Growing up in Venezuela, we didn’t really celebrate thanksgiving. When I moved to the U.S, it was instantly a Holiday that I liked celebrating because it reminds us to stay thankful, to revisit the year, and remember the good while spending it with family and loved ones.

I married a Puertorican, and they do celebrate Thanksgiving…their own way. The dishes are a bit different, but oh-so yummy. So I’ve learned that I have to be prepared for the most delicious eating. That’s why this dress from Topshop I got at Nordstrom was perfect for the occasion; it is roomy but it is still very cute; family appropriate but young and fun; and easy to layer if you live in colder weather.

Walking by Nordstrom, I had to get this green velvet handbag (similar here) with the chunky chain- it brings the greens in the floral dress and it is also perfect for the Holidays.

Last touches? The HONEY earrings and the fisherman hat.   I think they really bring the whole look together

You all know that I love matching with my little boy, even if we are in the same color palette. He was also very comfortable in his corduroy pants and grey sweater by Tucker + Tate, also from Nordstrom.

Also, did you already get your Holiday shopping done? I still have to buy everyone’s Christmas gifts. Nordstrom has their own curated gift guide section with categories like “Gifts Under $100” or “Gifts For Him”. Here are a few of my ideas for what to get:

You all know that I absolutely love wearing short shorts and mini-skirts because of Miami's hot weather. However, there are days that I can't wear that....especially when I have meetings with brands or clients. So today I wanted to show a semi-professional look - but it is still fun and young because of the fabric and print.

For this collaboration with Lookbook.nu x Loft, I picked these corduroy pants for petites- style Marisa. I love getting pants at petite stores- if you are petite like me, you know the struggle of getting pants tailored.  However, Loft has also specialized in having the best fit for pants. For example: the pants have a wider waistband to reduce muffin tops, asymmetric pockets for a perky rear, and a slimmer boot cut to make legs longer. I paired the pants with a dark purple leopard blouse, and simple black accessories.

I hope you liked the look! XOXO

Por mucho que me encante estar extra cómoda en shorts y falditas cortas por el calor de Miami; hay días que no es apropiado...especialmente cuando tengo reuniones de trabajo con marcas o clientes. Por eso hoy les traigo un look un poco más profesional de lo normal pero todavía juvenil y con toques divertidos (como la tela del pantalón y el estampado de la blusa).

Para esta colaboración con Lookbook.nu x Loft, escogí estos pantalones de pana modelo Marisa para petites. Me encanta cuando las tiendas tienen una sección para las petites como yo.  Aparte se han especializado en hacer que sus pantalones sean extremadamente favorecedores. Por ejemplo: la cintura es más ancha para que no se nos haga "muffin top" o rollitos, los bolsillos de atrás son asimétricos para que parezca que haces muchas sentadillas,  y el corte de la bota más ceñido para que las piernas se vean más largas. Quise combinar estos pantalones con una camisa de estampado de leopardo morada y accesorios negros.

¡Espero que les haya gustado! ¡Feliz semana!
