Look of the day: Cotton Candy

Pretty pastel fashion is on trend this spring 2012 with several designers showing looks for spring and summer in these pale hues. I loved the sugary sweet pastel shades that coated the Spring/Summer 2012 catwalks. The high street has picked up the candy shop trend with aplomb, with a whole host of girly pieces. To wear this look in a modern fashion, combine different colors in pastel separates as shown in this post. 

Look for colors such as pale yellow, blush pink, icy blue, or light lavender to forget today's very un-Spring-like weather outside like I did, and start to enjoy your day as if it was the last one! It just might encourage the warmer weather... 

*** La tendencia mas marcada esta temporada es pretty pastel, ya que varios diseñadores muestran looks de primavera/verano en estas tonalidades pálidas. Me encantaron los tonos pastel como dulces de algodón que vi en las pasarelas de primavera/verano 2012. La calle se ha acelerado a la tendencia ya que todas las tiendas parecen de dulces con una gran cantidad de piezas. Para llevar este look de una manera moderna, se combinan diferentes colores pastel como lo traté de hacer en este post. Busque colores como el blush, lo pueden hacer con el amarillo pálido azul cielo o lavanda.  Para olvidar que el clima de hoy es muy poco primaveral decidí usar estos cálidos colores para disfrutar mi día como si fuera el último! Sólo esto podría alentar un poco mas al clima cálido...

Look of the day: After-hours booties.

We don't usually associate ankle boots with summer dressing but thanks to fashionable ladies like Rashida Jones and Karlie Kloss, we're beginning to rethink the idea. A longtime signature of the model-off-duty wardrobe and a Balmain staple, the after-hours ankle boot is quickly gaining ground at both red carpet premieres and fancier fashion events. Lately I've been loving this look so much because the shoes offer a touch of toughness, which in turn gives dressed-up looks a cool edge you wouldn't otherwise get from a pair of pumps or sandals. A year-round essential that every girl should own now, the after-hours ankle boot is the subject of today's look!

No solemos asociar los botines con los looks de verano, pero gracias a las fashionistas como Rashida Jones y Karlie Kloss, estamos comenzando a repensar la idea. La firma Balmain y el look de las model-off-duty han hecho un elemento básico, el botín after-hours está ganando terreno rápidamente en la alfombra roja y eventos de moda más elegantes. Ultimamente me he enamorado de este look porque los zapatos dan un toque de rudeza, lo que a su vez da una vibra vanguardista a un look perfecto, cosa que de otro modo no podrías obtener de un par de tacones. Una pieza fundamental que toda niña debe tener en su armario es el tema del post de hoy, el botín after-hours.

Look of the day: Leopard print

Leopard print is such a statement, as shown by DKNY and House of Holland in their runway shows for Spring/ Summer. In denim, this can be worn in faded pastel shades of mint, blue and rose with a subtle leopard or snake print for added wow-factor. 

I decided to team these show-stopping jeans with a plain black tee and flats for daytime, and heels in the evening.

RO who's the KING ?

Hey dear friends, followers and stalkers, today's outfit is what I call "edgy + comfort" for those busy  non stop days, even if you go hiking you won't be bothered by your clothes at all! check it out..

 Since the weather hasn't improved at all, and it's still windy it is a perfect choice to wear jeans with a dressy shirt to make your outfit look stylish.

 Mixing it with a pair of flat ankle boots, and a ponytail to make it a clean casual look.

I wanted to create a comfortable but edgy outfit, so I decided to wear the "it" pair from the comfortness kingdom my True Religion indigo Jeggings*, they suit as PJ's!

(*Highly recommended if you are a legging lover like me.)

 So in order to create the edgy side I wore a stylish shirt, with a black/tan pattern, simulating an "animal print", mixing it with a black mesh ruffled vest to make it more casual, adding some contrast to the upper part.

And to add a "world traveler" trendy touch I add a pair of tan leather Wichita booties, which I consider my casual slippers I can walk around for hours and they won't bother me at any time. 

At last but not least the accesorizing part, I used a pair of chained ocher vintage earings with my favorite Indian bangle! and a classic styled Casio watch, mixed with pearl bracelets from my granny's jewelry box.

 The tan leather messenger bag from Spain! the most comfy bag I got ever since, I can carry everything inside ! 

To add the styling a perfect touch check out this vintage tortoise round sunglasses, oh my they're absolutely GOR-GE-OUSSS!!!

Hope u liked it ! 

LOTS OF LOVE!
