Dressing a growing belly is no easy task. I always say that if I wasn't a blogger, I would probably be in the same dress or leggings every day of the week. But, it's true, I do feel the pressure of dressing up and inspiring fellow moms-to-be. I'm not complaining about my belly at all, I just refuse to buy a full new closet. Stay tuned for a "pregnancy style essentials" I'm writing.
My waist has always been the smallest part of my body. I have hips and boobs, and I always tried highlighting my small waist. Because of this, I love wearing high waisted skirts/shorts and dresses with a defined waist. Guest what? All these pieces stopped fitting FIRST. I've been wearing a lot of my pre-belly shirts, but the bottoms...nope! So in my case, I needed to get a few pieces to continue dressing as ME as possible!
I saw these fun BUG shorts at Asos Maternity at SALE (they currently are $12!!) and I felt like why not!? I wore it very similar to the model on the site without even noticing , the outfit probably stayed in the back of my mind and I have this light pink jacket that felt perfect for it!.
Hope you like the look! XOXO
We all go through writer's block.
I especially have been very stuck when it comes to writing about trends, how to wear, or why did I wear X or Y? So I'm going to share 10 random things about this month so far and I'd love for you to tell me something!
1. The BABY SHOWER is next week. After getting quotes from a few places, I couldn't believe how expensive everything is in the U.S. I decided to make it a DIY and just have fun with it. I know some things will be far from perfect but I'll be fun because I made them.
2. Gabe's birthday was yesterday (the 24th). He turned 31 and I still amazes me how time flies. We met when he was 19. He has been working non-stop so we just had lunch with his family and then sang happy birthday with some of our closest friends.
3. We live in a one-bedroom apartment and we were thinking about moving because of the baby- we decided to stay at least until the beginning of 2019. It's been challenging, a lot of cleaning, selling, donating. But I think we will make it work with the little one.
4. I'm very confused about fashion trends right now. I'm hating the big sneakers everyone is wearing lately. They remind me of the 2000s sketchers and they kill every outfit. But again, that's me! If you love them, have fun with them!
5. I miss traveling. I can't wait to take baby in all these fun adventures. We really don't want to change our lifestyle THAT much. We actually are very excited to bring him along as soon as we can. I see families like Amber FIllerup's and we are very inspired to see little ones who have been to 20 countries before the age of 5.
6. I'm really inspired seeing all these young girls and boys talking about gun regulation and stopping gun violence. It makes me tear up every time and if you follow me on Twitter you probably have seen how passionate I am about this topic.
7. Talking about moving (on #2) I've been thinking about moving to another city lately. I love Miami but I think it would be nice for us to move to another city for a little bit (or a while who knows). I was thinking Dallas just because I loved it when I visited a few years ago, and it has one of the biggest airports so we could go visit our families in a heartbeat.
8. Maybe some of you noticed, I've stopped writing in Spanish. It hurts my soul and I won't stop 100%!! BUT, it was double the work and sometimes I felt I cut myself short because I didn't want to write it twice. I didn't use google translate or anything like that, it was truly writing it again (and the message even differed from time to time). This doesn't mean I'm not proud of my roots, or that we don't speak it at home. Just career-wise, it felt like the right thing to do in order to share more with you guys.
9. Our friends Gaby (@VoguishDiet) and Alex (@LegendaryAlex) got a puppy , a maltipoo (a maltese & poodle mix) and he is so adorable. You can follow him at @ItsErniesLife.
10. Talking about puppy accounts. I opened an account for Chiki @ChikitheMalteseDog and I'm so excited to be talking in third person haha such a weird crazy mama!
When you think of tropical vacations, you think of blue sky and even bluer sea. However, the Caribbean loves a good thunderstorm and we couldn't avoid it one day!
But that didn't stop me from getting in the pool in between rain showers! That day I was wearing this cute floral romper with the criss-cross cleavage ! My fave thing about rompers is how easy you can dress them up or down! They are perfect beach wardrobe with flip-flops and a hat; and then at night I added booties and a gorgeous bag- someone was ready for dinner!
For my hair, I was impressed about how much it was behaving in the humidity. For the dinner time I just curled with an curling iron a few pieces on the top and I feel it looked great (well, considering!).
Have an amazing day loves!
Siempre que uno piensa en vacaciones, uno imagina el cielo azul y ni una nube acercándose. Pero el Caribe es cero predecible y por supuesto, nos tocaron un par de tormentas (de esas que vienen y van rápido).
Pero eso no nos dejó encerrados, me metà en la piscina y disfrutamos del hotel entre lluvia y lluvia. Hicimos un tasting de ron jamaiquino, muy interesante. Ese dÃa utilicé este romper floreado con un escote de tiritas cruzadas. Como pueden ver, amo los rompers durante el verano porque son muy fáciles de combinar tanto el dÃa como para la noche. De dÃa con un sombrero y sandalias; y en la noche con tacones (o botitas en mi caso) y una cartera bella- ¡lista para una cena!
Les querÃa contar de mi cabello porque estaba impresionada de lo bien que se portó entre tanta humedad. Antes de la cena solo lo ricé en la parte de arriba para que los mechones cerca de la cara tuviesen forma. Creo que se veÃa bien, ¿qué dicen ustedes?
¡FELIZ DIA!
When I started blogging, I wouldn't wear jeans at all. Maybe you guys even remember me saying that it was like a challenge.
Looking back, I know what it was. Jeans are a comfort zone. It's very easy to wear a jeans and a tee and get out the door. I'm glad I stopped wearing them for a few years because it made me think outside the box and play with different trends and styles.
However, jeans nowadays are nothing but fun. Come on, look at these lace-up! I got them at Forever 21 for $34.90, they also have a legging version for $20. I personally just feel a lot more comfortable in jeans (I still say it out loud people, LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS). I'm going to link more options below, the side lace-up is GORGEOUS too.
I have a few outfit ideas on how to wear these jeans but I was heading to a blogger- where Gabe was talking about photography. So I felt like just doing a simple white tee and sneakers (I later up changed to these amazing boots)
Final trendy touch? Clear aviators!! Love them! I got them in clear and yellow since the price was so great!
Have an amazing week loves!
Cuando empecé a blogger, creo que NUNCA me vieron con jeans. Estaba hasta en mi preguntas frecuentes, ¿por qué no usas jeans?
Las cosas han cambiado, pero en ese momento querÃa salir de mi zona de confort y no me arrepiento porque eso me obligó a utilizar diferentes tendencias y jugar con distintos estilos.
Aparte, los jeans de hoy en dá están más divertidos que nunca. ¡¡Y estos jeans trenzados son la prueba!! Los conseguà en Forever 21 por $35, también tienen una versión en leggings for $20. A mi personalmente me gustan más los jeans, me siento más cómoda y son más versátiles. Repitan conmigo "Los leggings no son pantalones!". Abajo les voy a dejar varias opciones, hay unos con la parte trenzada de lado que son hermosos también.
Tengo varias ideas en mente pero ese dÃa quise usarlo de la manera más básica: con una camiseta blanca. Ibamos a un panel donde Gabo iba a hablar de fotografÃa. Originalmente tenÃa unos sneakers (ya que el panel era por el dÃa) pero luego me cambié a estos tacones.
¿Toque trendy final? Estos aviadores transparentes. No me resistà y ya que estaban a buen precio, compré los amarillos también.
Feliz semana amores.
We are in California!! We are doing a small road-trip around Big Sur, Napa Valley, San Francisco and small cities in the area.
The temperature has been a dream...we were definitely running from the Miami heat. However, the weather in Napa has been a little hotter than I expected- especially throughout the day when it's the time to explore vineyards.
So today I'm partnering with Clinique to show you a quick and easy everyday tutorial to stay matte and beat the heat of the Summer days. We all want our skin to look flawless and fresh throughout the Summer Days.
The secret weapon: Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder. It absorbs shine, leaving you with a fresh matte texture.
¡Estamos en Californa! Hemos estado manejando por Big Sur y pequeñas ciudades a sus alrededores. Ya llegamos a Napa (una zona con muchos viñedos..de sueño) y después vamos a San Francisco.
La temperatura ha estado pefecta...creo que inconcientemente estabamos huyendo al calor de Miami. Pero Napa nos agarró desprevenidos porque está más caliente de lo que imaginabamos....especialmente durante el dÃa que es cunado uno está explorando el area.
Hoy me uno a Clinique para mostrarles el maquillaje sencillo que uso diaremente pero manteniendo una textura matte que me dure durante el calor de los largos dÃas de verano.
El arma secreta: el polvo " Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder." Quita el brillo pero dejando una textura fresca y matte.
It's been almost 10 years since I moved away from home... I can't believe how the time has flown by. When people ask me what I miss the most about Venezuela is definitely my family. Fortunately, I see my parents at least three times a year...and I try to cherish those moments with them as much as possible.
While in Chile, we decided to take advantage and kind of celebrate "Mother's Day" early with a special post of us together. I gifted my mom the pretties necklace from TOUS that says "Mama Love"". She loved and didn't take it all the days we were there <3.
¡Ya han pasado casi 10 años desde que me fui de Venezuela...es increÃble como pasa el tiempo! Cuando la gente me pregunta que es lo que más extraño...es definitivamente ver a mis papás todos los dÃas. Afortunadamente, mis papás me visitan seguido en Miami y yo intento ir a verlos frecuentemente. Y por esto es que cada momento con ellos es aún más especial.
Cuando estábamos en Chile, decidimos aprovechar y celebrar " El DÃa de La Madre" adelantado con un artÃculo especial de nosotras juntas. Por su dÃa, le regalé un collar hermosisÃmo de TOUS que dice "Mama Love". Creo que le encantó porque no se lo quitó ninguno de los dÃas que estuvimos en Chile.
I wore this last week to have dinner with a couple of friends…actually it's a couple that started dating after they meet on my wedding <3 such a cute love story. I wanted to wear this cute red houndstooth crop top; the expected combo would have been to add a black bottoms…so I went for a white midi skirt! I have been wearing tons of midi skirts lately… so if you are petite like me, don't be afraid of this silhouette! Rules were meant to be broken! Have a great day! XOX

Este look lo utilicé la semana pasada para ir a cenar con unos amigos…que por cierto es una pareja de amigos que se conoció en nuestra boda <3 la cursi que hay que mi se emocionó tanto al verlos juntos. Para ir a cenar quise utilizar este top cortito; generalmente lo hubiese utilizado con una falda negra pero agregar un parte de abajo blanca me pareció más divertido. Ultimamente he estado utilizando muchas faldas "midi"; asà que si eres petite o bajita como yo, no le tengas miedo a este estilo de faldas. Olvida todo lo que dicen las revistas y páginas de moda.. y arriésgate!! ¡BESOS!
