On our first trip to Ecuador, we rented a place very close to Montañita (a famous little town known for being touristy and liberal-ish). The house was right by the beach...and even though it's definitely not a Caribbean beach, it was absolutely beautiful.

Most of the time we spent it playing card and bonding with the family but one day I put my black swimsuit on and headed to the ocean for a bit (the water was SO cold!!).

Hope you like the pics!

En nuestro primer viaje a Ecuador alquilamos una casa muy cerquita de Montañita. La casa quedaba a pasos del mar, y aunque la vista era distinta al mar caribeño donde crecí...igualmente era hermoso a su manera! Ame las rocas, a sus pescadores, los perritos cayendo en la playa...hermoso!

La mayor parte del tiempo la pasamos jugando cartas y compartiendo en familia pero un día me salí de mis pijamas y nos fuimos a disfrutar un ratito en la playa (el agua estaba HELADA).

Espero que les gusten las fotitos. BESOS!

I have a weakness for black jeans…I think they are dressier, more versatile, and even more flattering than a regular pair of blue jeans. I also think they add a touch of coolness to any outfit…and what if I they are ripped or distressed? Even better…I feel like a rockstar or a petite model off-duty (it’s all about the attitude, right?)! 

Black ripped jeans are a must-have for this coming Fall. They go hand in-hand with plaid, leather jackets, chunky knits, etc. This pair from Express is my new favorite; they are a little high-waisted and extremely comfortable. I paired the jeans with this black tee from the new Express One Eleven collection. I especially love the back of it…but the best part? The bralette underneath!! Express has the coolest bralettes for shirts with cool backs or cut-outs. I have to admit I got several styles, including this one with straps on the back and another one that’s a racerback with a strappy side. Final touch? A B&W plaid and some mules!

What are your go-to jeans? Would you wear distressed black jeans!?

As you can see, I'm really enjoying the "chilly" wave in Miami, I'm taking out sweaters (and well, scarves because at school is even more cold than outside). Yes, grad-school... I wrote about about it when I started but I think many of you missed it. I'm doing a masters degree in Design & Media management. To go to school, I paired my polka dot pants with a comfy sweater and lots of black complements (and my nerdy glasses, of course). As you can see,  I have been wearing this bag in every single post- but it's just the perfect size and color for everyday use. And well, ignore the usage of hats...I have already expressed my obsession with them. Here you can kind of see the first stage of my mini makeover. However, I went that day to fix it because some highlights were way to light...now it looks very natural :) Also, I realized something was wrong with yesterday's post and nobody could comment on it until today. So here I ask again: if I start doing youtube videos, what would you like to see? The more suggestions, the better. Have a great day! XOXO

Aprovechando esta mini ola de frío en Miami,  saqué a pasear muchos suéteres (y la bufanda fue más porque en la universidad ponen el aire aún más frío). Si, la universidad.. aunque lo escribí, algunas no vieron que estoy haciendo una maestría en Gerencia de Diseño. Para ir a clase, combiné estos pantalones de puntitos con un suéter vinotinto y complementos negros. Como pueden ver, he estado usando esta cartera de Danielle Nicole sin parar, y es que es del tamaño/color perfecto y extremadamente cómoda. Aquí también se puede ver el cambio de look que me había hecho, pero ese mismo día fui a arreglarlo porque habían mechones que habían quedado muy claros para mi gusto....ahora se ve súper natural y me encanta. Espero que tengan un bonito día, disculpen si no pudieron comentar en el artículo de ayer...no estoy segura que le pasaba. Así que les pregunto otra vez: ¿qué les gustaría ver si hago videos de youtube? ¡Entre más sugerencias me den, mejor! BESOS!



WHAT I'M WEARING:
ROMWE polka dot pants
2020AVE sweater
PINK & PEPPER booties
H&M scarf
DANIELLE NICOLE bag
FOREVER 21 hat
BONLOOK eyeglasses

Hey everyone! This post is going to be extra short because I need to finish up a little essay for gradschool. I'm excited because this is the final week of the semester!! I wore this in Miami a couple of weeks ago before coming to Caracas. I absolutely love maxi dresses; they are as comfy as..pjs?...but they look dressy and cute! I'll start sharing some outfits from Venezuela soon! XOXO

ps: I'm selling the bag at ShopMyKlozet for $25. Remember that all the profit from pre-loved (used) items at ShopMyklozet go to an organization in Venezuela that gives home to children in need.

¡¡¡Hola!! Hoy les dejo un post rapidito que ando en la semana final de mi primer semestre de post-grado y estoy medio corre-corre con los últimos ensayos. Quería compartirles este outfit super sencillo y cómodo que utilicé en Miami hace unas semanas. A mi me encanta ese tipo de vestidos largos porque te ves arregladita pero te sientes casi que en pijama. Pronto empiezo a compartir algunos de mis outfits aquí en Caracas  ¡¡¡Un abrazo grandísimo!!!

pd: la cartera la estoy vendiendo en ShopMyKlozet por $25; y toda la ganacia de la venta va a una fundación en Venezuela llamada Fundana que le da hogar a niños abandonados o maltratados.
