Queen of hearts

One of my favorite things to wear are shorts! I love how free my legs feel, how effortlessly cool they look. Personally I believe shorts are a must have in every closet. You should have at least a pair of denim shorts and another pair with a cool print. These ones are from the beautiful store BOHO. 

I think you can wear shorts with pretty much anything: sweaters, crop tops, tank tops, t-shirts, dressy blouses etc.. For this outfit I wore an amazing pair of printed shorts from BOHO, a basic black tank top and a stunning snap back from ZOAD.

Mondays hate me..

One of my favorite combinations to wear is black over black. It just makes me feel very comfortable every time. 

For this look I felt like wearing a sand trench coat over my "all black outfit". Not only because it has been raining a lot here in Guatemala city, but also it gave me a different look a more polished one.
Sorry for my super crazy hair, I didn't have time to comb myself.
Hope you guys like it!!

Where the Wild Things are.

Rainy days in Guatemala can be tricky sometimes. It's that period of the year when summer is saying goodbye and winter is starting, so the days can be really hot and all of a sudden cold and rainy.

For this kind of days I like wearing my usual summer outfits with a bit of my winter outfits. (just like the days). In this outfit I wore high waisted shorts with an over sized mesh tank (summer outfit) and added an over sized long cardigan and ankle boots in case it rained. (which did)

I think what I love the most about this kind of outfits is that you can look completely different just by adding one key piece. In this case my blue printed cardigan.

I also added a turban (which I did it myself), it finishes the total outfit making it look effortless and cool.
I think this is one of my favorite looks of the year so far. I just loved how it worked!!

A couple of weeks ago was the world wide instameet, I had the pleasure to be part of this amazing project here in Guatemala. I really have to thank from the bottom of my heart to Mono del Espacio for making me part of this and most of all, believing in me. (you should all check his work out, it's incredible!)

That day was a really hot, but in the morning rained a little. So I decided to wear was a skort (for the heat), a super comfy tank from Zoad 1, (this tanks look great with anithyng you wear!) an amazing rain vest (in case it rained) and some high heel booties.

This is another way to wear a skirt for rainy days, again I think the key is layering (in this case the vest.) and the booties, so my feet wouldn't get wet. This is a more easy going outfit, super comfortable and I just felt great the whole day (I walked nonstop that day!).

Thank you so much Gustavo Dávila and Lester Liquens for this beautiful photos!!

The printed Kimono

My dad gave me this kimono last year for my birthday. He's always trying to make me wear bright colors and bold prints. I must say he has great taste, but it's not easy wearing his presents.

Wearing this bold kimono is no exception!
When I wear bold trendy pieces I like to mix them with basics in neutral colors, so this is how I usually wear this kimono.

 

I wore a super basic look underneath, a black tank top with denim shorts and nude ankle straps.

I like to wear all my dad's presents, no matter how colorful they are. We have had a strong connection, since I was a baby and I still love to be daddy's little girl! 

Special thanks to Pablo Estrada Segura for the lovely photos!

Thank you so much for reading!!

The grandma, grey cardigan

I think the god of basics has to be the cardigan! It has been a basic even before basics where invented. This is one of those weird pieces that looks great on babies, kids, teens, adults and even great grandma's!! Honestly which other piece has that ability? It's just amazing!!

The cardigan can be a little tricky, either you look like a kid or like a mom. (Yep! I was called "ma'am" a few times before, just like the blazer! )  The key to wear it young, is to keep your inner outfit with edgy yet simple pieces.
Here are my 3 personal rules when I wear a cardigan.

     1. Wear a tank top or a sleeveless top. There's nothing more uncomfortable than wearing a thick  sleeve.
Never ever, wear it with a button down shirt or dress!This immediately ages me. 

    2. Wear easy going bottoms. It can be either any kind of shorts, cool jeans or a trendy skirt. Never a pencil skirt or trousers. They also immediately age me.

     3. Roll up a bit the sleeves, to give an effortless vibe to the whole look. ( I might break this rule sometimes, depending on the look I want to wear.)

For the shoes I don't have a rule. I literally wear any kind of shoe. For this look I wanted something more comfortable, cause I was going for a walk with my dog (a husky). So I really needed super comfy shoes for a busy hot summer day.

I loved this look, It not only worked for my morning walk with my dog, but also worked for a summer lunch and later when I grabbed some ice-coffee with friends.

Over-size = comfy-size

Yesterday I had one of the greatest day's of the year so far! I had the pleasure to assist to "Bonito mi barrio" street art exhibition, later I attended to an anime convention. Which I have to admit I had a great time!

Because these where outdoors events besides it was a really hot sunny day, I decided to wear a comfy mesh tank top. This tank is amazing for hot summer days, it's breezy, sheer and fabulous. I consider it a basic piece in every wardrobe, no matter your style, you always need an over-sized black tank top.

I wanted an edgy look, so I wore my trusty high-waisted shorts. Instead of wearing my tank inside my shorts, I decided to wear it like a mini dress, so I would feel more fresh, free and comfortable.

Underneath my sheer tank, I wore a white and turquoise bikini top. I mean why not, the day was so hot, plus I was going to summer parties so I could get away with it.

I finished my outfit with my wonderful sporty high-stack ankle straps, (they are so comfy it's like wearing sneakers!)  and my always so chic body necklace.

I love to wear over-sized clothing, my secret is not to wear all my over-sized pieces at the same time. If I do so, I would look sloppy and neglected. I like to create a balance between a nice fitting piece and always wear heels to make the piece appealing and simply chic.

Those boyfriend shorts

Because April is the iconic month of summer here in Guatemala, I'm going to dedicate this month to post my simple effortless summer looks.

Tonight I'll like to write about my favorite pair of shorts ever! They don't show off my body as the others, but they are super comfy and easy to wear. They are actually real boyfriend shorts, they are made for men, that's why they fit me like they do. 

That day in particular was super hot, so I really wanted a simple fresh look.
I wore my lovely boyfriend shorts with a simple basic white tank top. (You can never go wrong wearing blue jeans and a white shirt!)

I wanted to add something different to lift up a basic, kinda boring look, so I added this incredible body necklace. I love how it lifts up basic looks, it just gives life to literary any shirt.

I was feeling a little adventurous, instead of wearing black heels I decided to wear my statement coral red pumps. They gave a trendy vibe to a simple basic outfit.

So now you know simple and basic doesn't mean it has to be boring, with little details you can pull off basic looks!

(This great photos were taken by my amazing best friend! Thank you so much, love you!!)
