Tuesday, July 24, 2018


And “The-Most-Useless-Accessory Award 🥇” goes to..... the tiny sunglasses trend 🕶 
Actually, scratch that! showing off your eyes and hiding your under-eye circles sounds pretty useful to me 🤣💓 do you love or hate this tren
d?


I'm going to link some fun styles below, in case you are looking for the perfect pair! 

((The lipstick color is: Thrill Seeker by Smashbox Cosmetics))

Y cuando pensé que estos lentes eran la cosa más inútil en cuanto a accesorios...me dí cuenta que esto de usarlos a media nariz hace que te tapen las ojeras🤣¿ que opinan ustedes de esta tendencia?

(( porque las conooooozco: el labial es Thrill Seeker de Smashbox, es uno de mis favoritos)




BELLY IS SPRING READY!

Friday, March 23, 2018



OK, so I need to stop procrastinating and start posting photos because I already feel this was ages ago. We took these photos last month and I already feel my belly is twice the size (6.5 months vs 7.5 months NOW!). 

I wore this to a few events in February. The first one was to a Victoria's Secret lunch celebrating the launch of their new perfume part of the Bombshell line. If you follow me on IG, you probably saw the stunning set-up and we all got beautiful denim jackets that said "HELLO BOMBSHELL" in the back. You all know I'm a sucker for denim jackets.

I was the first one there and basically the last-one to leave. I loved seeing all my blogger friends, especially in such a cute environment with delicious food.

Then I headed to my first baby event with Baby Dove. It was really interesting to hear from a pediatrician and start learning as much as I could.

This outfit was comfortable to wear all day, but still cute and put-together...plus perfect for SPRING!!!

Hope you have an amazing week ! XOXO







THE DALI MUSEUM... with "Le BUMP"

Thursday, March 15, 2018


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!

DENIZEN® From Levi’s® Jeans Take Over JAMAICA

Monday, August 7, 2017




As I shared last season, I’m part of the Denizen® from Levi’s® jeans Style Council (so exciting!!), and I love seeing how the other girls are wearing these incredible jeans. It’s true, they DO flatter and fit women of various body types amazingly… plus, because of the affordable price-point (they’re available at Target) you can express your style while staying on budget! 

I recently took a trip to Jamaica with my husband…and besides my swimsuits, sunglasses, and sunscreen, my DENIZEN jeans had to come with me. I brought the Modern Shorts for daytime outings, the Modern Cropped Flare for a dinner night and the Modern Ankle Skinny for traveling.

Let me show you how I styled them in Jamaica.

Learning to love my body again... Gingham + Slides

Tuesday, June 6, 2017



I took pictures of this look a few months ago and I couldn't post them because it was hard to see that person in the photos. It was a few weeks after the miscarriage and I'm still dealing with learning to love my body again. 

After "it" happened,  I had to rest for a few weeks (no exercise). And being 100% honest, I was eating my feelings away. I gained a few pounds and I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror. In a way I was (and still am) upset that my body 'failed' me.  It's such a hard feeling, you repeat yourself that that little phrase isn't true- but you can't stop but FEEL it.

I'm slowing learning to love it again, by taking care of it: exercising, eating healthy, filling my self with positive thoughts. I know it won't be easy but I'm getting there.  Part of me wants to open another "healthy/fitness" section. I want to share my journey from a "real perspective" (not from a nutritionist or trainer).  Let's see if I'm finally courageous enough to do it!

With so much love,

Nany.

Estas fotos las tomé hace un par de meses, pero no me atrevía a publicarlas porque no podía ver a la persona de estas fotos. Fue unas semanas después de la pérdida y definitivamente sigo batallando eso de volver a amar y aceptar mi cuerpo.

Después que "aquello" pasó, tuve que estar en reposo por un par de semanas. No podía hacer ejercicio y si les soy honesta comía de más para evitar algo la tristeza. Engordé varios kilitos, pero todo era parte de este resentimiento con mi propio cuerpo- de no "haber podido". Se que me van a decir que no me sienta así, pero es imposible no sentirlo. Mi cuerpo me falló de alguna manera y eso es un hecho.

Poco a poco estoy en proceso de volver a querer mi cuerpo, cuidarlo haciendo ejercicio, comiendo saludable y llenándome de pensamientos positivos. Se que no será fácil pero ahí voy. Parte de mi quiere abrir una cuenta o sección de "ser saludable" desde un punto de vista más real (no de una nutricionista ni entrenadora). Vamos a ver si finalmente me atrevo.

Mucho mucho amor.

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

Pero al mismo tiempo, "mató" a los blogs como tal. Casi inmediatamente después del gran boom, las vistas de los blogs bajaron sustancialmente. Empezó a ser muy común 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 razón, muchas se enfocaron en IG y dejaron el blog agarrando polvo...yo como muchas, dejé de actualizarlo a diario.  En estos momentos estoy intentando subir un post cada dos d días y regresaré 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 estrategías para seguir creciendo, pero ¿por qué 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 increíble para IG, ¿por qué 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 . 🙌🏼🙌🏼💓💓


5 FUN footwear trends for Spring 2017…with DSW

Sunday, April 9, 2017



New season is here…you know what that means: new “must haves”!! You all know I’m all about remixing and re-wearing what you own; but I also believe in investing in key pieces to refresh your wardrobe season after season.

When I was little, I had to use corrective orthopedic shoes for the first five years of my life. I remember going to the mall with my mom and staring at shoe stores just daydreaming about the day I could wear all those styles…that’s when my healthy shoe obsession began! Nowadays I still can’t wait to try out a new style!

Today I’m super excited to partner with DSW to show you five must-have trends for Spring 2017! There’s definitely one for every style personality; and they are so versatile that you are going to carry them throughout this spring, for any occasion!

Y la primavera llegó... ¡lo que significa que llegan nuevas tendencias!! Ustedes saben que a mi me encanta mezclar y hacer mis remix con las piezas que ya tengo; pero también creo en invertir en ciertas piezas cada temporada para mantener tu "Klozet al día y a la moda.

Cuando era chiquita, usé zapatos ortopédicos hasta los 5 años. Recuerdo que pasear por los centros comerciales con mi mamá y quedarme embelesada viendo los zapatos en las tiendas y soñando con algún día usar diferentes estilos. 

Hoy estoy muy feliz de colaborar con DSW para mostrarte mis 5 tendencias favoritas para esta temporada. ¡Definitivamente hay una para cada personalidad y son todas muy versátiles!


1. Espadrilles:


Espadrilles are the go-to style for Spring and Summer- especially if you are heading to any tropical vacation. This pair from Indigo RD is only $39.95 and it goes with absolutely all your favorite Summer outfits. I love the chic ankle tie too. This time I paired these light canvas shoes with my “exploring-a-new-city” outfit: some cool high waisted black jeans, a simple striped tee, a red bandana around the neck, a denim jacket, and a straw boater hat! You can also wear it with a flowy dress over your bathing suit or with a floral romper- so versatile!

Las alpargatas es uno de los modelos que nunca falla para la Primavera-Verano, especialmente si vas a hacer turismo en un destino tropical. Este par es de Indigo RD   ($39.95) va con todo tipo de outfits veraniegos. Esta vez lo combiné con unos jeans negros, una camisa de rayas, mi bandana roja, y mi sombrero favorito... este es como el look perfecto para explorar una nueva ciudad.  También puedes usarlo con un vestido suelto sobre tu traje de baño o con un romper de flores- versatilidad al máximo.








2.Athleisure

The sneaker trend isn’t going anywhere…and I’m not complaining, ‘cause my feet aren’t either! Even though I’m only 5’2, I absolutely love the “Athleisure” trend and how it’s appropriate to wear sneakers basically everywhere! You can go for a classic pair of white sneakers but I feel this season is the time to be a little more daring- these satin blush Madden Girl sneakers are EVERYTHING. Think pom poms, perforated leather, bows, embroidery, etc.

I went for a comfortable grey shirtdress with a super cool floral bomber that matched my blush sneakers perfectly.  You can also wear this edgy pair with boyfriend jeans and a light sweater or white overalls and a cute crop top.

La moda de los zapatos de gomas o sneakers no va a ningún lado.. y ¡no me quejo! (mis pies tampoco se quejan!!). Aunque solo mido un poco más de medio metro, amo la tendencia atlética y como podemos usar sneakers para todos lados.   Las temporadas pasadas vimos muchos sneakers blancos sencillos pero este año arriésgate un poco más. Por ejemplo, estos  de un tono rosa pálido con una bolita peluda son de  Madden Girl.


 Inspirada por el color de los zapatos, quise usarlos con un bomber floral del mismo color  rosado. También tengo pensado usarlos con unos jeans estilo boyfriend o con una braguita blanca y crop top. 







3. Embellishment

Add excitement to a basic shoe style with sequins, pompoms, embroidery, you name it! I love pumps and I love this modern take on pumps with its denim color, chic block heel (that’s also embroidered!!). This Jessica Simpson pair is definitely a head turner. You can wear them with denim (all denim with pops of red is so perfect for Spring). I can’t wait to wear it with a light white midi dress!!

Dale un toque divertido a los zapatos clásicos con lentejuelas, pompones, bordados, etc. A mi me encantan los tacones cerrados y este de mezclilla con bordado y tacón grueso me pareció . Este par es de Jessica Simpson - puedes usarlo con un look completo de mezclilla  (a mi me encanta todo denim con los toqes de rojo!), ¡pero también quedarán bellas con un vestido midi blanco!







4. Minimal Sandals

Some days you just want your outfit to shine; and that’s when a minimalist sandal does its job! Go for a nude minimal sandal to elongate your legs! Because I am still obsessed with velvet, I had to get these CL by Laundry Velvet Sandals; the color is perfect, the kitten heel is hotter than ever (and oh-so comfortbale!), and the price? Just $39.95! 

The luxe velvet texture inspired me to wear this for a night-out with the hubby. They go perfectly with a blush metallic skirt, white top, and statement earrings! You can also dress them down with jeans or a pastel colored romper!



Hay días que quieres que tu outfit sea totalmente el protagonista; y ahí es cuando las sandalias minimalistas hacen su trabajo. Por ejemplo, los días que quieras alargar tus piernas, busca unas del color de piel. Yo, que todavía sigo obsesionada con el terciopelo, escogí estas de CL by Laundry Velvet Sandals; com pueden ver, me encanta este tono rosa y el tacón bajo las hace cómodas pero elegantes para cualquier ocasión.

La textura elegante del terciopelo me inspiró para usarlas con una falda metalizada del mismo color; un top blanco, y unos aretes muy llamativos. Pero estos tacones también visten a unos jeans sencillos o a un romper de tonos pasteles.








5. Slides

Ok. I think this is my favorite trend for Spring 2017!! This style is backless and open toe, and they can be easily worn casually and formally. These red slides from Aldo add a little height (which I always appreciate!), and they are so comfortable! They also come in tan and black, but this shade of orangy-red makes a statement no matter how you wear them. While shooting them, I wanted to wear them with absolutely everything! You are going to see them a lot on the blog! They look amazing with cocktail dress..and well, more of a hipster-looking outfit! 

Ok, creo que esta es mi favorita . Este estilo es el más fácil de usar tanto en ocasiones casuales como formales. Estas son de Aldo y ni  se imaginan lo cómodas que son (pero me dan un par de centímetros extra, cosa que siempre aprecio). Vienen en tan, negras, y en este tono de rojo-anaranjado (que se ve bellísimo con lo que utilices). Me costó mucho escoger que outfit porque básicamente quería usarlas con todo. Estoy segura que las verán muchísimo en el blog.








What’s your favorite footwear trend this season?
