Oh Chicago! Chicago!
It wasn't the first time I've been in Chicago. I went twice in 2011- one for a marathon with Nike and then for a hispanic conference called Latism. Check out those posts, I look like a baby (and let's not even talk about what I was wearing). However, this time I went with Gabe and we love exploring the city.
We really loved it, it looked so beautiful with snow everywhere...and the lake was frozen!
We got there on Monday, we checked in, showered, and headed straight to have lunch. A couple of people recommended Giordanos where they are known for their Chicago-style pizzas. Honestly it was a good and bad decision. It was delicious but it was so big!! We didn't expect it! After that we headed to the Skydeck to see the city from the #103. I was going to add those pics on this post but they need their own posts (so stay tuned for that tomorrow).
About what I'm wearing, I realized I don't really own a lot of winter clothes (hey, I live in Miami, why would I). Everything I took to this 4 day trip was the same I wore in NYFW last year. The coat is from Desigual but it is obviously sold out (I linked to similar options below). I also realized that even though I love small bags, they are not for the winter. So this Coach swagger bag was perfect for this trip, that way I can add the gloves and everything inside (tell me I'm not the only one who does this!).
Have amazing weekend!

¡Chicago! ¡Chicago!!
Hace un par de año estuve en Chicago dos veces - una en octubre y otra en noviembre, y yo pensé que ese momento hacía frío...¡como me equivoqué! Pero es bueno cambiar de ambiente...pudimos disfrutar de la ciudad toda nevada y de usar 10 capas a la vez para poder explorar la ciudad.
Llegamos al mediodía el martes, hicimos check in, nos bañamos y fuimos directo a Giordanos- un sitio donde venden las pizzas estilo Chicago. Teníamos mucha hambre y pedimos una ensalada y una pizza mitad y mitad...fue una mala- pero buena decisión. Estaba riquísima pero comimos tanto ( ¡y eso que no nos comimos ni la mitad!!). De ahí seguimos para el Skydeck, donde puedes ver la ciudad desde el piso #103...pero eso viene en otro post porque tomamos unas fotos super cheveres (estén pendientes de eso mañana).
Sobre lo que estoy usando, me di cuenta que no tengo mucha ropa de invierno (obviamente por vivir en Miami). Me di cuenta que lo que me llevé a Chicago fue exactamente lo mismo que me llevé a Nueva York en febrero del año pasado. El abrigo es de Desigual, ya no lo venden pero les puse abajo varias opciones B&W similares. El climas fríos prefiero usar carteras grandes, como esta Coach, porque así puedo lanzar más cosas....en el frío siento que uno necesita más en la cartera (¿ soy la única?).
¡Les deseo un feliz fin de semana!!

One of the best things about partnering with TRESemmé during NYFW was that I got the chance to go backstage for several shows. One of my favorites was definitely the Banana Republic presentation. Even if I could afford all the Monique Luillier gowns, it’s not like I have black-tie events every week. Banana Republic is another story, the pieces were AMAZING and they are reasonably priced.

Lo mejor de trabajar junto a TRESemmé durante la Semana de la Moda en Nueva York (aparte de peinarme todos los días) fue que me invitaron a varios desfiles y detrás de bastidores. Una de mis presentaciones favoritas fue la de Banana Republic. Aunque pudiese comprar todos los vestidos de Monique Luillier, no es como si tengo eventos formales todas las semanas. En cambio Banana Republic tiene piezas relativamente "económicas" e igual de espectaculares.
Like I told you, for this New York Fashion Week, I was so happy and grateful to partner again with the amazing team at TRESemmé, the official hair care sponsor of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. On the third day of NYFW, I visited the TRESemmé Salon at Lincoln Center again. I asked Yojanse for a perfectly (un)Done effortless ponytail.
To recreate this hairstyle:
- Prep by applying TRESemmé Perfectly (un)Done Sea Foam evenly through the hair to create natural looking waves.
- Wrap sections of hair around a heated curling iron- make sure to twirl away from your face.
- Gather hair at the nape of the neck and tie with an elastic.
- Take a section of hair and wrap it around the ponytail to hide the elastic.
- Pull a few pieces of hair to frame the face.
- Finish the look with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Illuminating Shine Spray to add a little bit of shine to the ponytail.
For my outfit: I wore this gorgeous Desigual coat (which I wore a couple of times because of how warm it was!); I paired it with some black leggings and black booties. We headed to Central Park to see how pretty it looks with snow and took advantage of the scenery to take pictures!
Hope you liked the look as much as I did! Check out more of the amazing hairstyles TRESemmé did on Instagram with the hashtag #TRESmbfw. For more hair inspiration and how-to's, visit YouTube.com/TRESemme.

Como les conté, esta Semana de la Moda en Nueva York, estuve muy feliz y agradecida de poder trabajar con el increíble equipo de TRESemmé. El tercer día de NYFW, visité el salón que tenían en Lincoln Center para que me peinaran. Le pedí a Yojanse (un dominicano simpatiquísimo) que me hiciera una cola de caballo baja. Ese mismo día vimos un peinado muy similar en la presentación de Banana Republic. Me encanta este peinado porque es arregladito pero relajado al mismo tiempo…le da un toque glam a cualquier look casual.
Para recrear este peinado:
- Empieza aplicando TRESemmé Perfectly (un)Done Sea Foam en todo el cabello para ayudar a darle volúmen a tu cabello.
- Utiliza una rizadora sin clip y enrolla mechones a tu gusto. Si deseas, puedes abrir las ondas con tus dedos al terminar de rizar.
- Amarra tu cabello en una cola de caballo baja con una colita/liga transparente.
- Esconde la liga transparente con un mechón de cabello.
- Dale un poco de brillo a tu cola de caballo con TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Illuminating Shine Spray.
En cuanto a mi outfit: estuve usando este abrigo de Desigual muchísimo (era de los más calientitos que lleve); en esta ocasión lo combiné simplemente con unos jeans negros y unos botines negros. Quisimos dar un paseo por Central Park porque siempre ese ve hermosísimo con nieve; y aprovechamos para tomar un par de fotos con esa vista tan espectacular.
Espero que les haya gustado este look. Recuerda que puedes ver más de los increíbles peinados que TRESemmé estuvo haciendo en Instagram con el hashtag #TRESmbfw. Y también puedes inspirarte y revisar tutoriales en YouTube.com/TRESemme. ¡BESOS!
