Winter Minimalist Look

 tee /  coat/  denim jeans / Converse /  tote / Watch /  jewelry / bracelet /  sunglasses

I am glad to announce that in a couple of days i will be back in my favorite city, New York. I am over joyed to be back with my family for a couple of week and Friends, Also .....  i will finally will be able to wear my favorite winter pieces. I really like layering and adding different scarves to my winter coat. 

As most of you ladies know i am all about simplicity and that is what the Minimalist trend is all about. I am all about, clean, comfortable, neutral colors. I am always wearing my slouchy pants with a plain tee. I like to add a couple touches but other than that I am always very traditional. 

This look is all about being minimal and not over layering. Is about being comfortable, fashionable and stylish. If you notice i added a couple black accessories to spice up the outfit due to that the clothing is very light. I am in love with this coat is just gorgeous and literally it goes with everything !  And one last thing that i had to add was the watch is manly but it just adds that extra minimalist touch to the outfit. 

What you ladies think of this ? would you rock this outfit? Leave your comment on the bottom.

Thanksgiving Outfit Inspiration

sweater,  / skirt /  boots,  /  tote / earrings /  lipstick /  eye liner /  perfume

Hi Ladies I know it's been so long. I apologize but grad school work had me super busy. I really missed blogging but now that vacation is coming up i will have more time to blog. I am so happy tomorrow i will be will be in NYC  with my family for Thanksgiving ! 

I am just so happy to be heading to New York For a couple of days. Have been missing home so much and my family. It's been so long since i have made an outfit inspiration that i decided to do one for Thanksgiving. 

Thanksgiving for me is all about spending time with my family and eating our traditional supper. I love to dress up for thanksgiving and look my best my family and i take so many pictures that i don't want to go back years later and say yikes i just looked terrible. 

I have prepared for us ladies this simple, girly outfit it's great if you are living in a place where it's cold weather such as New York. I am actually missing fall in NY. Miami is gorgeous but definitely not the same. 

This outfit is all about comfort, and also very clean. It's not over powering. the Sweater is gorgeous it already has enough bling i don't think you will need more other than a pair of simple earrings such as these. I had to add the cranberry lipstick and simple eyeliner it's all about bold lips and simple outfit. These boots are so sexy they are definitely a must for this fall and Winter. 

I hope you have the best Thanksgiving. Count your blessings and be thankful for what you have.

Miami Outfit Inspiration

Dress / Sandals,  /  Cross body /  Jewelry /  Hat /  Eye wear / Bronzer

Hi Beautiful Ladies. Last time I post on my blog I was headed to Dominican Republic to spent the best two weeks of my life before heading to my new city Miami. Vacation was great. Had an amazing time with my family. I got back to NY for a couple of days and then i was back on a plane heading to Miami. I officially have a week in Miami. So far it has been treating me great. I am currently getting my masters and professor are also great. 

Now Since you guys know i am from New York we have all types of weather and I am not use to living in a state where it doesn't snows or gets chilly. As of now I am still wearing my summer clothes and i will be transitioning slowly to fall according to the weather. So far i am loving wearing hats, espadrilles, bright lipsticks and panama hats. That is why i decided to Make a Miami outfit Inspiration. I have notice that people in Miami are extroverted they just love wearing colors and fun jewelry. 

This outfit is about being casual, fashionable and fun. Is great if you are going to have brunch with friends drinks. But it is also great for everyday or a pool party. You can just have your bathing suit under. I added a great bronzer and highlighter because i think with this dress. I would keep very sculpted cheeks and add that natural glow. I mean you are in Miami after all right. 

I hope you all enjoy my inspiration post. If you are not in Miami. This outfit is great for your next destination in the Caribbean. 

XOXO

Hello Ladies ! a lot of change has been going on lately. Pardon not posting anything for a long time. Many changes have been going on lately and one of them is Moving to Miami In a couple of weeks. Yup just like you heard. I have been planing my trip for over a year deciding weather to leave NY or Stay i decided to leave. Want to try new adventures and one of them is living on my own. 

Another change is that i open a Blog in Spanish as many as you know i am Latina and thanks to my parents i can read and write in Spanish. One night i decided  i want to write to Latina women from all over the world. 

And third is VACATION !! Finally ! i really need vacation. I will be going for two weeks to Dominican Republic where i cannot wait to soak in the water and drink Piña Coladas my favorite. And.... Since i will be traveling i decided to write a post on some of the clothing and accessories i will be taking with me. I want to travel as light as i can. Due to than once i come back i will only be in NY for 2 days and will then leave to Miami. 

I want to enjoy the fullest and relax with my family. I want to let my hair air dry and forget about straightening. I want to enjoy those two weeks and soak my feet on the warm sun touch by the sun. I want to feel airy and not worried one bit of New York and my first Semester of Grad School. 

And Guess what ladies that's what i will try my best to do. I will be packing my favorite. Shorts, cotton tee bought from stores such as H&M and Target, a nice flowy dress to dance at night, a pair of sneakers to travel comfortable, a piece a jewelry that goes with everything. The IT Sandals of the moment GLADIATOR Sandals and a one piece swimsuit which i think is so back this summer. 

I also got a large tote bag. The good thing about this bag is that is reversible. Which it equals to two bags ! great for the beach and Travel and guess what it's under $50 Dollars. I am obsessed over this leather bag. 

I will post as much as i can in Miami ! cannot wait for this new adventure but for now keep them Piña Coladas coming !

XOXO Andrea

Easy, Comfortable Summer Outfit

 shirt  / shorts / sandals / purse / necklace /  cosmetic / hair styling tool

While laying in bed recuperating from a pretty bad stomach virus over the weekend the only thing that came to my head was July. Which is almost here. 

Now i know Summer has arrived already but this stomach virus had me 4 days in bed except the day i had to rush to the emergency room because i could not tolerate my abdominal pain. Lasted a couple hours in the emergency room was diagnosed with a stomach virus no new news of course.

 I was very dehydrated. The nurse got an IV in my veins for medicine and a couple hours later i was back to my bed still dehydrated and feeling like crap. 

Two days has passed by and I am feeling much better. Finally had solid food and did not puke. I am feeling more like myself and more energized. 

Thinking of July, Inspired me on making this outfit inspiration. Summer can get pretty humid especially in this City. That is why i always opt for shorts and a cotton tee. I really like buying as much tee's as i can. They are super cheap you can find them at Target or H&M. 

I also added a pair of gladiator sandals because they are so in. I really wanted these by the brand Schutz . But they are out of my price range. I found these and my they are adorable under 50 bucks and by the brand of TopShop. Major score !

I wanted to pair this outfit with a not too big side bag. I found this one by Rebecca Minkoff and the color is just on point. 

The other accessories are the gorgeous pair of Prada Sunnies, and the new exclusive lipstick color that Estee Lauder Launched exclusive by Kendall Jenner. Is the perfect Matte Red lipstick is not too dark or bright. Is just perfect. 

With this look i suggest a high pony tail or natural waves and this Bumble and Bumble Infusion is just great. I bought it a couple months ago and it's lovely. 

And last you cannot leave your house without putting on your favorite fragrance. My friend got the beach by Bobbi Brown about a month ago and i seriously wanted to take it from her. Is a Must !

Enjoy your Week !

XOXO

Fathers Day !

 Sneakers / Starter Kit /  Shirt /  Sunglasses / Brew  / Apple Watch Sport

Are you ready? have you bought your husband or Dad his gift already? Totally forgot about it, is okay. Take a deep breath and quickly check what i have here for you. Simple but amazing gifts you can give to that great PAPA of yours or hubby. 

Most dads don't know what they want on fathers day. Sometimes you have to take long guesses and ask tons of questions. example my mom and i would ask my dad what do you want for fathers day Andrew? he would always say anything or nothing. We would roll our eyes and say common just mention something you like or want. My father worked super hard to give my mom and i always the best. He never asked for anything and was always grateful of what he would get. 

We know he loved plaid shirts, watches and fedoras. He also loved my mothers favorite stew.  My mom and I got him one year a great pair of slippers not any but Uggs a bit pricy but we know he really kept looking at them when he would take us shopping.  my mom would make his favorite stew, get him comfy all day and watch his favorite sport and spent time with us. He would always have a smile on his face. 

Unfortunately he is not with us anymore. But.... There is no remorse waht so ever that we always tried to always not only on fathers day for him to be happy. Dads are suppose to be there for their family no matter what. Hard working souls that help raise a family and try their best to be a great head of the family. My DAD was all of that and much more. 

On this Fathers day try to make his day it doesn't have to be with expensive gift. It can be a beer garden reservation, or a picnic with family or even much better a BBQ.  I added these gifts to give you an idea what you can give him. If he is in to technology you can give him the new apple watch or a great pair of sneaker for his relaxing weekends. If he likes beer you can give him a beer kit super inexpensive and he can make craft beer with his own hand. You get the idea. I hope all you spent a great day. 

Happy Fathers Day to all dads !

Top Five Trends For This Summer !

Hola!! It's been a long time without blogging. Trust me i missed it a lot and i apologize for being away for so long. But.... As many of you may know i am in the process of attending graduate school and my mind has been only on that. But I am back and ready to talk about my top favorite trends that you will need this Summer.

The First trend is Round Sunnies ! Transport yourself to the 70's.

Favorite Beauty Products Of The Moment

cleanser / Moisturizer  / lip balm / Mask / Sunscreen / Coconut Oil / Toner

Lately It has been feeling more like Summer than Spring. It has been super sunny and hot. The past two weeks have been super stressful due to  studying intensely for my Grad school Exam. I took the exam this Saturday i hope everything goes well. Now i can finally calm and pamper my skin. I have combinations skin but this winter left my skin very bad with a couple dry patches and dryness. On some days i would only used my every day cleanser Cetaphil and moisturizer with SPF and maybe when i had chance a mask. 

My plan for the next couple of weeks is to go back to my everyday routine. Sunday was all about relaxing and my skin. Not only face but all over. But since this post is only about face products i will try to keep it as short as i can. 

Due to my highly sensitive skin I have adapted my skin to a regimen where i don't use too many products especially products that i know won't irritate my skin. On this post you are going to see everything except an under eye cream. Just bought a new eye cream and want to try it for a week or so before i share with you my thoughts. 

I started using not long ago Clinique moisturizing gel due to that one of the girls from Sephora told me that gel penetrates to your skin while the lotion stays in the surface. I really love how the moisturizer glides softly around my face. 

Another favorite product of mine is the Origins Charcoal Mask. This mask is amazing not only are my pores less visible after i apply this on my skin but i feel my face brighter. It doesn't leave my surface oily and it's full of goodness. It has been one of the best investment. 

And my last favorite product is Coconut oil the holy grail !!! I mean DUH is COCONUT OIL . Have been using it for years. I can go on with a list of how i apply it or use it but this time i will give you an easy recipe. You will need 1/2 cup of coconut oil and 1/4 of a cup of Brown Sugar I buy organic.  

Take your stand mixer and mix it for 5 minutes. It will be the softest scrub on earth. I apply it once a week to my face and lips. I try to get all that dead skin from my face and boy does it work. It makes my face feel brand new i am telling you ladies is a must. You can also apply this all over your body before bathing.

Hello Chicas ! Guess what? we are a few days away from Mother's day. The most special day on earth! I don't know for you ladies but everyday is a blessing waking up and watching my mother smile, laugh, have coffee and simply have my best friend next to me.

 I thought to myself let me share with you ladies what i would give my mom on her day. My mom is the most simple lady in this world. She is not picky at all. She is all about comfort, tradition, nature and neutrals. 

On this inspiration post i kept it simple. I added a fun orange tote bag with long handles perfect for everyday and traveling. The most comfortable sandals on earth, a nice perfume of course Tory Burch it smells divine. 

I also added a watch this Kate Spade watch gives your outfit a touch of glam. I had to add a home plant. My mother and I are in love with plants and Flowers. And to tell you the truth who doesn't want a home plant? Could not leave the Mothers Day Card don't forget to add some nice words and for last a coffee maker with a fun mug. Coffee is perfect for bonding time if not coffee, tea is perfect. 

I hope all mothers spend a great weekend. And to all daughters and sons including myself don't forget to make her day.

Spring Outfit Inspiration

 jacket / Top /  jeans /  shoes /  purse /  pendant /earrings /  glasses /  lipstick /  nail polish

Spring is back which means it's time to pull out those white jeans from your closet. I have to admit my weekend was full of Fun. Went to a family Hawaiian theme party. Natural Curly hair was out, flower on my hair, Lei Garland on neck and Oh before i forget  my all time favorite White Denims. I just had to wear them. White Jeans are everything seriously they go with any top and you can dress them up or down. 

I said to myself let me give the ladies an outfit inspiration, nothing too hard and nothing over whelming. These white pants are a bit distress which it gives it a casual look. Had to add the nude Mules and the Green army jacket. This Outfit screams Spring. Is fun, cute, girly, effortless and simple. 

What more can you ask for?. I added a bright nail polish, lipstick and only a pair of small earrings. I didn't want the jewelry to opaque the entire outfit. 

Sooo What are you waiting for hop on the White Denims bandwagon.

XOXO

Welcome Spring To your Home......

Happy Friday !! Although It has been a bit chilly in NY it finally feels like Spring. The sun is shining more than ever and i can hear the music of the ice cream truck. Now, inside my home it doesn't feel like Spring. We put our Christmas decorations almost 3 months ago and it has looked pretty plain.

 I said to myself it cannot only be my apartment or home looking like this maybe together with other gals we can spruce up our apartment and make it feel like Spring. These are my five tips on making your home feel like Spring

Flowers are a great and affordable way to spritz up your home. I think Tulips are great for spring not only they come out in the Spring but also they are beautiful. They are simply beautiful. I suggest buying enough to place around your home. If you don't have mason jars you can purchase them at the dollar store and place one or two tulips on a mason jar and place it on your bathroom sink, another in your dresser and the main one in the dining table. I am sure your home will smell and look lovely.

 I bought these about a week ago and they got prettier each day. This was on their third day. BTW they only cost 10 dollars.

Trending Sensations

Hi Ya'll It's finally Spring. Although it may not seem due to that we had Snow in New York on the first day of Spring. I was really bummed about that due that i had to wear my bean boots when i wanted to wear my floral and colorful clothing. But let's leave that on the side and Congratulations to the people that live where is actually Spring.

Lately I have seen a couple of trends that i keep spying while i roam my city, New York. Either at the train station or while running from one place to another. So here i go! let me know what you think of these and if you would actually try to hop on the trend or will let it pass by.

The Famous Man Bun, not only hipsters are rocking this trend but also male celebrities such as Bradley cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal , Harry Styles and many more. I never thought i would say this but i find this kind of hot and sexy. There is something about the man bun some are messy others are perfect like the one this guy is rocking. What you think ladies Yay or Nay?

Happy Valentines Day !  This year is very special for me. As a super fan of Fifty Shades of Grey I have been waiting to watch the movie for a year now.

For Valentines day I will be attending with my best friend to the movies. We have been counting the days and hours and bought our movie tickets days ago. I decided to make an outfit inspiration for the fellow Fifty Shades of Grey Fans that are also excited to see this movie.

Currently Coveting

Hi Ladies. It has been a long time before I have post items that I have been Coveting or Craving lately, how ever you wish to say. As Ladies we are always on the hunt of new items or at

least window shopping and searching the internet to see which item will be part of your closet.  Well Since I have a couple of days that i just have been home and getting rest i have searching a couple online stores and It came down to these items.

Winter Essentials....

 coat /  jacket /  pants / socks / boots / glove /  beanie / scarf 

Hi Ladies I hope you gals are staying warm and cozy. These past days it has been freezing in New York City. I have so many layers that sometimes I don't even know where to start when i get home. A couple days ago while i was washing my hands  i notice  that some of my fingers were cracked and dry i literally said o no i need extra hand cream. It's my fault due to that I thought i had lost my gloves and was in denial of buying a pair. Thank God i found them. It's the pair i have in this inspiration you can find them at Target. 

I feel like Winter is all about the Puffer coat that will protect you of anything.  I decided to make this inspiration post well because basically this is all i am wearing everyday. Literally ! Thank God for UGGS !  I usually wear thermal leggings everyday and if i wear jeans or dressy pants i make sure to have my leggings under. This outfit will keep you warm and protected in this very cold winter. 

I almost forgot to mention the Patagonia winter Jacket. It is one of my favorite accessories on this inspiration. I remember my parents gave me this jacket when i was a Junior in High School and still till this day it is one of my favorite pieces i always enjoy using it and it its very cozy and warm. This is a must especially if you are in college running around the Campus trying to get from one place to the other.

Remember ladies to always wear your warm socks and gloves ! you don't want to get extra dry skin. 

XOXO

Marsala Color Of The Year

Happy 2015 ! It is finally here. Cannot be more thankful with God for the year 2014 and i am excited for what 2015 has prepared for me. A couple weeks ago Pantone announced Marsala Color of the year 2015.

 Leatrice Eiseman Executive Director of Pantone said Marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability. Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in
to its embrace

This color is beautiful it goes with any color skin and it attracts many eyes. I can't wait to get a couple accessories.  I really want to try the Pantone Marsala Lipstick. You can purchase it at any Sephora store.
