To refresh a little, I worked this past summer as an intern for Ego Moda, a local fashion magazine, and there I had two very awesome projects that I am finally able to share with you today. The projects were actually two articles that I wrote for the magazine. The first publication is Reuse, Recycle, Rewear, which is about creating many outfits with the same 11 basic pieces, and for this I was the stylist as well. The second publication is an interview of two Puerto Rican bloggers: Jana Rose Carrero from OJ and Cigs, and María Alejandra from Alejandra's Styles. I am so excited to share this with you my fellow readers, the articles are in Spanish, and unfortunately the Magazine is only sold here in Puerto Rico, but you can access www.egomoda.com to see all the fashion news and tips it has to offer, and I am posting pictures of my publications here taken in detail with my Nokia Lumia 1020 so you can read it right off this post.

Hello again fellow readers! I hope you all had a great Christmas. Here is another holiday look, but not a traditional one as you can see. I wore this to another party on the country side, and I could not decide whether to look more country-ish or holiday classy so I tried both. The overalls are from Nasty Gal, the button down shirt is from Ann Taylor, the pleather bow tie is from Valija Gitana, and the black pumps are from PacSun. I know this is a strange look that not everyone likes or can pull off, but as you might have seen in my previous looks, every now and then I like to take risks like this, and no one should be afraid to do the same because, after all, that is what fashion is all about to me. I hope this inspires others to be fearless fashionistas. Enjoy! Well, I already told you how much I love Christmas so I had to show you a looked that dressed the part. Here is what I wore last Friday to a friend's Secret Santa party. I was wearing asymmetric shorts from Zara, striped top from Charlotte Russe, white sneakers from Aéropostale, and striped sweater from T.J. Max. It had been a long time since I had a gift exchange like this, and boy was it fun. I also loved that there was a mistletoe there, how cute is the picture of me and Texi under it? Have yourselves some happy holidays and until the next look, enjoy! What a night I had last Saturday! I was able to enjoy the great music of Queen, thanks to a tribute band from Argentina called God Save the Queen. They not only sounded exactly like the band, but they also looked the part. The singer stayed in character the whole night, it was as if he brought Freddie Mercury back from the grave. I sang along with my boyfriend and a couple of friends at Bahia Urbana, this nice little amphitheater in Old San Juan, where you can see the cruise ships leave the island, feel the cooling ocean breeze and hear the music in the best way possible. I went for a 90's style look with a top underneath the spaghetti straps of a sexy slip dress from Zara. I saw the dress styled exactly like this on the store's mannequin, and could not resist trying the look for myself. I was also wearing a pair of ankle boots from Zara and to add even more vintageness I used an old clutch from my grandmother's closet. The look and the night were both incredible, I hope you all think so too, but if you don't than...♪it doesn't really matter♫ Christmas in Puerto Rico really is something. Other than having some American traditions like the Christmas tree, we have our own, which usually involve really good food (better than a traditional turkey, trust me), music, and enjoying the nature this island has to offer. This look is what i wore to such a Christmas celebration on December 7th. It was a party my boyfriend's colleagues were having in Vega Baja, which is almost what we consider "campo" or the country, and there we had the best roasted pig or "lechón". Ah, it makes my mouth water just thinking about it, but enough food and now for the fashion. I was wearing a crop top and maxi skirt from Charlotte Russe, a plaid shirt wrapped around me to add some grunge from T.J. Max, and Converse sneakers to give the look even more edge. Finally, as I usually do, I finished up the look with a pair of red lips. I decided to take these pictures with a background that matches what I just mentioned about the relationship with country side and the holidays here; I'm impressed how the back of my house can look almost like an enchanted forest. Until the next look, enjoy! To celebrate the finale of this semester, I present to you a look I was so eager to show, but could not due to all the last minute projects and exams. I wore this to work as most of my looks, and to make it work appropriate I wore the boyfriend checkered shirt from American Eagle Outfitters as a cover up. For some this look might be too busy with the plaid and the checks together, but I thought it was the perfect risk to take and make an awesome combination. What I kept in mind when I combined these two pieces were the colors, which those did match perfectly, other than the many many lines on the prints. I've seen this trending as well, so I could not help trying it because of that. Another trend I love and used here is matching a pencil skirt, this one is my first purchase from Asos and I got it at a steal, with a crop top, which is from Charlotte Russe. I could not help using the shoes of the moment either, which are these lace up heels from Charlotte Russe as well. To finish up the look I added a pop of color on the lips with my Urban Decay lipstick in the shade perfectly named "Anarchy". As always, I hope you enjoy this look and get some inspiration to try it. It would not hurt to get inspired to follow the blog and social media as well ;) Happy Holidays fellow readers! My favorite time of the year has finally begun, and I am so excited to share with you all the looks that make this season so great. It might not be cold enough in Puerto Rico to wear chic coats or play with a lot of layering, but there are still all the events that require awesome fashion since we do have an exaggerated amount of celebrations here. Today, I am showing a work look that can also be great for one of these events and also uses the most popular color of this season which is burgundy. The star of this look is definitely the burgundy skirt with laser cut details, which I recently bought a long with a few new items you’ve seen in my previous looks at T.J. Max. Pencil skirts and peplum tops are a great combination, and I made this pair even better by using a top from Charlotte Russe with laser cut details as well. Finally I had to accessorize with my Shoedazzle burgundy beauties, and my Aldo Miyata bag. Oh and I almost forgot, this look would not be complete without a pair of dark lips, which is also an accessory that is very in this season. I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend, who wouldn’t with all the good food and all the shopping right? Well, that was my case, and I can’t wait to show everything I got. For now, you can get some holiday fashion inspiration with this look, enjoy! |
