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 !

Spring Finally Arrived !

                                                               shirt /  shoes /  handbag, / glasses

Spring Is here ! Today is the first day of Spring. I am so excited, although i do enjoy the Winter and its nice snowy days full of Hot coco and warm fuzzy socks i am so over it. I want my mani and pedi weekends with my friends and i am so ready to let my toes breath some fresh air. I love my Bean boots but their comes a point where you want to stop wearing them. So hasta luego my dear Winter.

I predict that this Spring is going to be full of different tones of the color blue. Have you notice all the sunglasses with the blue shades they are so in. In honor of first day of Spring i decided to make an inspirational outfit. I know i had a long time of not sharing one with you. This outfit is perfect for the girl that enjoys Spring, loves to dress classic traditional but spices up the outfit with a mega cool bag such as this mini phillip lim or the JCrew grey tone  heel sandals. These are perfect for the girl that cant wait to show her toes this Spring and of course she is a mega fashionista yet has her own style.

I really love this outfit i think this light blue is beautiful and a great introduction to Spring all pieces compliment each other none of them over power any item. Lets talk about the Tory Burch Sunnies they are so hot, love the two colors. These are a must !

Lets see how New York City takes Spring this 2014. Although today is the first day. I want to see fresh flowers blooming at my moms balcony and the smell of fresh produce at the Union Square market every saturday morning. Soon i will be posting my Spring musthaves. Stay Tune

The Perfect Way To Use White During The Fall

 sweater /  coat / skinny jeans /  handbag

Last week I posted an outfit of the day on my Instagram. I had a pair of white straight denims, a camel peacoat and a pair of leopard flats. Some people don't use white after labor day you know the fashion rule. But why not use white when it is a universal color and it's chic. I love how a pair of white jeans look on me so I decided to break the "rule" and rock my pair of white pants.

 Here i have a very similar outfit to the one i wore last week. I do love fashion but I don't think you have to follow all the trends that are going on . You can make your own trend by being unique. I think this is the perfect way to wear white in the fall. With the perfect camel coat and leopard flats it will give you that fall touch that you wont get during summer or spring. Don't be scared of using white in the fall if you like to wear white go a head give it a try i know it will be one of your favorite outfits.

Fall Affordable Work Outfit

sweater /  skirt / Leopard Flats / jewelry

Hi Y'all Happy Monday !! I am the kind of the person that likes to dress comfortable, yet well put together. It is important to dress very well at your job. 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.

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.

June has finally arrived that means hot summer days and many iced coffees. Yep I am addicted to ice coffee. As a New Yorker I know summer gets pretty bad . I try to use as much as possible cotton clothes or light clothing pieces and very minimal with my accessories. I want to be comfortable and not feel like i have too much on.  This is my typical outfit on a hot summer day. Its chic and casual.

So.... what it your typical summer outfit ?

Fashionable and Beauty Obsessions Of This Month

nude sandals /Leather bag / necklace / linen scarf /  fragrance / nail polish

I have gathered a couple of  fashion and Beauty obsessions that I have been stalking this month. As you can see mostly pastel, nude and bright colors. which are  great for spring. I went last week to Sephora I needed to purchase a couple of beauty products. When I went in the store  It smelled delicious I asked one of the girls that worked in the fragrance department and she said it was this Tom Ford perfume. I have to say that it transported me to the french riviera. It smells great clean and fresh and I WANT IT ! Have a nice weekend beautiful ladies

Polka Dot Affair.....

                                shirt /  sweater / denims/ flats /IPhone case/ scarves/ Cambridge Satchel

 I am having an affair with polka dots. I don't know about you but I am loving the polka dots trend.  It is everywhere in Shoes, bags, blouses and even phone cases. This trend makes your outfit more fun and it gives a touch of elegance. I don't know but I feel that the outfit becomes more fun and its something that catches anyone attention. If you are not a person that likes to wear print i think polka dot is versatile and can give a change on your everyday outfit. the thing about it, is that everyone can wear polka dots i feel this is a print that is easy to wear . I think is great if you want to spice up your outfit for work you can wear a nice  button down blouse like the one i have on my inspiration board with a pair of trousers or pencil skirt.  I made and inspiration board for you to can get inspired and create ideas with different fashionable pieces. I made it  based on some pieces that I am currently loving and that currently are part of the this winter and spring 2013 trend. So get in the moment and live the POLKA DOTS trend.

 

 This is a picture of my pokla dot shirt with a J crew necklace.
