Favorite Hair Product At The Moment !


Hi Ladies ! I want to talk about my new all time favorite hair product. As most of you may know I have curly hair. Growing up in a Latino household my mom always struggle when she washed my hair. I remember being five years old crying because my mom was going to wash my hair and since i had long curly hair my tangles were eternal. I am not going to lie I would always get a blowout because i just sometimes didn't want to deal with my curly hair.

 As most of you may know i left on vacation the beginning of August, All i could think of was my hair and humidity don't make great sense. The day before leaving I went to my local drugstore on a hunt for the perfect natural hair product. While roaming the hair product aisle THIS Shea Moisture product caught my eye. I decided to give it a try and boy I am IN LOVE with it. 

This curl enhancing treatment has been a life savior. It smells divine, doesn't leave your hair sticky, it makes your hair soft and your curls become bouncier. On the bottom I have added a picture that I took before heading to the airport. I was so happy that my hair looked so well put together. After i arrived my hair didn't blow up like bubble it stayed right where it should be. The month that i spent in Dominican Republic this was my go to product. After coming out of the shower I would dry my hair with a tee shirt then I would apply 1 tablespoon size of the product from roots to end and let it air dry.



                                 
                            
     
                                                                                 

If you have  curly hair this product is for you. I know you will fall in love with it. A apologize for not blogging the past couple of weeks I am in the process of many changes in my life. 

XOXO Andrea

Fall 2014 Must Haves

Fall Must Haves



I AM BACK !!!!! Yes i know it's been a while from the last time i post something on my blog. But as you may know i was on vacation to the Caribbean where i spent over a month stress free. Relaxing and living the life literally would not do anything in the day. Just relax. But I am glad to be back to my city and happy that Fall is almost here. Which that means that I have to start pulling out all of my favorite pieces for the fall. 

This Fall i am being more risky with my makeup and outfits. On this post i have added things which at the moment i am crushing from my favorite drink of the fall the famous PSL
 ( Pumpkin Spice Latte) from Starbucks,  The new collection of Altuzarra for Target and the Givenchy Leather Tote which is screaming BUY ME. 

Another piece that I am crushing is the burgundy Motorcycle jacket it is a statement piece it looks great with every outfit plus it is very Chic and it makes me feel COOL ! the other pieces are great accessories that every girl must have for the fall. Before i forget don't forget to have your room smelling all Autumn. Every year  I buy a couple of my favorite candles for the fall at Bath and Body works they make me feel warm inside plus they smell amazing. 

So Who is happy that Fall Is Finally Here ?

Summer City Chic Style


I have been MIA for the past week in a half I apologize for that. Every time summer comes I get terrible migraines which leave me in bed for days feeling dizzy and not being able to do anything. I have also been getting things ready for my trip to the Dominican Republic which i will be leaving the next month, and i am so excited. 
leaving that to the side a couple days ago i was online looking for a pair of sneakers for my trip. I ended up looking at these cuties They are Nike Air Max.

I remember being in 8th grade and shopping with my mom for the summer when i felt in love with the same pair of sneakers just in the color Red and White. I use to be the cool kid on my block every time i use to put on the sneakers. Now that i see these all of sudden i got the urge to get them.

As many of you may know I only have ONE pair of sneakers and they are only to workout. Other than that I wear flats and heels. I decided to pair a cool outfit for the summer with these sneakers. I think they are so cool. It's perfect for a relax day around the city wearing a cool bag and outfit. I made it super simple but Chic. What you think? would you wear this? Leave a comment on the bottom and let me know. Have a great weekend !

Simple Summer Look

Hi Y'all as summer approach every year i tend to wear less makeup. If i do it's a minimal look. My skin is super sensitive to the sun and literally it is always itching that it's why most of the time i just wear my moisturizer and sunscreen. But.... when i do wear makeup i like to do a minimal summer look.  Yesterday I posted on my Instagram (@classylady) a picture of a simple summer look when i do wear makeup.  I decided to share with you gals the products that i used to create this look.

Dreaming Of Portofino Italy

dreaming of PORTOFINO



Now that I am finally settled in my new apartment. I feel like is time to go on a vacation. Vacation i missed that word so much. Maybe not the word but the meaning of it. Vacation means to me disconnected of the world no Internet, phone, or emails. Sipping on a mimosa, relaxing, eating great food, and discovering new places. Currently I dream of Portofino Italy. 

Just in case you didn't know where Portofino is located it is a village located on the Italian riviera it has FOUR beaches. I have been dreaming of visiting Italy since i was in college and after reading the book Eat Pray Love which if you haven't read it i suggest you do. It has been a while without posting something on the blog due to the over whelm of my new apartment. 

Gosh it is so stressful to unpack and decor a new place so many decisions to make. But now i am settled and ready to relax. Well at least. I wish. I still have a couple of months before i go on vacation but mean while i will keep dreaming of Italy and it's amazing food and culture. To all the ladies that are traveling this summer this inspiration post is for you. It includes all of my favorite and must haves for your trip.

Have a nice weekend everyone !

Mothers Day Gifts Ideas

Mothers day gifts

May is Finally here that means that Mothers day is right around the corner. In my home we celebrate Mothers Day twice. The American and Dominican Mothers day. American is at the beginning of May and Dominican is the Last Sunday of the month. I usually divide the gifts that i give my mom. Either one day i just take her out for brunch and the other i give her flowers and a nice present.

 Here i have different ideas of different gifts you can give your mom or grandmother on Mothers Day. I have a variety of options which you can choose. These are my top 9 gifts. Remember to never forget the card. I usually write a hand letter to my mom which she values a lot due that today most people send emails and texts and forget about hand writing a letter.  I am still old school. Plus my mom knows the hard work and dedication i put to the letter i even decorate it using color pencils just like the old days when i was in elementary school.

 I hope these gifts can give you a clue of what you want to give to your loved one. Never forget to say I LOVE YOU to your mom even if you live far from her call her and let her know. Remember everyday is mothers day. They sacrifice their lives to help us become the great person we are today. Their is no gift that i can give my mom other than loving, respecting and cherishing her. She is my true best friend. 

Tell me the one time you scored on the best gift for your mom on Mothers Day.

Leather + Sneakers = Comfort Chic

Untitled #541



2014 is Here ! I hope everyone had an amazing New Year celebration. I hope you all reach your new goals. One if mine is to own a pair of leather pants. Yep I said it right. God they are so sexy ! I simply cannot find a pair where i can say that it's it i don't have to search for a new pair leather pants. 

I just love the look of leather jeans and simple sneakers like that Nike that i have. You might say WHAT sneakers as part of a outfit that has leather pants. well that's the fun of fashion that you can play around with items that you will never imagine. 

This outfit is mainly all black with touch of grey and plaid. It's perfect for the winter of 2014. This outfit is perfect for the gal that is always wants to be comfortable with her clothing but also daring by wearing leather pants.  

Have a nice weekend !

Cozy Monday.....

Hi Y'all !! I know I have been lost for the past couple of days. But I am back. Today I woke up happy and full of energy which is totally the opposite because I always have trouble waking up. I mean who doesn't want to stay in bed on a chilly Fall morning.

I decided to wear a super comfortable and cozy outfit. You know the usual, Over sized sweater, Leggings and Booties. I am in love with these booties they are from target. I totally love them. They are comfortable and super cute. 

And if you are on a college graduate budget like me these are great. On the bottom I have a picture of the shoes that I will be wearing this Fall. These are mainly my everyday shoes. Have a great week girly girls !

My Fall Wish List

fall wishlist



Hello Ladies can you believe fall is around the corner. And to tell you the truth I am happy. I was never a big fan of Fall and I don't know why. I guess  while I was in school I always thought that summer was better because I could see my family and travel more often. But now I am obsessed with Fall. And it all starts with the way I dress. No more hot summer days and no more bright clothing or nail polish. 

I already started washing all of my cardigans and scarfs that were hiding in my closet. But a little shopping won't hurt right ? This is my fall wish list. These are all my necessities in order to survive this fall. A good pair of riding boots and the perfect dark lipstick oh and I love the Bath and body works candles.  Another thing that I love about fall is New york Fashion week ! Super excited to see the new collections of my favorite designers.

What is on your wish list for this fall.

Back To School Favorites : College Edition

school




Hello September !  It's finally here and although summer is not gone yet that is how I feel after Labor day.  I am a bit nostalgic not because summer is over but because students are heading back to a new year of hard school work. I don't know why but I am sad !! I truly am. I thought that after graduating college I would be happy  because I would be entering the real world and finally i wouldn't have to write 10 page papers for my Global Communications class. 

Last week I met with my best friend because she wanted  to buy her school supplies. I was just their by her side while she was looking around for notebooks and pens.  While I was looking around, I would see students looking for the same things. It was so funny that I told her to pick the pink five star notebook in my honor. So she did of course. My Family members think is pathetic but I have been in school all my life and I actually enjoyed being in school and learning new things.

  So I decided to do a back to school post on what I would usually take to college with me. These would never leave my bag. I have included a Long Champ tote because it is my favorite bag I used it for 3 years straight and now it's just hiding in my closet because I don't want to throw it away, too many memories. I hope everyone that is going back to school have a great year full of achievements. While I can't wait to enter grad school in the Spring.  

BTW this is my beat up Long Champ just in case you wouldn't believe me. :)

Outfit Inspiration : The Perfect Flowery Summer Dress

Untitled #508



Hello Girlie's This week I am back with an Inspiration outfit. This outfit screams out  PORTOFINO Italy !!!!  Imagine sitting near the bay on a beautiful sunny day with this simple yet gorgeous flowery dress and your wavy hair moving with the breeze. I can see myself wearing this outfit. It is beautiful and great for a casual lunch or for simple dinner by the water. I also included these pair of sandals and my favorite tote bag from J.Crew.  Hope you guys get a bit of inspiration with this outfit. And pardon me for talking so much of the French Riviera or Italy lately is that I have an obsession with the Mediterranean sea, oops.

Simplicity of A Friday Outfit !

Friday Outfit


TGIF ! Thank God Is Friday Literally this week has been a bit hectic for me. I have been running around attending different interviews and also working long hours. Thankfully Fridays are more relaxing....although I still have to work full day.  As I said before on my other blog post that in the summer I hate wearing a lot of accessories due to that my skin doesn't cope very well in the summer and also because I don't want to feel like I am over dressed or have too much on. That is why I love to wear dresses especially maxi dresses, a pair of flip flops and hit the streets. This is the perfect outfit that identifies my not so busy Friday on a hot summer day. Thankfully these past couple of days have been extremely nice and not raining or cold. I hope everyone enjoy their weekend.

Relaxed Spring Day In NYC

Relaxed day in the UES




 dress / shoes, / jewelry / fragrance,  / nail polish

Hello Girlies I hope everyone had a great Memorial Weekend. My weekend consisted of yummy pancakes from Clinton St Bakery and days with a lot of laughter and shopping (making damage).  This week is more relaxed and finally is not raining
 So i decided to go with my friends to the Met Museum and have lunch at Central park. I just love laying a Turkish towel on the grass and sit down chat and  wonder around. Of course with a super relaxed outfit. This is my inspiration, this is how I am feeling right now with a twist of elegance. I hope everyone enjoy the last couple of days of spring before summer hits up.

XOXO Andrea
