Fringe Queens...Austin, Texas

Thursday, October 29, 2015




On August, I was in New York for a photoshoot with JC Penney (check out the post "My Style Story"). While doing the fitting, I fell in love with this jacket...so bright, so cool..and you all know how much I love fringe (even tomorrow's post has a little fringe!! haha).  The day of the shoot, I left my favorite jean jacket on set (a jean jacket I got at Forever 21 about 5 years ago, I bleached it and it is so soft by no!). The JC Penney team was so amazing that they not only returned my jacket but they also included the blue fringe jacked I loved so much (with a cute note that I got to have it!). It is such a statement piece that the first look with it had to be as simple as possible...in b&W. I had my regular jeans on and it looked a little plain...so Ashes Into Fashion offered  me her cool ripped jeans...aren't they so cool? I want to try to distress some of my old black jeans...let's see how that goes. I wore this to go have dinner with my friends in Austin...we saw this cool wall and we had to stop to take pictures (and it matched my look perfectly). On this trip, I wore my hair a lot in a half pony (Ariana Grande-ish)...but my hair was out of control and it was the only way it looked okay. Hope you are having a fantastic week ! XOXO

En Agosto, estuve en Nueva York para una sesión de fotos con JC Penney "My Style Story"- ahí me probé esta chaqueta de flecos azul y me enamoré. Por casualidades de la vida, dejé mi chaqueta de blue jean en el set (mi chaqueta de jean favorita, que yo misma decoloré y es de esas que lleva años en mi "klozet). El equipo de JC Penney no solo me mandó mi chaqueta si no que también me dijeron que notaron lo mucho que me había gustado la chaqueta de flecos azul, y me la regalaron!! Es de esas piezas que definitivamente es el punto principal del look; por eso la combiné con piezas B&W. Los jeans se los robé a Ashes Into Fashion por el día...voy a intentar romper unos míos así. Esto lo utilicé para ir a cenar...de camino encontramos esta pared super cool y quisimos tomar fotos ahí.  En ese viaje estuve usando mucho el cabello en una media cola alta (medio Ariana Grande) pero es que mi cabello no se estaba comportando y era la manera más fácil de peinarlo! ¡Les mando un mega abrazo!!


Hidden Gems...Austin, Texas

Wednesday, October 28, 2015



Gabe and I were in Austin, Texas last week...so in today's post I'm going to talk a little bit more in detail about what we were doing there. We were invited by Chevrolet to visit our city of choice (there were many options: Boston, New Orleans, Atlanta...and of course, Austin). I don't know what was the decision process but we were very glad to end up there...especially because Ashley (from Ashes Into Fashion) and her husband were able to drive from Dallas to stay with us.  The idea was to enjoy the city, visit #HiddenGems while driving the Trax around town. So I want to share some of my favorite places. Let's start:

Gabo y yo estuvimos en Austin, Texas la semana pasada y aquí les cuento en más detalle que hacíamos por allá. Chevrolet nos invitó a conocer nuestra ciudad de preferencia (habían varias opciones: Boston, New Orleans, Atlanta...y Austin). No se como terminamos en Austin pero me alegra mucho haber ido a esta ciudad...especialmente porque invitamos a nuestros amigos, Ashley de AshesIntoFashion y a su esposo. La idea era disfrutar de la ciudad, buscar sus tesoros escondidos, mientras paseamos en el Trax. Hoy les cuento de los lugares que más me gustaron :).. Empecemos.

Greetings from AUSTIN, TX

 Okay so before sharing all the fun things we did in Texas,...I want to share some of my looks there! After a full day of working, we went to the hotel to change . Since the plan was to explore, I put on my white sneakers (super on trend, of course haha..but mainly because they are so comfortable).  Our first stop was this cool wall that says "Greetings from Austin, Texas". Then we went for cupcakes and we had a sushi double date to celebrate my birthday! Hope you like the look! XOXO

Este fue otro de mis looks en Austin...queríamos pasear y conocer un poquito más de la ciudad- por eso me puse cómoda en mis zapatos de goma blancos...y nos fuimos a explorar. Fuimos a una de las famosas paredes de graffiti de Austin que dice "Greetings from Austin, Texas". Pronto les cuento más de lo que estuvimos haciendo como tal...mientras les muestro el look :) Cuéntenme que les pareció! ¡Un abrazo!

Cathedral of Junk... Austin, Texas

Friday, October 23, 2015



Let's start with the pictures from Austin, TEXAS!!
This week we went to Texas with Chevrolet for a fun opportunity where we basically just had to explore the hidden gems of the city. One of my favorite places was this one, the Cathedral of Junk.

This construction is hidden behind a house in a normal neighborhood, you can't even tell it's there! The owner, Vince Hangman started building it in 1988 (best year of course, because of my birth date) and he says that it doesn't have a special meaning...he just loves it! It reminded me of a treehouse/clubhouse for kids. It has so many cool details and it's fully made of "junk".


Hope you like the pics!

p.s we got a picture of the artist and look at his tattoo..Junk King! So cool!

¡¡Empecemos con las fotos de Austin, TEXAS!!!
Esta semana estuvimos en Austin explorando la ciudad junto a Chevrolet...fue divertídisimo y fuimos a lugares muy cheveres como esta Catedral de Basura!!

Esta "Catedral" queda en una urbanización normal y corriente...en la casa del dueño, Vince Hanneman. Vince comenzó a construir esta obra de arte en 1988 (el mejor año, por supuesto jajaj) y dice que no tiene ningún significado especial...solo le gusta. A mi me recordó como a una casa de árbol de niño, tiene tantos detalles divertidos y esta toda hecha de basura.

¡Espero que les gusten las fotos! BESOS



DALLAS: Deep Ellum

Saturday, June 6, 2015





Hey everyone! I feel like I've been a little MIA from the blog and social media…but it is okay to put down our phones once in a while. I feel like our generations is missing some of the most important moments in life because we are scrolling down our phones all the time! So instead I've been trying to enjoy every minute while out with Gaby, friends, and even Chiki.

I wore tipis while in Texas at the beginning of the past month. I wore it to go to a cool area called Deep Ellum- it reminds me a lot of Wynwood in Miami because of the street art and the hipster vibe. I met with Mayte from Mayte Doll- she is a sweetheart and I loved meeting her in person. We had a beer at a place called Brain Dead and then headed to a thrift store…it had the coolest little finds (well, even cool vintage furniture!). I'm not 100% sure if I have mentioned this before but I was in  Texas doing a city guide for SheKnows.com and it's finally published. Check it out here.

Hope you are having a fantastic weekend! XOXO

¡Hola!! Se que he estado un poco desaparecida de las redes sociales y el blog pero es bueno tomarse un descanso de vez en cuando. Siento que estamos perdiendo muchos momentos importantes de nuestras vidas por estar mirando todo el tiempo al teléfono; en vez, he estado disfrutando con mis amigos, con mi esposo, con Chiki…. Esto lo utilicé en Texas para ir a pasear por la zona de Deep Ellum (la cual me recordó mucho a Wynwood en Miami por sus graffities y su onda un poco hipster). Fuimos a un sitio que se llama Brain Dead a tomarnos una cerveza…no se crean, yo no soy de cerveza pero Gaby quería una y el lugar se veía supe chevere. Luego estuve con Mayte de Mayte Doll y fuimos a una tienda de segunda mano. Ahí había de todo, desde ropa vintage, electrodomésticos, muebles, y más. 

Creo que les mencioné pero la razón por la que estuve en Dallas era porque estaba haciendo un city guide con la página She Knows! Y ya la guía turística- sobre todo para comer rico, comprar, y conocer lugares cheveres ya está publicada. Pueden verla haciendo click por acá.

Espero que esten disfrutando su fin de semana y les mando abrazos inmensos.
