I know I know. This is nothing new. I actually remember Tezza (a fashion blogger) doing this a WHILE ago. 

Recently, it became a trend on Tiktok. 

But just like any trend,  it is fun to make it YOUR OWN. And like I said on my previous post "10 things about Quarantine Life", we truly enjoy having little photoshoots. My husband is a photographer and videographer, so we try to make it fun for both of us.

Yo sé que esto no es nada nuevo. Hay muchas bloggers que llevan haciendo esto desde hace varios años.

Recientemente se convirtió en tendencia en Tiktok.

 Y como cualquier tendencia,  es cheer darle TU TOQUE. Nosotros nos divertimos tomando fotos y mi esposo que es fotógrafo se mantiene creativo así. 

But back to the at home photoshoot. We live in a small apartment with a small balcony (it isn't the tiniest balcony ever but it is small)- and that was our challenge. Also, we didn't want to show much of the buildings around us.

I had this idea of bringing a second mirror out, so we could play with double reflections. 

I ended up loving the pictures. Let me know what you think and if you try /have tried the trend!

El mayor reto es que vivimos en un apartamento con un balcón relativamente pequeño (este reto es increíblemente cool en jardines grandes). Tampoco queríamos que se notaran MUCHO los edificios que tenemos alrededor.

También se me ocurrió sacar un segundo espejo y jugar con las reflexiones.

Me gustó mucho el resultado. ¡Cuéntame que te parece la tendencia y si la has intentado!

Fashion-wise, my biggest resolution for 2020 is to shop smart! My #1 rule used to be “Don’t buy it unless you can picture 3 ways wearing that item”. Well, from now on, I’ve increased the 3 ways to 5 ways…YES FIVE!

So I believe in investing in high-quality pieces that are trendy but you can update season after season. Reason why, Nordstrom is my go-to for shopping! The quality is amazing, there is great variety of items and brands….and when there are sales (like RIGHT NOW), I have to stop-by!

Let me show you what I got:

The first piece was this leather jacket that was 40% off. I’ve been looking for a faux-leather jacket like this one for YEARS. This one from Topshop fit is incredible, it feels very luxe, and I know I’m going to wear it non-stop! Better news: it also comes in PETITE!

Then I saw this easy-to-wear NEW YORK graphic tee (similar HERE), under $15!! I love simple oversized tee and I wear them with anything and everything. 

This time I wanted to pair it with the sequins skirt from Halogen that I got last month- which BTW, if you didn’t get it in December, it is now 40% off (such an amazing deal and it comes in black, gold and blue!). TIP: size down since it runs a tiny bit big!

Then going through a different rack, I saw this brick orange jumpsuit from Topshop and I loved it because it is different from anything I own. It is supposed to be cropped, but hey petite over here! It just sold out but here is a cute short skirt version, I personally LOVE the pink corduroy one.

 I played with the fall tones and I added a Burgundy hat and a green velvet bag that is under $50! 

I also got a few pieces for my little boy and a new leggings + sports bra set, but more on that later!

Which look was your favorite?

Head out to Nordstrom to see more of the amazing pieces on sale!

I love the idea of adding a bit of Holiday sparkle throughout the season- and beyond, because who said sequins are only for the Holidays?

This Holiday season I wanted to add a sequin midi skirt to my wardrobe. Yes, it is a statement piece BUT it is also extremely versatile - and I’m ALL about versatility. I have a feeling that this skirt will come handy year after year. This one is from Halogen, from Nordstrom- it also comes in blue, gold, and black sequins. I actually was super indecisive - especially because the blue one is GORGEOUS.

Since I like mixing dressier items with casual items. I decided to pair the sequin skirt with a gray crop-top sweater from Topshop. It really balances the sparkle of the skirt, it makes the look more comfortable, AND it is still super cute and dressy for any HOLIDAY PARTY.

Then walking around Nordstrom, I saw this gorgeous pink feathered bag and I knew it had to be mine. I’ve worn it twice already and I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. It’s the perfect size to fit exactly what you need, and it works from day to night. I wore it with jeans and it was definitely the perfect touch to a casual look too.

The final stop was the GIFT section at the store. Nordstrom has great holiday gift guides for inspiration on what to get anyone in your life. Here are some last-minute gift ideas:

I was looking for a few things for my cousins and sisters in law. And again, I got distracted with these earrings and headband- they are such perfect gifts I ended up getting them from me lol- don’t blame me! The headband is BaubleBar I love it in black but with my dark hair, the pink one popped better! And these star earrings are EVERYTHING AND MORE!

I'm amused by the amount of hate in social media. Every time I find a cute video, I try not to scroll to the comment section because most of the times, no matter what, people find something to criticize.

I'm not saying not to SPEAK UP,  but it's always better to look at things positively. See the beauty, and SPEAK LOVE!

¡ De verdad que me quedo impresionada cada vez que encuentro un video lindo, divertido, o interesante, porque todos la sección de comentarios está siempre llena de tanto odio- sin importar lo que sea, algo critican.

No digo que tengamos miedo a hablar. No digo que "calladita te ves más bonita", porque NO es así. ¡Pero realmente el mundo cambia cuando empiezas a ver la belleza en todo y a hablar con AMOR!
