Wednesday, April 2, 2014



Hey girls!  How are you?
Today I’m going to show you some of my favorite outfits for spring and how you can wear them during the AM. I’ll also give you some quick beauty tips to look your best in the morning….because successful women start bright and early.

¡Hola chicas! ¿CĂłmo están?
Hoy les voy a mostrar algunos de mis looks mañaneros favoritos para esta primavera. TambiĂ©n les voy a dar algunos tips de belleza sencillos para lucir de lo mejor en la mañana. Porque las mujeres exitosas empiezan sus mañanas temprano. 



Outfit #1: University Comfy


grad-school ready


This outfit is the perfect mix between being comfy and looking appropriate for school/university/grad school. The boyfriend jeans balance out the crisp white blouse and the camel accessories give the look a laid back vibe. I would pair this outfit with a messy high bun and with minimal makeup. To achieve a no-makeup makeup look, I recommend you try Olay Fresh Effect {BB Cream!}; it gives you 24 hour hydration, and a sheer color for skin-perfecting coverage.



Este outfit es el balance perfecto entre estar cĂłmoda, pero igual verte arreglada para el colegio/universidad.  A mi me encanta como se ve este tipo de jeans, estilo “boyfriend”, con una camisa blanca clásica; aparte los accesorios marrones le dan un toque más relajado. Yo combinarĂ­a este look con un moño alto y con poco maquillaje. Para lograr un “sin maquillaje’ maquillaje, te recomiendo Olay Fresh Effect {BB Cream!}; te da 24 horas de hidrataciĂłn y un poquito de color para emparejar las pequeñas imperfecciones.


How to wear the Peter Pilotto for Target collection?

Saturday, February 8, 2014




I know you have probably seen the Peter Pilotto for Target collection EVERYWHERE- I absolutely love most of the pieces. I was in NYC a couple of days ago for the private shopping event; so I was lucky enough to get a couple of pieces before they sold out the first day.

Even though I think the lookbook is gorgeous...it still is very editorial. Not all women can wear head-to-toe prints pieces. Reason why I wanted to do an easy guide showing you how you can rewear these pieces with items you already have in your closet. I got the 3 pieces above, so this is like a sneak peek of how you will see me wearing it. I also got to interview the designers, check out the answers below.

The collection hit stores tomorrow February 9th (or at Target.com). Let me know what you thought of the collection and how would you wear it.


INTERVIEW WITH THE PETER PILOTTO DESIGNERS:
1.      As soon as I saw the collection, I felt it was designed Miami/Caribbean girls.  Who was "the girl" that inspired this collection?

Peter Pilotto: When designing, we always keep our customers in mind and while this collaboration is different from our mainline collection, the PETER PILOTTO woman is the same. She is always playful with her style and tends to dress in a modern way – mixing high-end with high-street.


2.      I feel like the collection can be described as "print perfection." What tips would you give my readers on how to mix prints correctly?

Christopher De Vos: Be playful with how you style them; you can either wear a full look or break them up. Ultimately, it’s all about what makes you feel the most confident.

PP: Everyone should try wearing prints, even people who don’t like them – it’s refreshing to explore.

3.      What is your favorite piece of the collection?

PP: We both really love all of the swim pieces. The cropped swim top is so chic and versatile – it can be worn with our pencil skirt and canvas slip-ons and look just as good in the city or at the beach.
CDV: It’s so fun that women can own swimwear with a matching skirt and top – you can arrive on the beach and take off a layer, and underneath it’s still the same fun print.

Me imagino que ya habrán visto en todos lados la colecciĂłn de Peter Pilotto para Target...a mi me fascinaron casi todas las piezas.  Hace dos dĂ­as estuve en Nueva York para un evento privado donde pude comprar piezas antes que salieran a la venta en todas las tiendas.

Siento que el lookbook está muy bien hecho pero es muy editorial, no es tan fácil utilizar muchos estampados a la vez. Razón por la cual quise hacer este artículo mostrando como utilizar de una manera real las tres prendas que compré. Ya me verán utilizando las piezas pero este es como un adelanto de como tengo pensado utilizarlas.

¡¡La colecciĂłn va a estar a la venta MANANA 9 de febrero en Target.com!! ¡¡CuĂ©ntenme que les pareciĂł esta colecciĂłn y como la usarĂ­an!!





ENTREVISTA A LOS DISENADORES DE PETER PILOTTO PARA TARGET:


1.      Apenas vi la colecciĂłn me encantĂł lo alegre de los estampados y los colores que utilizaron para la colecciĂłn...muy Miami. ¿En quĂ© se inspiraron al momento de diseñar?

Peter Pilotto: Cuando diseñamos, siempre intentamos tener a nuestras clientes en mente; y aunque esta colaboraciĂłn con Target es diferente a nuestra colecciĂłn principal, la muter que usa PETER PILOTTO es la misma. "Ella" es divertida, le gusta experimentar con su estilo y tiende a vestirse muy moderna.


2.   Para mi esta colecciĂłn puede describirse como "perfecciĂłn de estampados". ¿QuĂ© consejos les darĂ­an a mis lectores sobre como mezclar estampados correctamente?  

Christopher De Vos: Se atrevida al usarlos; puedes usar un look completo mezclando estampados o por separado. Lo más importante es que te sientas cómoda y segura de ti misma.

PP:  Todas las mujeres deben intentar usar estampados; asĂ­ no te gusten. Es divertido explorar y jugar con diferentes estilos.

3.     ¿QuĂ© pieza es tu favorita de la colecciĂłn?

PP: A ambos nos encantan los trajes de baño. Hay un top cortito con tela de traje de baño que es muy chic y versátil- puedes usarlo con nuestra falda y verte espectacular tanto en la ciudad como en la playa.
CDV: Es muy divertido que las mujeres pueden tener un traje de baño con el mismo estampado que la camisa y falda que llevan a la playa- facilmente pueden quitarse esas piezas al llegar a la playa, pero todavía están usando el mismo estampado.
