::DM'12 - LA MAISON 1888::

We like to party like super stars! 

During Dominicana Moda, our national fashion week, I was invited to Brugal's Party - Maison 1888. Hosted by fashion magazine Factoria, fashion blogger The Hippie Nerd, PR Maneger Stefano Cavoli and designer Jacqueline Then. 

I decided to wear this jazzberry jam dress I designed and custom made a couple of years ago when I was in Fashion School. Also, I needed to add a statement piece to my "minimal" attire; so Ela designed this beautiful masterpiece to complement my outfit which definitely stood out!

Mission accomplish!

::AUTUMN LIGHT::

Are you ready for a change of season? Here in DR, we have a big dilema when with talk about that: "New season, is that really exists?" Well, maybe the temperature doesn't get lower than 22C degrees, and the trees do not start loosing yellow leaves and it doesn't get dark at 4:30 pm ... However, lately I have noticed some changes; last week around 5 - 6 pm there was a "strange" light coming through my window, first I though it was the sunset light and I ran like crazy to see if I could get a cool picture to instagram the moment (btw, are you following me? .. I'm new with this so follow me!) but not, the sky was the same, still the atmosphere was kind of sepia; two days later I was driving and it happened again. I was so upset I couldn't capture it with a instant-picture that I decided to re-create it, and this is how this outfit post was born.

I used 3 light layers to create this look: a pleated dress, a laced blouse and a cut-out blazer; added a studded bracelet to create a cool contrast.

Thanks God, it's friday! Wish you all a happy, happy weekend!

¿Están listo para un cambio de temporada? En República Dominicana, es un gran dilema cuando se hable sobre eso "Cambio de estación, realmente existe?". A lo mejor, la temperatura no baja mas de 22 C grados, los árboles no comienzan a perder sus hojas y no oscurece a las 4:30 de la tarde... sin embrago, últimamente me he fijado en algunos cambios; por ejemplo la semana pasada a eso de las 5-6 pm una "extraña" luz comenzó a entrar por mi ventada, corrí como loca a ver si podia tomar una foto para mi instagram (por cierto, me estas siguiendo?... soy nueva en esto así que necesito apoyo!) lo que había sucedido es que el cielo estaba igual de siempre pero se había creado una atmosfera sepia que rodeaba el entorno. Dos dias después, estaba manejando y volvió a ocurrir lo mismo. Me frustró tanto el hecho de no poder captar ese momento en una foto instantánea, que decidí recrearlo y fue así que nació este "outfit post".

Usé 3 capas ligeras para lograr este atuendo: un vestido plisado, una blusa de encajes y una chaqueta con cortes en la espalda; añadí una pulsera con tachuelas para darle un poco contraste.

¡Gracias a Dios es viernes, les deseo un feliz fin de semana a todos!

::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.

I feel so grateful! ♥

Hace un mes, tuve un sesión fotografica para UEPA Mag (Revista Dominicana). La sección se llama "Cool'ers", donde hablé sobre mi vida y mi estilo personal.

Agradezco enormemente a  Sager de Peña, que me dio esta magnifica oportunidad y por considerarme una chica dominicana muy "cool".

Me siento muy agradecida.♥
