Lady GAGA

2011-02-15T12:59:00.000-08:00

Did you see the Grammy s this year? I wasn't very impressed by Lady Gaga's performance outfit. Everyone was very excited to see what she will be wearing and it was like what .... So here's some pictures and you can decide if you like it or not. She is an amazing artist but I think last year was better about the crazy costumes.

Grammy Awards 2011

2011-02-13T09:32:00.000-08:00

Today we are going to see one of the best shows of the year The Grammy Awards. There will be so many beautiful outfits and not so much. Tomorrow I'll have some photos from the most extravagant to best dressed. I guess Lady Gaga will not let anyone top her with crazy outfit. I can't imagine what she will be wearing this year. Have fun today.

Zac Posen New York fashion week FALL 2011

2011-02-13T08:49:00.000-08:00

This couple of days I will post some photos of the designers in Fashion Week that I loved.
It' this time of the year when everyone that loves fashion is very excited about New York fashion week. I would love to be able to go one day, I guess some of you too. I loved Z Spoke by Zac Posen, for some of that don't know this designer he is very famous for his red carpet dresses but the collection Z Spoke is more affordable and last season was sold in Target. Beautiful pieces and details, clothing that we can afford compare to the most designer collections.
I would love to hear what you think about some of the pieces or else.

Eminem and Rihanna

2010-09-12T21:03:00.000-07:00

I loved their performance, we missed seeing Eminem this year but he has amazing songs and it's not very hard for him to be one of the best singers.

Lady Gaga doesn't leave without an award

2010-09-12T21:00:00.000-07:00

Yes she got award for Best Dance Video trophy "Bad Romance." Lady Gaga then took the VMA for Best Collaboration with Beyoncé-assisted for "Telephone."

I actually liked her dress this time, but she is an artist and needt to surprise the people otherwise it's not interesting.

VMA 2010

2010-09-12T20:46:00.000-07:00

Are yo ready for the MTV music awards? I think that show will be big, if Lady Gaga is somewhere it's always interesting and good. And let's not forget the big stars like Beyonce, Usher, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Eminem and many more. Later I'll post great and not so great outfits. And some of the winners.

Eyelashes for your car

2010-09-08T21:38:00.000-07:00

Today I was watching TV and I saw one thing that made me pay attention. OK it wasn't scary or bad news, it was funny. If you are obsessed with fake eyelashes there are great news for you, know you can add them to your car. I never seen it on the streets but sooner or later this will happen because lot's of women were very excited about it. I'm not sure if I'll do that. I hope someone doesn't come up with the idea of making a sunglasses for the car, anyway the people don't pay attention to the road anymore, what about if there are sunglasses on the windshield.

Make it yourself Fabric flowers

2010-09-02T13:43:00.001-07:00

I love this flowers and it's so easy to make them. I decided to show you in pictures how to do it yourself.

1. You need 2 pieces of fabric ( I prefer satin). The measurements can be different, I never cut the same pieces because I like different size. For the blue flower I cut 1 3 x 9 1/2 and 1 2 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches fabric.

2. Sew the right sides together, and after you are done turn each fabric inside out.

3. Now you need a needle and a tread, I got a white color only because it is easier for you to see what am I doing. Make it tight on the beginning and don't make a knot on the end becaus you will need to pull it in order to make the shape that we love.

On this photo you can see how it
looks after you pull the tread. After you do it secure it so it doesn't get loose. Repeat the same with the other fabric.

Now we have 2 flowers and they are so different, which is the best part.
4. You can sew them together or use a glue gun, your choice.
5. I prefer to glue something on the bottom because it looks better if you add a bobby pin or else it's easier to glue the element to the fabric and it's not a messy.
Hope you like it and if you have a question let me know.

Emmys Red Carpet

2010-08-30T08:35:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. Did you watch it? I did, and some of the dresses were amazing, but ton all of them. Here are some of my favorite and not so much. Let me know who was you favorite moment or dress.
Best dressed: Heidi Klum, Sofia Vegrara, Lea Michele, Nina Dobrev,Kelly Osbourne and many more. I'm not going to have enough space to fit it (joke).

Crafty Life

2010-08-28T09:10:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, are you a crafty person?

I love making things myself, because:
1. Saving money. I you go to the store and buy the same craft that actually you can make it will cost you way more.

2. Having fun and learning new techniques. I love challenging myself with different projects, and after I make it I feel that I accomplished something, OK sometime the result is not what I expected but at least I see how hard some people are working to make the this craft.

3. Making it as a present that will have more value, because it's made by you not a factory or else. I've noticed before when I'm giving a Gift Card or something from the store, whoever is receiving it it's say "thanks for coming" or else. When you give them something you made especially for them they are so impressed and showing it to everyone. So you make the decision.

4. You can do it with your family. This is one thing that can be done with your kids or husband or else and this is the time you can have fun and bond. Let me tell you I've seen how busy everyone's life is and it makes me sad that sometimes a small thing can make a big difference in our life.

I thing that's all positive and will be fun. Don't think that I can make everything. No but I would love to learn, I'm not good at drawing bit I want to be a fashion designer one day. Do you think that this will stop me, I don' t think so. Because as long as you have ideas you will achieve your goals.
Soon I'll post how to make a decorative pillow. Let me know what is the craft you want to make but don't know how and I'll try to help you.
Have a good one.

Look under $55

2010-08-26T20:35:00.000-07:00

Today I decided to challenge myself with look under $55. It was lots of fun, I would love to do this for a living, one day this will happen. Here are my suggestions. For the top I chose this beautiful Animal Top, love the print and the silk fabric. The good think is you can go on the bottom with jeans, skirt, leggings, etc. The color is great too because can go with almost every color bottom.

The bottom I decided to be a pencil skirt, simple black skirt will bring the attention to the top, which what I like.

The top is from Forever 21, price $38.80
Pencil skirt Forever 21, price $13.80

Hope you like it, next week I'll post new look for less. Let me know what do you think about this one.

See you soon.

Jennifer Aniston

2010-08-22T09:15:00.000-07:00

She is one of my favorite celebrity. Jennifer Aniston with her style is always on the top of her game. Friday she went to the Daily Show wearing beautiful Dolce & Gabbana dress. There's no age for beautiful outfit. The sky is the limit.

2010-08-20T10:46:00.000-07:00

TV Hunter first found photos of Hendricks on Etsy June 25. Hendricks wore a knit scarf. A dress she sported during an episode of "Mad Men" is on sale in a charity auction on eBay along with furniture from the show's old sets. It's good that the celebrity's are finding the best handmade staff on Etsy.

Hilary Duff got married

2010-08-18T19:18:00.000-07:00

Guess who made Hilary Duff's gown? Vera Wang scored again after Chelsea Clinton and Alicia Keys chose her to be designing their gown Hilary did the same. We will see the Duff's wedding dress in the new OK magazine, I bet it's as pretty as every celebrity that trusted Wang's dresses. Who do you think will marry next?...Maybe Kathy Perry or... Who knows.
Have a great day and ttyl. :)

Tight belly after pregnancy

2010-08-17T09:59:00.000-07:00

Today I did my regular workout. As I told you before I'm an athlete. During the day when I have time I'm doing abs. I have a kid that is 2.6 years old. My abs are better than ever. I'll tell you what to do to tighten this belly. Start doing sit ups that are easy for you, but with more repetitions. Later on continue with a bit harder. I don't do abs work everyday, once it get tight it's fine to skip a day or two (don't tell anyone bit I skip week sometimes LOL). I don't like when the commercials are saying you will loose everything by buying their pill or else, if it was so easy the athletes were going to get pills instead of working out. If your belly is very loose it will be hard to get super tight, but definitely you can get fit. Here are some of the ingredients that you should limit: bread, soda, sweets, fried foods, and drinks that contains whip cream and lots of syrup. I'm not saying that you should not eat them at all, but avoid them as much as you can. If you are stay home mom, and you get bored don't go for the food, drink juice, water, etc. I'll tell you a "secret" what I did after I had my son. You know during pregnancy you are suppose to use oil, lotion or else for your belly, it's to prevent stretch marks. I used a lot because my skin was so tight and itchy. One hour after I delivered I had elastic belt, the one that is sold in every baby store, it's called after pregnancy belt ( it's a elastic). I was putting lotion and wearing the belt 24/7 for almost 2 months. I was taking brakes because it's tight and you get crazy sometimes, so if you feel you need a brake take it for a couple of hours.
Don't make it too tight, just tight but comfortable. And 6 weeks later I star doing some sit ups.
One of the pictures is 16 days after I had my baby, and the next one is later in the months. If I find the picture 9 months pregnant I'll post it later. Let me know how you lost the baby weights, or how you get fit.

Tips how to improve your sells on Etsy

2010-08-14T19:07:00.000-07:00

Kindle2 vs Nook

2010-08-08T16:31:00.000-07:00

I like to read and I know that we have another gadget on the market called ebook. I was reading a lot of reviews from experts, but really want to know from you what do you think and do you still prefer to read from a book rather than a gadget. If you have one of those can tell me what you love about them.
I recently spoke with some people and I can tell that 50% said they prefer to feel the book in their hands, and the other 50% were very happy with the ebook because it was lights and they enjoyed it very much.
Here’s some good points about Kindle2:
-The Kindle has text-to-speech function, so it can treat an ebook like audio book. This function is not present on the Nook.
-The price of ebooks for the Nook on Barnes and Nobles are more expensive than the ebooks on the Kindle. This can make quite a difference in long term, the price difference adds up as you buy more books.

Let me know what will you recommend me. Have a good one.
