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!

Cozy Meets Chic

November 26, 2014

The Holiday craze is among us. There is so much busyness leading up to Christmas. I wanted to take this opportunity to share another of my fashion looks. Unfortunately the Caribbean weather tends to keep me away from warm winter trends I love like scarves, gloves, and beanies. When the sunny weather turns into endless mild chilly rainy days I take full advantage by wearing a cute beanie. For this outfit I wore a peasant top with burgundy skinny jeans paired with cream colored pumps complementing the beanies cream shade. I completed this look by accessorizing with a Qüero clutch, a holiday must-have. This is definitely a holiday outfit staple look.

Fill me in on the details, what are your plans for Thanksgiving?

Thanks for reading

Love, xoxo

Review: Vive Hermosa “Diva Complex”

November 21, 2014

When it comes to my hair I’m extremely overprotective. I tend to stay away from products with harsh formulas and gravitate towards organic brands but finding a brand I trust is difficult. Let’s be real, living in a tropical island tends to frizz hair no matter the texture. Battling the effect of humidity on my hair was difficult until I discovered the incredible organic hair care brand “Vive Hermosa”. I’m obsessed with their special hair care set “Diva Complex” rich in minerals and oils. Thanks to these great products I now have perfect hair.

The Diva Complex Kit includes a unique keratin treatment which defrizzes and smoothes hair sealing spilt ends. “Vive hermosa” shampoo and conditioner maintain hair clean, nurtured and healthy. The kit’s conditioning spray and cream continue to provide endless shine and luxurious frizz-free hair. “Vive Hermosa” is a miracle worker.

Cuando de mi cabello se trata tiendo a ser un poco sobreprotectora. Me mantengo lejos de productos que contengan formulas severas y tiendo acercarme hacia marcas orgánicas pero encontrar una línea confiable es difícil. Honestamente vivir en una isla tropical crea frizz en el caballo no importando su textura. Batallar el efecto de la humedad en el pelo era imposible hasta que descubrí la gran línea orgánica “Vive Hermosa”. Estoy muy obsesionada con el kit “Diva Complex” rico en minerales y aceites. Gracias a estos productos ahora luzco cabello perfecto.

El kit “Diva Complex” incluye una keratina única la cual desparece el frizz, suaviza y sella el cabello quebradizo. El shampoo y acondicionador mantiene el cabello limpio, nutrido y saludable. El rociador (Brillo Acondicionador y Reparación Capilar) provee un brillo duradero mientras la crema para el Tratamiento y Mantenimiento ayuda a conservar un cabello lujoso libre de frizz. “Vive Hermosa” realmente hace milagros.
