Mommy, Mom, Mother

Happy Mother's Day my Dears!!

I was inspired by this idea of how a woman develops in style as her role evolves as well...When she has toddlers the need to be comfortable to run after the little ones is essential and its that time when all she hears all day is Mommy Mommy Mommy! Ha-ha :D I know many of my friends are in that phase right now...Then when the kids become more independent she recovers some freedom and goes back to loving the heels a little more often again, that is the Mom phase :) (also our gifts for Mother's Day have to evolve of course!)... And then when we are adults is when we call her MOTHER and also luckily is when we can afford to give her gifts like that special trip she never took when she was taking care of us ♥

So, to all the Mommys, Moms, and Mothers, God bless you for quitting your heels for us for a while, for forgiving our chocolate stains in your ivory cashmere sweater, and for more than often choosing to buy rollers skates for us instead of that cute bag for yourselves! ♥♥♥

HAPPY DAY!!!

Love

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

Office Toast & 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!!! :)

ESSENTIALS #1: Leather Pencil Skirt

Hello Dears!

This is the first of a series of posts I'll be doing with specific garments that can kick any wardrobe up a notch ;)  We all have heard about “The Basics”, you know black blazer, white button down shirt, etc, my intention is to bring you "The Essentials" (wonderful items that add ESSENCE! to our closets) things that can take us from Basic Girl to a Fashionable One! :) Sometimes we want to stand out but we are also smart about our budgets and obviously we want to optimize our clothing as much as possible so I am showing you 3 ways that today’s item can serve many purposes, that way you are not buying a “one occasion garment” :) 

The LEATHER PENCIL SKIRT it’s a wonderful alternative that adds edge and personality to an outfit, not to mention that it's so NOW since we've seen the leather trend all over, since last year. There are different options and price ranges and here are a few options if you decide to give this Essential a try ;) :

$ Sears $29 USD
$$ ASOS $86 USD
$$$ Nordstrom $137 USD
$$$$ Net-a-porter $1533 USD
