SWEET SUMMER OUTFIT IDEA

The days are longer, the sun shines brighter… Oh, sweet summer days!

Sun stands still, beaches are filled… Time to escape the weekday craze.

Sun-kissed skin, drops of rain, humid outdoors… Still all the same.  Oh, how I love my sweet summer days.

If the sun could speak what would it say? If you could hear a tune from a simple breeze what song would it play? Oh gloomy rain, please refrain so I can play in my sweet summer days.

___________________________________________________________________

As you can see, I woke up a bit on the sappy side today. But hey, a little summer poem never hurt anyone? ;) Are you in need of a little inspiration or perhaps even a little help for a summer outfit?

Here’s a little sweet summer outfit idea… I wore this to attend the 2nd day of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week event:

MONOCHROMATIC SUMMER WHITES

In the midst of all the print craze… Today, I decided I needed a visual break from colors, patterns and all things bright! Therefore, I decided to pull out the classic monochromatic summer whites!

Yes, yes, I know it may seem too “matchy-matchy” to wear the same color, but this monochromatic style is almost an effortless way to look stylish this summer. While the trend of wearing one color is easy on the eyes, it actually isn’t as easy to pull off. For starters, piecing a top/bottom and finding the exact shade of a color can be quite a challenge. Even for white!

So, here are a few tips that can help you as you try this monoch summer whites or any other monochromatic trend:

  • Find a suitable color for your skin tone and body type
  • When using bright colors mixing hues is appropriate and even fun
  • Blending fabrics and textures can add interest to your look
    (I did it with today’s look and it helped with color matching)
  • Denim on denim is perfectly permissible

Basically, when it comes to creating a monochromatic look, your possibilities are endless. So have fun with it and be brave! Happy Monday!

Con toda la locura de colores fuertes y diseños floreados … Hoy decidí que necesitaba un descanso visual! Por lo tanto, decidí sacar el clásico look de blanco sobre blanco!Sí, sí, ya sé que puede parecer demasiado “matchy–matchy” que use el mismo color, pero este estilo monocromático es casi una forma fácil de lucir de moda este verano. Mientras que la moda de usar solamente un color es fácil en los ojos, en realidad no es tan fácil de lograr. Por ejemplo, buscando una blusa y encontrar el tono exacto de la falda o pantalon puede ser todo un reto. Hasta para el blanco!Pues, aquí tienes algunos consejos que pueden ayudarte en tus esfuerzos:

  • Busca un color adecuado para tu tono de piel y tipo de cuerpo
  • Cuando uses colores brillantes mezcla tonos – no es solamente apropiado, pero tambien divertido
  • No tengas miedo de mezclar los tejidos y texturas pueden añadir interés a tu estilo
    (Lo hice con el look de hoy y me ayudó con la combinar el color)
  • Denim con denim es perfectamente admisible

 


Básicamente, cuando se trata de crear tu look monocromático, tus posibilidades son infinitas. Así que diviertete con el y se valiente! Feliz Lunes!

BACK TO BASICS CHAMBRAY

It’s been way too long since I’ve sat in front of this computer and just blogged. Gosh, it feels like with just the blink of an eye days go by and time never ceases.

Well, today I go back to basics in my favorite chambray LOFT shirt.

Whether its work, busyness, events, or just routine in general… Life happens and every so often I have to remember to intentionally just stop, slow down and take it in. The last few months have been whirlwind, but they have totally been a blessing. Miguel and I finally moved into an apartment in Miami Beach and it has honestly been one of the best decisions we’ve made in a while. I can’t believe we didn’t live here sooner! He absolutely hated his 45 minute commute to the beach and now its a 5 minute drive! Woot woot!

Finally, now that we’re all settled in, its back to basics…

In every aspect of life. No more crazy-filled schedules, no more living out of unpacked boxes. It’s time to be self-disciplined. We’re back to taking our afternoon strolls, enjoying time with each other and doing things that helps us de-stress.

How do you go back to basics?

What helps you de-stress? For me, its blogging and working out.

FLOWER POWER

Does the flower give me power? ;)

I’ve come to realize that the way I dress not only affects my mood but it also affects the way I carry myself… If I’m wearing yoga pants, I tend to lounge, kick my feet up & take it easy. On the other hand, if I’m wearing a dress I act proper & poised. Do you find that it’s the same for you?

For the most part, I tend to be drawn to girly & classy things. You know, dresses, flowers, polka dots… But every so often, I venture out into the trendier side of things. But not today! Today, I keep it classy! I’m wearing my favorite Zara flower power dress.

I got this dress a while ago, but I guess I forgot about it because its first debut was to an editor preview. I love it, I think it’s the perfect flower power dress! If it could speak I think it would say, “I’m flowery & fun” ;)

I’ve worn this dress to run errands, brunches, & even work meetings.

What’s your go-to piece for a fun yet classic look?

En estos dias, me he dado cuenta que mi forma de vestir no sólo afecta mi estado de ánimo, sino que también afecta a la forma en que actuo … Por ejemplo, si uso pantalones de yoga, tiendo a estar mas relajada y tomo todo con calma. Pero si estoy usando un vestido, actúo adecuada y con muchos modales. ;) ¿A ustedes les pasa lo mismo?

Por lo mayor, siempre tiendo a estar atraída a las cosas femeninas y clasicas. Ya sabes, vestidos, flores, lunares … Pero de vez en cuando, me atrevo un poco y trato de usar la moda mas “edgy y juvenil.” Pero hoy no! Hoy traigo puesto uno de mis favoritos vestidos clasico.

Ya hace tiempo que tengo este vestido, pero supongo que me olvidé de él porque este es su primer debut. Me encanta, creo que es el vestido perfecto! Si pudiera hablar creo que diria: “Tendre flores y soy muy divertido, pero la flor también te da poder!” ;)  Me lo he pongo para hacer mandados, para almuerzos, y hasta para las reuniones del trabajo.

¿Cuál es su tu pieza favorita — que te sirve para diversión, pero que tambien tiene su aspecto clásico?

LATINA GLAM

Filled with Latina glam, Miami is truly a place like no other…

As a visitor, one quickly learns that the Latin culture has a huge influence in our city. From Spanish billboards/signs, to different traditions, body-types, languages & foods; they all encompass the fun & vibrant life our city has to offer.

And we all know it isn’t easy to avoid the hair frizz & embrace the humidity in our day-to-day looks. Well, Glam Magazine featured some of our favorite Miami fashion bloggers (us included ;) ) with a street-style post in the 2014 Spring issue of Glam Belleza Latina.

They asked us to share our beauty secrets & focus on how we embrace Miami & our Latina roots. Here’s a peek:

What “V” wore:

FOREVER 21 necklace
GO JANE shoes

PRETTY PASTELS & MODERN METALLICS

Easter may be over soon… But pretty pastels are here to stay! Last year, florals were the it trend… But this year, nothing says girly & sweet like a good pop of pastel. Whether you’re into pinks, purples, mints or blues, you can wear these fun pastels from day-to-night to feel bright & cheery all Spring long.

So, how can you avoid looking like a cheesy Easter egg? Balance this classic lady-like style with some edgy metallic accessories & never wear more than two pastel colors in one outfit.

Pretty Pastels

 

This season also calls for precious metals & lustrous shine…You can pair a statement gold, silver or copper piece with classic denim, or any basic pieces: white tee, classic khakis, white/nude pumps, etc. For a bolder look, you can also wear a monochromatic look & rock one shade of modern metallic from head-to-toe.

Modern Metallics


What’s your favorite trend this season? And how will you be wearing it?

CAN’T STAND CHRISTIANS

On a regular Sunday morning, most people would rather go to the beach, enjoy some family time, or even spend an extra few hours in bed instead of going to church… But for some reason, not on Easter Sunday.

Typically, Easter and Christmas are the highest attended times where the average “unchurched” and “irreligious” person attends church.  But why? What is it about Easter and Christmas that draws people to church? Is it a desire for something more? Is it Christians? Is it Jesus?

In fact, in one way or another haven’t you heard people say “I’m spiritual, but not really into religion.” Or, “I Like Jesus… but can’t stand Christians.” Have you ever felt this way?

I know I have! And chances are that someone or something claiming to be “Christian” has probably given you and others a reason to keep their distance from church. Perhaps a “hypocrite Christ-follower” tainted the idea of Jesus and even more from religion, especially with all the ” record of do’s and don’ts”. But deep inside, I hope you know Jesus is way more than what any human can ever reflect! (Because after all, we are all sinners.)

For this very reason, Christ Journey Church (my church) is launching a challenging three-week series that will help tackle some of the most common barriers that keep people away from “Christians and Christianity.”

We did our research, and here’s what we found:


So, what’s your take on Christians? Will you be attending an Easter service? Why or why not?

No matter who you are or what you believe in, you’re invited to join the conversation this Easter weekend.  Join live at our Miami locations or online at ChristJourney.tv, you can tune-in from anywhere around the world. Check it out and let me know what you think… Happy Easter!
