LAZY-CHIC

Hey Dears!

So, its Saturday Morning, you have to take out your pet and you don't want to go out on the streets looking like a public enemy for the eyes ha-ha but you don't want to spend more than 10 minutes getting ready...This is what I call Lazy-Chic, this option alouds you to just "slide" into the outfit, if you don't want to do your hair you can just disguise it under this really cool hat and the touch of chicness really is all about the accessories, starting with this Tory Burch Crossbody Wallet (available  HERE) which is a super practical option to carry your credit cards in case you need to do some grocery shopping on your way back and also of course to have your doggie bags handy ;)

The sunnies I cannot even begin to tell you how serious of crush I have!!!♥♥♥ This are Tierry Lasry and the model is called Orgasmy :D I mean this people really know what they are talking about!! If you are interested in them you can get them HERE

Well, that's all for today but thanks as always for taking the time and stopping by!

THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT...

Hi Dears!

Today's post is in answer to a fabulous request and suggestion that I am so grateful for, because I cannot even start telling how much I loved putting all this together! :D

People that now me, know how far I have gone for my love to Morrissey's Music up on to the point of traveling all by myself over 5,000 Kilometers with the sole purpose of watching the man dressed up in a tuxedo performing at the Carnegie Hall!!! Maybe some day I will tell you the story about that unforgettable experience and how NYC chew me up and spit me down!! Haha :D

But now, let's talk style...This Morrissey Fan has evolved from her teenage years, she doesn't go to the concert in Converse sneakers, she changed them for an amazing pair of Schutz booties and instead of the clear wayfarer glasses that Steven AKA "Mozza" made famous, she has a less literal version in pink (love them!). Also, I wanted to show what she would wear after the concert ;) so I put her in show stopper heels and added an amazing flower print faux-leather jacket :) because we all know the link between flowers and The Smiths right? haha :D and also the flowery details come perfect for spring and as we saw on Fashion Week they will come even stronger for Fall!

 If you like the jacket click HERE it's on SALE ladies ;)  and if you want to listen to one of my favorite songs of all time enjoy HERE

Ok, well this has been a blast, hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Thanks for stopping by!

CARNE ASADA!!

Hi Dears,

Sorry for the delay, with so many weather changes I got sick last week but as always trying to look at the positive :) that served as inspiration for this post. While I was coughing and sneezing all I kept wishing was for SPRING to come!!! Longer afternoons, 8:00PM dawns …I mean what’s not to love! Or as in my culture happens time for Carnes Asadas!! Yeah!!! Get the meat, the "guac", the grill ready, some Coronas ;) and we are R-E-A-D-Y!!!!

Carne Asada is the equivalent or similar to a BBQ , so what to wear? As it is an informal affair you can definitely do a cute look with jeans, a flowery top to honor the season (notice that I've choose a peplum one as you will need extra room after all the tacos and Coronas!! Haha), I also paired this with wedges for comfort and a crossbody bag as you will need your two hands free to hold your tacos with one and your beer with the other :D And of course as I always think, do your hair very cute and voila. I want to particularly address the hair situation as it was instilled in me by my mother, that no matter what you are wearing if you have your hair properly done you are halfway to looking spectacular ;)

I promise not to leave for this long again.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

LONDON CALLING

Hello Dears...

...And Today the "Dears" really apply! :) As you remember, I have a post about what I would wear if I lived in Rome, New York and this time, honoring London's Fashion Week, I thought of transporting myself like I do in my "fashion dreams" to the UK's Capital!

Top of the Line Fabulousness! including weather friendly clothes and accessories that add a little bit of punk (which you know I love ♥) ...I couldn't leave out our cup of tea :) and the very light glass on our aviators that aloud us to still wear sunnies even in foggy London ;D

Hope you enjoy,
and for today...Cheers!!

ESSENTIALS #3: The Graphic Tee

Hi Dears,

The next Essential that you should always have in your closet is a Graphic Tee. It is important to have one that serves many purposes, so in order to make a good investment think about 3 things:

Quality: Tee’s are normally not dry cleaned or demand any sort of special care to them, so when choosing yours, go for one that is good quality even if you think that you are paying a little above of what you’ve normally pay for a tee, believe me it will pay off when you throw this in the washer and dryer and have the garment intact after many many uses. A poor quality garment can have stitches pulling out, can shrink in a horrible way or just loose its shape after a few cycles…then your investment would go to the trash…not cool  ;)

Boldness: You want to keep in mind you should be able to pair it with different type of garments, pretty much everything from jeans, to trousers, to skirts etc.. so it is important that your print does not scream “too crazy” and this would be the best way to assure that you will get the most out of one piece.

Appropriateness: I know we are in the Era of “Cropped” haha AND I agree Cropped Tops look extremely girly and flirty, BUT, if you think about wearing this for an example for a night in the town or with a tuxedo type suit for an evening formal engagement, a normal length tee would be the best  option since a cropped one would take away any kind of sophistication from your outfit making it look to young perhaps.

Here's the link for the one I use for this post ;) 

Thank You as always

Feeling Gooood!!

Hey Dears!

Feeling Good? I can imagine that I am not the only one that once in a while haves one of those mornings, those terrible mornings where you wake up, look at the mirror and say: "Oh My Gosh I look like I got into a fight with Pacquiao!!!" hahaha. Your skin is not having the best morning, your hair just won't cooperate, you try all the things in your closet, even your favorite outfits for god's sake! and still you don't feel your best....:( What I do in those days? I dress all in BLACK! :) 

Yeap, since I was a little girl I loved black, and let's stop for a minute and think that I grew up in a time where black was not a common color for kids to wear, not at all, there was no animal print for children, or anything like it, so imagine my mother's face when I was 6 and told her I wanted all my hair bows to go to school to be BLACK!!! She thought she had Rosemarie's Baby or something! hahaha. Even a girl in my class actually asked me if I was in mourning and since I didn't knew what that word meant I replied with an insult! haha(if you're out there...sorry girl!). In my adolescence I was not gothic at all or wear black lipstick...is just, I enjoyed beautiful black clothes and accesories, they made me feel good!!! :D

Nowadays, whenever I'm having one of those mornings I dress with my favorite black garments, wear my best black sunnies, killer black shoes and just minimal jewelry and voila!!!! I feel better...actually...I FEEL GOOOOOOD!!!

The inspirational outfit today might seem a l-i-t-t-l-e OliviaNewtownJohn-ish :D but I just love feminine pieces mixed with rocker ones, so leather pants with lace peplum! Hello!!!♥♥♥

Well, I just shared one corky thing about me and I will invite you to try it on one of those days, who knows maybe it works for you too ;) the only cardinal rule here is: THEY ALL HAVE TO BE FABULOUS PIECES!!! Black yoga pants, and shapeless t-shirts DON'T count!

Thanks for stopping by...means the world :)

Lines I Love!!! ♥

Hello Dears,

I've missed you :) This time on "Lines I Love" I want to share with you about: ZARA.

So, this store has been one of my favorites for many many years, first time I visited this store was in 1991 (please DO NOT DO THE MATH! ;)) an addict was born! and since then, their garments have rotate in my wardrobe with lasting grace and endurance ha-ha...I kid you not, I have skirts and blouses I bought literally 10 years ago and I still get compliments about them! That is the beauty of ZARA, they very successfully achieve collections that are current and very "NOW" and at the same time deliver items that can last you a long time without looking dated.

Now, quality and budget wise it is important to point out that my beloved has different lines within the brand: ZARA WOMAN, ZARA BASIC and TRAFALUC also known as TRF. WOMAN has the most exquisite cuts with more of an adult appeal and it is easy to figure that it's meant for the career woman that has a a bigger wallet if you know what I mean...BASIC has the garments that are a "must" for all kinds of styles and appeals to a wide range of tastes, this include both essential layering pieces and also the "off the moment" items that are affordable and very often mimic what we've seen on the runways but for a much more affordable price and in a "toned down" interpretation :) Last but not least TRF, which is the younger face of the brand, on this one the hems are much more shorter, the cuts are way more edgier and it is dedicated to a younger crowd...which means that on terms of cost this is the "low end" option but in no way less fabulous than the other two ;)

As you can see I'm a Lover and if you have questions about this brand please let me know, I consider myself an expert and I proudly can say that I've been in ZARAS from 7 countries and I spent most of my 20's income in them!! I think that if shopping was like the army...this would make me...a ZARA LIUTENANT GENERAL!! At the very least!! :D

Thank You as always for stopping by!!!
