Over the years, I've focused in recommending you guys versatile pieces that can create an even more versatile closet.
However, unique statement pieces can also be as fun to play around. I personally take it as a challenge- this article would have been 100% easier if the beret was black, right?
So let's get into it. How STYLE A PINK BERET?
If you have been following me for a while you know tight/stretchy dresses are not my thing. I love oversized things, a good A line, and flowy dresses. However, nothing fits in my closet anymore ...and I kind of wish I had a few more cotton dresses like this one.
This pregnant combo is very common in the Kardashian family; they love bodycon dresses with duster coats and heels- and well, like I said before, they are out of my comfort zone. But again, all the fun stuff happens when you try stuff out of your comfort zone.
I originally wore it for a maternity shoot with my friend Karla Garcia- I added a cozy long cardigan and it was all shot at home. After she left, I had little time to change to go to the Create & Cultivate event I was speaking at. So I told myself: WHY NOT, let's just add this duster I have and give it a go. And I really pushed myself because I wore something I was not used to in front of at least a hundred people. It was fun!
Ok. So the main reason my husband Gabe wanted to go to St. Petersburg was to visit the Dalí Museum. Not necessarily because he is the biggest Salvador Dalí fan, but because he really wanted to photograph it (photographer first world problems, I know!).
We got there and it was breathtaking, a little smaller than expected but still BEAUTIFUL. When you get there, the first floor has a souvenir section and a little cafe. The second floor has the permanent and current exhibits. And finally, there is the garden. It is a must- visit if you go to St. Pete.
My favorite piece was Dali's Lincoln. When you look at it up close, it looks like a naked woman staring at a beautiful sunset. However, if you take your phone out or go back enough, it turns into a portrait of President Lincoln.
About my look: I got these plaid maternity leggings a few months ago at ASOS. I thought they were fun, young, and still comfortable for pregnancy. I want to do a remix with them because I know they look a bit harder to style than they actually are.
I also LOVE the shirt, I wasn't sure if I should get the "preggers" tee or this one that says "Le Bump". I thought this one was cuter, but I still like them both. Final touch: a pop of red and a cool sunnies!
Have you ever been to this museum? Are you a fan of Dalí?
YOU MAKE ME MELT!

I'm reading this book called BIG MAGIC- well, I have been reading it slowly since forever. Don't judge me. It's just that every little story gives me so much to think about that I like to take my time. I
recently read about "ORIGINALITY VS AUTHENTICITY" and I wanted to share it with you gals.
When I was asked about the "key to success" when becoming a blogger, I would always talk about originality- finding what would make you unique or that gap of "what has never been seen before".
And I was wrong, it isn't originality what makes you unique is AUTHENTICITY. Whatever you chose to do in life probably has been done before (and by far more experienced, talented, and overall "better" people), but nobody has ever done it like YOU.
So if you ever doubt yourself because there is someone already out there doing it, remember that if it comes from your heart, without trying to imitate anybody or fake originality, it will work. I promise! or at least you will enjoy every second of it!
I took these photos in January and never published them because I felt there was absolutely nothing special about them. The outfit was just "okay", the shirt was a bit wrinkled, and I could have added a hat or some burgundy lipstick. I could have gone to a cooler place.
I honestly miss the days when the bloggers wore normal clothes, when it wasn't about who was doing which campaign or who was getting the most likes, when it wasn't about having 100 props and it was jus aboutt shooting in front on your house with a simple camera, and when it was about shooting about what you actually wore instead of freezing in the snow for a cute shot.
I felt more inspired back them. There is something about today's perfection that doesn't resonate with me. I look at these girls with their perfect makeup, with the latest trend (that most of the times, it is absolutely ridiculous), with the crazy fabulous trips, and I don't even aspire to be like them.
Maybe I didn't evolve with the time.
Maybe I'm just being nostalgic of a simpler time.
Maybe I'll just keep being me and someone out there will identify with my imperfection.

Hey loves! On Instagram I told you girls to ASK AWAY any your questions about my pregnancy. Again, I don't want to FULLY turn into mom blogger but this blog is my life adventure and I want to take you all with me in the biggest adventure ever: MOTHERHOOD!
So I picked most from the comments in a picture or from the DMs I got.
Let's do this!!
¡Hola hermosas! En Instagram les pedí que me preguntaran sin pena cualquier duda o cosas que quisiesen saber sobre mi embarazo. Mi meta no es convertir este blog en uno de mamá pero si quiero compartir con ustedes esta gran aventura que nos viene.
Escogí las preguntas más frecuentes o divertidas de los comentarios y de los mensajes privados. Por ahora están en ingles pero porque quiero hacer un video para mi Youtube en español!
¡EMPECEMOS!
Feeling the 70s inspiration in this full look by Modcloth . As soon as I put it on, it reminded me of my favorite photo of my mom in the 70s with flared jeans, a turtleneck, and a coat over the shoulders. I love how everything comes back in style, what's your favorite decade?
I'm also getting lots of requests for more winter looks- which is so hard living in Miami but this one definitely is a great look for colder days. The colorful confetti coat is a DREAM and it is more versatile that you would think.
Con este look de Modcloth me sentí muy setentosa . Apenas me lo puse, me recordó a una de mis fotos favoritas de mi mamâ a mediados de los 70s donde está usando unos pantalones bota ancha, una camisa de cuello alto y un abrigo sobre los hombros. Me encanta como las tendencias siempre regresan, ¿cuál es tu década favorita en cuanto a la moda? .
También me han estado pidiendo más looks de invierno- y aunque se me hace difícil (y a veces parezco una loca en suéter en Miami) me gusta la idea de mostrarles variedad en todas las estaciones.
¿Les gustó?
Pretending I'm super cool in Acorn Street 🤣...but the truth is, it was a bad idea to be wearing these boots in a cobblestoned street! According to Wiki, " Acorn Street in Beacon Hill is often mentioned as the "most frequently photographed street in the United States." It is a narrow lane paved with cobblestones that was home to coachmen employed by families in Mt. Vernon and Chestnut Street mansions"
Also, I totally stole this hoodie from Mr. Gabe. He rocks as a shirt, the fit for me is more like a hoodie dress- which I LOVED, especially when paired with these over-the-knee boots.
At the end of this post, you can find some similar versions to the items I'm wearing!

Dándome de la mas cool en una de las calles de piedritas más antigua de Boston llamada Acorn Street (la cual también, según Wiki, es una de las calles más fotografiadas de Estados Unidos) - pero si les soy sincera, fue una mala idea andar caminando por ahí con estas botas.
El hoodie/suéter es de Mr. Gabe. Obviamente a el le queda genial como camisa- a mi me quedaba larga como un vestidito (cosa que me encantó). Me parece que este estilo de suéter ancho se ve genial con botas a la rodilla para esos días de otoño que están a la vuelta de la esquina.
¡Al final del post les dejo enlaces a piezas similares a lo que llevo!
¡BESOS!
This day, I put my sneakers and we walked, and walked, and walked around Boston!
Confession, the last time I visited it was right after a summer camp ( I was almost 13) and I hated it! Boy, Little-Teenage-Nany was WRONG...this city is BEAUTIFUL 💓💓
We headed to a few places you guys recommended: Chloe (vegan place), the Aquarium, Acorn Street, and we had pastries in Vittoria in North End! While we walked, the eclipse was happening and we had no glasses...but a sweet older man and his family let us use theirs; and it was MAGIC 🌞🌚 were you able to see it?💛
Como dice mi mami, hoy caminamos mas que cochino chiquito 🐖🐖🤣🤣 fuimos a muchos de los lugares que me recomendaron en la foto anterior (¡mil gracias!!) y de verdad que estoy enamorada de esta ciudad😍😍
Les confieso que la primera (y única vez) que fui, fue después de un campamento a unas 3 horas de Boston cuando tenía 13 años- y no me gustó para nada. Digamos que la Nany de 13 años no tenía idea lo que estaba hablando.
Mientras caminábamos, todo el mundo estaba afuera por el eclipse ...y nosotros los únicos sin lentes🙄🙄 (por despistados jajaja) pero un señor y su familia nos prestaron los de ellos...y WOW que mágico! ¿Lo pudieron ver?🌑🌞🌙
During the Boston visit for a wedding, our first stop was the Lawn on D. It is a super cool park with food trucks, swings, live size jengo, and more. Apparently this is the cliche pic at Lawn on D...but I had to take it. I had to stalk groups of girls while they each took 100 photos (and boomerangs of course💁🏻)...and then fight for my spot when a swing was finally available! I still have many pics from Boston to share, stay tuned💓💓
After that we walked to a Mexican restaurant ( I need to start writing down names) with a couple of friends. My look- well, it is my rocker uniform, and super comfortable to explore a new city!
Have an amazing day!
Aparentemente esta es la foto cliche en un parque en Boston que se llama Lawn on D . Este parque tiene food trucks, bebidas, juegos (que si Jenga gigante, bolas criollas, etc), y estos columpios que no pasaban ni un segundo desocupados (es que entre IG, Stories, Snap, y Boomerangs una fotico se convierte en una sesión). ¡ Todavía tengo fotos por compartir de Boston, poco a poco iré actualizando el blog!
Después fuimos caminando a un restaurante mexicano en el arena (DIVINO). Pero soy un desastre y nunca me acuerdo de los nombres. Mi look es mi uniforme cuando me siento edgy- cómodo y cool para explorar una ciudad.
¡FELIZ DIA!

WHOOP WHOOP! So excited to have another special guest on the blog. My dear friend and fellow blogger: ANDREA ERASO!
You can also check out my first 10 questions, with Gaby from Voguish Diet by clicking here.
Andre and I met a few years ago while I was visiting my family in Venezuela. Not going to lie, we didn't instantly click as friends but I'm so happy we became friends last year ! She is hilarious but also says things as they are- plus I absolutely love her style!
She is currently living in México with her boyfriend (who is part of a super cool band called "Los Mesoneros") and their puppy called Lara (the most adorable puppy with the most gorgeous blue eyes!).
A few weeks ago, we met to go to an event together and we took advantage of this opportunity to take pictures together. We arrived at the event with Valentina and Gaby (yes Gaby was the 1st in this little section, and Valentina should be next). Don't we look so Sex and the City? I asked on IG who do you think each one is? I consider myself a total Miranda.
Let's get started!
¡QUE EMOCION! Ya tengo otra invitada en esta sección... y me emociona mucho porque es mi querida amiga y blogger: ANDREA ERASO.
También pueden ver el primer artículo que hice de este estilo con Gaby de Voguish Diet haciendo click por acá.
Andrea y yo nos conocimos hace un par de años en unos de mis viajes a Venezuela para visitar a mi familia. No les voy a mentir, no nos hicimos amigas instantáneamente- yo me la imaginaba toda creída y WOW me equivoqué. Hablamos todos los días, me hace reír, pero también es esa amiga que te dice las cosas como son. Y para completar, me encanta su estilo.
En estos momentos vive en México con su novio (quien es parte de una banda muy cool llamada "Los Mesoneros), y su perrita Lara (¡la cachorra con los ojos más bellos del mundo!).
Hace unas semanas, ella estaba de visita en Miami y antes de un evento aprovechamos para tomar fotos juntas. Llegamos al evento con otras dos amigas bloggers (Gaby, que ya se las presenté en el articulo anterior y Valentina que se que pronto la tendré de invitada especial). Díganme si no parecemos salidas de una versión nueva de Sex and the City.
¡Ok empecemos con la mini entrevista!
1. What do you like the most about blogging? What do you like the least?
I love being able to share my passion for fashion, show my point of view when it comes to trends, and being able to give a personal touch to everything I share.
I don't like when it gets competitive; in the blogging world, there shouldn't be any type of competition. We all have something great to share and we should complement each other instead of feeling superor.
2. Your favorite trend at the moment:
Hmmmmm.
That's actually a good question. I really like the "Yellow glasses" trend, it gives a cool touch to any outfit; also, I'm loving shirts under dresses!
3. Describe your style in 3 words:
Trendy, comfortable and accessible.
1. ¿Qué es lo que más te gusta de ser blogger? ¿Lo menos?
Poder compartir mi pasión por la moda, enseñar mi visión de tendencias y siempre buscar una manera de darle un toque personal a todo lo que comparta.
Cuando se vuelve competitivo, en este mundo del blogging no debería existir la competencia, cada quien aporta su granito de arena y complementarse siempre es mejor a creer sentirse superior.
2. Tu tendencia favorita del momento:
Hmmmm.
¡Esa es una muy buena pregunta! Me gusta mucho la tendencia de Yellow glasses, siento que le da un toque muy cool a cualquier outfit y sin duda ¡el shirt under dress trend me gusta mucho!
3. Tu estilo en 3 palabras:
Trendy, cómodo, y accesible.

4. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I'd love to know that; but I would like to be the owner of a company, not working for anybody, and creating a brand that inspires a lot of people.
5. If you could swap wardrobes with any style or influencer, who would it be?
I've always liked Jessica Alba's style, Carolina Silva (@Caromng), and of course, my friend Nany from Nany's Klozet
6. What's your favorite song by your boyfriend's band "Los Mesoneros"?
There is one I absolutely love and they obviously did it to make women fall in love with them. It is called "Riesgo". I really like "Luna" too.
4. ¿Donde te ves en 10 años?
¡Eso me encantaría saberlo! Pero me gustaría siendo la dueña de mi propio negocio, no trabajar para nadie y ¡crear una marca de algo que me inspire mucho!
5. Si pudieses intercambiar "klozets" con cualquier celebridad o influencer: ¿quién sería y por qué?
Siempre me ha encantado como se viste Jessica Alba, Carolina Silva (@caromng) y por supuesto mi amiga Nany de @Nanysklozet
6. ¿Cuál es tu canción favorita de Los Mesoneros"?
Hay una que me encanta y obviamente ellos la hicieron para enamorar a todas las mujeres con esa canción y es "Riesgo" también me gusta mucho "Luna".
7. Tell us more about your cute dog, Lara Miranda.
My lovely Lara or how I called her: Chipili is a 4-month old Aussie. It's impressive how fast she learns and how smart she is. Although she is still a little rebel puppy, I laugh a lot with all her naughty moments. She is getting more and more loving each day and I love that.
8. A piece that is and will always be in your closet:
I know it sounds basic but definitely a white T-Shirt is a must in any closet. But if I have to choose a fun piece, I would say a fur jacket!
7. Cuéntanos un poquito de tu perrita Lara Miranda Sucre.
Mi bellísima Lara o como le digo yo, Chipili entre muchos más sobrenombres es una Aussie de 4 meses que me tiene impresionada de lo inteligente que es, aprende muy rápido ¡aunque sigue con sus rebeldías de cachorra que me dan mucha risa! Cada día se vuelve más amorosa y eso me encanta.
8. ¿Una pieza que no puede faltar en tu "klozet"?
Va a sonar muy básico, pero una T-shirt blanca es un must en cualquier closet y si ponemos otra pieza más divertida: ¡una chaqueta de pelos!
9. Your favorite designer or favorite store:
I always say that I prefer European stores than American stores. I identify more with the European fashion and the quality is better. I'm talking about affordable brands like Stradivarius, and Zara.
10. An advice to anyone wanting to work in fashion or in social media:
Always, no matter what you do, give it your personal touch. The world needs originality! The world doesn't need to see the same thing over and over again. Show your personality.
Bonus question: What should I ask the next blogger guest?
What's your most valuable item in your closet?
9. Tu diseñador o tienda favorita:
Siempre he dicho que me gustan más las tiendas europeas a las americanas, la moda va más con mi estilo y la calidad es mejor. Hablo de marcas accesibles, tal como Stradivarius, Zara, etc. ¡Ya que son las que suelo comprar!
10. Un consejo que le darías a todas esas mujeres queriendo trabajar en moda o e las redes:
Que siempre, lo que se propongan a hacer le den su toque personal, ¡el mundo no necesita ver más de lo mismo! necesita originalidad y un poco de personalidad.
Pregunta extra: ¿Qué debería preguntarle a la próxima invitada especial en esta sección?
¿Qué es lo más preciado que tiene en el closet?

And this is it for TODAY! Can't wait to have another #bloggerBFF talk here!
