Movement in Mind

When I was little, I was such a sporty girl. I did gymnastics, ballet, played tennis, loved rollerblading, cycling…everything!


As I got “older” ,  I just became more of a workout class type of gal. I still love being active, but maybe not as daring as I used to be.


For my birthday, I got some roller skates…they are harder than I remember.  So I got my gear ready and I’ve started practicing.


I recently discovered Nordstrom’s in-house lifestyle brand, Zella. It is made for everyone, every size, and every activity… to make you feel strong, balanced, and ready for everything.  It is made with movement in mind, and it shows- these high waist performance leggings are seriously the most comfortable leggings I have.  I also love the scalloped detail on the sports bra! Check out some of my favorite pieces below!


They also have the cutest loungewear, perfect for this time in history when we are spending more time that we would like in our house. Here are some of my favorites, and I think you will find your favorite outfit for the season too!


As I’ve been very careful during the pandemic, I love the curbside pickup at Nordstrom. I can order something tonight and pick it up without even opening my driver door. Nordstrom is also having free shipping and returns, and you can sign up to become a member of The Nordy Club by clicking HERE and enjoy exclusive perks like members-only access to sales and events.








5 BOOTS YOU SHOULD HAVE IN YOUR WARDROBE

I live in Miami and I wear boots year-round (yes, no matter how hot it gets)…I absolutely love the look and feel they give to any outfit. They can make a pair of denim shorts look boho or edgy…and give the final touch to a simple fall outfit.


 So I wanted to round out the 5 boot styles I believe every woman should have in their shoe closet.


All the styles I’m recommending are from Nordstrom Rack, aka designer brands at a great price (you can save up to 70% offf designer brands). Let me know which style is your favorite!



1) OVER THE BOOTS


I absolutely adore how over-the-knee boots look! They make such a fashionable statement, while keeping you warm.


I love wearing them with shorts, skirts and dresses + sweaters for the colder Miami days. And I always take them with me when I travel during the cold months since they look amazing with jeans and over tights.

My advice is to go for a comfortable pair with a thicker heel or a flat over the boot for more casual looks.

2) ANIMAL PRINT BOOTIES


Animal print booties can bring to life any neutral outfit. Leopard is timeless, but I’m loving snake print even more!


Outfit idea: jeans, a turtleneck, a camel coat + leopard booties!

3) POP OF COLOR


My go-to color for fall is burgundy, it is extremely versatile and it has a wow-factor!


You will always get so many compliments when wearing these boots! They look great with black, white, nude, camel, gray, with florals, and plaid!

4) LOW HEEL TIMELESS BOOTS

 
These are my go-to for every day, perfect for moms (as pictured with my little one!).  I have a nude pair and a black pair that I wear non-stop..with denim, biker shorts, dresses, skirts…absolutely anything goes!

GET THE LOOK







5) SEXY HIGH HEEL BOOTS


Go for that pair that makes you feel absolutely gorgeous!


My favorite pair is black because of its versatility, but again, you should definitely own a pair of high heeled booties that make you feel like you can do absolutely ANYTHING!

MOMMY AND ME HALLOWEEN COSTUME: Ariel & Sebastian

Thursday, October 8, 2020

 

🧜🏼‍♀️ 🦀All right....All right, I’ll help you get that prince!! ❤️

Little Mermaid was my favorite movie growing up, so here we are as Ariel and Sebastian!!!

Instead of the classic purple top and green tail, I went for the DIY sheet dress when she gets her legs and starts the human adventure! 

The only thing I bought for myself was the starfish hair clips from Amazon. 

I've had this redhead wig since last year and I've used it for Daphne (Scooby Doo), Mean Girls (Cady Heron), Darla (Nemo), and now Ariel... it's a wig remix haha! You can see more at #nanylovesHalloween on Instagram.




_________



¡🦀🦀Está bien, está bien! Te ayudaré a encontrar al príncipe ese.🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️

La Sirenita era una de mis películas favoritas y tenía tiempo pensando en este disfraz (lo dudé porque amo a las villanas y hubiese preferido ser Ursula jajaja) PERO en vez de disfrazarme con el top morado y cola de sirena clásico de Ariel, quise que fuese el look recién salida del mar...con una sábana y una cuerda...y su acompañante Sebastian!!. 

Lo único que compré para mi disfraz fueron las estrellitas para el cabello. Les cuento que la peluca ya la he usado en 4 disfraces: Daphne de Scooby Doo, Cady de Mean Girls, Darle de Nemo..y ahora Ariel!! 🧜🏼‍♀️

FALL TRENDS 2020 + WISH LIST

Tuesday, September 29, 2020

*Sponsored by Shopstyle and Nordstrom Rack. This post includes affiliate links. All opinions are my own.





We just welcomed FALL last week! Well, in Miami we are not so lucky, but hopefully you are enjoying nicer weather!

If you are embracing the cooler temperatures and you feel you need a few new pieces to update your fall-winter wardrobe, check out my favorite fall trends and tons of options from Nordstrom Rack.


Nordstrom Rack is my favorite stop for designer brands at a great price (you can save up to 70% offf designer brands). I wanted to pick pieces that are trendy but still comfortable and functional, so you can rock them while working from home, or baking an apple pie with family, heading to the park with the pup!



1) FAUX FUR

I’m absolutely loving the “faux fur” jacket trend. It feels super cozy, I can picture comfy fall outfits outdoor wearing these jackets and eating S’mores by a fire. And at the same time you can dress them up and feel all glammed strolling in your city!



2) PUNK PLAID





 Even though the preppy trend is also super in this season, I love the idea of PUNK plaid- aka plaid with a 90s touch and edgier vibes. Add leather/dark pieces and a lot of attitude!


Okay they said you shouldn’t wear white after Labor Day (I totally disagree though), BUT what about ALL SHADES OF NUDES? Go for it in sweaters, jackets, coats, pants….and if it’s an monochromatic look, even better!


2020 wasn’t what we were expecting so embrace that out-of-the-box with fun and bold geometric shapes. If you want to try this trend but still have a timeless print in your closet, go for houndstooth!


My inner bohemian self absolutely loves the idea of a little fringe in cozy sweaters and jackets. It adds a fun touch to your otherwise basic pieces. 


What was your favorite trend? I can’t pick my fave!

Counting the days for OCTOBER!

Monday, September 28, 2020



I'm super excited that October is right around the corner, it is my birth month and I absolutely love dressing up. I'm a scorpio so my inner witchy side is more than happy to show. 

I know I'll wear this black leather skirt a lot, but I'm most excited about these tights. I've been looking for a pair of tights like this since the last Holiday season. I honestly can't wait to wear them for a Holiday party or for New Years eve.

I also added a few spooky books to start feeling the Halloween vibe.


________________


Estoy super emocionada que Octubre está a la vuelta de la esquina, este mes cumplo años y AMO disfrazarme. También soy Escorpio entonces mi bruit interna está más que feliz de asomarse a finales de septiembre.


Sé que esta falda la usaré muchísimo pero estoy más emocionada aún por estas medias panty de estrellas. Llevaba buscando unas desde las Navidades pasadas y sé que también las voy a usar para alguna fiesta navideña o para el fin de año.


También añadí un par de libros de Halloween a mi decoración para darle otro toque más Halloween a la casa.

3 Toddler Educational Activities with Etsy

Tuesday, September 22, 2020

This year definitely is a lot different from what we were expecting. We had everything planned for Nico to start school, but the universe had a different plan. 

Today I want to tell you a bit of the toddler activities that we have been doing at home to make sure Nico is learning what the fundamentals for his age while having fun. 

Etsy is my go-to for one-of-a kind finds in absolutely every department. You can find Back To School items that are functional and unique WHILE supporting small businesses. 

He is wearing the cutest alphabet sweatshirt- he was super excited when he saw it. He said random letters in Spanish and wanted to put it on instantly (I also had my eye on this one that you can customize) 

So now that we have our alphabet sweatshirt on, here are some of of Toddler Educational Ac- tivities you can find: 




1) Wooden Puzzle: 

They are an amazing learning toy, to practice spelling their name and learning the letters. I really liked this one that includes a bear and a mountain on each side of the customized named. 

Another option I loved was this one that also includes shapes, colors, and numbers. I ordered it recently, and it should be arriving very soon! 

2) Sensory kits: 

Sensory play is crucial for child development as it encourages imaginative play, helps develop fine motor skills, and building help connections in the brain. 

We have a dinosaur one that is absolutely adorable. Also check out the construction sensory kit, and a mermaid one! 

3) Wooden Block Sets 

Such a classic activity but it truly helps them practice hand-eye coordination, shape recogni- tion, and encourages open ended play with endless imagination. 

-This one includes 100 wooden pieces in 9 different shapes.

 - This other set has 29 blocks in various shapes and color!

My Nordstrom Beauty Anniversary Sale picks

Monday, August 24, 2020

 

*Sponsored by Nordstrom & Shopstyle*


As we all know Nordstrom’s anniversary sale is happening RIGHT NOW! And I might have picked a few fashion pieces (like the sweatpants and shirt I’m wearing because they are perfect to lounge at home), but I had to treat myself with some new beauty products- especially because now more than ever, it’s so important to pamper yourself!


Browsing the sale as soon as it launched, there were a few beauty exclusives that caught my eye- especially because they are products I LOVE and they came as sets (at a great value). Nordstrom is my one stop shop for all things beauty. So let me tell you what I got:



I was in urgent need of a toner and this one caught my eye. It comes with two full sizes and a travel size of the toner, and a travel size of the Rose Jelly Overnight Mask. 

 My first impression: it’s thicker than a regular toner, but you can instantly tell that’s to hydrate the skin. I’ve been using it for a few days, and my skin feels instantly clean and softer!



-MAC Dream Team Eye Kit


I was looking for an eyeshadow palette that works for my everyday look (aka my everyday look for shooting styling videos and content!). This set comes with a palette that has 8 neutral hues that can be used wet or dry, the Extreme Dimension 3D black Lash Mascara, and the Technakohl (a pencil styler liner that is super creamy).







 MAC Haute Gossip Mini Lipstick Kit ($32.50, $60 value)


Even though I keep my eyeshadow neutral, I’m a big fan of lipstick. This curated set of five mini lipsticks from MAC was too cute to pass. It also includes MY ABSOLUTE favorite nude: Velvet Teddy (matte), I can’t wait to try them all!



Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip Secrets Set


I’ve heard amazing things about Pillow Talk, and I really wanted to try this set- so far, I’m loving it! It comes with the liner, the lipstick and a “Collagen Lip Bath” that provides fuller looking lips! It sold out so quickly, so it must be amazing! I’m gonna link more of my favorites below!




I picked everything online but went to my local Nordstrom to pick it up- so easy and convenient. This is my third time doing curbside pickup and I love that I don’t even have to get out of the car. And then something AMAZING happened! I was actually the 10th customer of the day to pick curbside, so the many staff members came out with happy faces and I WON a $100 giftcard!! Feeling lucky!

10 WAYS TO WEAR ...CAMEL SUEDE PANST!

Friday, August 21, 2020

 




This is my 13th "10 ways to wear", YES I have shared over 130 outfits on Instagram- always featuring a key piece. BUT I want to give them some love on the blog too. I'm going to share more about each look and why/how I paired it and I will link the pieces!

I think these pants are a great addition to your fall wardrobe, and they are extremely versatile.



1) NUDE TONES: 
As I live in Miami, I wanted to start with the simple and least fall of them. I'm wearing a nude bodysuit, clear sandals, a nude bag, and a shiny headband!







2) CASUAL AND COMFY:
My go-to for comfiness but still cute: a tee, denim jacket, and sneakers. My clear backpack is already a staple in the videos, it has been featured A LOT.





3) ROCKER:
It wouldn't be a remix without a Rocker tee and a leather jacket. Don't be afraid to play with accessories like the leopard booties and the Burgundy hat.



4) COLORFUL:
As the camel is a neutral, it looks amazing with colorful sweaters. Final touch: Iadded a white bag and some white booties (oh and some colorful hair clips that I wish you could see better)




5) The "I can't wait for Halloween":
I know it's still August but I really can't wait for Halloween! The cat sweater is so adorable.  This look was school/college inspired with the button down underneath and comfy flats!





6) BUSINESS BABE:
As always, I add a business-y look with a blazer and my favorite square bag (it is vintage LV!!)





7)Wishing for Colder Weather:
Yes I live in Miami but I can play dress up for the ladies that are lucky enough to experience seasons. This coat is out of this world and I cannot wait to travel and wear it!



8) AS GIRLY AS I GET:
I love rocker combos but I have a big feminine/girly side. I really like how camel looks with pink so I decided to play around with all the pink possible (shirt, headband, and bag).  The shoes are THE OG floral shoes you all remember from 2010!





9) CASUAL AND SPORTY:
I don't know why but the inspiration behind this look was going to a "game"- super comfy and easy layers.



10) AT HOME
Finally, these camel pants/leggings are so comfy that you can wear them around the house/working from home. I stole a shirt from my husband's closet, added a cardigan and some fun slippers...and ready!!
