::I WISH::

I wish I could be there right now, drinking piña colada... instead, I'm in my office trying to figure out how to create a iPad App, when I'm actually a fashion designer/stylist! Yes, sometimes it seems like I can do magic. Wish me luck!

::Diary of Samaná::

Sorry for the lack of post lately, finally I have some time to make this post about my last weekend in Samaná.  I would like to present you a photo diary of this amazing weekend. 

Samaná is a magical place, located in the northeaster coast of Dominican Republic (It's THE PLACE TO GO IN 2012 according to the New York Times). The first day, we went to Playa Rincón, which is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean as stated by the UNESCO. After an adventurous 15 mins-boat trip, we made it!! and it was beautiful.. definitely, a place you must see if you come to this island. 

The second set of pictures are from Vista Mare, our apartment-hotel. The view was breath-taking and the place was so good, also the staff were very kind with us. The perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of life. 

Stay tuned... I have more pictures to show you! 

but in the meantime, wish you all a HAPPY WEEKEND! <3

::This is the End::

I can not believe that I'll be leaving this island in less than 48 hours.

However I'm glad to be back and start working again.

Tonight, is Vogue's Fashion Night Out in Milan and other wonderful cities... 

Sadly, I'll be missing it.... But enjoy it if you can go!

bathing suit: victoria's secret

Summer starts at Monterosso, Cinque Terre

After 8 months of research, trends, guides, shootings, styling days, key frames, layers, tweens, vectors, graphic, analyze of the fashion system, ad campaigns, photographers, showrooms and press offices... there is no more, or homeworks working progress or exams. We are DONE!

So.. what's next!? for this couple of days the answer will be... REST, and then I will figure it out.

Today, Silvia and I went to Monterosso, one of the cities of Cinque Terre...  the weather was nice and the beach not as bad as I thought (...I'm from the Caribbean, so I can be picky about beaches). We had a wonderful time, just relax without thinking of anything else. The best way of starting the summer vacations.
