because of all the amazing styles for each time of the year. So what’s a chica like me going to wear during this summer to fall transition; a colorful & eye-catching printed dress. This Pia Colors dress I’m wearing works great in both seasons. I paired it with wedge shoes perfect for an evening stroll.
Fall looks require versatile jewelry to add style and elegance to your outfit. You probably may have noticed my beautiful necklace and stud earrings which are part of the Trollbeads Autumn collection. These unique pieces add so much personality to autumn styles.
What are you looking forward to this fall season? I have VlogIn Fest coming up this week on Saturday September 26th. I’m looking forward to meeting you all!

Have you ever had a dream or goal you’ve never dared to achieve because of fearing failure? Maybe you dream of being a singer, a dancer, a doctor or you wish to travel the world, learn how to play the guitar, write a book and so on. Our hearts are filled with wishes and dreams, but we are paralyzed with doubt.
Perfect, we have a dream but what do we do with it? It doesn’t matter what your dreams may be you have to step out of your comfort zone, be yourself and dare to achieve great things. If I conformed and let fear stop me from reaching my goals I’d be a very unhappy and miserable person. That’s why each and every day I work hard to conquer my dreams just as famous fashion and beauty Youtuber Mariand Castrejón better known as “Yuya” has. Yuya was a shy and insecure girl until one day she dared to follow her dreams. Now, Yuya has millions of followers and is Latin America’s top video vlogger and influencer. She is an inspiration to many girls all around the world.
Checking off another goal on her bucket list alongside Cyzone Yuya has launched her first fragrance #TRUE. Yuya created this fragrance with the intention of motivating girls to be authentic, encouraging them to fight for their dreams. #TRUE by Yuya has a vivacious and delicious floral scent with a touch of sweetness. Its superb scent has me mesmerized and addicted. #TRUE brings out the girlish, careless, spontaneous and energetic chica in me. This gem possesses an unforgettable quality which lingers and accentuates femininity. Not to mention its pink vase packaging is very cute and chic. #TRUE has quickly become my favorite fragrance.
Yuya motivates everyone to be #TRUE. You too can achieve great things only if you try and believe in yourself. What are you waiting for? Take a leap of faith, pursue your dreams and be yourself every step of the way. Do you dare to be #TRUE?
Be You, Be Lovely,

On Saturday September 12th the 7th edition of BloggerCon was held at the University of Turabo in Gurabo Puerto Rico titled “Let’s Do It”. BloggerCon Puerto Rico is a must-attend conference for all local bloggers. It’s the ultimate event for acquiring skills, tips, resources to better your blog and learn how to work with brands. There is a ton of opportunities for networking where you can meet bloggers, agents and brand Reps.
Having attended my fair share of BloggerCon events in the past years I can definitely testify it’s the ideal place to grow as a blogger.
This year my presence at the event was a bit different mainly due to the fact that instead of being an attendee I was a speaker. During this 7th edition the cyber world of the fashion bloggers was introduced. I had the extraordinary honor of being part of a fashion blogger panel where I shared my experience and gave tips covering the theme “Reaching the Fashion Blog Trend”. During this panel session I was accompanied by fellow bloggers The Trend Oven, Loydi Carrion, Charlotte BellaFab & SustyleTV. Our panel host was model & TV host Mimi Pabon. It was a tremendous honor to have been given this opportunity to share my journey as a fashion blogger. A few other speakers and panelist at the event were Manny Ruiz and Angela Suistaita-Ruiz founders of Hispanicize, Mauricio Ojeda Manager of Youtube Alliances , Jessi Langsen from Hill+ Knowlton Strategies, La Mafia PR and Clarisse Céspedes of Baby Center. I want to especially thank Jose Hernandez Falcon for year after year giving his all in providing the best for all local bloggers through this amazing conference he has created. Jose, because of you bloggers are finally being recognized in Puerto Rico and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Now onto another important detail; my outfit. Ok, because I was going to be a speaker it was very important for me to look cute but mainly feel comfortable. Let me be real, I was terrified of speaking in front of a huge crowd of influential bloggers. Being the complete klutz that I am there was no way in the world I was going to wear high heels to walk on the stage where most likely I was going to trip over my own feet and fall flat on my face. So for shoes a pair of ankle booties with a small and comfy heel where my best option. Whenever I have a major event I never go crazy looking for an outfit I just call my friend and designer of PIA COLORS who always has fabulous designs for me to wear. The lovely dress I wore proves that fact. When my eyes made contact with this beautiful dress I instantly fell in love and knew it was the one.
I now leave you with all the BloggerCon pictures.
Be lovely & be you!!
Charlene Gonzalez
