I'm sure you remember the look on the right, I just wore it last week to have dinner with my parents while they were in Miami (check it out HERE: "Wear it backwards")... but what you didn't know is that the look was a little different a couple of hours earlier (more casual and more comfortable). I just switched the white shorts for a tight skirt and the wedges for umps. At first I didn't want to publish the 1st look because they look so similar- and the one with the detail in the front is much cuter! However, I thought it was a cool idea to show you that you don't need to completely change to go out at night.. just switch a couple of pieces! I hope you liked it! XOXO

Lately I have been obsessed with royal blue- as soon as I saw this shirt, I loved it (not only because of the color, you know I love cute details on the collar too). WHen I was linking the shirt, I realized the model wore it with a striped skirt too ( I completely forgot, I'm sure it stayed on my subconscious or something). My boyfriend's family is in town visiting and we went out to have dinner with them at a Mexican restaurant. Reason why I wanted to look casual but still cute and put-together. How's your weekend going? XOXO

No se porque últimamente me atraen mucho las piezas azul rey- y apenas vi esta camisa me encanto (no solo por el color sino también el detalle que tiene en el cuello <3 ). Me acabo de dar cuenta que la modelo en la página de la camisa también estaba usando una falda de rayas- pero de verdad que se me habÃa olvidado completamente (tal vez se quedó en mi inconsciente!). La familia de mi novio está de visita en Miami, y fuimos a comer- querÃa usar algo casual y cómodo pero que se viera arregladito al mismo tiempo. Fuimos a un restaurante de comida mexicana riquÃsima. ¿Cómo están pasando el fin de semana? Un abrazo inmenso!!!
I feel like I haven't done a "Celebrity inspired- look for less" in a while- this time I chose Kristin Cavallari wearing a pleated leather skirt. I looked for this type of skirt for so long, I know H&M has one but the closest store is almost two hours away. So finally found one at a reasonable price at Storets, the shipping was free and I swear it arrived in just one day (considering it came from the UK). My complete look, head-to-toes costs under $150- details below- while just Kristin's skirt is over $400 (and that's not even looking at her $3,500 Chanel bag). I have so many outfits planned for this skirt, I know I'm going to be wearing it A LOT! I hope you liked the outfit! HAPPY FRIDAY and enjoy your weekend! XOXO
ps: do you use lookbook? I'm about to reach 10,000 fans!! SO excited! Follow me HERE
I also have a hair tutorial for this type of braid, it's in Spanish but in case you want to check it out... click here.
__________________________Siento que tenÃa tiempo sin hacer un look por menos- en este caso escogà a Kristin Cavallari usando una falda de cuero con pliegues. TenÃa meses buscando una falda como esta, se que H&M tiene una pero en Miami no hay esa tienda- pero la vi en una página de internet llamada Storets a un precio razonable... y no lo podÃa creer, llegó en 2 dÃas (considerando que venÃa de Inglaterra!). Mi look completo, de pies a cabeza, cuesta menos de $150- mientras solo la falda de Kristin, de Alice+Olivia, cuesta $400 (y eso sin contar su Chanel de $3,500). Tengo muchÃsimas ideas para esta falda, creo que no me la voy a quitar por un buen tiempo. Espero que les haya gustado el outfit; FELIZ VIERNES y FELIZ FIN DE SEMANA! Un abrazo!
Pd: ¿usan lookbook? Estoy a 21 fans de llegar a las 10 MIL, estoy super emocionada! Sigueme AQUI.

When I do a "remix", I like having at least 5 completely different looks- I feel like I challenge myself more if I have 5 looks in mind instead of three (like most of sites do). This week I realized that I have a lot of remixes with 3-4 looks (from green jeans and metallic jeans, to a leather, a floral, and a yellow skirt). I'm going to wear this pieces soon so I don't feel like the "remix" is incomplete. This time I chose a black sheer blouse- I've worn it with a strapless stop underneath in look #1, with a detachable collar (look #2), button up with a necklace (look #3) and open as a cardigan (look #4)... and I'm SURE you will see this shirt a lot more here!

A mi me gusta hacer remixes con al menos 5 looks totalmente diferentes- asà me reto más a mi misma. Pero esta semana me di cuenta que tengo muchÃsimos remixes de 3-4 looks (jeans verdes, jeans metálicos, falda amarilla, camisa beige, falda de cuero, y falda de estampado floral)- voy a intentar usar justamente esas piezas estas semanas para completarlos a 5 y no sentir que el remix esta "incompleto". Hoy les muestro esta camisa ancha negra- un poco transparente. La he usado con una camisa strapless debajo para que la transparencia se vea como un detalle (look 1), con un cuello quita-y-pon (look 2), cerrada hasta el último botón con un collar debajo (look 3) y abierta como si fuera un cardigan (look #4).
Which one is your favorite?

This weekend was a long one because yesterday was "President's day"- which meant.. no class; and the best part was that Miami had perfect weather the past couple of days, sunny but not humid! Reason why on Sunday, we headed to the beach for a little bit- we ate there and enjoyed the gorgeous afternoon. We went to Key Biscayne, because they allow dogs there and there were a lot of people swimming in the beach and on little sailboats. About my outfit: I wore an oversize vintage blouse from Furor as a swimsuit coverup (with a big hat and comfy summer sandals). Thank you so much for stopping by! You rock!

While the first time I wore these jeans was with a denim shirt, making it really casual- this time I tried more of classic combo- staple pieces every woman should have in their closet: black pumps, a classic bag, and a white blouse. Instead of adding a necklace, I added a black ribbon to make a little bow. I wore this outfit to get together with a couple of friends at a friend's place- he was cooking and I swear he does the best argentinian bbq in the whole world! What do you think of this classic take on the leopard skinnies? Happy Monday! XOXO

Mientras que la primera vez que utilicé estos jeans fue en una combinación más casual por denim- en esta ocasión quise mantener todas las piezas muy clásicas para que los pantalones fueran como la parte divertida y trendy del outfit. En vez de utilizar un collar con la blusa blanca, la cerré hasta el cuello y amarré una cinta negra en forma de lazito. Este outfit lo utilicé para ir a casa de la novia de un amigo, en donde nos reunimos todo mi grupo y la pasamos súper chevere! El es argentino, y les juro que hace el mejor churrasco y chimichurri del mundo ¿Qué opinan de esta forma de usar los jeans de leopardo? FELIZ LUNES! Un abrazo!
I spent most of my day yesterday at IKEA- I got this crazy idea of turning the living room into my little fashion office. Let me explain you, I don't know why my apartment had two living rooms so we put walls/door in one of them and made it into what was supposed to be). I seriously love how it looks so far ( I tweeted and put a preview on instagram, I'm @nanysklozet on both), it's exactly what I had in mind for it. After walking like crazy in IKEA, we headed to eat with my family. A couple of people stared at my hair accessory, but I don't care.. I think it's amazing, it really transform a casual outfit like this one. I was super comfy in a tank top, a blue maxi skirt, and sandals! Hope you are having an amazing weekend! XOXO
Ayer pasé casi todo el dÃa en IKEA porque me dió por convertir la sala en mi oficina. Les explico un poquito, el apartamento donde vivo tenÃa dos salas- entonces pusimos cerramos una de las salas para convertirla en un cuartito, y tenÃa en mente que fuera como mi oficina. Me encanta como está quedando, de verdad que asà era como la visualizaba (puse una fotito en mi twitter e instagram, ambos @nanysklozet)- pero no se preocupen que cuando esté lista, les hago un tour completo. Esto fue lo que me puse para pasar el dÃa en IKEA y luego ir a comer con mis papás y unos tÃos que están de visita. La gente se me quedó viendo medio raro por el accesorio, pero a mi me fascina- siento que lleva el outfit a otro nivel (especialmente cuando es algo tan casual/bohemio como esta falda larga y unas sandalias). Un abrazo inmenso!
