Last year Nico was still too little to understand the Holiday Season. So this year I’m going all out, especially with the 2020 we’ve all had…we deserve to welcome the most wonderful time of the year a little earlier.
Last week, I checked ShopDisney and, as we have a two year old who is completely obsessed with Mickey Mouse, I got a few pieces that I knew he was going to love.
The first thing I added to the cart was these matching Mickey Mouse sweaters. The one I am wearing is actually men’s, but I really like the oversized fit and that I can wear it as a sweater dress + I absolutely love matching with Nico.
This is also our first Holiday with Susy, we rescued her in January so I also wanted to get her a little something-something. This top with gingerbread cookies was perfect and she looks so cute!
As I brought out our box with ornaments, as this is the first time I get a big tree…I think it’s time to get some new ornaments. These are some of my favorites:
Thank you Disney+ and ShopStyle for sponsoring this post.
When I was little, I watched “The Little Mermaid” probably 500 times. My older brother still tells me that he doesn’t understand how the VHS would still play it. It’s absolutely incredible how much things have changed since the 90s and it’s mind-blowing to think that Nico is (and will be able) to have access to basically any movie, any time, any place!
I was so excited to check out Disney+, and it truly is more than a streaming service! There are hundreds of movies and series to stream: some bring me back to my childhood, and some are becoming great traditions with my own little family!
Since Disney+ is home to Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and more, I keep adding and adding to my watchlist! I’m really excited to watch the live-action Lady and the Tramp, re-watch the Toy Story saga (absolute favorite), and Lizzie McGuire (as I’m very excited to see the new Lizzie McGuire series! Who else is?).
I like that there is content that Nico loves (his latest obsession is anything with Pluto in it, it makes him laugh like crazy), content that we love as a family (I could watch Coco every week), and also content for a couple’s night in (we have watched a few National Geographic documentaries, and they are amazing).

¡FELIZ NAVIDAD mis amores!!🎄🎄🎁🎁 Que disfruten mucho este día tan especial con sus seres queridos.... que la magia sea tu mejor traje y tu sonrisa el mejor regalo! 😘😘
🎄🎁🎄Latinos really celebrate Christmas the night before; we party, we eat (a lot), and then we exchange presents at exactly 12am (in the middle of the party). So our plans for today: eat left-overs and watch Holiday movies in the cutest onesies.
---------------
🎄🎁🎄Como todos los latinos, celebramos ayer...comimos (una mezcla de hallacas y pan de jamón🇻🇪 con pasteles y coquito🇵🇷) abrimos los regalos justo a las 12am...así que los planes de hoy son pasar el día en pijamas viendo películas navideñas y comiendo las sobras de anoche! ¿Qué planes tienen hoy??!🎄🎄🎁🎁
When you live away from home, your friends become your family. Reason why, even though everyone is spending the actual Thanksgiving with family, we wanted to do a dinner together, celebrate, and feel thankful. I love hosting parties and having people over at our place...reason why I was excited to partner with Stella Artois again this Holiday season and treat my friends to dinner and drinks.
The party planning process started with the decorations. To get in the Holiday mood; my husband, my cousin (who is living with us at the moment) and I took out the Christmas decoration and spent the day putting garlands everywhere around the house. We also took out our small Christmas tree (hey, I wish I had the space for an actual, and huge, tree). After that, I was so inspired I got little wreath pieces for the plates, gold silverware, and paper Christmas trees as name tags for the dinner table. Then it was time to cook, I'm not the best cook or baker- but my cousin and I baked the most delicious gingerbread cookies and decorated them too.
The drink star of the night: Stella Artois. I always have Stella Artois beer at home and it's always a hit, especially with the guys. But to take this dinner/party to the next level, I was excited to try their new Cidre- it's sophisticated, dry, not to sweet, delicious, perfect for the gals... someone has a new favorite (hint: me!).
Are you hosting a party this Holiday season? I hope this inspires you treat your friends and have them over...because life is too short to not celebrate every second of it! Cheers!
I can't lie...this Holiday season has been a little hard for me because it's the first time I'm not spending it with my family in Venezuela...but I'm so grateful I get to create new traditions and memories with @gabe_media .and Chiki! We decorated our place for the first time ever and we got the tiniest tree 🌲❤️ May your heart and home be filled with all the joys this season brings! 🤗🤗P.s: I didn't make him wear the elf pjs...he was having a blast playing the part and even acting like the Elf on the shelf!!

¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!! 🌲🎅🏼🎉No les puedo mentir, y hoy he estado un poco triste porque es la primera Navidad que paso sin mi familia en Venezuela..pero nada, esta es una época para agradecer y me siento muy afortunada de poder compartir con el Sr. @Gabe_Media y Chiki...por primera vez decoramos nuestra casita y pusimos nuestro primer MINI arbolito! ¡Les deseo una Feliz Nochebuena! Que la pasen increíble con sus seres queridos! ¡Los quiero mucho!❤️❤️❤️
For the past couple of years, I've been hosting Ugly Sweater Parties at my house...and I love them. I love the "tacky" sweaters and the Holiday spirit that comes with them.
I'm definitely not the only one since tons of stores are now selling many options...from traditional sweaters, to cute ones, and funny ones (well, and definitely some offensive ones, but let's not get into that!).
Also below are some easy ideas on how to make these sweaters a little more fashionable...but still fun and Holiday appropriate. Which one is your favorite? Which one would you wear?
Ps. Check out two outfits I've worn with Ugly Sweaters:

Desde hace un par de años, he estado haciendo fiestas en mi casa de Navidad con suéteres navideños....a mi me encantan, son "tacky" pero nos ponen en espíritu navideño.
Y definitivamente no soy la única ya que muchas tiendas han empezado a vender muchas opciones de estos suéteres...y hay para todos los gustos. Hay unos clásicos, otros más cute, y unos con chistes (también he visto algunos un poco inapropiados...pero eso ya es otro cuento).
También les dejo un par de looks abajo sobre como pueden usar esos suéteres de maneras que se vean chic pero también navideñas. ¿Qué modelo usarían? ¡BESOS!
Pd: Aquí puedes ver dos ocasiones donde he usado este tipo de suéteres navideños.
The Holiday season…a time where wearing sequins is not only appropriate but encouraged.
There’s something about Christmas and New Years Eve that calls for a sparkly look…I mean, sequins, fireworks, and champagne were all made for each other…right?
I know it’s still the middle of November, and if you are starting to look for the perfect party dress…I really recommend stopping by Express. I found this perfect sequined V-back mini dress- perfect for this season. There were tons of flirty party numbers…from, lace to sequins and sheer panels. I paired this dress with some strappy heels, also from Express; but if you live in colder weather, you can easily layer with some tights underneath and wear this sequin dress with a coat while you get to the party.
Are you ready for the Holidays? What are you wearing?

En mi opinión, hay algo de la Navidad y del Año Nuevo que atrae looks brillantes y llamativos...es que las lentejuelas, los fuegos artificiales, y la champaña fueron hechos uno para los otros, ¿verdad?
Se que estamos a mediados de noviembre, pero se que muchas ya están empezando buscar que usar para todas las celebraciones que vienen. Yo les recomiendo pasar por Express; ahí encontré este vestido de lentejuelas pero también habían muchísimas opciones de vestidos de fiesta (unos de encaje, otros de lentejuela, otros con transparencias). Yo combiné este vestido con unas sandalias de tiritas; pero si vives en un clima frío...puedes fácilmente agregar capas (unas medias pantys, y un abrigo mientras llegas a tu fiesta).
¿Están listos para las fiestas decembrinas? Cuéntenme que planes tienen.
The days in Mérida, Venezuela flew by!!
I wore this for our car trip back from Mérida - which is around 10 hours long so comfiness is a MUST. This high waisted jeans feel like leggings…so I guess they are in theory "jeggings" - they were the perfect option to sleep in the car. I paired it with a simple tee, a chunky sweater, and a light scarf (from a venezuelan brand called Kalon). I wasn't planning on taking pics, but the scenery was too pretty (hello sunglasses to hide my sleepy face and dark under eye circles).
As I have mentioned, we regularly don't do that many stops but we wanted Gabe to see as much as possible. On our way back, we stopped to eat at this gorgeous restaurant in the middle of the mountains (and the food was SO SO SO delicious). While we waited for the food, we had a lot of fun riding horses.
I'm back home in Miami…so get ready for some pictures from Puerto Rico and then back to the regular outfit posting! Enjoy the pics! XOXO

¡Los días en Mérida volaron!!
Este look lo utilicé para el viaje de regreso…les recuerdo que son alrededor de 10 horas, así que la comodidad es primordial. Estos jeans son como leggings de lo cómodo…supongo que en teoría son "jeggings". Los combiné con una camiseta blanca, un suéter gris, y una bufanda ligera de ojitos (de una marca venezolana que conocí hace poco llamada Kalon).
Como les mencioné, quisimos hacer paradas extras para que Gabo conociera lo más posible. De regreso nos paramos en este restaurante bellísimo en la montaña (donde por cierto comimos exquisito!!) y mientras esperábamos la comida, dimos un pequeño paseo en caballo. De resto lo que hice fue dormir (y jurar que perdí una botita jaja).
¡Ya estoy de regreso en Miami…así que pronto empiezan las fotos de Puerto Rico y luego regresamos a la normalidad! ¡ABRAZOS!!!

I've worn this exact outfit SEVERAL times in the past month…I even had to check to make sure we have not taken pictures of it before. It is one of those extremely-comfy outfits that I kept wearing it on days we didn't want to take pictures. Knowing Mérida's perfect fall-ish weather, I took it with me and we finally took pictures with it there. Taking about what I took to Venezuela…I always take tons of shoes, bags, and outfit combos just in case I'm not feeling what I planned. As usual, I ended up using 1/10 of what I took- I even wore this ankle booties WAY more than expected there (funny story: I thought I lost one of the them during the road trip. One of them disappear and I blamed Gaby of losing it when he got out to go to the bathroom…but after we finally arrived in Caracas, it was there ahha).
Back to the trip, we stayed at the same place that we did 3 years ago- you can even see my looks from 2011 here, here, y here. As I have mentioned, my family is very big and we like getting together every Holiday in hotel where we can spend time, play games, and just enjoy each other's company. This year, we even had an itinerary with activities and games (yes, we are one of those haha).
XOXO!!

Este look lo he utilizado TANTAS pero tantas veces que tuve que revisar si le habíamos tomado fotos alguna vez. Es de esas combinaciones tan cómodas que la he usado mucho en los "días de descanso" del blog. Pero esta vez, conociendo el clima de Mérida, me la quise llevar y aprovechar y tomar fotos usándolo allá. Hablando de lo que me llevé, me llevé muchísimos looks y apenas estuvimos una semana en Venezuela. Me llevé muchísimos zapatos y carteros, y si se fijan…he estado usando estos botines en los últimos posts muchísimo (que por cierto les cuento que juré que se me había caído uno de los zapatos durante el viaje, porque al llegar a Caracas no lo encontrábamos en el carro maja).
Este año fuimos a la misma posada que fuimos hace 3 años- y que pueden ver los looks del 2011 en el mismo sitio haciendo click acá, acá, y acá. Como les he comentado, mi familia es bastante grande y tenemos de tradición reunirnos todos los años. Para disfrutar y compartir mejor, generalmente nos reunimos en posadas o en algún hotel donde podamos hacer actividades a cualquier hora (si, somos de esos con cronograma y juegos programados por hora…parecemos un semi-campamento)
¡Les mando un abrazote!!

FIRST POST of 2015!!!!
Even though it was taking during Christmas (whoops!!). I have a feeling that 2015 is going to be amazing and I wish you all a year full of health, happiness, love, new friends, new adventures, etc
I wore this in Venezuela..I had a terrible fever during Christmas eve and I ended up modifying this look ( we were staying at the mountains and it got very cold at night). I added black tights, a sweater, and a black scarf I stole from my mom's bag.
I hope your 2015 started amazingly!! XOXO

¡FELIZ 2015!!!!!!!
Les deseo un año lleno de salud, amor, éxito, prosperidad, nuevas amistades, etc etc
Este look lo utilicé en Venezuela el 24 de diciembre…ese día me sentía malísimo y con la fiebre que tenía, me estaba congelando en la montaña. Tanto así que tuve que modificar este look y agregarle medias pantys y un suéter (luego hasta la quité la bufanda a mi mama). Pero el último día ya me sentía mejor y quisimos recrear los looks de esos días en el páramo de Mérida.
¡Les mando un abrazo gigante!!
