Going Floral

2013-02-24T20:41:00.000-06:00

Floral prints were very popular down on the 70’s, then the 90’s brought them back and nowadays, is our time to make them work.

Designers such as Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Diane Von Furstenberg, Peter Som, Rodarte among others,showed up on runway last spring their own inspirations on floral fantasy, from the necklace, to the sweater, to the dress and to the shoes.

Although, this garden look might result a little bit difficult to wear for some petites, because they would be out of proportion. However, petites shouldn’t give up easily on the floral trend, since there are some designs such as the pencil skirt that would fit perfectly to short women,just don’t forget to wear those high heels. Also, keep in mind the accessories, which make a huge difference to the outfit, and why not wearing flowers on your neck or ears?

High Wasted Vintage Shorts

2012-08-12T14:21:00.000-06:00

The high waisted shorts are back! However, with a twist. Teens and young adults wear the high waisted shorts by adding studs, bleaching them, adding the american flag, even adding lacing to the shorts, and many more different creative ideas.

So go ahead, dig up your parent's old jeans and cut them into shorts and put a little dash of creativity, to achieve this trend. Some even bleach the shorts and tie dye them. They would half bleach the shorts to give the shorts more of a contrast and when tie dying the shorts, some do rainbow style or even just two colors. Others add flower fabrics to the shorts to give it that classiness, and some even paint animal print to give the shorts a bold look.

Longer Luxurious Lenghts

2012-05-01T15:51:00.001-06:00

Long skirts are almost always part of fashion trends year after year. Women’s long skirts are one of my favorite fashion trends either during summer or winter.There are many ways to wear these also they are a sophisticated and refreshing alternative to the tights and minis combo and can be worn both casually or ultra-glamorous. You could go the hippie way or you could even go the business/casual way.

Most favorite long skirt design is the maxi skirt. A maxi skirt is usually defined as a casual lower garment that covers the whole legs and extends to the ankles or longer. It can be made of many fabrics such as chiffon, cotton, linen, jersey, crepe and even wool during winter season.

2012-03-07T22:07:00.001-06:00

In summer, fashion takes center stage. Bathing suits, shorts and all the accessories of summer outfits jump to the catwalk. And for the second time in Honduras, specifically in San Pedro Sula, will take place the Summer Fashion Week Honduras 2012. There will be two intense days of pure fashion, where the country's most renowned designers will present their proposals for this season.

The Fishtail Braid!

2011-12-12T20:26:00.001-06:00

The hardest thing about doing a fishtail braid on yourself is getting it started. Here’s a secret trick, start with a clear elastic then cut it out at the end. By starting with a clear elastic at the top, you never have to worry about holding 4 confusing pieces together to get your braid going. You can just go straight into it!

• Divide the hair you want to braid into two equal sections.

• Start a fishtail braid by holding the right section with your right hand. Then, using your left hand, pick up a one-eighth-inch chunk of hair from the outside of the left section and cross it over to the inside of the right section.

 
• Repeat on the other side: Hold the left section in your left hand. Use your right hand to pick up a one-eighth-inch chunk of hair from the outer right section and cross it over to the inside of the left section.

• Continue picking up small sections and crossing them over until you reach the ends of your hair.
 
• Secure with an elastic.

Baggy is IN!!

2011-10-09T22:49:00.000-06:00

T-Shirts give off strong representations of the type of people we are and the way we want ourselves to be perceived. I remember when I was at college, I used to wear my brother’s shirts just because they are so comfy and they are really big, but they look cool. I’ve always preferred baggy clothes, I guess it’s just my style, and now it’s a trend to go baggy. The baggy T-Shirt is usually worn by the majority of the population in a casual, dress down sense. Many people wear these kinds of T-Shirts when at home relaxing or even at the gym; they are not on the whole typically worn when going out to events such as clubs and bars. These kinds of clothes are worn casually and are not connected to showing off. Nowadays if you’re at a bar wearing a big blouse, means you’re totally in.

Many girls think “if you do the baggy T-shirt with shorts it will look to guyish, because the shirts so plain and oversized, and shorts would match better with a plain smaller T-shirt”. If you’re the type of girl who dresses by the way you feel, I will say go ahead and do the baggy, it’s all about being comfy and sure.

From Jeans...To Shorts...

2011-08-12T19:48:00.000-06:00

Making shorts out of jeans is easy, as long as you proceed carefully. If you just start cutting, you're likely to wind up with uneven legs and jagged hems or studs. Using a pair of your shorts to measure for your jean shorts ensures that both legs are the same length.

Not every pair of jeans makes great jean shorts. Selecting the right jeans, measuring properly and finishing the jeans to suit your style are all important. Check It Out.

Kilim is here!

2011-07-05T19:07:00.001-06:00

Im sure many have seen this type of tapestry everywhere, but many people still wonder its name.Kilim, are fabric colors that blend and usually are decorated with geometric figures. They can be purely decorative or can function as prayer rugs. Many people are now wearing kilim on their daily basis, whether in shoes, hats, bags, wallets, jeans, tennis, spadrillers etc....I personally have my own kilim bags, which were my moms long time ago.You must probably seen this trend on boho chics, which are more commonly to wear this type of tapestry.

So Far by the Sea...

2011-06-06T17:42:00.000-06:00

It’s been two months since I moved to Tela, so far so great!...Here’s a little bit of some things that I’ve been doing in this beautiful place,check it out J

It was my b'day days ago, and my friend bought this cute cake for me. I was really really happy because, most of the time I don't expect people presents or anything nice(just from my family), but I did have a great time, I even went to San Pedro to hang out with my friends from there(which I really miss a lot) but my favorite part was the cake and the nice birthday wishes I had from everybody,thank you very much.

I really love Sponge Bob(especially his square pants)

Sweet 22!!!!!

Days ago, I got off work, and went to the beach.I live like 50 steps away from the beach, the sun was perfectly smiling for pictures, so I had to take advantage of him...Dresses with open backs are my fav, you can wear them for both day and night, or for sunset in this case. The first thing that may come to mind for many people when they think of open back dresses is a night out, but as open back dresses are becoming more popular, designers are creating them for many more occasions nowadays.

This is my neighbor Andy,with his great star tattoos. The first time I met him, he didn't had that star on his neck neither on his shoulder, and like 4 weeks ago, all of a sudden one day he appeared on my apartment, with his groovy mood and a bit bleeding from his neck and I was like "Andy did you just get another star?"...and he suddenly responded "Hell yes!!!" I personally would never tattoo myself, I don't see myself with any paint in my body, but I do like how it looks on others body. Andy's going to tattoo himself again, I for sure will take pictures from his new tattoo!

I was opening the door to get in my apartment, when I found this little buddy in the doorknob. There are a lot of lizards here where I live. They are in my 10 favorite animals list.This was a baby one, and was really not scared of me at all, actually he posed for many pictures for me.

Old buildings are great for photoshoots, a live nearby one, and when I first moved here, everybody used to tell me creepy stories about it, and people used to asked me "Have you seen any ghosts yet?" and I was like "No,I haven't,but I wish". Im not really scared about ghosts or any paranormal activities, otherwise im excited about it and it's maybe because I haven't experienced anything like that, the day that I experience something, I will for sure blog about it.

So, my friend(which is really scared of ghost) and I went to "Club House" a.k.a "The Old Building" to take some pictures for Fashion Recipes. To tell you the truth I was very excited, just to be in a place where is haunted really caught my attention.Nothing happened,no one scared us,no ghosts,no creepy sounds,no nothing, just birds and squirrels,that was about it.Hope you like the pics!

It is always important to have navy accesories and clothes!

It's a crime not to wear sunglasses when your neighbor is the sea...

Ferris Wheel(Fun Ride)

2011-04-26T20:15:00.002-06:00

I just started my internship at this beach hotel call Telamar.It’s been three weeks since I move to Tela city, and I have to say it is a new whole different exciting experience.Also it’s going to be very difficult for me to post almost every week or every two weeks, because now I barely have time for myself,since I have to work every single day and it happens to be that my shifts change every three days, so I don’t have an established schedule like other people.So I apologize for that, but this is just life happening to me now haha.

To be honest,I haven’t had the time to go out and sneak around Tela,but days ago I went to this Playland Park, and it was really interesting what I found there,to tell you a secret, im such a coward for this kind of parks, I never ever ever take rides on them,because most of the time im scared or I just chickened out.One of my friends says that my perfect disaster date would be on one of those parks,and for sure she’s right!

I'll take you round round round...na na na...I remember U Aldo! :)

Mr. Junior!

Summer Fashion Week,Honduras 2011

2011-04-03T20:03:00.006-06:00

<Aldo Alonso Marcucci>

First edition of Summer Fashion Week Honduras 2011 began with a mix of contrasts and trends inspired by Latino women freshness. Warm colors, patterns and urban styles contrast boreal summer in San Pedro Sula Honduras with the proposals of sophistication of each single designer.

The end of SFW was on Friday night.It all started by acclaimed designer Aldo Alonso Marcucci’s runway,who had invited talented national singers Sherry & Sheyla,to open his runway with their new single “Fun Ride”. His amazing catwalk, inspired in a carousel, included nice garments in floral shades,fuchsia bathing suits,aqua dresses and vests,trendy shorts and skirts and of course white harem pants.

Glitter MUST haves!

2011-03-16T23:00:00.001-06:00

I remember whe I saw the first pair of glitter shoes, and it was on The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy appeared with those intense red glitter beautiful pair of shoes.Those were the first glitter shoes to be shown on TV I guess.

For many women these likely won't be for daily use,which I totally agree. Many people think you should only wear these shoes at night,and that is SO WRONG! 'cause I've wear mines even at school,and they look really fabulous.Many girls on the other hand already know any day is a good day for these shoes. This is likely due to the fact that unlike women, girls have the freedom to wear any style of shoe for nearly any occasion. It's not often will see a grown woman wearing sparkly TOMS to work.

I consider every girl should have at least one pair of glitter shoes,they're just FABULOUS!

Louboutins Oxfords

Louboutins incredible Pumps!

Strip Me

2011-03-05T21:49:00.001-06:00

(If you cannot watch this video here,just look for it on youtube,the song is called "Strip Me")

A really couple days ago, I was staying up very late (as usual) and so I was changing channels, and all of sudden this video was on MTV, and it really caught my eye,because it's been a while since we've heard from Natasha Bedingfield since her song "Unwritten"during "The Hills"theme song every week.What really caught my eye of course were all the amazing outfits.Seriously I can't stop listening to this song!!

This is my second fav outfit...loved the necklace <3 and the deep blue blazer.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE!

Harems!

2011-03-03T20:34:00.000-06:00

Originated in India, harems are baggy long pants apered at the ankle, with side flaps on the hip that button at the waist area.They were first made for belly dancers,because they define pretty well every woman’s silhouette. If you remember in the Disney movie “Aladdin” Jasmine wears a pair of blue harems. You’ve probably seen this type of pants also in Vanilla’s “Ice Ice Baby” video or in any other 80’s music videos.

They started to be a trend since Spring/Summer 09 and they are intended to be made more fashionable and less fabric requirement.

Oscar's 2011 BEST DRESSED!

2011-03-01T17:02:00.000-06:00

The biggest stars of the red carpet on Sunday night were not the stars
themselves, but their incredible gounds.There’s no excuse in the world to look terrible at Oscar’s night, I mean c’mon you have an entire year to prepare your special dress, so excuses leave them at home!

As usual, I didn’t saw the red carpet last Sunday; I told you before I’m not a red carpet lover(but as a blogger I have to do it), and actually I wasn’t going to post about this special red carpet. Until my friend Mary requested me to do it, and then the next day at school another friend asked me to post about it, and I was like, oh well, let’s do it!

I couldn't decide who was going to be te most shining star of the night, so I decided that Halle Berry and Hilary Swank,were the ones shining above all the other stars.

Hilary Swank in Gucci

Halle Berry in Marchesa

Camila Alvez in Kaufaman Franco

Rhea Durham in Naeem Khan

Amy Adams in L'Wren Scott

Anne Hathaway in Valentino

Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein. I personally didn't like this dress,but I really loveeed the texture and color, I would've prefered the top to be different,and maybe I would've liked it.

Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier(beautiful dress)

Melissa Leo in Marc Bouwer

Michelle Williams in Chanel(amazing!)

Mila Kunis in Elie Saab

Natalie Portman in Rodarte

Scarlett Johansson in Dolce & Gabbana

Marissa Tomei in Charles james

Grammys 2011

2011-02-15T21:42:00.000-06:00

The 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards took place in Los Angeles at Staples Center on Sunday, Feb. 13.The GRAMMY's are the only peer-presented award to honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position.

This year Aretha Franklin was remembered and honored by her amazing contribution to music.Many more artist were remembered that night also, suchs as Gregory Isaacs(Like his music a lot!).

To be honest I was expecting a bit more of glamour from all those musicians,I mean,c'mon Grammys are like The Oscar's for them,I would've care much more for my looks,but anyway...

Im not a red carpet lover, 'cause I consider all red carpets are boring(not all of them but most of them).I will have to say this year the guys look way better than the girls,I had more enjoyment watching them!

So I made my list, of the ones I considered were the best dressed of the night,

Heidi Klum,in Julien McDonald,this was for sure the most beautiful dress of that night

Eva Longoria,Ashi Dress

Elva, in C.D Greene,my second fav dress of the night,the back was amazing!

J. Lo in Pucci(there were a lot of Pucci designs @ the Grammys)

Ciara looking hot in a Pucci dress and Givenchy Shoes

Jennifer Hudson in Versace

Leann Rimes in Reem Acra

Miley Cyrus in Roberto Cavalli,I just loved that animal print

Nicole Kidman in Jean Paul Gaultier

Selena Gomez in J.Mendel

Going Boho...

2011-02-09T02:52:00.000-06:00

Comes from the old fashion called “Hippie Chic”, Boho style features a harmonious mix of hippies, grunge, folks, ethnic and vintage. Many people say it was invented to make thrift-store clothes “cool” or to make “retro” clothes “in” again, others just say it was invented by retailers in order to peddle their old styles, and reduce design cost.

There are many sayings about why it was invented, but who cares why?

Many celebrities like Sienna Miller (Queen of Boho),Mary-Kate Olsen,Mischa Barton,Vanessa Hudgens,Kate Moss and Nicole Richie have taken a fresh twist on the bohemian style with glam, glitter and rock!

Pieces needed to compose a Boho look: gowns, long skirts, floral prints, denim jackets, long dresses, fringed cowboy boots, suede, maxi bags, steering wheels, tie-dye prints, bat sleeve, long tees (shirts or long dresses), robes and many accessories.

Also Necklaces, sunglasses, hats, booties,sandals, scarves and belts are items that enhance the visual and increase the bohemian atmosphere. Natural fabrics, leather and suede pieces in earth tones and wood accessories.

Jean-Charles de Castelbajac (JC/DC)

2011-01-23T19:42:00.000-06:00

Since the age of 20, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac has designed original clothing that encourages an aesthetic way of life. Colorful and fun; his designs reflect a passion for art and nature.

He defies fashion standards with sportswear that does not forget a spirit of elegance: hijacking materials such as blankets, floor cloths, and ace bandages combined with basic colors or pursuing co-operative endeavours with artists to design his famed Painting-Dresses.

The designer also makes home furnishings, reviving traditional furnishings (such as the Chesterfield sofa and the Medaillon style chair) with the colors. A line of carpets, light fittings, porcelain and household linen also reflect the Castelbajac style.
As well as his imaginative clothing collections the designer creates home furnishings and has designed a watch inspired by the childhood favorite, Lego.

He has designed for:
-Lady Gaga
-Sarah Jessica Parker
-Charlie's Angels
-All the clothing for the Mass that Pope Jean Paul II and 5,500 clerics held on the occasion of World Youth Meeting in Paris 1997.

Say Hello to Emmanuelle Alt

2011-01-20T18:23:00.000-06:00

A month after Carine Roitfeld announced she would leave the editor in chief’s job at French Vogue, the magazine named Emmanuelle Alt to succeed her, starting Feb. 1.For the past ten years, Alt has worked under the current editor-in-chief, Carine Roitfeld, as the magazine's fashion director.

Emmanuelle is best known for her androgynous, rock-and-roll aesthetic – her biggest inspiration is the Saturday Night Fever era. Alt has not only styled some of French Vogue's most memorable editorials, but also ad campaigns and runway shows for Balmain, Giuseppe Zanotti, Balenciaga and Isabel Marant.

Here’s what she said:

“It is such an honor for me but also a great pleasure to land at the helm of Vogue Paris, a magazine which I know very well. By working with such talented teams, I can start to work on developing the incredible potential that Vogue Paris has."

Interesting Facts:

- Emmanuelle's husband, Franck Durand, is Marant's artistic director, and he is the one who hooked them up.

-She is the woman behind Michael Jackson's epic Balmain wardrobe. She is a huge fan, and sent him over samples to wear on what would've been his final tour.

I have to say,I really love her style, I can see myself wearing all her leather leggins and all her blazers and jackets.

Thumbs Up for Mrs.Alt!!!

Some of her work:

L.A.M.B Spring 2011

2011-01-04T15:43:00.006-06:00

Designers are already showing the world their new Spring collection 2011, and Gwen Stefani didn't stay behind with her fashion label.I took a sneak peak to her collection, I would personally say I was not amazed by her gounds and outfits,I consider them "Ok". I did found some really cool outfits,but that was it(nothing beyond cool).Although, It didn't amaze me,I have to say her collection was really cohesive.Obviously I couldn't keep her collection to myself so I want to share it with you. I picked the ones that I thought were the best and the ones that I would totally wear(like the dresses and cropped pants).

P.S

Im not trying to be hard on Gwen,it's just my personal opinion.

This dress is my favorite piece of the entire collection.

Love it!
