I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. May this day be full of abundant happiness, joy and blessings. I may sound like a record on repeat but I love the holidays. Little miss me can’t get enough of Christmas music, drinking white peppermint mocha, building gingerbread houses, decorating the tree, making Christmas cards, wrapping and unwrapping presents. Another thing I really enjoy about Christmas is the parties and family gatherings.

Now, talking about Christmas parties this season brings with it lots of glitter, sequins and lace for holiday attire. Dressing up for holiday parties is so much fun. Nothing shouts “Santa is coming to town” like a cute lace red dress. This beautiful dress has holiday fun and cheer written all over it. Fashionably celebrating Christmas became effortless by showing off my feminine style at seasonal soirees with this gorgeous dress. This Zuleyka dress is one of many festive dresses for women, perfect for those holiday occasions. If you want to be the guest with the most glam in a modern formal dress, check out all the options available at Kress stores or kress online.

Maxi Kind of Day

December 19, 2014December 22, 2014

I love a good printed maxi but finding the right dress can be a bit hard. Honestly, most of the ones I’ve seen look very cheap but I finally got lucky. This particular maxi is very comfortable, super chic and easy to style. Besides its easy flow and stylish comfort, it’s very versatile. The entire look can be changed just by altering the accessories. If you’re going for a more casual boho look, flat sandals will best suite you. For a more glamorous look; adding heels, a statement necklace and fashionable wristlet take you from boho casual to classic beauty. Although maxis are pretty pricey, this one by “Zuleyka for Kress” is very affordable. You can find it at Kress Stores or shop online at www.shopkress.com

Twirling Dress

December 15, 2014

Black dresses are appropriate for any occasion. You can never have too many LBD in your closet. I have defined this beautiful dress as the “twirling dress”. Even though I may have seemed like a crazy lady I did a lot of twirling in this dress. Seriously, can you blame me? This dress is effortlessly sexy. Your probably wondering where it’s from, well this beauty is one more fab item from Zuelyka’s 2015 collection available at Kress.

For accessories I played around with the volumes of colors simply by adding a fringed white and black statement Qüero clutch and hot red ankle boots. The red, white and black color combo is a hot trend right now. Combing red with black and white brightens up the look.

Onto another exciting note, I’m very thrilled with my new hair look. Ombre is currently one of the hottest hair color trends. The variety of this trend can be seen in many magazines, runways and on celebrities. My hair now transitions from dark brown to a soft caramel tone. My stylist at JC Salon did an amazing job giving me this natural looking ombre style. If you want this Ombre look you can contact JC Salon at (787) 638-3472. As the New Year comes closer a few changes in style are always a good idea.

Little Burgandy Dress

December 12, 2014December 15, 2014

Today I’m sharing an adorable little number by “Zuleyka for Kress” another piece of Zuleyka Rivera’s 2015 collection. I’m a dress-aholic during the holiday season. I love wearing a range of styles and this cute burgundy dress has me obsessed. That lacey crochet detailed neckline makes this dress very sophisticated and girly. I added a skinny belt to help accentuate my waist which provided a sexier silhouette.

Now for shoes, because animal print is a huge staple and since I was going for a very feminine vibe I decided to add leopard print heels. To me, leopard is a neutral and these pumps paired perfectly with this dress adding more elegance to the look. This is certainly a very lovely holiday attire.

Finding the Perfect Jeans

December 10, 2014December 12, 2014

As a petite women it can be very difficult for me to find jeans that fit well and are fashionable. So, when you come across jeans that seem like they were made just for you, it’s VERY exciting. I’m absolutely thankful for actress and beauty queen Zuleyka Rivera’s new clothing collection for Kress 2015. “Zuleyka for Kress”, as the official collection is called, not only distinguishes in unique and trendy pieces but also includes different jean styles.

When I saw these fabulous high waisted skinny jeans I was a bit nervous they wouldn’t fit but when I tried them on I completely fell in love! These jeans fit like a second skin hugging and sculpting the body. They also happen to be very comfortable due to their stretchy material which is also a major plus on my list.

Even though jeans are usually dressed for casual looks, Zuleyka’s trendy jeans paired with the lace and pearl embroidered blouse also part of the collection, make this casual style seem high fashion and chic.

What’s more to love, every outfit piece is very affordable and won’t break your bank into pieces. My darlings, you can find these exclusive pieces only at Kress stores. If you don’t live in Puerto Rico, don’t worry, “Zuleyka for Kress” can also be purchased online at shopkress.com

It’s my birthday, I’m officially 29. I can’t believe it, 29 sounds old but thank God I don’t look my age. This year has been an amazing eventful and busy year. My senses tell me that this next year is going to be even better than the last. Another year of life is certainly something to celebrate especially when you have so much to be grateful for. There are various ways to commemorate birthdays whether it’s by enjoying a simple dinner out with family or by throwing a huge festive bash. However it is I celebrate it’s mostly important that I spend this special day with loved ones and that there’s a delicious cake to devour. As a birthday girl you should feel and look like a princess so I wore a gorgeous fancy lace bead chiffon dress with nude strappy sandals. This is a very extravagant and classy look that reminds me of Kate Middleton’s style. By the way, if you’re planning a birthday party, wedding or any major event you should definitely check out Comfort Inn & Suites Levittown’s fabulous ball room. It’s the perfect setting to celebrate any special event. They provide all the services you need to make your dream day come true from decoration to catering; aside from the fact that they can also coordinate every detail of your very special event. I’ve celebrated a couple of festivities there and they’ve all been splendid. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you all for making this birthday very special. Your constant support has meant so much to me. This is actually the 2^nd birthday we celebrate together and I truly feel honored to have amazing readers and friends like you!
