I'm back from being MIA because of Spring Break! I'm actually kind of sad about it since I enjoyed it so much and for a while I felt back in Puerto Rico or in Summer (yeah I'm a little homesick). Today I have two looks in one for you, which are perfect for the transition to spring. I bought the dress in my first trip to NYC at Zara on sale and now I can't help thinking it will have so much sentimental value because of the fun I've had wearing it in Albany and Miami. For the first look I used the dress as a skirt by wearing a PacSun sweater I bought before leaving P.R. . This not only changed up the look and made it more casual, it also kept me warmer. I wore the dress with tights and boots from Charlotte Russe in Albany, but in Miami I made the look more party worthy by loosing the sweater, the tights, and wearing it with a nice pair of lace up heels. This look would not be finished without red lips and nails to match of course. I'm having such an incredible experience out here, it is hard not to have mixed feelings about going home or not. For now I will just have to enjoy every moment one outfit at a time. Enjoy!

A few confessions about this look before I actually talk about what I was wearing: 1. It is not the only outfit I wore that day (but it's the one with the best picture) 2. I don't want to bore you with pictures of touristy things I did (or show you the other outfit) 3. My boyfriend did not like this look (it is a weird sequinned top after all) 4. I went completely "fan girl" for this mural because I saw it in Gary Pepper Girl and on The Blonde Salad 5. I wasn't satisfied with just the picture in front ofthe mural so I took this other one and ironically looks cool in black and white. Now that this is out of the way I can tell you about the look. I was wearing a new Zara sequinned 1/4 of a top is what you can call it, with an Ann Taylor shirt, Route 66 distressed jeans, and Converse Sneakers. This was for the third day of my weekend with Texi in NYC and on this day we went to the Natural History Museum, which of course made us feel cool because of the movie (check my Instagram @fridalorraine for my picture with Dum Dum). The rest of the day we basically spent it finding good places to eat and drink around Amsterdam Ave. and East Village where I found this mural. So now the question I would like to know is what do you think of the outfit and the pictures, go on don't be shy! And while you're at it go ahead and follow on Bloglovin' and Facebook too ;) As I promised on my last post here is the first count of my adventures with Texi in New York City last weekend. The day after he arrived we started our journey with a great brunch at, of course, Greenwich Village. After that we went directly to Times Square, took some pictures, and then went on the hunt for Rockefeller Center (this took us a while, but we finally made it). It truly was a majestic view of the Empire State Building and Central Park. We also visited the Public Library, another great historical and architectural masterpiece. The day did not end there, we had the chance to see Grand Central Station as well, and that was an incredible sight, not just because of the building details and the labyrinth like tunnels, but because of the amount of people moving at great speeds to get to their destinations. After seeing this, we spent most of the night on another hunt, this time for a place called Burp Castle in East Village. This is an amazing little beer place inspired by a monastery, they even shush you if you speak too loud. Being the City that Never Sleeps we still went looking for places to go after that, so we ended the night at a Puerto Rican restaurant in Amsterdam Street. More tales of this journey are to come in my next post so stay tuned, and enjoy! Hey fellow readers! Here I give you my first look for NYC this past weekend, where I met up with Texi finally! I was too busy squeezing him so I did not take any pictures the night he arrived, except for one of him eating the biggest pizza slice I've ever seen. So I took the pictures for the outfit basically now in the back of my building again. I wore this Célfie T-shirt I've had for a while now, but finally got the chance to combine it with this great vintage faux fur coat from my grandmother's closet, and another borrowed item: my boyfriends check shirt. I was also wearing the pleather pants from Forever 21 you've seen a billion times already, and my new white Converse sneakers (I didn't even have to say they're new, just look at how white they are). I had an incredible time with Texi in the city, and I'm going to share more about this on the next post, obviously with all the looks which were all with the same coat, but hey you can get some ideas on how to pack light for cold weather trips. Enjoy this one for now! |
