TRENDS ♥ GRID PRINT

Hello there my loves!

Ok, everyone that knows me and/or read this blog, already knows I'm a sucker for black and white combos and for those of you who think we haven't had enough of the black and white prints trending...well, here is more for us to enjoy this year... I mean lets do a quick look back in time and as we all remember we have seen so far (in chronological order) dots, stripes, plaid, artsy Pollock-like, gingham, marble and now...GRID!

I can't tell you enough how much I love this trend! It is simple, demure but bold and strong at the same time! I find this print not pretentious and flattering all around!! LOVE ♥

Here I share with you a few options that I fantasize about :)

Hope you like it and as always thank you so much for visiting ;)

COLD: SURVIVAL KIT

Ok Dears :) so I‘ve always admit I am not a cold weather lover, that is just being honest…however I don’t see why we can take advantage of this gelid days by adding a few fun wintery pieces to our wardrobe…because lets face it even though stores and retailers are pushing the spring  clothing down our thoughts already, we’re still going to have a good almost two months of cold feet, hands and ears ;)

So here is my survival kit, I included some basic amazing pieces that are practical enough to mix and match probably with half of your already acquired winter wardrobe but unique enough to add a little spice to any ensemble.

Hope you like them as much as I do and as always thank you so much for stopping by!

Sunday Affair

Hello my dears!!

I love warm weather and special ocassions! :) So today I imagined what to wear for a Sunday Affair like a baptism, a bachelorette brunch, baby shower or simply a birthday get together...Sometimes this events take place in a garden where your stilettos just WON'T perform according to plan...they stick in the grass and you end up looking uncomfortable...The obvious option is wearing wedges, BUT I found this Charlotte Olympia shoes and just adored them and since the heel is pretty wide, thought this would work :D.

And what can I say about the dress...♥♥♥ Sometimes when we have a print we try to match it exactly with everything we accessorize it with, BUT if we take chances and add a pop of color we end up with a pretty successful combo that ends up bringing even more life and interest to it!! So come on let's take some chances ladies! :D

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do....Thanks for stopping by!!

TRENDS: Good Sport?

Hey Hey :)

The Sporty Trend was demurely embraced for Fall 2013 but we are definitely going to see its full bloom during this spring...The key to pull this trend off is to mix it with sleek and sophisticated accessories that add a bit of luxe to the outfit so it doesn’t come off as you are part of a high school varsity team or going to the gym! An example of this is the re-interpretation of the classic baseball hat in leather or even Chanel Sneakers!

Since I'm SURE this will be a love or hate trend I’ve put together 3 options depending on how big of a statement you want to make with it.

I hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by!

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 :)

ESSENTIALS #2: Striped Boatneck Top

Happy New Year My Dears!!! :D

I am sorry about the absence, but as you can imagine I was enjoying a much needed break from my everyday duties and routine, now I am well rested, happy and ready to start this year with new adventures and goals and of course with plenty to share with you all!

So lets get started with the No.2 of our Essential Pieces...The Striped Boatneck Top. I've chosen this one because it has the infallible black and white combo that pairs with almost everything so you won't feel that its an impractical investment ;) I particularly like the boatneck because it gives this piece a little bit more of sophistication than your regular crew neck tee which could be too casual for an office setting for instance...I am showing here how versatile can be also for different weather and seasons. Also for those mornings when you are running late and screaming "OMG OMG OMG-what to wear?!" it can be a real lifesaver :D

I hope you like this Essential and if you don't have it in your closet here a few options:

$ MANGO

$$ Macy's

$$$ Saks Fifth Ave.

As always thanking you for stopping by and wishing you a successful and meaningful 2014 ;)
