“I live where you vacation”…

I heard that phrase for the first time as soon as I moved to Miami…and it made me appreciate more the beautiful city I live in. People all over the world visit Miami for their gorgeous beautiful beaches, white sand, and friendly people….and to do that, I just have to put my favorite bathing suit and cross the bridge that takes me from Downtown to Miami Beach.

Talking about bathing suits, I have a weakness for reversible and versatile bikinis- like this one I’m wearing from LOFT. I love how I can wear it with the stripes print or with the paisley one. To make it even better, you can fold the high waisted bottom- which gives you a touch of the second print and it’s perfect for tanning. I was so inspired by the pretty prints from LOFT that why not mix them up? The Paisley Tasseled Sarong works also to lay down on the sand…but I absolutely love how it looks in a turban. Last touch? Round sunglasses (which have become my favorite sunglasses style), a striped beach bag, and tasseled caftan for another pretty print.

Who is ready for summer?!! I know I am.

Last month we asked you if you would like to see more editorial pics...the answers were a definite yes...so here's another one!! This helps me switch from streetstyle styling to a more editorial magazine type of styling (plus it's fun to be a model wannabe). It also helps Gabo grow as a photographer... sometimes we feel we are a little stuck in streetstyle. During my styling classes in the university; the professor said is perfectly fine to "copy" another shoots when you are developing as a stylist- then you'll find your own voice or style. A while ago I saw an amazing editorial with huge turbans, tribal accessories, and fun prints...so this one is our interpretation. When we were heading out of the apartment, I was like "please God don't let anybody get in the elevator with us... I felt like a crazy lady with the turban and lots of accesories. We are very happy with the final result and I hope you like it too! XOXO

Hace un tiempito les preguntamos si les gustaría ver sesiones de fotos un poquito más editoriales... y nos dijeron que si!!. Esto me ayuda a practicar un estilismo más editorial (y me divierte un poco jugar a ser modelo por el día), y también ayuda a Gaby como fotógrafo. En una de mis clases de estilismo en la universidad el profesor mencionó que cuando uno está practicando, es totalmente aceptable "copiar" o inspirarse en algo ya hecho (claro dándole tu toque). Hace un tiempo vi un editorial espectacular con turbante, estampados tribales, y accesorios llamativos...y esta fue nuestra interpretación.  Cuando salí del apartamento con el turbante puesto, lo único que hice fue cruzar dedos para que nadie se montara en el ascensor...me sentía como una loca con tantos accesorios y el turbante. Ambos quedamos muy contentos con el resultado y esperamos que les gusten las fotos.
