I absolutely love wearing boots…but let’s say that living in Miami, we (Nico and I) didn’t have the right boots for our winter getaway to North Carolina.
The weather during mid-December in North Carolina can be a little unpredictable- we weren’t sure if we were going to get snow BUT we knew there were a few waterfalls around the area and we were excited to go see them.
So I headed to DSW, our family go-to for all things shoes and THE boot destination with all the styles you might need for any occasion. I had two pairs in mind: rain boots and snow boots.
RAIN BOOTS
In our bucket-list, we had many waterfalls to visit around the area so I knew it was a must for Nico and me to get rain boots. And I honestly have been eyeing these Hunter boots for a while, especially for those crazy storms in Miami (we have them more than frequently).
But I am IN LOVE with Nico’s boots, they are super easy to put on and off (and as he is getting more independent, he loves that). He was very excited when he saw the space print and EVEN more excited when he realized they light up. They also comes in a super cute dinosaur print.
SNOW BOOTS
We really wanted to see snow BUT we weren’t as lucky. However, another thing in our bucket list was to go tubbing in a close-by area, so we got to wear our snow boots even if just for a little bit.
Mine are SOREL and I know they are a classic and will last me many seasons to come.
Nico’s are Columbia and he has been wearing them a lot, especially during the colder days of our getaway.
I ordered our boots online and picked the curbside option, but the store layouts have also been redesigned to support social distancing. You can also sign up to be a DSW VIP and get free shipping on any order! You can also get $10 OFF Express Shipping using the code ISHIPIT (from December 15th to December 18th) to get any last-minute Holiday shopping on time!

You can call me "attached"; but when you find a great piece, you should hold on to it.
It's like that saying "why fix it if it's not broken".
I got these boots who knows how long ago, probably in 2014. They are from Guess, I tell you because that's the number one question; but as you can imagine, they don't sell them anymore. At the end of this post, you can see similar versions at different price points.
There are many things that make these boots great:
- They have a chunky heel so it's not the typical sexy over the knee boot.
- They are very narrow, so they don't fall off my knees.
- Well, as you can see, they go with EVERYTHING.
I did a remix with them in 2016, it included 12 looks. But I haven't stopped wearing them, they especially make their appearance in the colder months.
If there is one place to really admire New York's beautiful skyline is from the Brooklyn Bridge. It's a must stop for any tourist- we were there a year before during the summer time and also in 2013.
XOXO
Si hay un lugar de donde se puede aprovechar espectacularmente la belleza de NYC, es desde el puente de Brooklyn. No es la primera vez que hemos estado allÃ. las invito pasar a ver mis posts pasados: el del año pasado durante el verano y también el del 2013
BESOS!
I don't remember the last time I ice-skated - My mom says it was in 2005 and before that 1996...so let's say, it is tradition to do it every approximately 10 years. I had so SO SO SO much fun. When we were doing the line (which was long, but I guess it could have been worse), I saw so many people falling and falling. It probably had to do that the ice wasn't flat. But I was definitely scared, I didn't want to end with a broken arm...and I can be a little clumsy. But my body is more agile than I give it credit. I did gymnastics for 10 years, and I was feeling like a pro within minutes (at least I was going faster than 80% of the people).
No me acuerdo la última vez que patiné sobre hielo. Según mi mamá fue en el 2005 en Colorado y antes de eso en 1996 en Venezuela. Asà que digamos que es una tradición de cada diez años...que honestamente deberÃa hacerlo más seguido porque no tienen idea lo increÃble que fue. Mientras hacÃamos la cola (la cual se veÃa larguÃsima pero se movÃa relativamente rápido), vi a tanta gente caerse ( y DURO)- que admito que entré con miedo de terminar con un brazo roto, y más por lo torpe que soy de vez en cuando. Pero a mi como que se me olvida que hice gimnasia durante la mayor parte de mi vida y mi cuerpo es más ágil de lo que le doy crédito...me sentà como una pro, bueno al menos iba más rápido que la mayorÃa de las personas ahÃ.
Sooo... I've had this pink trench in my closet for more than a year. I got it last year before New York Fashion Week. However, It wasn't warm enough for NYC in February...and we didn't get an actual winter last year in Miami. The past couple of weeks, we have gotten some cold days in Miami. So if it was the perfect time to finally wear my pink trench. I went for a minimalist combo with grey jeans and a beige sweater.
I hope we can wear it again with regular blue jeans or with a grey sweater dress.
How would you wear a pink coat?

Tengo este abrigo rosa pálido desde el año paso y no me lo habÃa puesto. Me lo compré para la Semana de la Moda en Nueva York ...pero era muy delgadito para el frÃo que hace allá en Febrero. Y el "invierno de Miami" el año pasado tampoco fue muy fuerte como para usarlo. Pero este año ha sido distinto...hemos tenido unos dÃas inesperadamente frescos...hasta con este combo de suéter + abrigo, tenÃa frÃo.
En esta ocasión quise estrenar el abrigo rosa con unos jeans grises y un suéter beige- pero me gustarÃa usarlo con jeans regulares azules y una camiseta blanca...o con un vestido con temida de suéter. ¿Qué dicen ustedes? ¿Cómo lo usarÃan?

And Chicago said Good-Bye to us with a gorgeous snow fall. This was just right before heading to the airport, but we had to stop (right in front of the hotel) and take pictures. I didn't see snow until I was 15...and every time I see it, it's just so magical.
The only downside to these pictures was that, since we were about to leave, I wasn't wearing any thermal underwear or tons of layers. I don't think you can tell how cold I was from these pics haha.
Hope you like them! XOXO
Chicago nos despidió con una nevada hermosisima. Estas fotos fueron justo antes de irnos al aeropuerto, pero tenÃamos que aprovechar y tomar unas fotitos en la nieva. Como les he contado, la primera vez que vi la nieve fue a mis 15 años. Y sigue siendo muy mágico cada vez que la veo.
Les cuento que como fue antes de salir del aeropuerto, solo tenÃa estas capas (nada de forro polar ni 3 suéteres debajo). Creo que disimulé muy bien el frÃo que tenÃa jaja.
¡Espero que disfruten las fotos! ¡ABRAZOS!

Oh Chicago! Chicago!
It wasn't the first time I've been in Chicago. I went twice in 2011- one for a marathon with Nike and then for a hispanic conference called Latism. Check out those posts, I look like a baby (and let's not even talk about what I was wearing). However, this time I went with Gabe and we love exploring the city.
We really loved it, it looked so beautiful with snow everywhere...and the lake was frozen!
We got there on Monday, we checked in, showered, and headed straight to have lunch. A couple of people recommended Giordanos where they are known for their Chicago-style pizzas. Honestly it was a good and bad decision. It was delicious but it was so big!! We didn't expect it! After that we headed to the Skydeck to see the city from the #103. I was going to add those pics on this post but they need their own posts (so stay tuned for that tomorrow).
About what I'm wearing, I realized I don't really own a lot of winter clothes (hey, I live in Miami, why would I). Everything I took to this 4 day trip was the same I wore in NYFW last year. The coat is from Desigual but it is obviously sold out (I linked to similar options below). I also realized that even though I love small bags, they are not for the winter. So this Coach swagger bag was perfect for this trip, that way I can add the gloves and everything inside (tell me I'm not the only one who does this!).
Have amazing weekend!

¡Chicago! ¡Chicago!!
Hace un par de año estuve en Chicago dos veces - una en octubre y otra en noviembre, y yo pensé que ese momento hacÃa frÃo...¡como me equivoqué! Pero es bueno cambiar de ambiente...pudimos disfrutar de la ciudad toda nevada y de usar 10 capas a la vez para poder explorar la ciudad.
Llegamos al mediodÃa el martes, hicimos check in, nos bañamos y fuimos directo a Giordanos- un sitio donde venden las pizzas estilo Chicago. TenÃamos mucha hambre y pedimos una ensalada y una pizza mitad y mitad...fue una mala- pero buena decisión. Estaba riquÃsima pero comimos tanto ( ¡y eso que no nos comimos ni la mitad!!). De ahà seguimos para el Skydeck, donde puedes ver la ciudad desde el piso #103...pero eso viene en otro post porque tomamos unas fotos super cheveres (estén pendientes de eso mañana).
Sobre lo que estoy usando, me di cuenta que no tengo mucha ropa de invierno (obviamente por vivir en Miami). Me di cuenta que lo que me llevé a Chicago fue exactamente lo mismo que me llevé a Nueva York en febrero del año pasado. El abrigo es de Desigual, ya no lo venden pero les puse abajo varias opciones B&W similares. El climas frÃos prefiero usar carteras grandes, como esta Coach, porque asà puedo lanzar más cosas....en el frÃo siento que uno necesita más en la cartera (¿ soy la única?).
¡Les deseo un feliz fin de semana!!
DESIGUAL coat (similar from Ivanka Trump)
COACH scarf (on sale!)
GUESS over the knee boots (similar here)
ZEROUV sunglasses
Looking back at my latest posts...all I want to wear is basic and timeless pieces.
When it comes to coats (piece that I don't get to wear that often because of Miami's never ending summer). But I really recommend investing in a camel coat...they really are timeless and work with every style.
The last time I wore it was last year, with a big midi skirt and a stripped shirt...very Parisian. However, this time I went for a casual and chill all-black look with sneakers. See it is so versatile!
I really hope the 2016 Miami Winter lasts more than the usual so I can wear it again and be able to remix it before 2017! Now that I'm visiting Chicago for a couple of days, I can see that this coat specifically would only work in Miami (it is very light!)...in real winters, I would get pneumonia!
Hope you are having a great (and warm) week!!
Aparentemente últimamente lo que quiero son utilizar piezas básicas.
Cuando se trata de abrigos, uno color "camel" es imprescindible en el armario d toda mujer. Se ven extramadamente elegantes...o casuales, dependiendo de como los utilices.
Este abrigo lo tengo en mi "klozet" desde el año pasado, pero nada que Miami se ponÃa lo suficiente frÃa como para usarlo otra vez. Si no se acuerdan, les recomiendo pasar a ver como lo utilicé anteriormente...se veÃa mucho más elegante con la falda y camisa a rayas...muy parisino- ¡ven lo que le digo de la versatilidad!
Esta vez lo combiné con unos jeans con textura estilo cuero y una camisa básica negra con cuello tortuga. Ese dÃa tuve que hacer un par de diligencias para prepararme para el viaje a Chicago. Aquà SI que hace frÃo y este abrigo no me harÃa ni cosquillas jajaja.
¡Les mando un abrazo grandÃsimo!
Winter took a little longer to arrive this year. If you are still trying to find the perfect Winter Coat, here are some cute and cozy options. I added 10 pieces per trend, with different price ranges (there's one for everyone!)
Aparentemente este invierno se tomó su tiempo en llegar. Si todavÃa estas buscando el abrigo perfecto, aquà te dejo 5 tendencias para esta temporada. Para cada tendencia les dejo 10 opciones de diferentes presupuestos (¡hay uno para todas!).
1. MAD FOR PLAID
2. DUSTER COATS
3. LEOPARD IS TIMELESS
4. VIBRANT COLORED COATS
5. FURRY COATS (faux, please!)
What's your favorite coat trend?
¿Qué tendencia en abrigos es tu favorita?
AG JEANS moto jacket -- DAILYLOOK plaid blanket scarf -- FOREVER 21 white sweater
H&M burgundy coated jeans (similar, just $17) -- H&M wide brim hat
SPERRY quilted black booties
MARC BY MARC JACOBS handbag --- URBAN OUTFITTERS gloves
I have to admit that I changed several times a day while in New York; I rarely post winter outfits and I had to take advantage of every second…and I loved getting bundled up! This look is full of versatile "must-haves". I got these jeans at H&M almost 3 years ago, I can't believe I wasn't sure about buying them. I have worn them SO MUCH over the years- note to self: double check because I think I should update its respective remix. I also love this moto jacket, the price point is a little higher. However, it is a classic piece; and investing in good quality items that we are going to war a lot is definitely okay. I took this blanket scarf to wear with one look; it was so warm and cozy that I ended up wearing it over and over. Being in New York during the coldest days they've had in 20 years made me realize how lucky we are in Miami. That's it for today… I'm out to continue working on my thesis! XOXO

Admito que estando en Nueva York me cambié varias veces al dÃa para aprovechar y tomar fotos de looks invernales. Viviendo en una ciudad donde es verano el 90% del año, me gusta poder tomar fotos bastante abrigada. Este look está lleno de piezas versátiles que han visto millones de veces en el blog. Estos jeans los compré en H&M hace casi 3 años y les he sacado muchÃsimo provecho (tengo que revisar cuando fue la última vez que hice un remix con ellos, para actualizarlos). Esta chaqueta de "cuero" es una de esas piezas que no puede faltar en tu guardarropa. La bufanda me la lleve a Nueva York para usar en un solo outfit y la terminé usando con casi todos; era la más calientita que tenÃa. De verdad que admiro a las chicas con inviernos brutales que se toman fotos en falditas como si fuese verano…por mucho que uno se queja de la humedad de Miami, somos muy afortunados de tener este clima todo el año. ¡Les mando un abrazo grandote que me toca seguir trabajando en mi tesis! BESOS.
Like I told you, for this New York Fashion Week, I was so happy and grateful to partner again with the amazing team at TRESemmé, the official hair care sponsor of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. On the third day of NYFW, I visited the TRESemmé Salon at Lincoln Center again. I asked Yojanse for a perfectly (un)Done effortless ponytail.
To recreate this hairstyle:
- Prep by applying TRESemmé Perfectly (un)Done Sea Foam evenly through the hair to create natural looking waves.
- Wrap sections of hair around a heated curling iron- make sure to twirl away from your face.
- Gather hair at the nape of the neck and tie with an elastic.
- Take a section of hair and wrap it around the ponytail to hide the elastic.
- Pull a few pieces of hair to frame the face.
- Finish the look with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Illuminating Shine Spray to add a little bit of shine to the ponytail.
For my outfit: I wore this gorgeous Desigual coat (which I wore a couple of times because of how warm it was!); I paired it with some black leggings and black booties. We headed to Central Park to see how pretty it looks with snow and took advantage of the scenery to take pictures!
Hope you liked the look as much as I did! Check out more of the amazing hairstyles TRESemmé did on Instagram with the hashtag #TRESmbfw. For more hair inspiration and how-to's, visit YouTube.com/TRESemme.

Como les conté, esta Semana de la Moda en Nueva York, estuve muy feliz y agradecida de poder trabajar con el increÃble equipo de TRESemmé. El tercer dÃa de NYFW, visité el salón que tenÃan en Lincoln Center para que me peinaran. Le pedà a Yojanse (un dominicano simpatiquÃsimo) que me hiciera una cola de caballo baja. Ese mismo dÃa vimos un peinado muy similar en la presentación de Banana Republic. Me encanta este peinado porque es arregladito pero relajado al mismo tiempo…le da un toque glam a cualquier look casual.
Para recrear este peinado:
- Empieza aplicando TRESemmé Perfectly (un)Done Sea Foam en todo el cabello para ayudar a darle volúmen a tu cabello.
- Utiliza una rizadora sin clip y enrolla mechones a tu gusto. Si deseas, puedes abrir las ondas con tus dedos al terminar de rizar.
- Amarra tu cabello en una cola de caballo baja con una colita/liga transparente.
- Esconde la liga transparente con un mechón de cabello.
- Dale un poco de brillo a tu cola de caballo con TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Illuminating Shine Spray.
En cuanto a mi outfit: estuve usando este abrigo de Desigual muchÃsimo (era de los más calientitos que lleve); en esta ocasión lo combiné simplemente con unos jeans negros y unos botines negros. Quisimos dar un paseo por Central Park porque siempre ese ve hermosÃsimo con nieve; y aprovechamos para tomar un par de fotos con esa vista tan espectacular.
Espero que les haya gustado este look. Recuerda que puedes ver más de los increÃbles peinados que TRESemmé estuvo haciendo en Instagram con el hashtag #TRESmbfw. Y también puedes inspirarte y revisar tutoriales en YouTube.com/TRESemme. ¡BESOS!
