This is one of those outfits comprised entirely of all of my favorite colors; pink, teal and touches of gold. Warm weather converts me into a skirt and spaghetti strap fanatic.

I have to confess that I’m utterly obsessed with crochet. Crochet skirts are extremely sophisticated and delicate. This gorgeous teal crochet skirt is officially my new favorite clothing piece. My attire could not be complete without a fresh hot pink camisole.

Finally, when I think about essential heels a pair of strappy gold sandals were my choice for converting this look into complete elegance.

On another note, I’ve been watching a lot of super hero movies lately; Captain America, Spider Man & X-Men. The funny part is that I’ve been the one begging my boyfriend to see them! I’ve always been a major super hero fan. Yesterday I saw X-man:Days of Future Past which was absolutely incredible, super thumps up! My favorite actor & actress James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawrence were as usual AMAZING.

Have you seen X-men already? If so what did you think?

Este atuendo está completamente comprometido con todos mis colores favoritos el turquesa, rosa y toques de oro. La temporada de mucho calor me convierte en fanática de faldas y tirantes finos.

Les tengo que confesar que estoy totalmente obsesionado con el crochet. Las faldas crochet lucen extremadamente sofisticada y muy delicada. Esta Hermosa falda turquesas es oficialmente mi artículo de ropa preferida. Mi atuendo no pudo estar completo sin una blusa rosa de tirantes muy fresca y cómoda.

Finalmente, cuando pienso en tacones esenciales un par de sandalias oro fueron mi opción para convertir este look en uno más elegante.

En otra nota, últimamente he visto muchas películas de súper héroes incluyendo a Capitán América, El Hombre Araña y los X-Men. El chiste es que yo he sido quien le he suplicado a mi novio para verlas. Que les puedo decir, siempre he sido fanática de los súper héroes incluyendo a los Power Rangers. Ayer vi X-Men: Días del Futuro Pasado y estuvo increíble. Mis actores favoritos James McAvoy y Jennifer Lawrence estuvieron extraordinarios como siempre.

¿Han visto la nueva película de X-Men?

Patriotic Love

May 26, 2014July 27, 2014

Happy Memorial day! Today we remember and celebrate all who have sacrificed their lives for the freedom of our country. Thank you to all of our troops for serving our country with honor and pride. My thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost someone beloved during any war.

In honor of Memorial Day I enjoyed a bit of interior tourism taking a little trip to Isla de Cabras where Fort Saint John of the Cross, better known as el Cañuelo is located. El Cañuelo was the smallest fort in the harbor defense system which created crossfire protection with Fort San Felipe Morro across the bay to protect against any enemy entrance.

Isla de Cabras is an absolutely beautiful and perfect historic site to spend memorial day. Knowing the weather was going to be sunny and that Isla de Cabras is a beach location I kept my outfit very comfortable. Today’s attire consisted of shorts, “I love NY” tang top and wedge open toes shoes. I completed this look with brown neutral accessories and my American flag book bag.

How did you celebrate today?

Feliz día de la recordación! Hoy conmemoramos a todos quienes han sacrificado su vida por la libertad de nuestro país. Gracias a todos los soldados por servir a nuestro país con honor y orgullo. Mis pensamientos y oraciones están con todos quienes hayan perdido a un ser querido durante la guerra.

En honor al día de la recordación disfrute un poco de turismo interno visitando el parque nacional Isla de Cabras en donde se encuentra el Fortín San Juan de la Cruz, mejor conocido como El Cañuelo. Este pequeño fuerte está localizado en un punto estratégico frente al Fuerte San Felipe del Morra con quien creaba fuego cruzado para proteger en contra de cualquier entrada de enemigos a la bahía.

Isla de Cabras es un lugar hermoso para pasar el día de la recordación. Sabiendo que el día iba estar soleado mantuve mi ajuar bastante cómodo. Para mi atuendo lucí pantalones cortos, una camisilla gris y plataformas de lana. Complete mi “look con accesorios marón y un bulto con la bandera americana.

¿Cómo celebraste el día de hoy?

Denim Overalls

May 12, 2014July 29, 2014

Denim overalls have made a comeback in style as a chic fashion option. Overalls were originally first made for farmers and mechanics but as time has passed women have embraced this trend converting it into sexy and sophisticated fashion. The Denim overall look is a very stylish laid back a boy-meets-girl look.

My overalls are super classy. I love that they are very tight and waist high with denim bow details. The best part is that they were very inexpensive costing only $15 at Sirens. Sticking to an urban chic glam I added a flower crop top underneath. In completion of my look I wore the perfect option for footwear with my bongo suede wedge heels.

This outfit is altogether comfortable and chic. You can’t go wrong wearing denim overalls.

Los jumper de mahón nuevamente han regresado a la moda como otra alternativa chic. Esta pieza originalmente era utilizaba por granjeros y mecánicos pero al pasar el tiempo esta pieza evoluciono convirtiéndose en un estilo sensual y sofisticado para las mujeres. Este “look” con jumper es muy comodo.

Lo que más me gusta de este jumper es lo ajustado que me queda, su cintura alta y sus detalles de lazos. Lo más impresionante fue el costo económico, ya que solo costaron $15 en la tienda Sirens. Para agregarle un toque de femenidad urbana le añadí una camisa floral debajo del jumper. Complete mi atuendo con zapatos wedge de Bongo.

Este atuendo es muy cómodo y chic. Seleccionar un jumper para complementar tu estilo no te desilucionará.

#BringBackOurGirls

May 7, 2014July 29, 2014

On April 15th, nearly 300 young school girls were kidnapped from the Chibok Government Secondary School by Boko Haram Terrorists in Nigeria. All girls are still missing.

Human trafficking is a horrible reality occurring in our world. Women and children are kidnapped to be raped, prostituted and even killed to have their organs sold.

This tragedy brings me back to a time when I was merely an innocent child walking home from school. On my short journey I was nearly kidnapped by a young man. This story is long but I’m going to keep it short . When this man tried to grab me and put me in his vehicle I ran away like Speedy Gonzalez until I reached my home screaming, crying and almost knocking down the door. My mother opened in horror as she heard me screaming “help a man wants to take me”! That was a pretty traumatic situation for me as I child and I thank God nothing occurred. God only knows what would of happened to me if that man would have taken me.

Thats why I put myself in the place of all those innocent girls who are living in hell at this precise moment. Help me pray for these girls and their families who are suffering greatly. Let’s all spread awareness so they could be found and human trafficking can be stopped!

Spread awareness by using the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls on all of your social media sites. Let’s all join forces to make a change.

Met Ball Fashion Favorites

May 7, 2014June 18, 2014

May 5th marked the grand celebration of the Met Ball at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. This is the best annual red carpet fashion event where international celebrities and icons strut their best look. The Met Ball is the Oscars of fashion. Personally I was completely blown away by three chica’s who looked absolutely perfect; Blake Lively, Selena Gomez and Rachael McAdams.

Blake Lively took me back in time to glamorous vintage Hollywood. Her gorgeous barrel curls went elegantly with her dazzling gold Gucci gown. Blake was a perfect classic beauty and without a doubt she was best dressed at the Met Ball.

Selena Gomez took glamour and elegance to a whole new level. She looked absolutely stunning wearing a gorgeous purple Diane von Furstenberg dress with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. For makeup Selena wore dark berry lips and for her hair she had a very sophisticated romantic updo. Selena pulled off a very elegant look.

Rachael McAdams looked very pretty in a pale pink Ralph Lauren gown. This simple dress went very well with her short strawberry blonde hair. Rachael looked picture perfect.

I loved the styles these chic’s wore they are definitely my favorite looks of the night. Who do you consider wore the best look to the Met Ball?

El 5 de mayo fue la gran celebración del Met ball en el Museo Metropolitano de arte de Nueva York. Este es el evento de alfombra roja número uno en el mundo de la moda dónde se dan cita las celebridades más importantes para lucir su mujer vestuario. El Met Ball es los Oscars de la moda. Específicamente hubo tres chicas que en mis criterios lucieron absolutamente perfectas, ellas fueron Blake Lively, Selena Gomez y Rachael McAdams.

Selena Gomez llevó el glamour y la elegancia a otro nivel. Ella lució absolutamente impresionante llevando un hermoso vestido violeta de Diane von Furstenberg con prendas de Lorraine Schwartz . En maquillaje Selena lució labios oscuros con el peinado recogido creando un look muy sofisticado. Selena deslumbró en hermosura y elegancia.

Blake Lively me llevó atrás en el tiempo recordando el viejo glamuroso Hollywood. Los rizos en su pelo lucieron perfectamente con su deslumbrante vestido oro de Gucci. Blake fue una belleza clásica y sin lugar a duda la mejor vestida de la noche.

La bella Rachael McAdams sobresalió en un hermoso vestido rosa palido de Ralph Lauren. Este vestido simple le lucio muy bien con su cabello corto color rubio. Rachael lució una imagen perecta.

Me fascinó el estilo de estás chicas para está gran noche. Quién consideras que fué la mejor vestida del Met Ball?

Hello Chicas!

I think this might just be my favorite casual combination. There’s no better outfit than one with bright happy colors. These turquoise/teal corduroy pants are very stylish. Pairing these pants with a laced coral blouse created a very cute and girly look. My flats matched perfectly with my clothes. I added gold and turquoise accessories which included my beautiful statement necklace and my steve Madden tote. I wore this outfit for a movie date with my boyfriend, we saw Captain America and it was AMAZING!

Saludos chicas!

Creo que este podría ser mi combinación favorita para un atuendo casual. Un atuendo con colores brillantes y felices es lo mejor que puedes lucir. Este pantalón de pana color turquesa tiene mucho estilo. Emparejar estos pantalones con una blusa coral le dio un toque divertido y femenino a su vez. Mis zapatos combinan perfectamente con mi selección de ropa. Le agregué acentos oro y turquesa, los cuales pueden observar en mi collar y mi cartera de “Steve Madden”. Lucí este atuendo para una cita con mi novio. Fuimos al cine a ver Capitán América, estuvo genial!
