Yesterday I was out on the job for the internship, this time I had the important job of choosing clothes for a shoot that I am going to use for a project that I can't wait to show you. I'm going to keep that a mystery until it comes out, but I will show you what I wore of course. Since I was in shopping mode and I went to Plaza las Américas I got inspired to wear this: a red, white, and blue outfit, which I have been seeing a lot since the fourth of July is coming. The top is from Charlotte Russe, the jeans are American Eagle Outfitters, and the shoes are from La Defensa, which I got for a bargain. The aviators are the ones you saw in my last look and I can't get enough of them. The look was complete with cobalt nails and gold and red accessories. All that this look is missing are some stripes or stars to make it scream 'MURICA. Enjoy!

I may not be lucky enough to travel around the world yet, but at least I am still able to escape reality every once in a while thanks to the pieces of paradise my little island has to offer, such as the one I am about to show you. All these pictures were taken in Vega Baja, where I have a beach house that I mentioned in my last post. This weekend, from Friday until Monday (yesterday) I stayed with a whole bunch of friends and had the time of our lives. We were only able to enjoy the beach on Saturday, but the rest of the time we enjoyed each other's company, the vast amount of food that was awesomely prepared and the perfect amount of drinks to stay happy for four days. No matter how many mosquitoes bit us (I am actually currently scratching), nothing could take away all the fun we had. Here I show you one of the looks from that weekend which included a Charlotte Russe crochet crop top, Seven by Lu high waisted denim shorts, and a pair of blue mirrored aviators from American Eagle Outfitters. I added a nice fishtail braid and the look was beach sunset ready. Thankfully the sky was still clear and Texi did an awesome job at taking advantage of it. Even though my summer began a while ago, they say that it's with the Solstice that the summer really begins, so I am thankful that I was able to really start it off with such an incredible weekend that will definitely be repeated. Hello there! Missed me? I feel like it has been way too long since my last post, but finally here I am. This is the look I wore on Father's Day, which I celebrated with my family on the beach house in Vega Baja. The dress is actually pretty old, it was one of the first things I bought when Forever 21 finally opened here in Puerto Rico. It is a perfect summer dress with it's bright color, stripes, flowers and shortness. I paired it with the new Sora sandals from Shoedazzle, which have already sold out, and with my Charlotte Russe orange mirrored sunglasses. Also I could no go without some gold accessories like the watch and cuff from Charlotte Russe too. I had a great time in Vega Baja and later that night I had a couple of craft beers with Texi and the gang, which was fun too even if I felt sort of out of the conversation about cars, engineering, and video games. I'm in serious need of girl talk (miss you Ana)! Oh, by the way, if you liked this look and want to see what I wore later that night like my facebook page and follow me on Instagram @fridalorraine. Last Friday was a big day for me, in addition to having my interview for the Córdova and Fernós Congressional Internship, it was my first time covering an event for the fashion internship I got with Ego Moda & Estilo Magazine. The event was a fashion show for the jewelry designer Ivelisse Nieves called "Las dos Fridas", which was inspired by one of Frida Kahlo's paintings called "My dress hanging there". What a coincidence, huh, it was probably meant to be, as my friend Ana said. The whole event was incredible, I got to go behind the scenes, and enjoy the actual scene having cocktails, following the photographers, and mingling; introducing myself was fun because of the reaction of people realizing my name was the title of the show. I wore an all white look, which I was yearning to try, but was saving it for an event like this. I would have to say that my favorite piece of the look is the Zara Culotte Shorts, that have been around the blog scene quite a lot in similar all white looks too, but I wanted to try the trend and the iconic piece for myself (I guess almost anyone can pull them off if they are brave enough). The white blouse I wore is from Anne Taylor, and for the event I wore my Valija Gitana snake skin sandals, but I prefer the look a lot more with the new Sora Sandals from Shoedazzle, which are perfect for the summer. If you want to see a bit of the fashion show, I posted below a couple of vine videos I took (thank goodness for this app, which I am so hooked on so you better go follow Frida Lorraine) way better than just iPhone photos. You can see more photos of the event on www.egomoda.com as well. Here is what might be one of the most important outfits anyone needs to pick out in their lives, the job interview look. This look was for last Friday, the day I had my interview for the Córdova and Fernós Congressional Internship Program in Washington, D.C. I wore a Banana Republic blouse, Anne Taylor crop pants, Charlotte Russe pointed toe pumps, Shoedazzle Blanca purse, and though I did not show it here I wore a Forever 21 blazer as well. I thought this blouse was perfect because blue is the business color (although for a government job this may mean a political party, so careful with that), the print was very feminine and perfect for a day look even though the colors were dark, and the neckline looks very chic. After choosing a top the rest of the outfit was very easy and simple. The hair and makeup was simple as well, hair down and sleek, and makeup concentrated on the eyes with black eyeliner and a little blue eye shadow. I think the interview went well, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed!
Still not tired of black and white or stripes? I hope not because here is a look with both trends, which have been all over the place this spring and now summer. A long with that trend, I got brave and decided to show off my abs, which are still under development, with a crop top from Charlotte Russe. By adding some comfort to the look with my Aeropostale pants, and black pointed toe pumps that are also from Charlotte Russe, I completed the look with effortless chic-ness. I kept it very minimalistic with almost no jewelry, a very clean bun and mod style black eye liner. I wore this to go out on Thursday to La Taberna Lúpulo, with Texi and friends. I definitely felt the summer heat even without being covered so much, good thing I had a nice beer in one hand refreshing conversations with friends. Some of you might have been expecting my look for Friday, which was the day of my Congressional Internship interview and my first fashion show with Ego Moda Magazine. Dont worry, they will be on the next post ;)
Here is the other look from my stay at El Conquistador I mentioned in the last post. This is what I wore for dinner that Saturday night. It was another Charlotte Russe dress perfect for summer because of the tribal print bustier and the pop of pink in a high low skirt. I paired it with the black Charlotte Russe heels I also wore on Friday, they were the only heels I brought, but they matched perfectly with both looks. Black heels are a definite essential to pack on a weekend stay like this. Enjoy this look and get ready, because I'm expecting some new shoes, and this weekend I am in need of wearing a fabulous outfit, you'll see why.
Nothing says summer like a dress made of 100% cotton, especially a white one like this, which is from Charlotte Russe. There wasn't much styling to this look, since it is so laid back (sandals were a must), and also I brought almost no accessories to my stay at El Conquistador Resort, which was the perfect place to take these pictures. There is still one more look from my stay here, and yes it is another dress! If you're gonna stay at a place like this and there isn't much space in your bag, all you have to pack is a dress for each day, some sandals, at least two pairs of shorts and some tops to go with them. Enjoy the pictures, I sure did ;)
Hello again fellow readers! I hope you are enjoying your weekend as much as I am. Right now I am writing to you from El Conquistador Resort in Fajardo, one of my favorite hotels, which I get to enjoy at least once a year for the convention of the Industrial Association of Puerto Rico. This was my arrival look. I was wearing Charlotte Russe animal print shorts, shoes, bracelet, and watch, and the a Pacific Sunwear top a long with the round acetate sunglasses I bought a while back on Ebay. This look could have also worked well matching the leopard print with white to make it look more like a day look, but I decided to go with black because I just love this top and I wanted to match the shoes too. The day wasn't all that pretty yesterday so I didn't get to go to the pool or the beach, but I did enjoy a few perks of the convention an even had my first macaroon. More resort looks coming soon!
