Weekend Outfit Inspiration

sweater /  jacket /  trousers /  booties / bag

Hi Ladies I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Here in NYC has been a bit raining and surprisingly not that cold. New York is a beautiful city but also very hectic. People are running around trying to catch the subway or a yellow cab. The city never sleeps.  Literally ! That is why on the weekends I love to rest  and go out to my favorite cafe on the west village and have my favorite latte. Sometimes living in a big city like New York I tend to forget I have to take more time for myself and just chill. This inspiration outfit is perfect for the weekend. I love to grab an easy outfit and take the camera with me because you never know what you will find. 

What do you like to do on the weekends?

Halloween Outfit

 shirt, / jacket /  jeans,  /  boots / clutch /  Cat Costume Set

Ive never been into costumes don't know why. I remember the last time I wore a costume was for when i was in third grade. That day i went home and told my mom I didn't want any more costumes. I would always wear an outfit that included colors black and orange. Over the past years  my Halloween outfit  has changed I've not been to many Halloween parties and in my house is just another ordinary day. Call me boring. it's fine.

 My family never celebrated Halloween. Although my mom did like to do her fall decor she would never include something scary or "Halloween" type. Well..... the only thing that I saw in my house was a fake pumpkin that lighted up. As a young women i still don't like to dress up in a costume but I do think i can switch a couple of things.

That is why i created this Halloween outfit which is perfect if your going out at night with your friends and want to act a bit silly.  I mean this is the farthest that I will go. I like this outfit i find it sexy and perfect for a Halloween night. I think black on  black is chic, sexy and with this outfit you will even feel and look cool. 

 To have that cat feeling i also added this Clara Vivier clutch which has been on my list for the longest. it's just stunning. And what about these Zara booties they are just perfect. Plus they are under 100 bucks !! If you're like me and not a fan of rocking a costume. I think this outfit will be perfect for you. Remember that is the only day you are permitted to eat all the candy you want. 

Happy Halloween !

My Halloween Pumpkin !

Fall Affordable Work Outfit

sweater /  skirt / Leopard Flats / jewelry

It also depends what kind of job you do but if you work force that requires you to dress well. I have the perfect outfit for you. This outfit it's perfect for the fall. is stylish and at the same time affordable. Each piece in this outfit are all under 50. As a recent college student I have to manage to keep a budget on anything that I am buying. That's why my go to stores are Target, Gap, Old Navy, Marshalls, Tjmaxx and many more. but those are my favorite.

 In this post i added the typical pencil skirt love the burgundy color. I added a pair of flats from gap which are versatile and match many outfits. But one o my favorite pieces is the sweatshirt with the bird on the front. It's so cute and guess what It's from one of my favorite stores, Target. I added the Phillip Lim for target handbag which I have and is great for work but if you cannot find it at target. I also love this mulberry look a like bag for 40 bucks at Target. And for last a J.Crew Inspired Tortoise necklace. Let's face it J.Crew necklace are beautiful. But sometimes way expensive for me that's why i love Etsy because you can find similar looks for less money. 

Hope this is helpful for you ! Remember you don't have to be tacky if your on a budget is about not giving up and looking for the deals.

My Type of Guy !

Collar Shirt /  Chinos / quilted vest / oxfords  / Beanie Hat /  iPhone 5 Case

I truly love when I see a guy that knows how to dress.  I don't think I have ever included menswear in the blog. I wanted to a post my favorite picks that are versatile and trendy. All the pieces that I included are great for the Fall and fun to wear. I have the typical plaid shirt, the chinos, quilted vest and suede oxfords. I love to see a guy rocking a pair of chinos I think it looks, comfy and casual. 

I have a long time without buying men's clothing. I don't have any brothers and unfortunately my dad passed away a couple years ago. But I do love to go to the menswear department at my favorite stores such as J crew to check out what is new. And hey you never know I can bump into my prince charm. Okay.... I am a bit exaggerating on that....... but I love a guy that knows how to dress. So if your boyfriend, Husband, Family member or a simply guy friend needs a bit of help this season. Here is a bit of help for them.

I know you can start with one of these pieces. It can be the chinos and simply go from their and  walla you have a fabulous outfit in minutes. I added that phone case it looks like is made out of wood I love the masculinity of it. Hey you can even be trendy with your phone.  And the Beanie I love it ! it has a great color and also it's perfect for fall or winter.

Remember Fall is about having fun and being cozy !

Zara Fall 2013

jacket /  sneaker / high heel sandals / bag / necklace /  hat

Zara does it again. I literally had to control myself to not take all my favorite pieces and waste all my savings. That's how crazy  I am about the Zara fall 2013 collection. I mean look at all these pieces they are simply breath taking. I love Zara. But what i love the most is the quality of their products. Last week after attending a meeting.  I was making my way to the subway as I glanced at the window of Zara and i said to myself let me just take a look at the window you know the typical WINDOW Shopping.....  But then that little voice you know that makes us buy and do things impulsively said go IN. 

It started to pour immediately I said to myself maybe by the time I come out it will stop raining, plus your just going to look around right?  Long story short that didn't happen.... I went in i saw a jacket and I tried it on immediately. then I started trying on a couple of things and while I was at the dressing room I kept asking myself do I need this. 

I ended up trying many things but didn't leave with anything. It took me a lot of will power to not leave with a couple of shopping bags. But I did it. So here i am sharing with you guys my favorite pieces from the new Zara collection. I don't promise you that I wont order something online. like those Leopard wedge sneakers that are calling my name. If you follow me on Instagram  you will notice I took a snapshot of these sneakers and literally asked people if I should get them or not. I don't know how but they are going to be part of my shoe collection. 

Do you ever go out and plan on not entering any store. But the first thing you do is go in when you see it? 

Enjoy the long weekend !

Orange Is The New Black !

turtleneck sweater / pencil skirt / jeans /  tassel loafer / tote bag /  necklace / phone Case / nail polish

One of the things that I love about autumn is how you can spice up your wardrobe with different color palettes.  I am usually all about neutrals. If you look in my closet you won't find a lot of bright  clothing pieces. Now that is October and is finally feeling like autumn I have fallen in love with this tangerine color.  It is Beautiful and this orange tone fits with the season and It's perfect for Halloween. 

If you are like me and love neutral colors you can start with nail polish or a simple necklace. All the pieces that I have added are great. I don't have a favorite but I do know that each of these pieces would be great in your closet.   So lets put some color in our lives this Fall.

Two Outfits, One Pair of Denims !

sweatshirt / shirt /  vest / relaxed straight leg jeans / shoes /  footwear /  purse

Hi Y'all Happy Monday ! I am back with another fun outfit. A couple weeks ago I did a day to night outfit and this time I wanted to do a super easy outfit with one of my favorite clothing pieces. I have said million of times that I love to buy clothing pieces that are versatile and also that I can dress it up or down. Well JEANS are the perfect example of the best clothing piece someone can have in their closet. I don't own many pairs of denims but I do have a couple that I love.  So here i have two outfits and ONE pair of destroyed  light denim pair. I love how Chic meets a bit of toughness. It makes the whole outfit look super effortless.

The first Outfit on the left I have added a jeweled sweater a pair of black oxfords and a color plum bag. I think the color coordinate perfectly and the color plum is just great for this fall. I think this outfit is great if you work at a casual environment or just to meet with your love ones for lunch. It's simple, a bit masculine and girly with the little sparkles on the sweater. 

When I was putting together the second outfit I thought of it as a casual everyday outfit with a sporty touch. I love how these retro sneakers are back. I mean these sneakers are making the perfect come back and they are cute and fun. these go great with many outfits. This outfit that I put together is super easy and plus I think all the pieces are a must for the Fall. I have included the famous plaid shirt and the perfect vest for chilly days.

If you are looking for the perfect everyday pair of jeans. These are great. they have a bit of slouchiness and the distress is just perfect. 

Enjoy !!  and always remember that you don't have to have a draw full of denims to rock the perfect outfit.

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 !

Fall Jackets Must Haves

J Crew jacket / Madewell jacket / Karl Donoghue vest / AllSaints jacket / black tweed jacket

Now that fall is finally here I definitely feel the sweater weather or better say jacket weather. It has been a bit chilly lately i have to admit that I already wore my military jacket because it was a bit chilly and really who doesn't like a stylish jacket.

What I love about jackets and vest is that not only are they a must for this fall, but that jackets compliment in a way or other your outfit.  I have included some of my favorite jackets at the moment. I only included 5 because I think these are the ones every lady should have hanging in her closet.

The tweed jacket i think is great for dinner or even corporate work wear. And to tell you the truth it reminds me of Chanel. And who doesn't want to wear a jacket that reminds you of Chanel is the epitome of a classy lady. Another of my favorite is the J.Crew quilted jacket I think is preppy, classy and I think it goes great with any outfit. It's great for day and night.
So..... If you are on a jacket hunt I think these would be perfect for this fall.

Fall Outfit Inspiration

 Fall is finally here in it's honor I did this outfit inspiration. This outfit is perfect for the fall. One of the first things that is a fall statement is not really a clothing item but Starbucks goes with every outfit and you know is fall when Starbucks brings back their pumpkin lattes, which I try not to drink multiple times a day because I am a bit addicted.

Every girl should own a pair of Corduroy pants. They are great for the fall plus they are pretty cozy. I love how you can pair it up with any kind of shoes. I ordered a pair from Gap and I can't wait until they arrive. I love sweaters. But I love them even more when they have a classic look. I am drooling over this J.Crew Sweater. What I love about it is the two leather pockets in the front. It is stylish, fashionable and warm. 

Another must for the fall are a pair of Booties. They are great to pair them with dresses, leggings, denims and cords. Plus I love the way they look on your feet and again super comfortable.  

And the last piece is a statement bag. I recently purchased this Phillip Lim for Target Pashli tote, which I am obsessed with, I can't put it down everywhere I go I carry it with me. It will be my fall bag. But If you cannot find it at your nearest target this Tote from Madewell it the perfect leather bag for the fall.

The Good thing about this outfit is that is versatile and you can switch it up with different clothing items. Enjoy this fall!

Pointy Toe Shoes Under 100 !

Hello ladies ! sorry I have been lost for a couple of days I have been dealing with chronic migraine and it gets the best of me. Today I woke up feeling less dizzy so i decided to talk about one of my favorite kind of shoes for this fall.

 I have a love and hate relationship with pointy toe shoes, well my toes do. I have wide feet and most of the time that I am looking to buy pointy shoes I have problems,  either I have to go a size up or they don't fit well at all. But I do love me some pointy toe shoes.

I remember  the last time wore pointy shoes was for my 8th grade prom. Which that was eight years ago !!! Yes I guess I avoided buying it.  I really love the trend and I am happy that is back for the fall. or at least that I am back at wearing it.

 Ive gather a couple of pointy shoes under 100. They are stylish and not breaking the bank account. They are from Gap, Zara and Urban Outfitters. You can find them down below.

Baseball Cap Outfit Inspiration

 Lately I have been seeing many people with baseball caps not only the ordinary team caps but fashionable ones. J.crew has come out with a cap collection for the fall. Which at the beginning I was not that sure about it. First because I never really wear caps and second because I always use floppy fedora hats in the fall. But I have fallen for them. And I can't wait to wear mine. It is one of the coolest trend of the season.

I decided to do an Outfit Inspiration to demonstrate how you can pair the cap on an everyday basis. I think you are giving an extra fun touch to your outfit. It is perfect. I ordered my cap and i can't wait to pair it up with a couple outfit that i have in mind. So if you are like me and think that you might not like the cap trend try it out you never know. 

Have Fun !

MY Everyday Makeup Storage and Bath & Body Works Haul

 

 

Hello Ladies this week I decided to share with you one part of my makeup collection. This is how I organize my everyday makeup. It is much easier for me also if i buy something new i usually leave it outside that way i won't forget. As you can see i have some of my eye and lip pencils on a bath and body works candle jar. I think it is great way to organize your makeup and also you can re use your candle jars so that is a double win. 

On the right I I have an Anthropologie monogrammed mug filled up with the brushes that I have used during the week. I usually take those dirty brushes and wash them on the weekend. The lipstick holder which I got 3 years ago at the container store I keep my favorite lipsticks that I am going to use or have used during the past week.

I also did a bit of damage during labor day sales.  I ordered some of my favorite fall candles they were 2 for 22 so i had to whoop up a couple for the house. I already started burning Pumpkin cupcake and my house smells delicious and like Fall. As you can see I also ordered one of my favorite body wash which it smells like heaven and it's great for those long stressful nights and my favorite Bath and Body Works lotion which is soft, calming and rich in vitamin E.

My Fall Wish List

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.

XOXO Andrea

Back To School Favorites : College Edition

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. :)

Review On L'oreal Paris Ombre kit

 

Wild Ombre 

 

Flash On

 

Flash Off 

Hello everybody. I know I have been a bit distant this week but I have been running around going to different interviews. Hopefully I get a call back, fingers crossed. Anyways I had  my eye on the Ombre look for a long time I had seen many celebrities with this type of hairstyle. I decided after months of trying to decide if i would get it or not. To go to  my local drugstore and buy the L'oreal Paris Ombre Kit. It's price is around 13 dollars. which is way cheaper then getting it done at the hair salon, that was a big plus for me.

  On Friday night while watching mean girls I decided to try it. Imagine me sipping wine with the gloves on. Here is the thing I have never dyed my hair by myself and the last time I decided i wanted to color my hair was when I was 15 years old. I wanted highlights, I basically had to beg my mom to get streaks in my hair. All I had now was my natural hair color. So i was scared that my hair wouldn't take the color.

I followed all the instructions which they are pretty easy. I parted my hair and started dying my hair using the brush it brings. Which it's great because you can do a subtle look or go all the way. I waited for 25 minutes as it says and checked it then I waited for another 5 minutes and washed it off with the conditioning shampoo that it brings. I was a bit scared after washing it off, but when I blow dried and  flat iron my hair I was happy with my new look. My friends couldn't believe i did it on my own. I am happy with the results and with this kit. Is affordable and it leaves you with a new look.

Pardon the pictures I was so happy that I took them really fast.

Soooo if you want that Ombre effect for this fall go for it. It is stylish and affordable.

The Perfect Day to Night Outfit

top /  skirt / ballet flats /nude heel  / tote bag / purse / watch / jewelry / lipstick

As I have said a million times before that I love to shop for outfits that can have different outcomes from casual to chic or even the perfect after work night outfit. I am a big fan of J.Crew I love everything and one of the things that I love is their skirts. Especially this skirt and since I am in love with prints I think this is the perfect skirt for work or  for a night outfit. It has a great balance and the print on it is just perfect. 

I have created this look for the typical young woman that is fashionable yet works in the corporate world or something similar or that simply loves to wear print skirts. On the left you can see I have added black flats, an over sized watch and a great bag big enough to fit all of her stuff. ( my kind of bag) You can also include a cardigan for the chilly days at the office like this one from J Crew.

On the right I added a bib necklace. It  is a great statement piece, it gives the outfit a touch of glam. A black clutch of course by Clare Vivier, nude pair of heels and a bold lipstick. 

I think this outfit is versatile and great for day and night. Good for the office at day or wine time with friends or the boyfriend. What you Gals think ? leave a comment

Sexy Girls Night Out Outfit

 shirt /  jeans / shoes / purse /  bangle

Happy Friday Ladies ! This week for my Inspiration board I decided to do a "sexy" outfit . Well my twist to a casual night. Boyfriend jeans are great all year round you can dress them up or down, and that is my motto when I am shopping. I like to search for clothing pieces that i can wear on a casual day or on a dress up day. I love leopard print I think it's sexy and it gives a lot of character to your outfit. I mean I am sucker for animal print it is just gorgeous. I think this outfit is great to go out with your girlie's on a girls night out or date night. It's casual, fun, sexy and great to spend a great night full of laughter. One of my favorite pieces in this outfit is the silk Tibi top. it has a touch of elegance yet it still fun. If you like to show you back a bit this is the perfect one to wear. So get ready to rock the streets. Great for this weekend. Enjoy your last couple of weeks left of the summer.

BTW the Mac lipstick is Ruby woo
