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

Birthday Girl

December 8, 2014

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! Love you all xoxo ~Charlene Outfit: Lace Bead Dress- Sheinside / Shoes-JCPenny Photos by: Xavier Alvarez

Faux Fur, Lace & Leather for the Holidays

December 5, 2014

I am so happy; my birthday is on Monday so this weekend is to celebrate the blessing of another year of life. To begin my celebration I want to share an outfit which is definitely my favorite holiday look so far.

How amazing does the combination of faux fur and lace look? Absolute perfection right!

Instead of wearing jackets or blazers, a vest is the perfect way to layer up. On the top of my birthday wish list are faux fur vests. I want to own various colors, they are so fashionable and you can wear them with anything.

We can all agree that this winters fashion “it” color is burgundy. I paired my burgundy fur vest with an old lace dress. You know I love leopard print so I’m crazy in love with the booties I paired to this outfit. And of course my glamorous Qüero Wine O’Clock convertible bag had to be part of this look which by the way can be used as a clutch, shoulder bag or crossbody bag. Awesome right ….. It’s perfect, who doesn’t want to own a 100% leather bag that can be worn in so many ways?!

Does anyone have ideas of what I should do this birthday weekend? I’m going to be celebrating with my loved ones but I also wouldn’t mind going to a spa to distress. I’m aging to 29 years and I wouldn’t mind a massage that would leave me feeling like 20 again.

Partying with Heel Condoms

December 3, 2014

There is no other perfect way to transform any simple heel into something trendy and new than by accessorizing with Heel Condoms! Heel Condoms transform your simple and plain pumps into statement shoes becoming the center of attention of any outfit look. Make a fashion statement by rocking heel condoms. These innovative shoe accessories are designed by Sandrysabel Ortiz, Puerto Rican business woman who took a daring journey into the fashion world and has become a hot Latin sensation.

Each and every design is unique, chic and creative, for instance I’m wearing the Winter Flower Heel Condom which completely changed my style into a more sophisticated and classic look. I paired my Winter Flower HC with a grey sweater and sparkly mid skirt for a dinner party, trust me my shoes were the focus of the night. If you’re still unsure what to give the ladies in your life for Christmas Heel Condoms are the perfect gift! Seriously what woman wouldn’t want to own fabulous shoe jewelry?!

I love the holidays. Magic is in the air during this season. This year I’m cheering on the holidays with my diet coke and lime in hand while heel condoms beautify my shoes. Let the festivities begin!
