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: White Vest

A fashionable vest is a versatile separate that can be dressed up or down to suit different occasions. Whether a vest is made of cotton or lace, is fitted or flowing, solid or decorated, find a fashion combination that is sure to turn heads and make a lasting impression.

Dress up your vest ensemble with jewelry. Boldly colored beads would be suitable for a casual outfit and classic jewelry will enhance a professional style. Use long necklaces that hang well past the top of the vest for an attractive look. 

 

 Un chaleco de moda es una prenda versátil que puede ser usada por arriba o abajo para adaptarse a diferentes ocasiones. Ya sea de algodón o encaje, ajustado o suelto, liso o estampado, encontrar una combinación seguro te pondrá a dar vueltas y vueltas a la cabeza.  

Usa con el chaleco accesorios con cuentas de los colores adecuados para un look casual y con joyería clásica esto dará un look mas profesional. También puedes usar collares largos que cuelgan mucho más allá de la parte superior del chaleco para lograr un look mas atractivo.

Look of the day: Tweed ladylike jacket

Coco Chanel once said that simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance... and frankly, I couldn't agree more.

Chanel designed her first signature cardigan jacket in the 1920s. Since then, the typically tweed topper has been reinvented by countless fashion houses.

That's why today's look focuses on a classic and elegant piece the -ladylike jacket- and the way I've styled it, with a slew of wonderfully wearable pieces that are perfect for the modern sophisticate think: a silky red blouse, indigo slim cropped trousers, a statement piece (necklace) and a a pair of killer stilettos.

Enjoy the view!

Love, 

Mariana

 

 I used a stunning necklace to add a feminine touch to the outfit and to keep the attention on the top part of my outfit, adding a contrast to the tweed ladylike jacket.
