Silver Hair

Who else is loving this hair trend? 

  

It seems, for me, that recently a lot of people are going for this look. I'm not only talking about in the blogging community or models on magazines. This last week I've seen at least like four people with silver dyed beautiful hair. I find it interesting. I never thought that I would have ever love this kind of color. Platinum blonde - yes, but silver? 

For years I've wanted to try platinum hair, just for fun and to experiment. Someday I'll make it happen and check that out of my bucket list. But all this beautiful pics are making me want to go to the hairdresser, bring one of this pictures and say "Yes, that please!. Oh, those thoughts are horrible! And just when I thought I would keep my natural hair for a while.

My Spring Must-Have Items

I always find it sad to say goodbye to winter.  I know, I know lots of you might be thinking I'm crazy. Just by looking at the weather forecasts and news from different parts of the world I might think lots of you are very excited for spring and summer to arrive. In my case, winter here in the tropical Puerto Rico is great! I'll say it's the perfect weather - not too hot and (of course) not too cold. 

But anyway I'm not here to talk about the weather, I'm here to write down a few spring clothing items I've been checking out. I did a spring-cleaning already very early in February and while I was re-organizing, I wrote down things that I needed in my wardrobe and now all I need is to hit the stores. This list is pretty much basic items to mix and match. Another thing I noticed is how many are from Zara, this post might be called as well "Zara Wish List".

LEATHER SHORTS

For months I wanted some "leather" pants/trousers or leggins. They always look nice and makes the outfit look edgy without it being too much or risky. But then comes the downside of living in a humid weather. Just by seeing it made me sweat! Every time I saw them at some store, I would pick them up, marvel at them, try them out (take a sneaky picture) and leave them there. I don't know what happened to me until now...uhhh, how about leather shorts? YES!

Options I Like: H&M Imitation Leather Shorts | Zara Faux Leather Tie-Waist Shorts

LOOSE-FITTING TOPS 
Do I need to explain? I just find them perfect. I can never stand too many fitting or tight clothes.

Options I Like: Zara Halter Neck Layered | Sleeveless Top with Pocket | Sode Cut-Out

LEATHER JACKET

There is not such thing as too much faux leather items! In reality I do need to pick up a new jacket. One I had for two years already broke down (literally, it did fall to little pieces!). I do admit it wasn't the best quality, so now I really want to make a good choice. I love how it always goes whether you want to go casual or even for an elegant night out outfit. I think it's a must in everyone's closet. Especially in mine since I tend to be kind of boring so adding a leather jacket always helped to make it a bit interesting.

Options I Like: H&M Biker Jacket | Mango Zipped Biker Jacket

KNEE-LENGTH DRESS

I just need a classic plain dress either be black or white (or both). I have way too many dresses with prints and it's kind of difficult sometimes to style. Something basic that can go with anything and anywhere. Make it more for the cut and details. I'm very into an open-back without showing too much skin. That would be nice for those coming hot days in the spring and summer. 

Options I Like: Zara Double Layer Gathered Dress | Mango Halter Neck Jumpsuit | Cut-Out Detail Dress

Do you have any tips or other recommendations? Let me know!

Have a lovely day and nice rest of the week!

Street Style Inspiration

Photographs credits [x,x]

What I love most about fashion weeks are the street style. I find it very interesting looking at photos of people expressing themselves through their clothing. And of course thinking "how can they look so fabulous?" while I'm here in my pajamas. At the same time I can see what's on trend, what are people loving and what are people wearing at the other side of the world. It's very interesting looking around and realize how style changes at different locations around the world.

I'll be honest I don't follow that much fashion trends since I prefer to wear things that compliment my type of body and that is comfortable (this is very important). But once in while I might go for it, love a trend and try it! Who knows I might even end up loving it and adding it to my own personal style. From this photographs you can see how much I'm loving the hats. I think they compliment the outfits so well, like it would be the last touch to complete an amazing outfit. I've been eyeing a few on the web but still deciding if I should buy it or not. Also there are many long coats, capes, suits, splashes of colors, different shapes and textures. And this is just a glimpse... Can't wait to see more!

Enjoy your week!

Spring Inspiration

Images source on Pinterest 

It may still be a little too early to think about the spring time but since I got a Pinterest account the only thing I want to do is pin, pin, pin. So I've started with some style inspirations, clothing pieces and colors I would like to try out. I'm not very adventurous with my clothing choices but I would like to spice it up a bit for example trying to add pastel colors especially soft pink and corals. Maybe I'll experiment more with prints like grid print. I've seen this print everywhere for the last few months! I really like it, the symmetric lines makes it look very nice and clean. I think it would be a great piece to have, either be a dress, shirt or trousers, to add something interesting when things get boring. There are a few other things I would like to try out but I'm still not too sure, but in my dreams I would like to wear a tulle skirt, round sunglasses and gold jewelry. These things are way out of my comfort zone but I love how they look on other people. Maybe I need I little bit of courage. 

Have a lovely week!

"Fun is good"

I don't know about you, but I adore Dr. Seuss quotes! They are always fun and silly and at the same time I think they say the truth. Anyway, I didn't know how to call this post "Favorites"? "Things I'm loving"? I'm not very good at naming posts so why not use a fun quote. This is just to share links of things that I'm liking and maybe you can check them out and enjoy. 

• See those Polaroids? Well, they're not "real" polaroids of course, I don't own a polaroid camera...yet. I made those thanks to Dana from Wonder Forest. Chech her post here, it's really fun, easy instructions to follow and they look so cute! 
• Have a sweet tooth and have no clue where to find new recipes? I found this blog last year called Lemon Sugar, I was looking for a cupcakes recipe for my birthday and found this one that I used - chocolate raspberry filled cupcakes & o-m-g how amazing they tasted!
• Have an obsession with candles, like me? I've mentioned this before but hey! why not again! B&BW Red Velvet Cupcake Candle is just too good, I'm impressed and I want another one. 
• If I had money to spent I would in this online shop, everything just looks so cute! 
• And lately this is the song I'm listening to everyday to help me relax, amazing song by Hillsong United. 

Hope you liked this post!

Winter dies into the spring, to be born again in the autumn

 All photos taken from Tumblr

I think if you've read my blog for a while you can tell Autumn is by far my favorite season. It just the way it is, the way it transforms my surrounding into a magical place. I'll start with the weather and the trees. When Autumn comes the mornings start to get more colder just perfect to wake up with a sweater on and have a cup of coffee. And if I wake up early enough to watch the sunrise even better! I love how I can start layering up and change the colors of the clothes to match the season, my favorite accessory is a scarf. I have a little bit obsession with scarfs (well I have lots of obsessions) I need it in every color, prints, length, textures, they're lots to choose from. The other best part of changing seasons is the home decorations. We take out our box full of autumn decorations consisted of lots of leaves, candles, the colors reds, mustard. It makes everything feel like "holidays are around the corner!". I think I can continue mentioning reasons why I love this season. I will stop for now (I'm very sure I'll end up writing (unintentionally) more in another post haha)...but if you want to share. What's your favorite part about Fall/Autumn?

Inspiration for Fall

style one: x | x | x | x   style two: x | x | x | x | x   style three: x | x | x

Fall clothing is definitely my favorite kind of clothing. I just love wearing cozy sweaters, leggings, having an excuse to wear lots of black and burgundy and of course layering. So today on the first day of fall i was browsing the internet, looking for some inspiration and making a dream list (let's face it, a lot of this pieces are way out of my budget. But hey, a girl can dream!) Then I put the pieces all together & ta-da! I know there's lots of white and black. I just love the combination of both and how simple and elegant they can make any outfit look. But I will try some prints for sure even if it's not my "fort".

fashion week favorite's

Recently i've took the time to have a little look of what's been presented at some of the runways from this past few weeks from fashion week. From the few i've seen everything looks amazing! I love a lot of the prints used like floral skirts, stripes shirts, animal print hats - things that are fun to wear and can bring something interesting in a "plain" outfit. One of my favorite pieces was the see through skirt from Burberry, i wish i could have something similar to that, it looks very elegant even thought i think it will just look 'good' on runway...i don't know. And of course the colors black&white are everywhere and i really like it (but of course, this comes from a girl whose closet is almost entirely black). A part from the color, i really like the Carolina Herrera dresses, so elegant, simple and the way the fabric moves plus that hair style! Oh, that's another one - i saw lots of fun hairstyles and that is making me consider growing out my hair (at moment i have shoulder-length hair).

Daily Inspirations

As a photography 'geek' and fashion 'lover' I enjoy very much spending time reading magazines and take in all of the stunning photographs and amazing clothes. Sometimes I like to rip some pages that inspire me in any way - clothing, room decorations, tasty recipes - and paste them in a notebook i have for crazy stuff like that. I would like to have a wall or a board to put the photographs but i never finish them, so for me is easier to have a notebook where i can organize all the things i'm loving at the moment. At this point I have three of them full of collages divided by seasons and I like to look at them once in a while when my imagination needs a little "boost". The March issue of Teen Vogue arrived this week and by far i'm enjoying it. I love the photos from "On the Road" makes me want to look at it and the clothes for hours...no kidding! And admit I'm loving the black&white thing going on, with checkers prints and stripe pants. Some of the things can be very difficult to pull off on a daily basis, but deep down I know I wish I could put clothes like this everyday. I'm very excited for spring to come and to experiment a little bit more with clothes and colors.

 P.s. I'm very sorry I haven't been around that very much to reply to all the lovely comments on some posts. All of the comments are very kind towards my little blog and that makes me very happy because I love this place and I like to take my time making posts I very much enjoy. I will take some time very soon to reply to all of them. Thank you! 

Fashion Week | Calvin Klein

It will be a dream come true if someday I could go and see a runway show in fashion week, but for now I love watching it from here my computer. I’ve seen so many good designs and trends that I know I will love and enjoy. I especially excited to see Calvin Klein’s collection since I’m a fan. Most of the time I love their designs and the spring 2013 collection was a no disappointment. In my opinion, designer Francisco Costa did a beautiful collection of designs. The pieces looked so feminine, kind of sensual and simple but with very delicate and nice details. Even when the colors were neutral – black and white – the looks call my attention and I love the neutral colors because you can concentrate more on the actual design of the garment. What’s my favorite look? Too hard to chose! But I think I will go for the dress in the first picture and third. I love the laces (I think they are laces, I don’t know) and the see-through material in the middle, it gives something interesting but at the same time doesn’t show too much. 

Edit: Oops! I forgot to post the shoes! Did you see them? These are gorgeous! 

If you enjoy watching more colors and details you can check out Carolina Herrera, Jason Wu, J. Mendel, and Oscar de la Renta collections. Well there’re lots to choose from, but the ones I mentioned were my favorites. I’ve seen a little of what’s going on in London Fashion Week and I can’t wait to see the Burberry collection (another favorite!).

Well I’ve got to go to class now. 

Bye! xx

The Row Fall 2012 Favorites

I found an article in the September issue of Marie Claire featuring the Fall 2012 collection of Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen brand, The Row. I adore everything they do for brand, but the reality is I can’t afford anything. Even if I can’t go and buy what I want (just like any other designers clothing), I like to look at their collections and maybe try to find look-a-like pieces for less. When I saw the Fall collection I was very happy it wasn’t an letdown, it is beautiful. And I fell in love with the accessories. The bags look so simple, beautiful colors and very stylish. I love bags that are simple with plain/neutral color, so I can add more to an outfit. I can see myself buying one of these, but for now in my dreams. haha. And the same goes to the sunglasses. I’m a fan! I like the style, forms and colors. I have used Ray-bans aviators for two years already, so I want to change and look for something more like these ones. My favorite is the clear one, it’s something very different and I’ve never had clear sunglasses, so it could be fun if I find ones like that. You can check their collection at their website. I will like to add, besides their accessories my other favorite pieces were the long dresses and skirts. Do you like? 

Thanks for reading! 

Have a lovely day!

Autumn List

First of all, if you read my blog, I’m sorry I haven’t posted lately. I’ve been very busy and sometimes I didn’t have the energy and inspiration to write a post. I don’t want to blog without been enthusiastic in what I’m writing about. So I preferred to take my time. 

Second, Oh wow, one month has passed since I first started blogging! Too fast! Yesterday it was summer and now I’m like, “Oh, hi September! Didn’t see you coming.” Haha. But at the same time I'm very happy since I love Autumn, especially the weather. 

And third, here is my list for my next shopping trip.  

1. Despite that classes already started, I’m looking for a new backpack since the one I’m using has already two years and I’m getting kind of tired of it. I love this kinds of bags that are like made of leather and sloppy, but sometimes I like to carry my laptop so I don’t know if to buy something like this or something bigger. Do you have any suggestions?
2. All my tights are black, so this year I want to do a little change and wear burgundy color tights. It will be something different and maybe it will look good since almost all my clothes are black/gray. 
3. For months I have been craving to buy a purple shade lipstick, specially from MAC. I will see if I can get it this weekend. 
4. I need headphones, like right now! Mine are dead after two years using them 24/7. haha. What can I say? I love music! Maybe I will buy two, because I love this one – first they look cute and second I love the color. The bad part is I find it kind of big to carry it around everywhere, so I need smaller ones too.
5. Glitter oxfords. I mentioned this in another post and I still haven’t found the perfect pair, so difficult! I’m thinking of buying some plain oxfords and maybe add them with some glitter. But I don’t know if it will look good. 
6. More jumpers please! Fact: I love jumpers! I think I have one in every color and I still want more. If I find an ombre style jumper I will definitely buy it. 

                                      And for now that is my list of things I need/want for this season.
