Cozy Meets Chic

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”

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.

Spicing Up Plaid

Plaid has been popping up everywhere in the fashion world, it’s definitely all the rage this fall.  Plaid is a mixture of classic vintage and 90’s grunge. It can be styled in endless ways but I opted for an effortless cool street chic vibe by tucking my shirt into high waisted skinny jeans. The simple yet chic black pumps polish up the look. There is no better way to complete this look than by accessorizing with a Metallic oversized Qüero clutch and Sam Qüero Quff which adds sophistication and glam.  Qüero designs add charm and femininity to any look you wear.  This exclusive fabulous clutch and cuff were created by my favorite twin sisters and designers Larissa & Linette. These chica’s love what they do which can be proved through their excellent masterpiece designs.  Qüero designs are handmade in Puerto Rico with 100% genuine.

Cozy Sweater Dress

Hurray! November has arrived which means the holiday season has officially begun. Though we should be thankful for our blessings all year round the month of November especially represents gratefulness. November also lays out a red carpet for the Christmas festivities to make their triumph entrance.  I don’t know about you, but I’m already in the holiday spirit.

During this season stylish comfort is a major plus and need in my attire.  You have to look fashionable and feel comfortable while accomplishing Christmas shopping and attending family gatherings. This outfit is so comfortable and beyond perfect for fall. I’m extremely happy with this sweater tunic dress. It’s very comfy and easy to wear. I’ll definitely be wearing it again and again. Not to mention pairing this dress with wedges makes the look trendier.

Besides Christmas shopping this month I’m going to  drink lots of pumpkin spice lattes, watch holiday movies, eat tons of sweet potatoes, listen to Christmas music and bake pumpkin pies. Watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades is also something I’ll be enjoying; it’s been a ritual since my childhood.

What are you planning on doing this month?

Thanks for stopping by!

Por fin llego noviembre lo que significa el comienzo de las fiestas navideñas. Aunque debe ser ocasión para expresar gratitud por todas las bendiciones recibidas durante el año,  pues el mes de noviembre representa la gratitud.  Casualmente el mes de noviembre extiende una alfombra roja dándole la entrada triunfar a la Navidad. No se ustedes pero dentro de mí siento el espíritu Navideño.

Durante esta temporada la comodidad y estilo son muy necesarios en mis atuendos. Tienes que lucir a la moda y sentirte cómoda mientras realizas tus compras navideñas y asistes reuniones o fiestas familiares. Este atuendo es muy cómodo y perfecto para el otoño. Estoy muy contenta con este vestido. Es cómodo y fácil de lucir.  Definitivamente lo estaré utilizando en muchas ocasiones. Vestir este traje con unas plataformas lo convirtió en un look más chic.

Además de realizar compras navideñas, este mes beberé muchos lattes de calabaza,  veré películas navideñas, escuchare mucha plena, comeré batata dulce y horneare tartas de calabaza.  También disfrutare de la Parada de Acción de Gracias, verla ha sido un ritual desde mi niñez. 

¿Que tienen planificado para este mes?

Fall Favorites

There are so many wonderful things about fall; apple picking, pumpkins, sunflowers, candy corn, warm scented candles around the house.

Let me begin by mentioning that I can’t get enough of fall accessories. My new Qüero mini clutch has become a fall necessity. It’s so perfect and can be styled with so many outfits.  Not only does it look trendy it’s purely hand made in Puerto Rico with 100% leather designed by Larissa & Linette. You can purchase your very own clutch at Brands of Puerto Rico.

Pearls, pearls, and pearls I just can’t get enough of pearls and my fabulous pearl necklace adds a touch of chic to any style combination.

I must say fall is as good a time as ever to change up your nail polish hues. Accessorizing your nails with a burgundy shade perfectly complements your autumn look. The shade “carry on” by Essie provides my nails with high-drama chicness.

I’m making a beauty statement by keeping my makeup simple and puckering my lips with Hikari’s lipstick “cabernet”. Rich bold lip colors give a glamorous and modern finish.

The sweet scent of pumpkin spice candles perfume my home and the beauty of sunflowers decor my home bringing fall to life. Pumpkins and spices are the epitome of autumn so add a sweet delicacy to your tummy granted that pumpkin spice cupcakes are the best treat for desert.

As you can see for yourself I’m definitely embracing this season so you can surely expect to see more fall inspired things on the blog. Thanks for visiting! xoxo ~Charlene
