ESSENTIALS: Summer White Dress Perfection

Hey Dears!

I think we all have those non-stop days that make us nervous, because we know we will be moving from appointment to appointment throughout the day and we're not going to have that much time to change. Today's essential is THE perfect option, stay in the same dress and just change the accessories and voila!

A White Dress like this just HAS to be in your closet, its a maxidress so it has some sophistication implicit to it, I love the fit and V-neck, its very flattering to almost all body types + white is a universally flattering color :)

When looking for this essential on your next shopping trip, the main thing you have to check for is a quality fabric! The secret to a great looking white dress is the softness of the material, therefore a stiff fabric or one that easily wrinkles will not be the best investment, you either can go for a great jersey that has some good weight to it or silk, any of this two would be the safe way to go.

Below you can find the exact same dress I use for inspiration and two other options in different price ranges:

$$$$ NORMA KAMALI

$$$ Zappos
 
$$ Nordstrom

Enjoy shopping and thanks for stopping by!!

EFFORTLESS

Hello Dears!

I know we all have those days where you really wake up not in the mood to glam it up, not in the mood to be supercolorful but you still have to look polish and put together because you have that bussiness lunch you just can't cancel or that meeting with a friend in a very social spot where you know you're gonna bump into acquantances and people in your circle that are part of your professional life and you must pay a little effort without the effort haha...In those cases the answer is NEUTRALS!! Oh yes !!

Put them together and just pair with a detail of neutrals that pop like this Michael Kors Clutch that is really what pulls everything together!  You can get it HERE !

I think this is sexy, feminine and definitely demure enough to say: "That girl didn't try too hard but darn it she looks goooood!!!! :D

I hope you recreate this soon in one of those mornings...

Thanks for stopping by!

WORLD CUP: Fan or Supporter?

Hi Dears!

As you know the Soccer World Cup is being celebrated and this post its answering to a request you had about what to wear to support your teams. I think as girls we find ourselves in one of this two scenarios that affect our fashion choices:

1. We are proud and devoted fans and we even have the official shirts to prove it :) we are definitely following all the games and our working schedule alouds for us to join our friends at a local sports bar or house get-together to cheer, scream and drink on the name of our team!!

2. We hate soccer (or all sports for that matter) and wouldn't be caught dead in a soccer jersey!! (augh) BUT still feel kind of patriotic and want to at least show a little of that pride in a more sophisticated manner ;)

Well, I hope you like the options I have put together for you and good luck sporting your chic looks :)

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!

Damage Control

Hi Dears!

So, let's face it...In the next couple of weeks we will surrender to a sea of yummy holiday foods, desserts and more :), this is the one time of the year when we look forward to visiting our love ones and taste all the wonderful delicacies that are part of our cultures :) The one thing though, that we don't look forward to, is the aftermath ha-ha meaning the few pounds that we will probably be gaining, and I say if it's in the name of the holidays SO BE IT! :D But, while "things" go back to normal and we can fit into our skinny jeans again, we need some "Damage Control" Options to look cute and pulled together and here are two that will give us a comfortable fit while still showing we care ;) 

I don't know about you but a floral dress and well manicured hands always make me feel good and pretty no matter what :D

Thanks for stopping by!!!

New Yorker

Hi Dears,

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am NYC obsessed, on a past post I shared with you how would I go to work if I lived in Rome...Well, today I am showing you how would I do it in my beloved New York. I think anyone who has been in this majestic city cannot help this thought: Would I live in NYC? How would my life be here? There is just something about the Big Apple that makes you want to be a part of it!!! Sinatra was right on spot!!! ;D

Obvious to say, the start of my inspiration for this one was the quintessential NYC Cab.

Thanks for stopping by!
