Last week, I went to an event with Urban Decay and some of the coolest Latina blogger babes in Miami. The event was held at Basement (at the Miami Edition). Like it's name, this place is in the basement of the hotel and it has the coolest bowling alley and ice skating rink.
I love these types of events; when they are not heavily branded but an experience. I played one round of bowling- well, I sucked at it because of the belly. And yes, I was okay. I grabbed a light ball and I wasn't throwing hard (I promise). Remember that pregnancy isn't an illness but you should always listen to your body.
As far as my outfit. I got this shirtdress at Asos maternity during Black Friday (wow yes, so long ago) - everything was half off and I took advantage of the sale to get cute maternity stuff. This dress is one of those pieces I know I will wear after the baby is here- but just in case, I liked below to some cute options that are not maternity. I think what really elevated the look was the accessories (the white ankle boots are so fun, and the cabby hat).
Hope you like the pics! We had so much fun in this different backdrop! XOXO
La semana pasada fui a un evento con la marca de maquillaje Urban Decay y un grupo increÃble de bloggers latinas de Miami. El evento fue en un lugar llamado Basement - y como su nombre lo dice, es en el sótano de un hotel. Es todo de neón y tiene para jugar bowling y patinar sobre hielo.
Este tipo de eventos son increÃbles porque aparte de conocer al producto, compartes con amigas y se convierte en una experiencia.
La pregunta más frecuente es si jugué con la barriga, ¡¡y SI!! Solo que tuve MUCHO cuidado, recuerden que el embarazo no es una enfermedad. La verdad es que jugué muy mal porque tampoco querÃa hacerme daño- básicamente la pelota iba a 0 por hora.
Sobre mi outfit: les cuento que compré este vestido durante las ventas de Black Friday en noviembre (wow como ha volado el tiempo) aprovechando que todo estaba 50% de descuento en ASOS. Me gusta porque es una pieza que voy a seguir usando después del bebé aunque sea de maternidad. El toque cool lo dieron las botitas blancas y el sombrero.
Espero que les gusten las fotos, nos divertimos mucho tomándolas en este sitio. ¡BESOS! ¡FELIZ ABRIL!
The core of this blog started with style remixes (a.k.a different ways to wear the same piece); and even though I keep talking about expanding the topics, I also want to revisit what was one of you favorite sections.
Here I'm styling a dress from Who What Wear in 4 different ways. I got this dress right before Swim Week and, my fault, I didn't try it on. When I got home, the fit was a little different than I expected. I think the round neck gives it an "old lady feel". But instead of returning it, I took it as a challenge to style it in cool different ways, and it became a versatile piece.
The key to its versatility was its buttons down the front. I was able to open the top a bit to show my bralette, to open the bottom to show my skirt, or fully open it over a swimsuit.
Let me know which was your favorite outfit and how would you wear it.
This is my second time wearing this maxi dress as a top...the first one was during Swim Week but I went for leather shorts and a strappy bralette for an edgier feel. Click here to check it out.
I definitely have to wear it as an actual dress next time. But there is something about it that feels a little "old"lady, I think it's the neckline. But I'm sure I'll wear it a coverup for the beach! REMIX coming soon!! Actually, more remixes for 2018 FOR SURE!
This was during our little runaway trip because of the hurricane. We had the best road trip buddies: Alex and Gaby. Best "fashion" part? Because of the small luggage, we got to share clothes. These are Gaby's vintage shorts!
This is one of my favorite looks from later this year. What do you think?
Yo siempre dándole las vueltas a las piezas. Este vestido lo compré hace un par de meses pero solo lo he usado como top ( tal vez lo recuerden durante La Semana Swim en Miami que lo usé con shorts de cuero y un bralette con muchas tiritas).
Me tengo que poner las pilas y usarlo como un vestido de verdad. Lo que pasa es que como vestido se ve un poco como de "viejita". Pero definitivamente quiero usarlo abierto sobre un traje de baño.
Prometo regresar con MUCHOS REMIX para el 2018. ¿Qué dicen?
Esto fue parte de nuestro corre corre por el huracán. Este look fue uno de mis favoritos. ¿Les gusta?
I got this dress without trying it on first...yes totally my fault. I saw it hanged at Target and grabbed immediately as a piece I knew I could wear during Swim Week.♀️
I grabbed it because I loved the print and fabric but there was something about it that just felt "boring" on me- I think it was the neckline (a little too round, the buttons where grand-ma is).
After an hour of playing with it in the mirror (I added belts...tried wearing off the shoulder, backwards...but nothinggg), it finally came to me: why not add an edgy bralette, my favorite faux leather shorts underneath, and only close the button at the waist?
I liked the result and I'm happy I didn't give up on it (because I was about to return it)! Don't be afraid to rethink the pieces you already own or the ones you buy.
I saw a friend wearing it over jeans and it looks SO good. Also open like an over the shoulder, I'll give it a few tries to do a remix and show you that it is all about creativity!🖤

Este vestido lo compré sin probarmelo. Yo se yo se, ¿quién me manda!? Cuando lo vi en el gancho de Target, me llamó mucho la atención pero es que me lo imaginaba diferente.
Lo agarré porque me encanta el estampado de puntitos y la tela es ligera perfecta para el verno. Pero el cuello es muy redondo, lo cual con los botones lo hace ver un poco de abuelita en dÃa de misa.
QuerÃa ponérmelo para un evento durante #SwimWeek, y lo intenté todooo ( agregar cinturones, abrir los botones para que quedara como si fuese con los hombros al aire, al revés...) después de una hora haciendo un desastre en mi closet ( y sala y cocina), quise usarlo como si fuese un kimono/cardi.
Abrà todos los botones dejando solo el de la cintura cerrado y agregué un bralette con muchas tiritas, y mis shorts favoritos ! Me alegra no haberme rendido con este vestido porque me sacó de mi zona de confort y me obligó a verlo de otra manera! ¡Atrévanse a jugar con las piezas de que tienen/compran y sáquenle todo el provecho!
