Leather, Leather Everywhere

It's leather weather! I mean sweater weather...both? 

I did not get the memo that a leather jacket was a essential here in Copenhagen. Like it's literally everywhere and I'm not complaining - I love it! I went out on the look for a nice fall/winter coat, since it's getting colder and the jackets I own are almost useless. The first thing I noticed is how a sea of people were wearing a black leather jacket. It was interesting....

I decided to go to Zara for a quick look (bad idea) and the next thing I know I'm looking at all the options and styles of leather jackets. To be completely honest, I'm pretty sure I can not pull off the "cool-sleek-bad-girl" look...like no! But I decided to get one anyway. They just look so nice and I think they can add something interesting to an outfit. So off I went, didn't think it twice (you can not think twice!), got the one that I liked the most, checked the price (to not get a surprise) and off I went to checkout! 

La, la, la, la...oh wait! I still need that winter coat...off to the shops soon! Hopefully I don't get drag into buying another "essential" piece. Oh, dear...

Spring Wishlist

SPRING 2015 WISHLIST

Well, hello there! It's been awhile, but don't worry I'm still here surviving my last two months of the semester! So, there are a few things that have been running around my head recently and some I've had them written down on my wishlist for a while. I think the time has come to make a few purchases that I will call them to be necessities, just things that I really like and others that I really do need them.

BEAUTY

There is always something new going around the beauty department and a lot of them I want to try out. But let's start with eye cream, which at the moment I have none. I never was into eye creams until very recently, I just never found them useful when I was a teenager. Around a year ago I picked up from my mom's the Kiehl's Creamy Eye Cream with Avocado and just had the curiosity (just a tiny bit). Oh boy, did I feel in love with this product. It such a good moisturizer and even saw a slight difference with the small lines that I get sometimes from lack of sleep. This product helps me so much with that and it makes my eyes look less tired, you know more bright. This is definitely going to be purchased on my next shopping trip. 

Another thing I'm out off is my beloved Clinique Naturally Glossy Mascara. My lashes are pretty long so most of the time I stay away from "volumizing mascaras". But they do need a little help in adding color and definition. It doesn't matter how many products of mascara I try, I always come back to this product. It's just perfect for what I need, plus it doesn't irritate my eyes!

Last on this beauty list, the Revlon Nail Polish in "Checkmate". I never seem to get along with nude or very pale nails. They always tend to look weird, that's why I always stay with darker shades like black, gray, reds and burgundy. But I really like this shade of nude, at least it looks amazing on others. So I'll see how it goes with this one - it might be the winner for nude nail polishes.

WARDROBE

The extreme hot weathers are coming and there is almost no sleeveless tops in my closet. I do like the look of the high neck, not extreme turtleneck top of course. They would be nice to have and pair them with practically everything - shorts, jeans, skirts.

Next on my list are glasses. It's already past a year since my last glasses update and I'm ready for a new style. I saw this Persol Typewriter edition ones a few weeks ago, tried them on just for fun and very weirdly I ended up liking them...a lot. It's actually advertised for man, but oh well no one will know. The color it's pretty similar to my Ray-Ban's, but I don't know - I just like the vintage style of these. I'm still thinking about it because even if I like them, I'm still not sure if I could pull them off.

Last but not least, some metallic shoes that I really don't need but I still want them. I like these ones Silver Patent Blucher from Zara. I know, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I just have a thing for shoes that are metallic, sparkly and shiny. They just add something fun to a very boring wardrobe, if you ask me. Plus, it's spring! Let the crazy shoes out!

Have a lovely weekend!

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!

New In My Wardrobe

After days and days of contemplating if I should or not buy a hat, I finally did the purchase. I've been looking for months for the perfect hat but I was always let down every time I'll go in a shop and find out they were already sold out or the ones they had wasn't what I was looking for. So I did what I didn't want to do in the first place and purchase it online. When it finally arrived it was love at first sight (kind of...yes, really). I'm very happy with it and now I think it was very silly of me for not doing so in the first place. I've always stayed away from online shopping because I prefer to buy it at the store, see it and try it before buying it. But not I'm getting the hang of buying online and I don't think that would be good news for my budget. 

Another thing I had in mind for a while was some loafers. Especially black, leathery type ones. It's really funny how things change in just a matter of time. A few years ago I never found the appeal to these kind of shoes. But here I am adding these new babies to my growing black shoes collection. The only thing I hope is for these to be comfy because I plan to wear them to uni. We'll see how it goes! Maybe later on I can invest a little bit more on a pale-cream loafers for spring time. I saw ones at Zara that were really nice, so I would need to check on that.

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!

Autumn's the Mellow Time

It's been a while since I posted an outfit post. I always look for comfort since what I do is walk around campus and try to stay warm at the library. Yesterday, as you can see, I went all black and grey. This is one of the reasons why I love fall season. Even thought I do love spring/summer dresses, bright colors and prints, I feel like my comfort zone is in wearing grays and black. Have I mention that almost all my wardrobe is like this? My favorite part is to add details to the outfit in this case I went with my animal print flats. Those flats are pretty loved, 4 years and still counting!

 Have a lovely day!
