Fashion was this blog’s first love and I will always enjoy having fun with my style and different trends. But I got to be honest, shopping has gotten a bit harder with my little one.
And this is where Stitch Fix comes to the rescue!
Stitch Fix is a personalized styling service where you fill an extensive style profile when signing up; and an expert stylist will hand-select 5 items JUST for you- based on your body type, preferred fit, budget, lifestyle, etc.
When your items arrive; you get to try everything on at the comfort of your house, keep what you love, and send back the rest in a free pre-paid envelope.
There is a $20 fee to have your curated Fix- but it applies towards anything you keep. The best part is that it isn’t a subscription service; you can receive your Fix whenever you want (every month, or if a special vacation is coming up!).
My experience:
A few years ago, I had the amazing opportunity to travel to San Francisco and visit Stitch Fix HQ. The experience was absolutely amazing, seeing how everything works.
Fast forward a few years, and this styling service feels like a lifesaver when I need new pieces to refresh up my wardrobe. I know I know, I’m a fashion blogger and I love shopping for new trends- but just like a Chef goes to other restaurants- it’s nice to not have to worry and trust another expert opinion…and WOW, she nailed my fix.
I received 5 pieces: a Rebecca Minkoff floral dress (the one I’m wearing), these Sam Edelman pink sandals, white shorts, an off-the-shoulder floral top, and a red striped tee. It also came with styling little sheet showing 2 ways to wear each item. Everything fit just like I like, highlighting what I love! It’s super cool that they have petite, plus size, and maternity sizes in thousands of brands.
I have a feeling I’ll be wearing this dress A LOT. It shows off my curves and it’s such a fun print!
Would you try Stitch Fix?
I already told you ALL ABOUT MY BABY shower (Don't forget to check it out HERE). However, like I mentioned, there was a lot planning behind it. At least two trips to the Dollar Tree, two to Target, one to Walmart, Home Depot, the flower shop, etc.
This meant lots of walking, and for a pregnant lady, that means the comfiest shoes possible. Let's break it down piece by piece!
Ya les conté todo sobre mi Baby Shower (pasen por acá si no lo han visto). Pero como les mencioné, hubo mucho corazón planeando todo. También muchos viajes a tiendas como la Dollar Store, Target, Walmart, Home Depot, floristerías, etc.
Esto significaba looks cómodos pero ustedes me conocen, me canso de los leggings rápidamente. Les cuento pieza por pieza:
The dress is from Alice + Olivia; so easy to dress up and to dress down. You cannot go wrong with a denim jacket to dress down a floral dress. I got it during the store preview in a size bigger so I could wear it while the belly grew. I think I doesn't fit anymore but I can't wait to wear it after baby.
This denim jacket has been with me even before the blog. It used to be a dark denim wash but Gabe helped me bleached it. In my opinion, the lighter was is a bit more timeless! I think it's time for a Remix with it!! There are probably so many looks with it and since 2011. Would you still like to see it?
The light pink bag is from Rebecca Minkoff but I designed it. This was one of my OMG-I can't-Believe-It campaigns. I got to design a bag inspired by Miami. I'm definitely proud of the thing I've got to do.

I took these photos in January and never published them because I felt there was absolutely nothing special about them. The outfit was just "okay", the shirt was a bit wrinkled, and I could have added a hat or some burgundy lipstick. I could have gone to a cooler place.
I honestly miss the days when the bloggers wore normal clothes, when it wasn't about who was doing which campaign or who was getting the most likes, when it wasn't about having 100 props and it was jus aboutt shooting in front on your house with a simple camera, and when it was about shooting about what you actually wore instead of freezing in the snow for a cute shot.
I felt more inspired back them. There is something about today's perfection that doesn't resonate with me. I look at these girls with their perfect makeup, with the latest trend (that most of the times, it is absolutely ridiculous), with the crazy fabulous trips, and I don't even aspire to be like them.
Maybe I didn't evolve with the time.
Maybe I'm just being nostalgic of a simpler time.
Maybe I'll just keep being me and someone out there will identify with my imperfection.

I'm probably confusing you all with this jumping back and forth. But let's clarify it so i's not confusing: these pictures are from October.
As a reminder, I was in Quito for a blogger talk I gave. Then we stayed some extra days exploring different towns. We visited many bazaars that were happening- explored volcanos. SO STUNNING!
Hope you like the pics!

When I started blogging, there was a group of people who called lifestyle bloggers "ego-bloggers" and I absolutely HATED the term.
I didn't, and I still don't, share my outfits to get compliments.
When you go to any blogger's comment section, they are filled with "so pretty" "OMG perfect"and "#goals" - and yes, I'm guilty of leaving these comments too.
But a big part of me is tired of saying "thank you". Because I am not perfect, I'm full of flaws, my life is not goals. So why am I still part of the "superficial ego-blogging" community? Because I want to inspire you to wear that top differently, to not be afraid to try a new trend, to not be afraid to be YOU.
At the beginning I thought my focus had to be only fashion and opening myself was scary because of the harsh criticism of the internet. But no, I want to encourage fellow bloggers to write more things from the heart, to avoid captions like "today's #ootd"; tell me your story, share your experiences, the good, the bad, the ugly- this is what blogging is about. And as a reader, I want you guys to read, to be more than a "oh-so-pretty" commenter, to share with bloggers your experiences, your thoughts, your critiques. Let's make this a community again!
Cuando empecé a bloggear, se escuchaba mucho el término EGO BLOGGER (que honestamente casi no escucho- ahora es todo "influencer", pero de eso hablamos después).
No me gustaba ese término, porque definitivamente insinuaba que lo que hacemos era para inflarnos el ego.
Y si vas a la parte de comentarios de cualquier blogger, esta lleno de "¡que bella!" "¡que perfecta"! - hasta yo misma soy culpable de dejar estos comentarios. Pero gran parte de mi esta cansada de decir "gracias", porque lo que realmente quiero hacer es inspirarlas a jugar con sus klozets, a sacarle provecho a esa camisa que casi no usan, o a intentar una tendencia que te convence.
Pero al mismo tiempo quiero escribir cosas desde el corazón, quiero compartir experiencias, y aprendizajes (lo bueno, lo malo, lo feo...porque así es la vida), quiero ver a otras blogger abriendo sus corazones y hablando más que del outfit bonito que usa, quiero que mis seguidores me lean, que me critiquen si no están de acuerdo (educadamente), que compartan conmigo sus experiencias. Hagamos de este mundo una comunidad otra vez..
For a while, I've been saying I wanted to start shooting with my best blogger friends. I've meet some incredible women in the blogger industry and besides being collages, I've become very close with some of them. I love that we understand each other but at the same time we know that this is not what defines us, that we are more than bloggers.
I'm starting this section with Gaby from Voguish Diet. She is an amazing blogger and Youtube, also from Venezuela (venezuelan power IN THE HOUSE!). We met a few years ago, when she had long hair with pink tips and I instantly loved her edgy style. I definitely identify with her style and I envy her height and long legs!
So I asked her 10 simple questions so you can get to know her better and follow her if you love her as much as I do!
Let's get started!
Tenía mucho tiempo diciendo que quería empezar a tomar fotos con amigas bloggers. Por mucho que la gente diga que esta industria es superficial, me siento muy afortunada de decir que he conocido a mujeres INCREIBLES, talentosas bellas. No solo nos entendemos a nivel profesional pero sabemos que esto no nos define (y no, no hablamos de likes o de moda todo el día- al contrario).
Voy a empezar esta sección con Gaby de Voguish Diet. Ella tiene un blog de moda y también un canal de Youtube. Es venezolana (VENEZUELAN POWER!!). Nos conocimos hace un par de años, cuando ella tenía el cabello largo con las puntas rosadas. De una me llamó mucho la atención su estilo edgy, me identifique mucho. Y con mucho cariño le envidio la altura y sus piernas largas jajaja.
Empecemos con 10 preguntas sencillas para que la conozcan mejor y la sigan si todavía no la siguen.
I shared some of these pics in the previous post with my basic road trip items.
Two years ago we were planning on going to Disney, I don't know what happened but we had to postpone the trip. I got a few Mickey items; some shorts and this tee. I kept in the "klozet" as a reminder we had to go soon.
We finally went and I couldn't wait to wear this top. Honestly, I'm not 100% sure the shorts fit anymore (did someone say diet? yes haha). But again, there's something so magical about Disney that just makes you feel like little girl again, Minnie ears included!
What's a Disney visit without some Mickey Mouse ice-cream? I wanted a pic, it was a complete fail: it melted, I had ice-cream all over me....not cute at all!!
Below you can find all the cute Mickey tees I found on the web!
Algunas de estas fotos se las compartí en el post anterior con mis piezas básicas de roadtrip.
Pero quería contarles más. Hace dos años aproximadamente, planeamos un viaje a Disney. Por una o mil razones, tuvimos que cancelar el viaje. Y yo estaba tan emocionada que había comprado varias piezas de Mickey; unos shorts que estoy segura que ya no me quedan (¿alguien dijo dieta!!?) y esta camisa. Estos dos años estuvieron en mi "klozet" recordándome que había que volver a retomar este viaje.
Finalmente fuimos y esta camisa fue lo primero que metí en la maleta. Es increíblemente mágico ver como tantas mujeres (sin hijos) nos sentimos como chiquitinas otra vez y nos queremos vestir llenas de Mickeys- orejitas incluidas!
Uno de los "must" en Disney es comer el helado de Mickey. Obviamente quería tomar una foto toda linda para el blog, pero no tienen idea del desastre . Entre tanto calor se derritió en segundos, quedé semi llena de helado..nada cute jajaj.
Abajo les dejo todas las camisas con Mickeys que encontré...todas hermosas!
This is one of those looks where the accessories are everything...the little details are what make the look!
It is probably one of those combos I go for when I have to get dressed in 5 minutes. Leather shorts and some sort of black top work for any occasion. This time went for a look that's a little bit sporty...a little bit pink!
I've been eyeing the floral guitar straps for a while, so I finally headed to Nordstrom- one of my favorite stores because I find it all...from the amazing designer bags I invest once in a while to quality accessories at a great price. The strap adds a casual element to any of your bags, it is a great way to update a classic bag without spending a lot of money.
I'm loving the mix of girly elements like the Rebecca Minkoff Floral Guitar Strap with the suede baseball cap. I used to have a cool baseball cap a few years ago that a friend borrowed (and well never return). I found this cooler suede version for $20.. score!
During my little accessory shopping spree I also found these aviators. If you have followed me for a while, you know I have a weakness for round sunglasses. But I'm trying to play with other styles, and these aviators with a pink reflection are absolutely GORGEOUS! Finally, I saw these pom pom earrings from Baublebar and these are perfect for daytime AND nighttime!
Are you loving guitar straps? What's your favorite sunglass style? Are you into pom pom earrings? Let me know in the comments!!
Este es uno de esos looks donde los accesorios lo son TODO... ya que transforman un look básico en uno trendy y divertido.
Como les digo, este es un look básico para cuando me tengo que vestir en minutos. Unos shorts de cuero y un top negro (en este caso , suéter) te salvan en cualquier apuro. Este me encantó porque es un poquito deportivo, pero también femenino.
Llevaba tiempo viendo las cadenas de carteras estilo de guitarra, son perfectas para darle un toque distinto a una cartera clásica (y sin gastar mucho dinero). Así que me fui a Nordstrom, de mis tiendas favoritas porque lo encuentras todo- desde las carteras más bellas de diseñador hasta los accesorios para el día a día a buen precio.
Me enamoré de esta de Rebecca Minkoff que va perfecta con mi carterita de la misma marca. También vi esta gorra de gamuza por $20 y no me pude resistir (porque tuve una similar hace mucho y la presté...de esas prestadas que nunca regresan)... y esta versión es hasta más cool que la que tenía.
También fui con la misión de encontrar unos lentes que no fuesen redondos (tengo que darle un descanso a ese estilo). Y estos aviadores rosados son perfectos. Y bueno, vi estos aretes de pompones que me fascinaron ya que puedes usarlos de día o de noche!
¿Qué les parece la tendencia de los straps de guitarra? ¿Qué estilo de lentes es tu favorito? Espero sus comentarios!
I used to be a high-heels type of girl… I blamed it on my 5’2 frame. Over the years, I’ve learned to LOVE and embrace my petite height …and this self-love opened the shoe world options in so many ways. I became obsessed with sneakers, with flat boots, cool flats, espadrilles, sandals…everything!
This Spring/Summer there are two trends that I know I’m gonna continue to wear: sneakers and espadrilles. Reason why I got little-girl-excited when I saw the Champ Platform Espadrille Sneakers by Andre Assous (a Spanish line that recently launched on Macy’s..keep reading to see how you can win your favorite pair). I think these are the perfect fun mix between cool white sneakers and hand-sewn espadrilles made in Spain.
The comfy pair also goes with everything: cute little rompers, flirty dresses, denim…you name it, they just scream SUMMER 2017! This time I wore them with a striped romper, a straw hat, and a straw bag. I headed to Miami Beach with my sisters in law for a chill Bachelorette party by the ocean.
Okay, now to the fun part. You can also win a pair of your favorite Andre Assous. How?

The sweepstakes will run through the end of the month and Andre Assous will pick winners on April 1st weekend. GOOD LUCK BABES!
Si me siguen desde hace mucho saben que yo era de esas que no iba a ningún lado sin tacones. Con el pasar de los años he aprendido a aceptar mi altura...y en ese momento me volví adicta a los zapatos bajitos: de goma, botines, alpargatas, sandalias..TODO.
Esta Primavera/Vera hay dos tendencias muy presentes: las alpargatas y los sneakers. Por esto imagínense mi emoción cuando vi este híbrido de Andre Assous (Champ Platform Espadrille Sneakers by Andre Assous). Es una linea española ahora disponible en Macy's. Sigue leyendo para participar y ganar tu par favorito de esta marca.
Este par, mega cómodo, es la mezcla perfecta entre zapatos de goma blancos y alpargatas hechas a mano. Aparte que combina con todo: rompers, vestidos, mezclilla, etc. Yo utilicé este look este fin de semana para la despedida de soltera de mi cuñada- que fue muy tranquila en la playa.
Aja ahora la parte divertida. ¿Como ganar tu par favorito de Andre Assous?

Somos 10 bloggers colaborando en esta campaña y la marca escogera a una ganadora por blogger el primero de abril. Mucha suerte!!!
I love all-black outfits..but more than that, I love a bold pop of red- sometimes it is with just a bold lip color but this time I added the coolest red moto jacket from Rebecca Minkoff.
¡A mi me encantan los otufits "total black" (negros de pies a cabeza)- pero también me encanta como se ve un total black con un toque de color. Hay días en el que es solo un toque en el labial, y otros donde me provoca agregar una pieza llamativa como esta chaquetota perfecta de Rebecca Minkoff.
Just like fashion, beauty is a way to express how you feel, how you are, and who you want to be. I love how beauty has the power to make your feel confident; triumphant. I love the power of a red lipstick, and the inner confidence the right smoky eye can give.
Personally, I have been feeling fearless- because fear is the only thing between you and your goals. So, today I’m partnering with Sephora Collection and how the line can empower you to get what you want no matter the occasion.
My go to makeup is a classic cat eye with a red or dark lip (you can see a step by step tutorial I did with Sephora Collection a couple of weeks ago by clicking here). But today I decided to switch things up a little bit. I did a smokier cat-eye with navy blue and a little bit of bronze.
The other day I was talking with a blogger friend, Remly from The Little Venecia, and she was telling how much she loved my style in 2014...how natural I looked, how the outfits didn't look planned- how it was just me having fun.
The blogger industry keeps growing andhe competition to get that "perfect photo" has gotten crazy...and yes, I blame Instagram for all that. Before Instagram, each blogger had her own style and it really didn't matter what everyone else was doing. Now that we see it when we scroll we compare quality pictures, who has the new it bag, who traveled WHERE, who is working with what brand, etc.
And even though I love traveling and keeping up with trends. I want to go back to that, to have fun with the blog. I want to stop thinking that a look is missing something, or wearing something because it will get more likes on IG. I'm going back to being ME.T his look was not planned at all, I was heading to do some errands and to eat with my mom who was in town. Yes, my hair is longer here because this photo is from a few months back. Why haven't I posted it? Because the sunglasses I designed for Bonlook were not out for sale yet and I really wanted to share them when you could be able to buy and LOVE the sunglasses.
Who's with me? Let's make blogging fun again.
XOXO
El otro día estaba hablando con una querida amiga y bloggers, Remly de The Little Venecia, y ella me estaba contando lo mucho que le gustaba mi blog en el 2014....que todo se veía tan natural y divertido, que nada se veía planeado, que la estaba pasando tan bien.
Y la realidad es que las cosas han cambiado mucho en los últimos años. El mundo blogger ha crecido y la competencia ha crecido aún más. Antes cada cual tenía su estilo y no nos comprábamos. Ahora es inevitable cuando en IG salimos una tras otra. Uno empieza a comparar calidad de fotos, quien tiene la nueva cartera de moda, quien ha viajado más que quien, quien está trabajando con quien, etc
Y aunque por esto no voy a dejar de viajar, ni de jugar con mi estilo; si quiero regresar a eso de divertirme al 100% con el blog. Quiero no pensar en que "al look le falta algo" para que sea un look con muchos likes. Quiero compartir mis looks reales, todas deberíamos dejar de producirnos tanto...no estamos en Fashion Week todo el año.
Este es de un día muy casual mientras mis papas visitaban en Miami. No lo había publicado porque la colección de Bonlook todavía no había salido y de verdad quería que tuviesen la oportunidad de comprarlos si les gustaban.
¿Quién me acompaña? Hagamos de esta industria lo divertida que solía ser.
¡BESOS!
