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 ;)

TRENDS: Rompers & Jumpsuits

Hello Dears,

As you might notice this two babies are back! Rompers & Jumpsuits and I couldn't be happier :) When putting an outfit together they are just an easy and comfortable choice, and I don't know what it is about them, maybe the combination of masculine and feminine, but they just make me feel sexy whenever I wear them...The only down side to them is honestly... the visits to the ladies room! ;) (I know you get me), nonetheless I'm very willing to pay the price because I just can get enough of them! ♥

As you can see I'm showing here some examples on how they are R&J for any occasion, day to night, casual to formal...but there are a few considerations to make when buying yours: 

FIT: It is all about the fit! Consider that, since this garments are made on one piece they are probably not going to fit like a glove because there are so many angles to consider and it's not as easy as fitting in a blouse, in this garment you are trying to accommodate ALL the angles of your body at once! :) So please be patient and don't discard the tailoring option if you find one that you just have to have! :D

PRINT: When choosing a printed one, pay attention to the loudness of the print! One that its to busy or big and you might go from fabulous to clown-land haha.Whit one-pieces, in terms of print is better be safe than sorry.

LENGTH: Particularly when buying online, consider your height and check the specification of the garments very carefully. I know we welcome the idea of doing a little tailoring here and there but there are things that are just not worth the trouble and might end ruining the piece, and one of the height related issues are inseams, so keep this in mind and avoid surprises by measuring your self first ;)

Ok my Dears, I hope you enjoy this summery jewel of a trend and thanks so much for your visit! ;)

TRENDS: Artsy Abstract Prints

Hi Dears,

This is a summer trend that I really dig!! :) I’ve always been a prints lover and this trend of mixing artsy and abstracts motifs is just making me so happy. Some may think its too loud and wouldn’t dare to try it so that is why I put together some options depending on the loudness of the print :

LEVEL 1: The pants have a low impact print, black and white so you can’t go wrong and really a safe option if you are on the shy side, I pair it with accessories that have basic lines and since its not showing leg or cleavage this is the most conservative of the three.

LEVEL 2: On top of the black and white, we invited blue into the mix for a medium loudness print, that looks really cool with the edgy shorts and sandals and added black and white sunnies.

LEVEL 3: Ok, this is the “out there” four color combo print and I love love love it, with the sky high heels in orangey-red and black and the mint and black clutch, this is a showstopper outfit no doubt about it :)

As a bonus and because nothing can get more artsy than nails, I added the always great Butter London shades that go perfect with the inspiration :)

So, which one you like the most?

As always thank you 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!

TRENDS: I Heart to Heart

Once in a while comes a print that just becomes...how can we say?...VIRAL! :)

In 2003, Alexander McQueen did it with the “Skull” print when his scarves started to make an impact on the Hollywood scene and suddenly skulls went from being stigmatized as too harsh or edgy to being a symbol of status and chic!! Soon enough we started seeing the skull fabric everywhere! and the icon transcended into accessories and more…Then Dolce and Gabbana introduced the "Stars" print on their Fall 2011 Collection and again suddenly we saw the influence in more than just fabric…

This time, it was Burberry Prorsum who delivered a Fall 2013 Collection full of “Heart” both literally and figuratively :) and I think we haven’t seen all the impact of this icon yet, as time goes by we will start seeing more and more affordable versions of this inspiration and I am sharing with you 3 different options I found appealing to different budgets and tastes (Obviously the middle one is the Burberry one).

If you have questions about where to get this, please use the comment box ;)

Thank You for stopping by
