OOTD: Minty Maxi

Happy Saturday beauties. I'm having breakfast with my love today we went to a Mexican restaurant and going shopping afterwards.

So happy to be in good company and the weather is breezy and warm just perfect. I decided to wear this lite thin and loose white top which had lace in the back side. I absolute love lace as you know. 

The second item is this jersey maxi skirt both items are from Fancy Steps boutique which I'm sure you all have heard about Candy's boutique. I  so comfortable and keeping nice and cool on this day with this look.

OOTD: Hot White Dress

Hello beautiful chicas now that the wedding craziness is over I wanted to share with you my outfit of the day for my engagement photos.

Spring season makes me so happy as the color pallet changes into uplifting shades that makes me smile. I love being outdoors these days and this day was no exception. I decided to go with white as it has not only been a huge trend this season but has always been a personal favorite of mine. This is a crochet type of texture which was very comfortable and the material felt as if I was wearing nothing. For shoes I paired it with the Fancy Steps nude Kim pumps which add a little bit of height but don't weigh you down or make you tired. The nude color and the clear sections make your legs appear longer which I definitely benefit from in that department.

I hope you enjoy this look and make sure to use a hot white dress this spring.

Spring 2013 Shopping Inspiration

As I run on my daily shopping trips and even when I am supposed to be on a break I always make sure there is time to browse. I think we can all agree that store displays are the best places for style inspiration. The retail designers always display multiple layers of clothing if it is a mannequin or several elements if it is a table scape where you just want to get your hands on every single item.

Whether or not you succumb to your evil shopping conscience is a gamble but one thing is for sure you are almost instantly inspired to get an item of that color or in that mood.

I have been browsing for the past week and could not help to clear mu mind of all these spring prints and bright colors that make me feel like taking a walk in a park that is filled with lots of colorful foliage and well manicured spring landscape.

Are you into spring colors yet? What is your fave spring shade?

OOTD: Winter Pastels

As it is still cold in my neck of the woods I dress in layers for this weather. This desert rat has a low tolerance for the cold I have found that out recently. It must be the fact that it is very warm for almost 90% of the year so I have never really thought about it.

However I cant help but browse through my Elle, Glamour, and InStyle subscriptions to become mesmerized by the beautiful pastels that are gracing the pages and editorial spreads.

This is a super casual outfit of the day look that is realistic of what I wear on any given day just add more layers at night I hope you like it.

OOTD: Floral Pastels

Hola chicas this little lady here is so stylish and she has made guest appearances on this blog before as you can see HERE my little sister Kenya.

She wears many different styles but here is a look she had on one day wearing the latest trend pastels and floral prints together. I think what I really like about Kenya's style is that she mixes different things like metals, colors, and textures. I hope you enjoy this look as much as I did photographing her and sharing her look with you.

OOTD Sporty Fedora

This is def a sporty look if you are walking around when you travel or exploring in your area. Here are some VERY random pictures of a trip to San Diego. There will be more but they are all scattered as all of us who went have different pictures.

OOTD: Mint Flowers

Holas chicas Spring is here and of course I had to whip out this dress that I had hauled a few months  ago. I featured it in one of my video hauls and just wore it this weekend to be en route on a trip for my hunny's birthday.

I got so many compliments on this dress. Some friends and I were walking in Downtown San Diego and we got stopped by this group of people who were on a scavenger hunt and they needed a picture with someone wearing BRIGHT clothes! I felt weird but I wanted to help them so I posed all funny like they did and they finally got their picture.

This was very comfortable and fitting and loose in all the right places.I also got my nails did and had not really tried any purples and I had to go to a different nail salon because it was very late in the evening. I picked a very  unconventional color that I hardly wear but I was happy with it and its only for a week and a half or so before I go back lol.

Apologies for these pictures I have not been using my DSLR camera very much its just so heavy to be carrying around sometimes. Do you all use your big cameras for all your posts or do you sometimes blog from your phones? I am just curious since it has been so much quicker for me but I know the picture quality may not be comparable.

I forgot the names of these polishes but this was the combo used by the manicurist.

IMATS 2011

Hola chicas sorry long time no posts but was having some issues with the media card and could not upload pics. Well enough of that I wanna share with you lovelies some of the loot from IMATS this past weekend.

Let me just start off  by saying what a great experience it was and most of all I am so glad to have had Candy from Curves Ahead Makeup blog as a host! Yes she is super nice and her blog is one of my faves but she is even sweeter in person. Once she picked me and my friend Patty from the airport we just started rambling on and on like old friends we totally clicked. Thank you Candy for spending so much time with us during our brief stay in Pasadena! I love blogging and this community as it has put me in the way of the sweetest, nicest, and most creative people I would have not met otherwise or crossed paths with alot of you have become part of my everyday life and so special to me as you all share some part of your lives with me.

IMATS was super packed and they had an astounding amount of makeup, hair, beauty, tools, you name it anything beauty related. They also had fashion shows, classes, and a monster makeup competition which really showcased the talents of the makeup artists as the monsters were indeed scary. I was in awe at all the setups of the booths and the merchandise that I probably did not buy as much as I could have but I did snap alot of pics. Plus there is always next year right girls?! Wink wink ; )
