What to wear to VALLE DE GUADALUPE

Wineries


Wineries 2



Beer tasting



Hi Dears!!
Long time no see! I know ♥
I listened to one of the most frequent questions I get, living so close to a very important wine region...What do I wear to visit Valle de Guadalupe? Ok, I’ll explain these 3 inspos that I’m sharing with you today BUT, I’ll also tell you the most frequent faux pas I have seen on my visits to this beautiful place...

First, if you have never visited Valle or you haven't been there in a while, let me tell you it has changed and grown so beautifully!! Even though it's a day trip away if you are visiting from SoCal or a nearby area...I’d recommend that you plan for a weekend getaway and just stay at one of the boutique hotels that the area offers, which I have to say are spectacular by themselves...

Ok my friends, in our "imaginary" 3-day visit to Valle you're going to want to get there comfortably since you will probably be driving for a couple of hours...I suggest a really nice pair of printed shorts with an ultra-feminine top and super comfy pair of sandals and let’s wrap it all up with a cross body bag that-let's face it- is ALWAYS the best option for travel.

On our second day, I went a little bit fancier in my inspiration and choose a beautiful dress that looks elegant yet veryyyyy comfy and paired it with espadrilles (and we will talk about shoes in just a bit...) which are always synonymous of timeless elegance at summer time :) I also added Julie Vos jewelry, which I love because it's so unique and it adds a lot of originality to any outfit, especially when you are going for a bohemian look, one that a vineyard's visit calls for.
And last but not least, we have to think of what to wear on our way back from this viticultural dreeeeam ♥ Well, among some of the attractions that Valle offers is what is known as Glamping (yes you read that right, Glamping! Glamorous-Camping!! Here's a great example of said attraction, in case I left you thinking ;) Cabanas Cuatro Cuartos) and Craft Beer Tasting from local microbreweries! So perhaps, if you don't want to take the protagonist role from wine the other two days, you might want to check the local artisan beers before you leave ;) Obviously, this scene calls for a more relaxed look like in my third outfit suggestion...Some boyfriend jeans, a rocker-ish tank and a hat and you are ready to roll!!

Now, I said I was going to talk about shoes...The biggest mistake ladies make when visiting wineries is to wear HEELS!!! My goodness, it sounds so logical and simple yet, you would be surprised to see how many young beautiful ladies are "trying" to walk across the vineyards in 5-6 inch heels...I mean, ladies there is no way that you will be able to come out of that with dignity, I'm telling you! Ha-ha! Look, I understand that some gals want to add a few inches to their height and wouldn't be caught dead in a flat BUT, for those cases one can always wear espadrilles or a sensible wedge! But please, no "Lady-Gagaesque" platforms are needed for the wine scene.

Ok my ladies, I hope that you enjoy this post and start preparing your next weekend getaway to Valle de Guadalupe, it is WORTH IT!

Thanks for stopping by :)

COMFTY ELEGANCE

CE
Hi Dears!

I have missed you!
Today I wanted to shared something inspired in this summer days of shopping and fun, I don't know about you...but I truly take my hat off for the gals that can go out and about, all around the mall wearing heels, I truly salute you if you are one! I wish I could because I can see how they come very handy when trying on some pieces that need that extra oomph...but I've made peace with the fact that I just can't go shopping in heels :) nevertheless, I do still want look put-together and elegant during my shopping adventures.

Here's a great maxi skirt with great visual impact that also offers comfort in the dressing room! all of this pieces are so easy, yet they all individually have something unique to them...the crossed & braided leather of the sandals, the stitching on this amazing Tory Burch crossbody, the saturated cobalt hue of the maxi, the open shoulder of an otherwise simple top...and the accessories oh! you know I'm a fool for accessories! ;)

Make up wise? I would love to see this with a strong lip to pump up the elegance and I would love a beachy undone wavy look or a great french braid! ♥

Well that is my idea of a comfty-elegant combo, hope you like it and wish you a great summer of shopping and fun!!

Thank You All for stopping by!

Office Toast & Christmas Party

Office Christmas Party


Hey hey! :)

Time has come for the Office Christmas Celebrations and depending of the seriousness and formality of the event I have thought of the typical scenarios that could present:

1.-Small Toast held at the office; for this you just need to be appropriate to transition from work day to celebratory elegance, this is probably the trickiest one because obviously you are not showing up at the office at 9AM wearing sequins! ha-ha, but if you keep your outfit sleek and just add a distinctive touch of shine (in this example the signature necklace) you will be just fine ;)

2.-Christmas Dinner with the colleagues at a fancy restaurant; this calls for a little more glamour but without overdoing it, I thought of this all-creme option because it screams Winter Wonderland and it will definitely set you apart from the other 15 girls from your office who will be wearing "the little black dresses"...

3.-Christmas Party at a Ballroom or Venue; this is a great opportunity to pull out the big guns, showing up looking stunning! and if you are pretty conservative with your office wardrobe and normally live in slacks and button-downs, this is the chance to shock everybody at the party with an ultra-feminine ballroom-worthy dress!!! In the one I've chosen you could dance all night long and literally be the Belle of the Ball!!! :)

Thanks for stopping by!!!
