::OLD BUT GOOD::

I was cleaning my hard disk and I found all these old, but good, photos. I shoot them two years ago when I was in school learning how to be a stylist. This one photo was part of my first shooting, I loved that shoot! (you can see the behind the scene HERE and the multimedia version HERE).

Time flies, I've learned so much and I've grown a lot, personal and professional. Today, I feel grateful, I've had the most wonderful experiences anyone could ask for.

Happy weekend!

::I'M DAY DREAMING::

Hey, my bangs are back!!! ...and this is going to be my look for the whole summer: a braided crown. Last year I used this hair-do very often, it's stylish and keeps my hair under control when the heat is driving me crazy! Visit my Hair-do Board on Pinterest to find more ideas!

Lately, this is all I've been wishing.

Happy Friday!

::MORE SUMMER TRENDS::

Officially, the summer has started!

Last week, my friend Sager from Glint-Trends, Looks, Shine Blog  posted that right now it was kind of hard to do cool-hunting beacuse everyone is looking the same. I couldn't agree more, unfortunately that is why we called a "trend" because you see it everywhere. I wanted to show you 4 more summer trends that I haven't seen them that much and can be pretty cool to try them out:

1. Total nude: Change your color palette. I know bright colors are so "in" and don't get me wrong, I LOVE color, but you can try a total monochromatic look, from head to toe. I chose nude but it can be any color, it would look refreshing!.

2. Mixed Prints: My favorite! I have been following this trend for a while, and for summer it's always a perfect catch. The best way to accomplish this look, it's to pick two prints that have the same tones of color. It will have an optical effect making the two patterns look alike.

3. Show your Abs: Ok, so to get this look the number one rule is: Zero fat food and a lot of exercises! After that, pick a high waisted pants or skirt with a cropped top, you don't need to show your whole belly just a little bit of skin and the work is done. This look can be very "lady like" too, remember this post!?

4. Girly with sneakers: This trend is perfect for a day full of errands, when you need to be comfortable and look cute as well. Get a girly outfit and paired it with a high heel sneaker, they are so trendy right now. Then, if you need to go out after work, change the sporty shoes for a wedged sandals and you are ready to go!

However you have to be careful, and choose trends that really define you and try to make them look "different" so it doesn't look like we all part of a cult. 

A final tip: Mix Trends! For example: Neon and tribal, sporty with prints or monochromatic patterns... just remember to be creative and have fun!

::SOMETHING SWEET::

Yesterday, I wanted something sweet to my heart and there is nothing like pure chocolate that makes me feel so good. If your are asking who made this, the answer is... MOI! Yes, I know! I'm always saying I'm not into cooking but when it comes to desserts, I can get inspired and that was the case. It was nothing special, just a simple classic brownie that I learned how to make when I was 14 and the recipe stayed in my head like the ABC. 

Note: I'm pretty good at it!

Ayer, quería algo dulce para mi corazón y no hay nada como el chocolate puro que me haga sentir tan bien. Si te estas preguntando quién hizo esto, la respuesta es ... YO! Sí, lo sé! Siempre estoy diciendo que no me atrae cocinar, pero cuando se trata de postres, puedo inspirarme y ese fue el caso. No es nada especial, sólo un brownie clásico y sencillo que he aprendí a hacer cuando tenía 14 años y la receta se quedó grabada en mi cabeza como el ABC.

Nota: soy bastante buena en ello!

::RESORT 2013: PRINTS::

Hello Monday! 

A new week ahead of us. Have you noticed something new? I made some little changes on the blog during these last couple of days. I decided I would like to have something more minimal and clean so my posts will be more graphic. The contents will be the same, I only will try to improve the way I present it to you.  

Back to the fashion, have you seen the Resort collections for 2013? For me, these collections are like a sneak peak for the - upcoming - Spring collections that will be showed in September/October at Fashion Week. I noticed there will be a lot of prints; maxi-prints, all-over prints, mix&match prints, animal prints, graphic prints ... and... CAMOUFLAGE?

 Oh yes, indeed! Be prepared!

::BACK TO WORK:

Ok, so after Curacao, I came back to reality ... which means: A lot of work!! I have so many projects in mind; for my blogs, for The Key Item Store and of course, my - real - job. Uff... It's a "Make -it- Work" moment!

Last week, I went to Sema Department Store, and I spotted some of the most fabulous - inexpensive- key items for the summer. I'll make the official post this week on The Key Item so stay tuned. In the meantime, here are the pictures of my shopping afternoon. 

Ok, así que después de Curazao, volví a la realidad ... lo que significa: ¡¡Un montón de trabajo!! Tengo tantos proyectos en mente; para mis blogs, para The Key Item Store y, por supuesto, para mi trabajo oficial como diseñadora grafica. Uff ... Esto es un "make-IT-work" moment! 

La semana pasada, pasé por Sema, y encontré las más fabulosas (y a muy buen precio) piezas para el verano. Voy a hacer el post oficial esta semana en The Key Item así que esten atentos. Mientras tanto, aquí están las fotos de mi tarde de compras.

::THANK YOU, CURACAO::

Pictures from last days in Curacao. 

I feel so grateful, my trip to Curacao was a wonderful experience. Every time I travel, I meet new people, which it's very refreshing and I can always learn something new, and more about myself.  Our crew were from all around the world, everyone was so nice and kind, and they showed me how to have a great time.

I want to thank everyone who was part of this event; designers, photographers, models, make-up artist, volunteers and special guest.... You were FANTASTIC! However my special love is to Julissa Martich, creative director of CURFW. Thank you for letting me be part of this event! Keep up the hard-work!

Happy Friday!
