MY BABY SHOWER..GOLD JUNGLE THEMED BABY SHOWER

Friday, April 13, 2018


Hi loves! Get ready for a crazy long post, but I wanted to share as much as possible about my baby shower. It was intimate: with my close friends from Miami, my parents, and Gabe's family. Everyone played such an important role during this shower, I felt so loved and I know this baby boy will be so spoiled!

My favorite Little Things in Life...with TOUS

Saturday, June 17, 2017





Life isn't the big moments, life isn't about waiting for graduation, that big promotion at work, that cool vacation, or the big wedding. Life is all that happens in between these "big" moments- and they are worth appreciating.

Here are some of my favorite little things in life:

1. Morning cuddles with Chiki and Gabe. This is probably my favorite little moment ever. I absolutely love waking up and appreciating another day together. Totally guilty of pressing the snooze button a few times just to spend more time with them.


2. Walks or rides in the park. I live right in front of the ocean, and there's nothing like crossing the street and just hearing the ocean (plus I've been lucky enough to see dolphins from time to time!). I'm been trying to ride my bike more often, it's just liberating.

3. Wearing that special jewelry or bag whenever I want.  Sometimes we invest in a piece but keep it in the original bag until we have "something" special. I'm the other way. I'm an advocate for wearing your favorite pieces all day every day! Here I'm wearing the TOUS collection Ivette; so dainty, so beautiful. Perfect for the every day AND for a special occasion with that beautiful outfit.








La vida es lo que pasa mientras esperamos por los momentos más importantes: por esa graduación, ese ascenso en el trabajo, la vacación esperada, o la boda soñada. Pero la vida es todo lo que pasa entre esos momentos grandes- y estos mini momentos son los que debemos apreciar más.

Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes algunas de mis cositas favoritas:

1.  Abrazos mañaneros con Chiki y Gabe. Creo que es mi momento favorito de todos los dĂ­as. Amo despertarme y apreciar otro dĂ­a juntos. Soy culpable de darle al botĂłn de "snooze" más de lo que deberĂ­a para que este momento dure lo más posible.

2. Paseos en el parque. Soy super afortunada de vivir tan cerca del mar, y no hay nada como cruzar la calle, ver el puerto y oír al mar (aparte he tenido días extra especiales, que estos paseos terminan con delfines a la vista). También he estado intentando manejar mi bici más, es tan relajante.

3. Usar ese accesorio, ropa, o cartera cuando quieras sin ninguna razĂłn especĂ­fica. Hay ocasiones donde guardamos esa pieza para algo "especial". Pero yo creo que deberĂ­amos hacer lo contrario, si ahorraste para una joyita o una cartera, Ăşsala TODOS los dĂ­as que quieras. AquĂ­ estoy usando la collecciĂłn  Ivettte de Tous; muy delicada, perfecta para el dĂ­a y la noche, para una ocasiĂłn especial o para el dĂ­a a dĂ­a. 



Spring Denim Guide…with DENIZEN® from Levi’s® Jeans

Friday, June 2, 2017


Jeans. We rely on them. We wear them on a weekly basis. We dress them up. We dress them down. They never leave our wardrobe…and we are not complaining! 

I’m super excited to announce I’m going to be partnering with DENIZEN® from Levi’s® jeans as part of their Style Council for the rest of the year. I’m going to be showing you how to style jeans for every season and any occasion.  

Today I’m going to show you 3 ways to style 3 pieces from the DENIZEN® jeans spring collection. I’ve been a fan of DENIZEN® jeans for a while. They’re available at Target in stores and online, and I love that they are fused with ESSENTIAL STRECH; meaning that they move with you, they don’t lose their shape, and they are so flattering! I’m going to be pairing them with some of my favorite trends and shapes for this season.

Let’s get started:

We are BLOGGERS - not Insta-Bloggers

Wednesday, May 10, 2017 Miami Beach, FL, USA


Like I've shared many times, I started in the world of blogging in 2009.  I've seen big changes but the biggest one yet was in 2012 when Instagram changed the rules of blogging.


Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love that it opened the doors for us bloggers to reach people in a way no other social media network did before.  I feel very grateful of my 200,000 followers and I appreciate every follow.


At the same time, it somehow killed blogs. Nowadays, it's very common to hear "I rarely go to blogs anymore" from a user point of view and "why the trouble if nobody reads anymore". Pageviews went significantly down. Out of frustration, some joined the Insta-blogger trend and left their blogs collecting dust. Ohers, like me, stopped updating it daily.  At the moment, I'm trying to update it every other day but I want to go back to daily, maybe not daily outfits but daily content.


With all the changes happening in the Instagram platform. Impressions are getting lower, obligating us one way or the other to pay to reach our audience. Shadow-banning is real and some of us are not reaching the amount of people we used to. People are desperate to grow; frequent giveaways, buying likes , using bots, etc.


I want to encourage you to give a little love to your blog. Update your blog frequently, you are already creating amazing content for IG...why not ALSO share it in a platform that is fully yours? A platform that you can control. We don't know what might happen to IG in the future and you cannot let your career to depend on it.


 I've always said that your blog shouldn't be the end goal, it's a step into a bigger dream. Treat it as your portfolio, network, grow as a professional, and EVERYTHING is possible🙌🏼💓💓

Como les he contado muchas veces, yo empecé en el mundo de los blogs en el 2009. He visto muchos cambios pero el más grande fue definitivamente el boom del Instagram en el 2012.

IG cambiĂł las reglas del juego en el mundo de los blogs.  No me malinterpretes, me siento con esta plataforma porque a mi me abriĂł muchas puertas y me logrĂł a alcanzar una audiencia con la cual me siento muy agradecida.

Pero al mismo tiempo, "matĂł" a los blogs como tal. Casi inmediatamente despuĂ©s del gran boom, las vistas de los blogs bajaron sustancialmente. EmpezĂł a ser muy comĂşn oir frases como "ya no vale la pena actualizar el blog, nadie está leyendo"desde el lado de los bloggers y "ya nunca me meto a leer blogs" de parte de los usuario. Por esta razĂłn, muchas se enfocaron en IG y dejaron el blog agarrando polvo...yo como muchas, dejĂ© de actualizarlo a diario.  En estos momentos estoy intentando subir un post cada dos d dĂ­as y regresarĂ© al diario (no outfits diarios pero si contenido que les pueda interesar).

Me imagino que se han podido dar cuenta, IG sigue cambiado y cambiando- las impresiones cada vez son mas bajas para obligarnos a pagar para llegar a todos nuestros seguidores. Hay algo llamado "shadow-ban" que nos limita el alcance. Todo el mundo esta buscando estrategĂ­as para seguir creciendo, pero ¿por quĂ© estamos dependiendo tanto en una plataforma que no es nuestra?

Por esto quiero motivarlos a regresar a los blogs, a tener tu propia plataforma, a contar sus historias más alla de una foto bonita. Si ya estás creando contenido increĂ­ble para IG, ¿por quĂ© no compartirlo TAMBIEN en una plataforma donde tienes todo el control? Siempre he dicho que ser blogger no es la meta, es el camino para llegar a una meta más grande . 🙌🏼🙌🏼💓💓


Casual Denim during the Miami Holidays…with DENIZEN® from Levi’s® jeans

Tuesday, December 20, 2016



When I was in Fashion School, during a Fashion History class we had to write a short essay on the item we thought would define our generation (like the draped dresses did for the Romans). I instantly wrote down jeans.

Jeans are everyone’s staple from day to night, from casual to dressy,  from Spring to the Holidays. So today I’m partnering with one of my favorite denim brands DENIZEN® from Levi’s® jeans to show you how to stay stylish and comfortable during the busy Holiday season.


Here I’m wearing the Modern Skinny jeans (I love that they come in short and long sizes too!! I’m petite and proud; but the less I have to go to the tailor, the better). Because Miami has not received the “It’s Christmas” memo and it’s still 85 degrees, I paired them  with an off-the-shoulder top, a bandana, and a hat. I wore this look with sneakers to run around the city for last-minute Holiday errands, and then I added the booties for dinner with the hubs. The best part about these jeans is that they are super soft and stretchy, but they still keep their shape all day no matter how active I am. 

Gabe is wearing the 232Slim Straight Fit jeans in this fun nude color- definitely edgier than the classic washes but still extremely versatile- and the whole look is very fashionable but full of basics that all of our guys have (or should have).

About Learning to Say No and Prioritizing

Wednesday, October 5, 2016



October is my favorite month. It's my birthday. It's Halloween..and it just means the Holidays are around the corner and we can start saying "where did they year go?"

Just because it is my favorite month, I challenged myself to blog every single day of the month. I used to blog every day...then, life got in the way, work got in the way. It was more important to send drafts to companies than just share whatever I wanted into the blog. I was so tired that when it came to sitting I write here, words wouldn't appear on the screen.  I've stayed very active on social media but uploading 6 times per month  is not okay.  Social media networks keep popping up...but this is MY platform, my www....and it's important to keep it active (at least it really is for me).







Octubre es mi mes favorito. Este mes cumplo año, este mes es Halloween...y con octubre se puede oficialmente empezar a decir "se acabó el año".

Este mes quise retarme a mi misma y actualizar el blog todos los dĂ­as del mes. Durante años subĂ­a looks todos pero TODOS los dĂ­as.  Entre más trabajo me empezĂł a llegar (gracias a Dios) menos me supe organizar y más abandonĂ© esta plataforma...MI plataforma. Estoy en un punto que me agotaba tanto mentalmente que cuando era hora de escribir acá, ya no podĂ­a más. He estado muy activa en las redes, pero me puse brava al ver que que estaba publicando 6 veces al mes....eso no esta bien.







I love what I do, and I'm so grateful for every single opportunity I get (work-wise) that it's hard for me to say no. AND I have to learn how to say no.  Because it is okay to say no, it doesn't make us ungrateful- it means that we care about the work we are doing.

I have to understand that I'm not wonder woman I don't have any assistants or interns. My husband, Gabe, takes my photos and edits them...but that's about it, this blog is my baby, my project, my passion- and I love doing everything myself

Y no esta bien porque amo lo hago y me siento tan agradecida de todas y cada las oportunidades que me llegan, creo que por eso es que me cuesta decir que no. Y tengo que aprender a decir que no, todas debemos aprender a decir que no. No significa que no valoras la oportunidad, significa que te importa tanto tu trabajo que le estas dando prioridad a ciertas cosas.

Tengo que entender que no soy la mujer invencible, no tengo asistentes ni pasantes. Gabo es mi única ayuda con las fotos y edición; pero de resto lo hago yo. Este blog es mi bebé, mi proyecto, mi pasión.





 I love planning the outfits, selecting the pictures, answering emails, negotiating contracts, writing my own social captions and blog posts (even though I should have someone proof reading them from time to time)...I appreciate even the annoying things like sending invoices and following up with payments.  I absolutely love interacting with you guys, answering comments on social ( I need to get better at answering HERE, I promise I will try)- and I'm sure some of you have noticed but I go and check out your Instagram accounts too.

I really enjoy every step of the process and I'm very thankful with all of you for all the love and support throughout the years. Love you guys!

Amo planificar los looks, seleccionar las fotos, responder emails, negociar contratos, escribir yo misma todo lo que sale en mis redes y en el blog (aunque de vez en cuando alguien debería corregirme los errores que veo 3 días después). Aprecio hasta las labores tediosas como facturar. Pero sobre todo disfruto intercalando con ustedes en las redes- siempre me meto a responderles y ver sus perfiles. Tengo que mejorar por acá, creo que tengo que hacer que dejar comentarios sea más sencillo....diganme que opinan.

De verdad que disfruto todo el proceso y les agradezco con todo mi corazón tanto cariño que me han dado...desde el 2009! Los quiero mucho.

Denim on Denim on Denim

Tuesday, July 26, 2016





See... I wasn't kidding when I said I'm living in mini skirts and off-the-shoulder tops!

I absolutely love the trend of unexpected denim...like this skirt with different shades of denim (it is from Shoppiin and it's under $40!!). This denim top had sleeves but I had this idea of cutting them off (it was just one stitch on each side) and I'm going to put a button to easily put them on depending on the look.

These fun sandals are on MEGA SALE from Rebecca Minkoff (from $200 to $70!). The heel is comfy to walk around all day. This day I headed to an event at a local mall, and I ended up getting another ear piercing at Claire's..I got a lollipop and everything haha. I love how tiny earrings look so now I have four on one ear and two on the other.

I also found this super cute gold choker at Express, I love how I can dress it up, down, and layer it with other necklaces.

Hope you like the look and it inspired you! <3 XOXO


¿Ven!? No les mentĂ­ cuando les dije que no he parado de usar faldas mini y tops con los hombros al descubierto.

¡Me encanta esta tendencia de jean inesperado! Esta falda es de Shoppiin, cuesta menos de $40 y los diferentes tonos de mezcilla son muy divertidos. El top puede que lo reconozcan de otros posts...pero le quite les mangas. TenĂ­an solo una puntada y quiero ponerles un botĂłn para que puedan ponerse y quitar fácilmente.

Las sandalias son de Rebecca Minkoff (que por cierto están mega rebajadas de $200 a $70! ). El tacĂłn es bajo, perfecto para caminar todo el dĂ­a. Eso fue justamente lo que hice ese dĂ­a porque fui a un evento en el centro comercial y terminĂ© abriĂ©ndome otro piercing en la oreja. Me encanta como se ven los aretes delicados...ahora tengo 4 en una oreja y 2 en la otra.

De los detalles les cuento de esta gargantilla dorada que encontré en Express. Me gusta como puede usarse con looks elegantes, casuales, y con otros collares.

¡Espero que les haya gustado el look! BESOS!

My Fashion Uniform for Summer 2016

Tuesday, July 19, 2016


Off the shoulder top? CHECK
Button denim skirt? CHECK
Choker? CHECK
Lace-up sandals? CHECK

I have been living in these staples all summer long. I have not stopped wearing this top since last Summer, and this skirt goes absolutely with anything. I've been thinking of getting it in black...but I don't want to be that crazy girl with the same style in different colors. Meh whatever, as long as you wear something a lot...all excuses are valid!

These sandals are a low cost version of the Chloe ones, and they are so comfy. I linked to similar versions below too.

Hope you are having a great day! XOXO
¿Camisa con los hombros al descubiertos? ¡Listo!
¿Falda de jean de botones? ¡Listo!
¿Gargantilla? ¡Listo!

Estas han sido de mis tendencias favoritas todo el año...y me encantan especialmente para el verano. Este top lo he usado TANTO desde el verano pasado. La falda va con todo...estuve ojeando una negra en H&M pero no quiero ser de esas chicas que compran lo mismo en todos los colores. Mientras lo utilices todo el tiempo, todas las excusas son válidas.

Estas sandalias son la versiĂłn econĂłmica de unas Chloe..y son TAN cĂłmodas. Abajo les dejo versiones similares de todo.

¡BESOS!











The Block Heel...with DSW

Friday, April 22, 2016

This post is sponsored by DSW and SheKnows Media



I’ve talked about Fashion and Beauty trends for Spring/Summer 2016….but no trend will be the same without THE SHOES!!!Some of my favorite trends this season are: sneakers, lace-up flats, and wood platforms. However, there is one that caught my eye: THE BLOCK HEEL TREND. Why? 1) Gives me needed height (I’m just 5’1.5, so any extra inch counts!!- who’s with me!?) 2) The thicker heel gives me stability and I can wear them for longer periods of time….best of both worlds!

Ya les he hablado de mis tendencias de moda y belleza favoritas para esta Primavera/Verano 2016...pero ningĂşn loko en tendencia  serĂ­a lo mismo sin los zapatos.

Algunas de mis tendencias de zapato favoritas son: tenis, flats con trenzas, y plataformas de madera. Pero esta de TACON DE BLOQUE me llamó mucho la atención: primero porque con mi tamañito, agradezco las tendencias que me dan así sea un par de cm extra; pero como tiene el tacón ancho, me da estabilidad y puedo usarlo por más tiempo.


High Impact at the High Seas Brunch...with Colgate Optic White

Tuesday, April 19, 2016


Last Sunday I was the host of an amazing event thanks to Colgate Optic White- which was part of my annual partnership as the Designer Smile Squad. The concept, so much fun, was spending the morning on a boat with an amazing group of bloggers drinking mimosas and talking fashion (best plan ever!).

I really had a blast...I always love seeing my girls! I also took a rack of clothing with me with my favorite trends...but we all agreed that our best accessory is always a big smile!!

XOXO

El domingo, fui la anfitriona de un evento increĂ­ble con Colgate Optic White como parte de mi colaboraciĂłn anual en el Designer Smile Squad. El concepto, muy divertido, era pasar toda la mañana en un bote con un grupo de bloggers...con mimosas y brunch (¡que mejor plan dominguero que ese!).

Yo la pasĂ© muy chevere, compartiendo con mis amigas blogueras...hablando de tendencias. TambiĂ©n llevĂ© un rack con ropa para hablar de looks...¡pero siempre recordando que nuestro mejor accesorio es nuestra sonrisa!

¡Les mando un mega abrazo!

8 FASHION TRENDS TO TRY IN 2016

Saturday, January 9, 2016


fashion trends, trend report, ruffles, bombers, sequins, tie dye,  off the shoulder, denim stripes, lingerie inspired, runway, nyfw, spring 2016



Every year I sit down and I write my New Year's Resolutions. Besides including the basics (eating better and exercising more), I always add trying new fashion and beauty trends.  As I like to say, fashion is supposed to be fun...it's not about following trends but having fun with those you like. Think of the new year as a chance for a NEW YOU. Dare to be different, dare to express who you are through clothes, and dare to go after your dreams while looking extra stylish.

Today I'm going to talk about 8 fashion trends that you should give it a try in 2016. I made sure that all the items in the "shop the look" section were under $150 (trying to keep it as affordable as possible!). Let me know which one is your favorite (or if I missed your favorite) and how would you wear it!

Todos los años me siento a escribir mis propĂłsitos de año nuevo. Aparte de escribir las resoluciones clásicas de comer mejor y hacer más ejercicio, siempre escribo algunas tendencias de moda y belleza que me gustarĂ­a  probar. Siempre les digo que la moda no es algo superficial, es una manera de expresar quien eres.. y que mejor momento que reinventarte que este nuevo año. AtrĂ©vete a ser diferente, a probar tendencias fuera de tu zona de confort , y atrĂ©vete a ir detrás de tu sueños (mientras te ves fabulosa).

Hoy les voy a hablar de 8 de mis tendencias favoritas que considero que deben probar en el 2016...estas tendencias fueron de las más vistas en las pasarelas de muchos diseñadores. TambiĂ©n añadĂ­ debajo de cada tendencia diferentes opciones- intentĂ© que todas costarán menos de $150. CuĂ©ntenme que tendencia es tu favorita, o si hay alguna que debĂ­ haber incluido... y como la usarĂ­as. ¡Besos!
