Things don't go as planned. We had everything ready...we were going on our honeymoon after 2 years (and to celebrate our second anniversary)...and something happened: I guess it was my mistake.

As a venezuelan passport holder, I couldn't get on the plane to the UK. There's a new law that requires venezuelans to get a visa. When I lived in Venezuela, I remember we could go to any European country without any problems- that's why I didn't even double check (again, my mistake). The airline never required it when I input my passport months ago (but again, we shouldn't rely on machines).

I took it very calmly, I'm the type of person that takes things very chill, especially when you cannot do anything about it. Even though we did, we tried changing our trip but it was twice as expensive. We decided to stay in New York and enjoy every second of it- because well, WE ABSOLUTELY love New York. We stayed there an extra 5 days and we tried to do/visit things we had not done before.

It was one of those moments where you realize that it is your choice , you decide whether something can F*ck it all up or you can just look at the bright side...and my bright side was simply being with him in one of the best cities of the world.

Definitivamente hay cosas que no salen como lo planeabas. Ya teníamos todo listo, íbamos a pasar una semana en Londres y en Paris por nuestro segundo aniversario (y Luna de Miel porque nunca nos fuimos oficialmente de viaje de Luna de miel). Pero algo paso, y fue mi culpa.

Al tener pasaporte venezolano (aunque tenga mi residencia Americana), no me dejaron montarme en el avión a Londres. Desde hace un par de años (y por la situación de Venezuela) piden una visa. Recuerdo toda la vida pensar que podíamos entrar a cualquier país europeo sin ningún problema- por eso no me metí a revisar (mi error, una vez más). La aerolínea tampoco nos dijo nada, ni la agencia cuando mandamos la información de mi pasaporte con meses de anticipación (por supongo que es un recordatorio que no podemos confiar en los sistemas automáticos).

Les admito que estaba muy tranquila, no me molesté en ningún momento, analizamos todas las opciones y no se podía hacer nada al respecto. Intentamos llegar primero a Paris pero nos salía el doble de lo que ya habíamos pagado. Decidimos quedarnos 5 días extra en Nueva York y disfrutar cada segundo al máximo. 

Fue de esos momentos donde pude haberme amargado y regresado a Miami molesta, pero quisimos verlo desde el lado positivo...y estar con el era más que suficiente <3

Mad for plaid ♥️♥️ When I got this statement plaid coat a few years ago, I never thought I would wear it as much as I have...I have to update the remix for it but if you search on the blog plaid coat, you can see the other 4 ways I've worn it.

This time I went for a sporty vibe with a funky hat and my new favorite sneakers.

El estampado de cuadros definitivamente es mi favorito♥️ cuando compré este abrigo tan llamativo, jamás pensé que le iba a sacar tanto provecho! 

Si en el buscador del blog ponen "plaid coat" pueden ver todas las maneras que lo he utilizado...mucho más versátil de lo que parece!

I’m a 90s kid…and the 90s fashion trends hold a special place in my heart. I think it has to do with the fact I have two older brothers who were teens in the 90s. While I listened to Spice Girls with my friends in school (and wanted to dress like Sporty Spice), I would get home and listen to Nirvana with my brothers…and after a day of Nickelodeon cartoons, I would join them for Dawson’s Creek and Beverly Hills 90210 (now that I watched those shows as an adult, I get while my mom wasn’t happy that).I remember being  into grungy looks with flannel shirts and chokers.

The best part about fashion is that trends ALWAYS come back, and it’s always fun to modernize those trends and give them a “now-twist”.

I think the best way to ROCK the 90s trends is to have that “Totally, Whatever…I’m too cool to care” attitude of the decade. You can add 90s pieces easily to your current wardrobe. I of course went with a super cool bodysuit from Express, I love how the detail on the neckline gives it a modern twist to this style.  

But well, it’s not the 90s without PLAID! I really liked this short-sleeve version that looks great over the bodysuit! To get ready for Spring/Summer, go for high-waisted shorts with a cool buckle belt. When it comes to accessories: instead of the retro tattoo version, try a silver or gold version. I love this silver choker from Express, it’s so versatile…you can dress it down with the flannel, or up with a gown for a wedding. And well, backpacks and a chunky shoe are the perfect complement to any 90s look!

Beauty-wise:

Instead of perfect curls or beach waves, go for a tousled look. To do this, use a wide curling iron and leave the ends straight…then mess the look with your fingers. Keep makeup to the minimum, but it’s always a great idea to add a burgundy or dark lip!

Would you go 90s for Summer?

Los 90s tienen un lugar especial en mi corazón.. es esa época de "cuando éramos felices y no lo sabíamos". Las tendencias de los 90s todavía me encantan, creo que tiene que ver con el hecho de que tenía dos hermanos que eran adolescentes en los 90s. Y mientras escuchaba a las Spice Girls con mis amiguitas en colegio...luego llegaba a la casa a escuchar Nirvana con mis hermanos. Y después de ver las comiquitas de Nickelodeon, los acompañaba a ver Dawson's Creek y Beverly Hills 90210 (ahora de adulta, ya entiendo porque a mi mamá no le gustaba mucho la idea jaja).  Me encantaban esos looks grunge con camisas de cuadros y gargantillas.

Pero lo mejor de las tendencias es que siempre regresan... y a mi me parece super divertido darle un toque moderno a esas tendencias del pasado.

Hey! I'm back from NYC! We had a blast and it was so exciting to finally be able to bring Gaby with me to a big production. We spent the whole Friday shooting with JCPenney and I can't wait for you to see the results. We also were able to do touristy stuff...we love NY!

You have already seen this babydoll moon/sun dress..and I love it! I love who comfy it is, and this print is so much fun! I also just found an off-the-shoulder top with this print that is AH-MA-ZING (check it out here). This time I paired the dress with a jean jacket...which is my easy formula to make a look more casual and summer-isn. Final touches: a leather backpack and some white sole shoes (I'm adding tons of white sole options down below...check them out!).

Have an amazing week !! XOOX

**p.s: Check out this cool Miami city Guide by TIMEX...I was able to collaborate with them too on it**

¡Ya estoy regreso de Nueva York! La pasé espectacular...fue genial que Gaby pudiese ir conmigo. Aunque pasé un día completo trabajando, aprovechamos bastante y "turisteamos" mucho.

Este vestido ya lo han visto varias veces...si no se acuerdan, no se preocupen que ya viene el REMIX este miércoles. El estampado de luna/sol me gusta mucho...y aunque no encontré este vestido exacto porque es del año pasado, ASOS tiene una camisa con los hombros al aires con el mismo estampado HERMOSA (click aquí para verla). Esta vez, para hacer el look más casual y veraniego, combiné el vestido con una chaqueta de jean y unos zapatos altos blancos. Esta tendencia ha estado muy presente este verano, abajo les dejo muchos zapatos con las suelas blancas. Toque final: un morral de cuero.

¡Les mando un abrazo y FELIZ SEMANA!
