Overall I really enjoyed this year Met's fashion, first of all the theme was perfect the tricky name made some of the dresses really "thought looking" (Hey Beyoncé, JLo and Kim K) which was very fun to observe and there where some more traditional Chinese looks that I loved starting off with SJP very talked about it headpiece that in my humble opinion stole the show! And I need to make a special mention to Bee's dress that I completely adore it's such a nice and peaceful work of art to see with all the embroiled details.

I can't wait to see what's next for the Met 2016.

I know it's been a LONG time, almost 4 months and I really don't have an excuse rather than my camera was stolen in the summer (I got a new one in December), and hey I am now a University student and what else... hmm last weekend I went to Phoenix to "see" the Super Bowl and I said "see" because we actually didn't enter to the game we saw the game infant of the stadium in Glendale mall which was still very cool, and let me tell you that I actually saw the Katy Perry fireworks!

( I know this is a very "tourist" photo of me and my little sibling/monsters but I just really like it, here we where in Phoenix down town one day before the game)

Awareness

2014-10-04T18:46:00.000-07:00

There are quite a few of reasons why I love October and one of them is that it's the month of the Breast Cancer Awareness and since I am part of an awesome local charity foundation called "Mujeres que Viven" (Women that live), I can truly understand the struggle the thousands of women have to live with, and how if we do one's bits we can help a lot.

Don't forget to wear pink this month!

Elie Saab Ss 15

2014-09-30T22:53:00.002-07:00

Another Elie Saab show, another amazing show. Does it ever happen to you, than when you love so much something or someone, you just like everything they do?

Because I am about to get honest, this wasn't my favorite collection of PFW neither my favorite form Saab's collections, but I love it, I think is because the respect and admiration that I have for him and his designs that I always find my self impressed with his fashion shows, and If I have the pick my favorite gown from this season collection it would be the first pastel blue dress, I mean the color is lovely and it has Saab's emblematic beaded work.

What If?

2014-09-26T22:41:00.001-07:00

Today was an interesting day, it usually never rains in my city so we are definitely never prepare to a rainy day, but today it was an exception and it rained a lot, and I stayed at my house as the good 18 year old gal I am, during a friday night, but as I was in my room watching "Dr.House" season 1 and drinking a cup of tea ( I know, very exciting), I though what I would wear if I was actually living that rainy day. (I now it's missing the umbrella but I am pretty sure if I was outside my house I would be indoors somewhere else haha)

VERSACE

See the entire collection: HERE

Versace, Versace... One of my favorite Italian brands that truly embraces the essence of the Italian woman and I just think I love Donatella a little bit too much and this collection added a little bit more of love to my obsession with her and her clothes, I just love this minimalistic yet very graphic collection and the contrast between pink, white and black is just perfect!

MOSCHINO

See the entire collection: HERE

What I like the most about Moschino now is that you now that you're going to see something very unusual at every single runway and this time was not an exception. Jeremy Scott just transformed the catwalk into a magical barbie experience, I know it's a little bit cheesy but come on, REAL size Barbie clothes!

BLUMARINE

See the entire collection: HERE

If you now me or you have read my blog for a while you might now that I have an special relation with anything embroider over a transparency, and I don't usually reach for Blumarine when I want to watch Milan's fashion shows, but this time I just felt in love with this collection and I am definitely going to be checking more this brand, because right now I am hooked with the floral dress above this text.

London Street Style SS15

2014-09-17T16:57:00.003-07:00

Some people say that "street style" should have it owns runway, and I think it does and it is the biggest one and the one you actually don't need a pass to see it and it's the street, and also it has one platform a little bit bigger that it's the social media. I just love to see the outfits of the bloggers, editors, models and other amazing people that walk through the street during fashion week, and I have a special soft spot for London's streets I just love how polish everyone look there and come one who doesn't love the big red busses for background and the "English touch".

2014-09-10T21:14:00.000-07:00

After seeing this show I was like "Damn I wish this catwalk was before my prom", because I just love how refreshing these designs are, I still can take my eyes off the first dress white dress with the flowers at the bottom or the one with the peplum, I mean they look ultra sophisticated but fun and fresh at the same time and plus this was their 25 years Anniversary and what a better way of celebrating that with an unforgettable collection.

Aquazurra + Olivia Palermo

2014-08-31T19:43:00.003-07:00

If there is an "It" girl that pretty much every one loves her style is Olivia Palermo, I personaly love her always chic look and when I heard that she was going to design a shoe collection I was very excited to see the her chic vibe onto the line of shoes. And the collection didn't let me down every design resembles her style, my favorite is the one above this text, I just LOVE the crystal chain around the ankle.

Nasty Gal's Jeans

Lately I've been loving everything from the new collection of Nastygal! Maybe since de ultra popular book #Girl Boss came into this wonderful world, the hype of Nastygal is getting bigger and I think is totally worth it.

And one line that particularly caught my attention was the new line of denim, which not only it's super cool and edgy you can pretty much find a pair for almost every occasion, and the thing here is that sometimes with think that denim can be kind of boring or repetitive but there are so many ways to dress up or down denim , not to mention that they come in very different designs that can look amazing from a laid back school day or even a night out.

The Ugly Truth

2014-08-09T20:38:00.002-07:00

It's been almost two months since my last post here on my still existence blog, and the main reason that I stopped posting is that my camera was stolen while I was on vacations, it was pretty sad that moment and I really tried to think that a camera is only an object but my camera really meant a lot for me.

And the other of not so happy events happened this summer that made me unable to work on the blog, which it's disappointing since one of my main desires for the summer was to really improve my blog.

During these days I was thinking about not blogging anymore even when I have another camera, but that was giving up for something that happened that was out of my hands. I still love this and with or without camera I can continue doing this.

Putting all of that behind, I am a believer that for everything not so good in life, better things are going to come.

Chanel

Since the first time I watched an episode of gossip girl I have been a confessed fan of Blake Lively as an actress and a fashion muse.

One of my favorite red carpets of all time has to be Cannes film festival, because you can be able to see a couple of different looks instead of just one, and not only because of that, the taste of the designs is always a bit more "couture" than the usual.

And this last week, Blake has left me overwhelmed with her Cannes outfits, all of them are exquisite! And in my very personal pinion this has to be one of her best fashion moments ever!

Real Techniques New Core Collection

2014-05-14T23:59:00.001-07:00

I'm head over heels that I finally got these brushes, a lot of you have seen or have the "Core Collection" that normally it comes with 4 brushes, these 3 and a detail brush, but now the kit only comes with these ones and the prices is a little bit cheaper :)

I have these brushes for two weeks now and I can only say good thing about it, even for the mini foundation brush cause it seem to small for foundation and it actually it is, but I find it perfect to apply concealer to larger areas or when I don't feel like wearing foundation all over the face.

This brush kit is around the $15-$18, so it's a really nice price for such incredible brushes

Kayture Tips

2014-05-03T16:14:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone, sorry for the lacking of outfit post but I'm planning to upload one next week :)

Any way yesterday I watched an unhealthy amount of beauty and fashion youtube videos and I came across with this video of the Lovely Kristina Bazan from Kayture, I love how genuine the word of Kristina were and in the place that she is in the Fashion Blog world she knows about she is speaking.

The questions that are features are:

1. Tips and tricks to be fashionable with a low budget.

2. Lifestyle advice

3. How does it feel to meet some of the industry's biggest names and how did they inspire you?

4. Who are your style icons?

5. I would like to work in the fashion industry, what jobs could I look for?

And the answer that really impressed my was the number one because I don't know for you but for me Kristina is one of the blogger that has a really luxurious way of dressing and hearing from her some of her experiences with low budged fashion caught my attention.

And also her tips on working in the fashion industry are very handy to know.

Alexander Wang for H&M

2014-04-13T21:56:00.001-07:00

In my opinion everything that Wang does is extremely perfect and with the nicest taste, so I'm a declared fan of his work in his line as well as his latest work with Balenciaga.

Alexander announced that he is going to partnership with the fast fashion brand "H&M" being him the first American designer that the Sweden brand works with so that's a big statement.

If you want to know a little bit more about this collection you can check THIS link, where Wang answered some questions.
