Stripes, Squares, Butterflies and fun!






Wearing pants in winter can get a little boring. As you all know, I love to wear skirts and dresses, they make me feel free and pretty. So, why not wearing them on winter? 

This time, I'm showing you how I wore this flattering, striped, pencil skirt. I wanted a simple yet feminine look. I mixed my skirt with a basic white crop top and added a trendy third piece: A light printed poncho. To make the look interesting and fun to wear.

I must say that this day wasn't cold, actually it was sunny with cool breezes every now and then. That's why my flirty skirt look worked.

Thanks a lot for reading!!

Rainy Monday





Drizzly days are one of my favorite kinds of day. The peace these days have make everything get better. The sound of the water drops touching the asphalt, the sound of the leaves waving with the  cold wind and how the streets become mirrors with drawn rainbows. 

For these days I like to feel super comfortable, so I wear my favorite kind of clothes: A comfy knit sweater, my neoprene mini skirt, over the knee socks, chunky platforms and my trusty faux fur coat. These are literally my favorite items on my closet. They look great with every clothe I own.

I wear WEAR.






For this season ponchos and robes are super trendy. I just can't get enough of this pieces, they are really easy to wear. They go well with pretty much anything, always adding lots of style to plain looks. 

I have to say that my ultimate favorite robe of my closet has to be this amazing feather print robe from "WEAR". I can literally wear it with anything anytime. I can either wear it on the beach with a bikini, crop tops and shorts or I can wear it for mild winter days, like in this look. 

Wearing it makes me really happy, I feel super confident, stylish and simply great. I think it's a must having a robe on your closet. It will save your "I don't have anything to wear" kind of days. Mix it with a hat and you will look amazing.

Fur and Claws






This winter began a little weird the days begin being really cold and suddenly it gets hot. For those extreme changes, personally I need versatile pieces: They have to be warm but also fresh and easy to wear. Like this high waisted pleated skirt and turtle neck crop top.

One of the warmest pieces I own in my closet are my fur vests. I believe one of the best ways to complete any wither outfit, other than adding a coat is adding a fur vest. And never say no to knee high socks ever. They are super comfy, warm and look great with mini skirts and shorts.

Thanks a lot for reading!

Number 01.






I think one of the easiest pieces to wear is the basic "lbd". It can be a little tricky to wear it though, because it's so easy to wear it can also be boring looking. So my secret to wear a lbd is always buy  the dress with lots of attitude. With and edgy look so you would never look boring or predictable. Even if you just wear the dress with a pair of heels.

This dress is very casual, but it has the ability to look great with basically any pair of shoes, even the dressy ones. I can also add a denim or leather jacket or vest and it looks fresh and edgy.

It's Poncho time!





Winter is finally here, in a weird way I must say. The days are sunny but the wind is really cold. So getting dressed can get a little tricky in the mornings. 

I like to add layers so in case the day gets hot, I just take them off. They key, at least for me, is keeping my feet and back warm so I don't get cold. For this outfit I could have added a pair of socks, but the day wasn't that cold. So I didn't feel the necessity.

For now on I'm only going to be posting my every day winter looks. 

Hope you guys liked it!!

stripe me up







I think this the first time a post more photos than the usual. Probably because I'm obsessed with this shirt by Zoad.

Actually it's a men's shirt, but honestly I don't care. If it fits well I'll wear it! and I simply love everything about this Zoad shirt: the fit, the fabric, the little details and the length.

As I said before, for me, there is nothing more comfortable than not wearing pants. Because of the length of the shirt, it allows me to wear it as a shirt dress. But I had to wear shorts, I'm not that adventurous, I could also have worn stockings. But it was a rare sunny day. 

Thanks a lot for reading!!

Day dreaming






Last week I manage to organize my schedule and make some time for my blog. I been wanting to share with you, my every day outfits. Specially the ones I wear to work.

I have a creative job, that allows me to wear pretty much whatever I please. So I dress accordingly on the activities I have for the day.

My one and only rule for my working outfits is "Wear the same handbag"also, I have a small list of "I don't wear":
1. Distressed denim shorts.
2. Blazers. (they are boring and predictable).
3. Heavy make-up.
4. Basic tank-tops.
5. deep cleavages.
6. Maxi skirts or maxi dresses (unless I have a special occasion. To much fabric always gets in the way.)

I'm gonna be writing more about my every day working outfits, wearing the same bag, this month.

Thanks a lot for reading!!

Dress up!




I have to admit that I love dressing up! I really enjoy taking my time when I get ready for a special occasion. 

For this outfit in particular, I was invited to my best friend's graduation. Her mother had organized a lovely brunch at a pretty outdoor restaurant. 

I hate wearing the predictable dress every girl uses here in Guatemala. So I decided to give a twist.  This is how I wore a cop top a fancy way (at least for my style and the occasion, it worked.) I think the key to add sophistication to a crop top, is mixing it with the right pieces: a pencil skirt, fancy high heels and edgy jewerly. 

This skirt is made of neoprene and faux leather, it's super comfy and I just love the print on it. My heels are made of elastic bands laced up magically so they look super feminine and sophisticated. 

These photos were taken by the awesome and beautiful Sarah C. Müller.
