This morning, as I was eating some breakfast and staring out my window… I saw 2 kids walking down the street dressed as Anna and Elsa and I thought, what’s with all the Halloween hoopla. It’s not even Halloween yet, is it? Then it hit me…Oh man, it is Halloween Day!!!

Rules, rules, rules…

I’m sure you’ve heard them before, but I say, break the rules and wear the horizontal stripes anyway!

Only those who lack confidence and a sense of style, actually stick to fashion rules… And if you’re reading this, I KNOW you are NOT one of them.

Fashion rules are made to be broken. Ready to join me? Go ahead, break the rules!

10 Irrelevant Fashion Rules:

  1. Horizontal stripes are not flattering – Says who?
  2. Mixing prints is unacceptable – Not anymore!
  3. Don’t wear white after Labor Day – Thanks, but I think I will!
  4. Never mix gold & silver – That thought is so dated.
  5. Navy & black don’t match – I beg to differ…
  6. Sequins should only be worn at night – Should’a, could’a, would’a.
  7. Head-to-toe matching is a no-no – Maybe if you live under a rock.
  8. T-shirts are only for sleeping/exercising – You’re obviously shopping at the wrong places.
  9. Pajamas are meant for sleeping – Try again, they also make fun tops!
  10. Less is more – Hmmm, maybe, but not for statement pieces.

Time to walk the talk and break the rules! Today’s look featured a simple horizontal striped dress for a classy and chic look. I also ditched the less is more rule and added a whole lot’a bling. Now, the trick to wearing stripes is knowing your body-type and paying attention to the placement and width of the stripes.

Stripes can play an optical illusion and YOU get to decide whether that’s a good thing or bad thing. ;)

Reglas, reglas, y mas reglas…

Estoy segura que ya las has escuchado antes, pero hoy te digo: “rompe las reglas y ponte las rayas horizontales de todos modos!”

Sólo las personas sin sentido de estilo adhieren a las reglas de moda… Y si estás leyendo esto, sé que tu no eres una de ellas.

Igual, las reglas de la moda están hechas para romperlas, no? Lista para romperlas?!

10 Reglas de moda que ahora son irrelevante:

  1. Rayas horizontales no quedan bien a todos- ¿Quién dice ?
  2. Mezclar estampados es inaceptable – ¡Ya, no!
  3. Después de Labor Day uno no debe usar el color blanco- Gracias, pero no lo creo!
  4. Nunca mezcle el oro y la plata – Ese pensamiento es tan anticuado.
  5. Azul ozcuro y negro no coinciden – No estoy de acuerdo …
  6. Lentejuelas sólo se deben usar en la noche – Si eres aburrida!
  7. Combinar de pies a cabeza es un no-no – Tal vez si vives bajo una piedra.
  8. Las camisetas se usan sólo para dormir o hacer ejercicio – Talvez has estado haciendo compras en lugares equivocados .
  9. Pijamas son para dormir – De vez en cuando, también hacen tops divertidos!
  10. Menos es más – Hmmm, tal vez, pero no siempre.

Y ahora, es hora de predicar con ejemplo y romper las reglas! Mi look de hoy contó con un vestido de rayas para un aspecto elegante y chic. También me deshice de la regla “menos es más”  y lo combine con un collar con mucho “bling” . Ahora, el secreto de usar ropa con rayas es conocer a tu tipo de cuerpo y prestar atención a la colocación y el ancho de las rayas.

Las rayas pueden ayudarte a crear una ilusión óptica y tu decides si eso es algo bueno o algo malo. ;)

TGIF: In English that means: (Thank God It’s Friday!) Thank God It’s Friday!

For some reason, these days I’ve been a little more interested in comfortable fashion (and not just for casual Fridays.) Before I even liked the shirts. But now, there are so many beautiful options that I can finally say that I like and to have some!

A cute top not only gives you the opportunity to tone down your look, but also gives you comfort with the perfect touch of fun. Also, just because you’re wearing a shirt does not mean that your accessories can not be chic and modern ‘. My accessories were my bag 3.1 Phillip Lim x Target and one of my favorite designs watches Mulco!

CURLY VS STRAIGHT

Hair… Curly vs straight?!jonathon powell, hair, fashion, stylist, curly vs straight hair

It’s either too curly or it’s too straight. It has too much volume (and eventually turns to frizz) or its too flat & won’t even stay up.

Truth is, the age-old question remains: What’s better curly or straight hair? And is there such thing as too curly or too straight?

Here is my curly vs straight hair resolution: Love your own crowning glory & find the product that’s right for you!

hydracurls, green soothing, jonathan products,  curly vs straight hair

If there’s one thing I’m known for… It is definitely my hair. You know, I’m the “girl with the curls.” And over the years, I’ve definitely learned to love & tame the mane. That wasn’t always the case, in fact, my middle school years where quite disastrous for my hair-life. (LA Looks was my saving grace. Eeeek, gross! Let’s pretend I never said that. I wouldn’t put that junk in my hair today, even if you paid me!! And don’t worry I wont show you pictures or should I? ;) ) Thank goodness middle school was only 3 years of my life & now, I know better styling products exist.

Even though I eventually learned to style & manage my hair, the question still remains… Curly vs straight? Well, after spending some time observing hair trends at this year’s Mercedes Benz Swim Week. Guess what I found? Both are equally stylish & equally beautiful and with the help of Jonathan Products you can achieve any of the looks with ease! See for yourself:

For the Poko Pano show, lead hair stylist, Jonathon Powell created a sleek & sultry look using GG Gatsby’s new collection of straightening hair products. The models looked stunning!

Powell  was also the lead stylist for the L*Space – Monica Wise show where he created a sexy “wet look” bringing the perfect beach waves to our humid Miami beaches. “The Water is Waiting” theme inspired his hairstyles and the new Hydracurls collection helped bring them to life by adding the perfect blend of flirty & fun.

So, how do you wear your hair and what products have you found work for you?

 

 

 

 

 

Why hello, August! You came back rather quickly…  Good thing that with the August rush also come August sales!!!

Today’s outfit features some casual and cool fashion for back to school shopping.

Who says shopping and saving don’t go hand-in-hand? I’m a sucker for the word “sale” and the back-to-school sale signs are all around. So, I must follow… ;) Yes, yes, I’ll try to be good! But I’m ready for some retail-theraphy and I’m keeping my shopping fashion look comfortable, casual and cool.
