Aren't these burgundy velvet boots what fall dreams are made of? 🍁😻

This look was part of an Instagram partnership I did with Ebay (so YES, the full look is from it). The boots are originally from Zara- not sure which season, but they were brand-new for a fraction of the price! The dress is Free People, I love the print and how flowy it is. It was perfect to hide the first trimester bloating and I know it will be roomy enough for the upcoming months!

I've been wearing the hat non-stop. I also got it in black- so perfect for any look! Definitely one of my favorite purchases this season- and so Miami "fall".

Hope you are having a little break this Holiday! Love you guys! 

¡¡Díganme si estas botas de terciopelo no son un sueño otoñal!!🍁🍂😍 El look completo lo conseguí en Ebay como parte de una colaboración que fue solo para Instagram. las botas son originalmente de Zara- no estoy segura que temporada (es algo que me preguntaron mucho). Las botas y el sombrero son mis compras favoritas esta temporada! 

El vestido es de Free People, una marca que me encanta por su estilo bohemio con el cual me identifico mucho. Fue perfecto para esconder lo hinchada que estaba el primer trimestre, y sé que voy a poder  seguir usándolo los meses que vienen.

¡¡Espero que estén descansando estas Navidades y preparándose para el 2018!!

This blog post was written as part of my collaboration with eBay Thanks for supporting the brands that keep Nany’s Klozet going.

There’s something about Spring and its warmer air that inspires us to start over- this blooming season leads us to makeovers of all kinds. Some people start renovation major projects in the backyard, and some people clean out their closet (especially to make space for fresher  and newer things to come along, raise your hand shopaholics!). This is why I’m super excited to partner with eBay during its Spring Sale because you can find absolutely anything you need; from vacuum cleaners to home organization products, and everything in between.  The eBay gift card is the perfect gift for absolutely anyone…especially those who are hard-to-shop-for people!

Four years ago, I moved to a  1 bedroom 1 tiny closet apartment in Miami with my then-fiance-now-husband. I’m  not going to lie: as the little girl of the house, I was also used to having my own closet and space…then add up the “fashion blogger” factor. Over the years, I’ve learned some tips to maximize space, keep everything organized and achieve all your Spring Cleaning Goals.

1. Keep, Fix, Donate, Throw Away, and Sell.

Start by going through EVERYTHING in your closet and get ready to have 5 piles: (1) Keep (2) Fix  (3) Donate (4) Throw Away and (5) Sell.

Ask yourself the following questions:

Have I worn it in the past year? Why haven’t I worn it? Is it damaged? Is it fixable? Does it still fit? Is it still on-trend? 

If the items are in good condition but have no significant value, donate them. If you think you can get a little money, sell them! Forget about sentimental value; it doesn’t make sense to keep the dress you wore to prom 10 years ago. Remember keeping an item isn’t what keeps the memory alive.

2. Upgrade your closet with ultra thing anti-slip velvet hangers

I’ve been slowly transitioning to velvet hangers for many reasons. First of all, it gives a luxurious feel to your closet. Second, the ultra thin shape will let you put more items. FInally, the velvet helps clothes to not slip.   During the eBay sale I got 50 hangers for under $20!! At this price, I might get a few more.

Also, try this fun trick to know if you have worn something in the past year. Put your hangers backwards every time you do a clean-out; when you wear it, put it back as it should be hung normally. At the end of the year you can clearly see what you haven't worn in a while.

3. Makeup needs Spring Cleaning too:

We tend to forget that make-up has an inspiration date…and sometimes it’s expires faster than we expect! For example: eyeliner lasts from 6 months to a year, while mascara lasts 3-6 months. On the other hand: lipstick, powder cosmetics (blush, eyeshadow, setting powder) can last up to two years. Also consider that all natural makeup expires faster.

If you are not sure how old a product is, smell it trust your senses. Wearing makeup that’s expired can cause breakouts and allergies.

Try keeping what you really love and use frequently. Clean it and get ready to store it!

4. Display and Keep Your Makeup Organized

After cleaning up your makeup bag, think about what you wear on a regular basis, what you wear on special occasions…and now it’s time to keep it organized! I absolutely love clear displays on my vanity.

For my brushes, mascara, and liners, I got this Curved Acryling Organizer (for only $12!). You all know I’m a lipstick lover, so I got this 24 Lipstick Makeup Holder! I’ll make sure to keep my favorite shades at reach- that way I don’t forget them and continue wearing them. Finally, I keep everything by type in the Storage Clear Case. On the top shelf, I like putting my every day products; while on the little drawers I put special occasion products.

5. Keep your season-clothes at reach

People ask me frequently how I keep organized my clothes when it comes to shooting. When get a new item or something  I want to shoot, I don’t instantly put it in the closet (because it gets lost…I’m sure sometimes you find clothes with new tags hidden in the back of your closet). That’s why I like using a clothing rack. There I keep seasonal items, new items, and I organize the looks for the blog. PLUS it gives me extra storage.

My clothing rack recently broke after many years, so I decided to upgrade and I got a Collapsible Rack Hanger at ebay. The quality is amazing and I found it for $40, half the price I saw it in local stores!

A couple of weeks ago, I finally found a ticket to go to Venezuela for the wedding of one of my closest friends. The tickets are so expensive that I decided to stay the whole month of December. Reason why Thanksgiving ended up being extra special. It started early at midnight when a group of friends came to my house for an "ugly/Christmas sweater" christmas. We had so much fun until the sun came out. After that I headed to a Thanksgiving lunch with Gabo's family; I have mentioned before how delicious it is! After recovering from the food coma, I headed to an event for Abercrombie that I was hosting for Black friday.

2013 has been a crazy year...full of emotions, big decisions, bigger opportunities, and even bigger happiness.  I feel extremely thankful and blessed!

I found this sweater at Target's men section... and I had to have it! Even the whole "ugly sweater party" theme was an excuse to wear it. Gabo also found one with skulls wearing Christmas hats! Here's the link with all the sweaters; there's also one with a nutcracker that says "let's get cracking". Even though it's a men's sweater, you can add super feminine pieces to make it girly!

How was your Thanksgiving weekend!!?

Hace dos semanas conseguí un pasaje para Venezuela para venir a la boda de una de mis mejores amigas. Los pasajes están tan caros que decidí quedarme todo diciembre en Venezuela. Razón por la cual Thanksgiving fue bastante especial. Mi "Día de Acción de Gracias" empezó en la madrugada con una fiesta de "Suéteres navideños feos". Ahí compartí con un grupo de amigos hasta el amanecer...todos con nuestros suéteres navideños. De ahí seguimos a un almuerzo con la familia de Gaby; ya les he contado que la mamá cocina riquísimo y este año no fue la excepción. Después de pasar unas horas descansando por la comilona,  fui a un evento en Abercrombie de Black Friday en el cual era la anfitriona.

Este año ha sido un año lleno de sentimientos y emociones...ha sido un año de decisiones difíciles y grandes alegrías. Me siento extremadamente agradecida y afortunada. 

El suéter lo encontré en la sección de hombres de Target...¡ y me fascinó! La idea de hacer la fiesta de "suéteres navideños" era una excusa para usarlo. Gabo encontró uno de calaveras con gorritos de Navidad...buenísimo. Les dejo el link acá para que los vean todos. También quería uno que sale un cascanuez y dice "let's get cracking".  Aunque el suéter es de hombre; considero que con una faldita y accesorios, se ve femenino.

¿Cómo pasaste tu día de Acción de Gracias?!

I've been wanting to wear this white dress from 2020ave for a while but I didn't know what type of bra to wear underneath (it's very sheer and backless- I ended up wearing a cool black lace bralette and I got so many compliments on it). This dress is very feminine so I wanted to edge it up with some combat boots and my favorite hat. The boots are from Pink & Pepper, and they are currently my favorite pair...they go with everything. I also keep wearing and wearing this hat...when you get used to wearing hats, the looks look empty without them. I wore this outfit to go to an Arm&Hammer event with Carmen from Viva Fashion- they treated us with manis/pedis and we learned about the various uses of baking soda. Head over to Viva Fashion to see picks of the event. Hope you like the pics! XOXO

Tenía tiempo queriendo usar este vestidito blanco de 2020ave- pero no tenía idea que utilizar debajo ya que tiene la espalda al descubierto y bastante transparente adelante.  Aunque el vestido es bastante delicado, quise combinarlo con piezas más "edgy" para que no se viera tan femenino. Estas botas no he parado de usarlas desde que hice un video super divertido con Pink & Pepper, que ya verán pronto. Ese día le quité el polvo a este sombrero y tampoco lo he dejado de usar....después que te acostumbras a usar sombreros, cualquier look se ve vacío sin ellos. Esto lo utilicé para un día de spa junto a Carmen de Viva Fashion y el equipo de Arm & Hammer. Nos consintieron con manicure/pedicure y aprendimos de todos los usos que tiene el bicarbonato de sodio. Pueden ver todas las fotos en el blog de Carmen, haciendo click acá. ¡¡Espero que les gusten las fotitos!!
