Over the past two years, it has been an absolute pleasure to partner with a brand I love, Hanes, for their #BeComfydent campaign. It’s simple: you can achieve anything when you are confident + comfortable. When you are “comfydent,” you shine.

As the temperatures go down, you might also start to feel a little down too. So let’s find ways to boost our self esteem, and feel “comfydent” no matter how cold it is outside.

#1 First layer

The first layer is always the most important: UNDERWEAR. If I’m wearing uncomfortable underwear, believe me, my confidence is GONE. My ultimate fave: Hanes Cool Comfort® Microfiber Hister Panties. They stay in place and move with you for all day comfort. Now you can add any thermal, leggings, pants, or anything that will make you feel like you can conquer the world.

#2 Forget about the beauty standards

Don’t let the media define how you feel about yourself. Stop comparing yourself to others. Don’t let anyone make you feel like you should be a certain size or look X way. All that matters is how proud you are with yourself. So go ahead, when it comes to clothes, forget about the size and just focus on how it makes you feel.

#3 Invest in a few winter accessories 

The easiest way to update any seasonal wardrobe is by getting a few trendy accessories. No need to go crazy with a whole new wardrobe. Get a pair of statement earrings (perfect since your arms and neckline are covered) that will work amazingly for any Holiday party; or a trendy scarf that will go perfect with your favorite coat; or even a fun hat. 

#4 Don’t forget to workout & eat right

I know it’s tempting to hibernate during the winter, eat yummy foods and avoid exercising. However remember what they say “summer bodies are made in the winter.” If it’s too hard to exercise outside, there are so many amazing workouts you can find online and you don't even have to leave your living room.  We all know that physical activity boosts our happy hormones; so say yes to a happier, healthier, and more confident YOU.

#5 Break all the Fashion Rules:

Your real sense of style kicks in when you are wearing clothes that you feel comfortable and confident in. I could tell you to go ahead and avoid wearing leggings and a hoodie, but I’m going to say JUST the opposite. Like in the pictures above, I’m wearing Hanes Sport Women's Performance Leggings and the EcoSmart® Women’s Full-Zip Hoodie Sweatshirt

The trick to make it a little more put-together is to add glam touches; I went for a classic nude coat, burgundy lips, and a timeless flap bag. So I can go ahead and do all my errands during the winter but I'm as comfortable as I’ll ever be.

#6 Pamper yourself:

Because of changing season, you might feel your skin is drier and your hair is more brittle.  The good news is that since it’s cold outside, you have time to pamper yourself- step up that beauty routine! Have fun moisturizing your skin (remember dry areas like heels and elbows) and deep conditioning your hair. Check out all the amazing DIY you can find on Instagram.

#7 Socialize

Ok it might not be picnics at the park. But make fun winter plans with your friends. It can be ice-skating, doing a cookie bake-off, or even just binging your favorite shows online. 

#8 Stand tall and smile.

Happy body language instantly makes you feel better about yourself according to several studies. It reduces cortisol and boosts self-confidence. 

#9 Pop of color

I know we tend to associate winter with dark colors or, well, no color at all. But even if you are tempted to wear all black, don’t be afraid to wear your favorite color. It will instantly bright up your mood. Lately I’ve seen some beautiful colorful coats that are going to make you smile. If you prefer to invest in dark winter gear, add color to your lips. It’s the easiest way and you will feel glam, beautiful, and powerful. My go-tos no matter the weather are a bright red or a mysterious burgundy.

#10 Read an inspirational book

Now that we have worked on your body, social skills, and wardrobe…it’s time to feed the soul with confidence. Take advantage of the weather, and curl up on the sofa and read an inspiration book. I’ve read a few that have changed my life in little ways. After reading them you will feel extra inspired for absolutely anything.

What are your secret to stay COMFYDENT no matter the weather outside?

Share them with us! Thank you to Hanes for partnering with me on this post. 

Yes, when we think of wearing espadrilles, we think of Summer and Spring outfits.  They have this fun and beachy vibe that looks amazing with light summer dresses and denim shorts. However, I personally believe they are a great transitional piece- they give you a little bit more coverage than a regular Summer sandal, making them great for those not-to-hot, not-to-cold days!

Sí, lo sé. Cuando pensamos en alpargatas, pensamos en zapatos de Primavera/Verano. Van perfecto con vestidos veraniegos, shorts de mezclilla, y pantalones de lino. Pero ¿ por qué guardarlos cuando empieza el otoño? Ya que cubren un poco más que una sandalia veraniega regular, son una pieza de transición perfecta para esos días que no hace ni tanto calor ni tanto frío.

Like I mentioned, the reason why we were in Boston was that Gabe's high school bff, Vice, was getting married (and well, he lives there).  Vice and his wife has the cutest baby girl, and we really wanted to spend time with them since we don't see them very often.

Our day started in Bunker Hill where we walked, had a late lunch, and walked some more! I was wearing my favorite white ripped jeans with the "not -so- perfect"white tee and a camo jacket. As you can see, I wore these items a lot but pairing them with different pieces to really take advantage of my small luggage in Boston.

I'm almost done with the Boston pics, I really loved the city. Can't wait to go back.

Como les mencioné, la razón por la que estábamos en Boston fue por la boda del mejor amigo de colegio de Gabe. El vive allá con su ahora esposa y la hijita (que no tienen idea lo linda que es), y de verdad queríamos pasar la mayor cantidad de tiempo posible con ellos ya que no los vemos seguido.

Esta vez estuvimos conociéndola zona de Bunker Hill donde caminamos hasta más no poder con un descanso para almorzar. 

Sobre mi look: estuve rehusando mucho las piezas que llevé a Boston para realmente sacarle provecho a todo.

Todavía tengo algunas fotitos de este viaje. Pero ya quiero que vean las de New Orleans, Miramar Beach y Orlando. ¡BESOS!

This trend came out of nowhere. I remember I saw it first on Kim Kardashian's IG. Even though I'm not the biggest fan, I can appreciate her as someone who isn't afraid to try new trends.

There's something super edgy about this trend, but there are ways to adjust it to your personal style. For example, last month I showed you how you can wear lace tights instead of fishnets if you are more romantic or girly.

But let's focus on fishnets today. I want to to give you some tips to take full advantage of the fun pair you purchase (which btw are under $10 in most sites...you all know how I love an affordable trend!).

Esta tendencia salió de la nada. Honestamente recuero haberla visto pro primera vez en el Instagram de Kim Kardashian- de quien no soy la mayor fan pero si aprecio la manera como no tiene miedo de probar nuevas tendencias y vitalizaras como nadie.

Estas medias me parecen muy edgy, pero hay maneras de ajustar esta tendencia para que vayan con tu estilo. Por ejemplo, el mes pasado les mostré como pueden usar unas medias de encaje si tienen un estilo más romántico.

Pero hoy me voy a enfocar en las medias de mallita. Estas las pueden encontrar en muchas páginas web por menos de $10. Es decir, son una manera sencilla de actualizar cualquier look por poco dinero.

Here comes the first post of 2017. I wanted to share this one earlier but I've been in family mode and I like disconnecting and really enjoying the time I have with them.

For 2017, I don't want to be a "new me": I want to be the best version I can be. 2016 was a great year for me, a year of learning, a year of opportunities, a year of personal growth and understanding.

I originally was writing of the things I wanted for 2017. But I realized I should be writing "I will" instead.

I want to will blog more often.
I want to will do more videos.
I want to will continue traveling, and I want to visit new places.
I want to will continue working out, but I could use a little bit of more healthy eating.

 ....because life is not about wanting things but going after them.

Aquí viene el primer post del 2017 (whoop whoop). De verdad que quería compartirlo antes pero estoy de viaje con mi familia y para mi es super importarte disfrutar el tiempo que tenemos untos, especialmente porque vivimos todos tan lejos unos de los otros.

Para este año nuevo no quiero ser una "nueva yo", quiero ser la mejor versión de mi misma. A pesar de los hechos mundiales, el 2016 fue un año increíble para mi; un año donde aprendí muchísimo, lleno de oportunidades, donde entendí la importancia de decir que no, y poner la felicidad de uno antes de todo. Y quiero que este año nueva traiga más oportunidades, más aprendizajes...porque  quiero seguir convirtiéndome en una mejor versión cada año.

Igual me he puesto muchas metas y deseos. Pero en vez de escribir que quiero publicar más seguido, o que quiero seguir viajando. Voy a escribir que lo haré- porque la vida no se trata de deseos si no de hechos.

¿Sabías que cada día tiene 86.400 segundos?
Las buenas noticias es que tu decides que hacer con ellas...si perder el tiempo o aprovechar cada momento...y sacarle provecho a cada segundo.

Haz lo que amas, trabaja construyendo tus sueños, diviértete. Deja las excusas...deja de pensar que lo harás mañana...hazlo ahora. Deja de decir que no tienes suficiente tiempo; si realmente te importa, sacarás el tiempo para eso.

Si quieres ir al gimnasio, hazlo. Si quieres viajar, organízate y planeado con tiempo. Si quieres lanzar un negocio, tu puedes! O lo más sencillo, si quieres probar una nueva tendencia de moda... ¿qué esperas? El momento es AHORA.

A mi me gusta tener un pequeño recordatorio en mi muñeca...como este reloj Movado de la nueva colección Edge. Es super elegante pero al mismo tiempo va con todo...moderno, edgy y minimalista...todo al mismo tiempo!

Pero no crean que hay días en que no quisiese una hora extra...pero en vez de desearlo...vivamos la vida al máximo! Soltemos el teléfono de vez en cuando, y tengamos conversaciones sobre la vida, las metas, y los sueños...

¿Tu que harías con una hora extra?

Every year...around the 3rd week of July is Swim Week. This year was a little different because the main sponsor, IMG, decided to not be part of the main event...leaving everyone confused. Many people even cancelled their trips because they thought it wasn't happening or that it was going to be a mess...the second part was a little true, it was messier than previous years. The problem? Many shows were at the same time AND on different locations...which made it impossible to attend many things (specially when you add the Miami traffic into the equation). I personally attended few shows for many reasons...as many of you already know I'm shy and running around trying to attend 5 shows per hour is...well I'll leave that for the extroverted kind (nothing bad about it!). I just prefer to stay in one event and have actual conversations with bloggers that are now actual friends! I wore this the first day, I went to an event for Sol De Janeiro ( a super cool Brazilian brand that I will tell you more later), to the Wildfox presentation, and then to have dinner with Kelly Saks and Flor de Maria. We all had a blast together!

For my outfit, since it was so hot and all events are mostly outdoors, I went for light combos. This romper is from a Miami boutique called OHM...very cool and very bohemian. To dress it up I added some high heels, my baby Chanel, and a dark lipstick!

Let me know what you think! XOXO

La tercera semana de Julio generalmente es la Semana de la Moda Swim en Miami. Este año fue un poco diferente porque el patrocinador principal, IMG, decidió no ser parte de las actividades de este año...dejando a muchas marcas a la deriva.  El problema: todo fue un poco más desorganizado de lo normal y muchos eventos eran a la misma hora que otros...causando que faltara mucha gente. Yo fui a muy poco shows por varias razones: 1. yo soy más tímida de lo que se imaginan, y ese corre corre es para gente extrovertida. 2. Prefiero compartir con bloggers- que ya son amigas, ir a comer, y pasarla bien en UN evento que intentar ir a 5 por hora.  Esto fue lo que utilicé el primer día para ir a un evento de Sol de Janeiro (una nueva marca de productos de belleza de Brasil que les va a encantar...pronto les contaré más), de ahí fuimos al show de Wildfox, y a cenar junto a Kelly Saks y Flor de Maria.

En cuanto al look, quise usar este romper de OHM BOUTIQUE, una boutique en Miami que tiene cosas hermosas...especialmente si te gusta el look relajado y un poco bohemio. Para hacer el romper más elegante lo combiné con unas sandalias altas, mi Chanel, y un labial oscuro.

¿Qué les parece? MUCHOS BESOS!!!
