Pretty simplistic outfit that I wore here in September.
This dress is always a default for me. It's my LBD; my little black dress. A garment every girl should have in her closet, this versatile clothing piece can be dressed up to a cocktail party, worn casual for a quick coffee run...the situations in which you can submerse this dress are just innumerable!

Take a look at just few of the different ways I've worn this LITTLE COTTON WONDER:
LBD
(LEFT TO RIGHT: With pink cami underneath, silk stamped belt, owl necklace and rayban wayfarers to go out shopping; with a beautifully adorned white blazer and same liz clairborne shoes to go out to a party this past summer in Spain; dressing up as Amy Winehouse on Halloween with red shirt and tights)


SPANISH:
Este es mi vestidito negro. Las situaciones variadas en el que lo he usado son inumerables! Y es que, un vestidito negro lo tendria que tener toda chica en su armario! Es una necesidad en el vestuario!! Aqui os enseno algunas veces en el que me he puesto esta maravilla de vestido.

FRENCH: Voici ma robe noire. Les différentes situations dans lesquelles je l'ai portée sont innombrables ! Une robe noire est une chose que chaque fille devrait avoir dans son comode ! Il est superbe. Je l'ai porté à beaucoup de différentes occasions. Je vous montre les différentes manières que j'ai porté cette robe.

September School Outfits: Day 2

Back in September I did not have a fashion blog, yet I began to document my daily outfits because I knew I was going to start a website of my own very soon.

I already made a post back in October with what I wore on the first day of school, so here is:

Party Attire & More

A friend of mine turned seventeen yesterday and I knew I wanted to plan my outfit for her party around my newest adquisition: The perfect handbag.

I'd been on a serious hunt for the perfect handbag for about 4 months now, and I'd failed miserably every time. Yet finally the moment came. And boy did I find the handbag for me.

It met all my difficult requirements:

  • Spacious
  • Favorite color
  • Youthful
  • Comfortable straps
  • Plethora of pockets
  • Cute inside trim
  • Beautiful gold accents
  • Right degree of slouch
  • Stylish
And the best part? IT'S RACHEL ZOE APPROVED!! Yes, you read right. On Rachel's section of Piperlime, she chose MY handbag as one of her favorites! And not to mention it's the third one on her list!!! (!!!)

See the list HERE.

And see my beloved handbag HERE!

The color I got (teal) is not available on line..and I'm glad I didn't buy it online because I love my unique color choice!

Perfect Friday

My photography teacher told me I have amazing style and upon hearing her, the rest of the people in the class added on "OMG yeah, you really do always have amazing outfits." and "Yeah, I've noticed you have great style, too!"

Soon the whole class was just shooting compliments at me while I was holding my dripping wet photo enlargements haha.

It started off my day just great. I don't think people realize the power a simple compliment has towards me. It can make my day go from blah...to...absolutely wonderful. It's a total mood changer for me, and I am so thankful for all the nice people at my school (as well as on this blog) that give me compliments... you would never guess how much I appreciate them.

Anyway, later on I got home and Teen Vogue had arrived. What a beautiful ending to a great week!

Je sais que vous ne le pouvez voir dans cettes photos, mais cette chemise de Zara a ruches tres belles! (aussi, pour mes lectrices qui parlent le francais et l'anglais...le mot "ruches" c'est le mot juste pour le mot anglais "ruffles?" haha je ne suis pas certain!)

In other news, tomorrow I am heading upstate to visit Binghamton University in northern New York. I am bundling up because it's about a thousand degrees colder up there! This is the second university I am visiting so far this year. I can only imagine that a year and a half from now I will be accepted into a university and posting it here. Gosh, that seems so surreal! Where will I go? Will I stay in New York? Will I go out-of-state? Will I go to a European school? This whole process is daunting and scary but at the same time exciting and intriguing...so crazy!

May I please stay in high school forever?

SPANISH:
Hoy ha sido un viernes fantastico. Empeze el dia con mi profesora de fotografia diciendome como le gustaba mi vestimentia a diario y en cuanto la escucho el resto de la clase todo el mundo empezo a decirme, "
Si, es verdad, tienes un estilazo!" y, "Si, yo tambien me he dado cuenta que vistes muy bien!" No creo que la gente reconoce lo agradecida que soy en cuanto la gente me da piropos de ese tipo. Un simple, "Me encanta tu outfit!" me pone de super buen humor. Me cambia el dia entero! Asi que gracias a todas las que tomais el tiempo de dejarme comments tan bonitos! Os lo agradezco mogollon, de verdad! Cambiando de tema, manana me voy al norte de Nueva York a mirar una Universidad, Binghamton. Me vuelve loca pensar que en un año y medio me habran acceptado en una universidad...cual sera? Me quedare en Nueva York? Ire a otro estado? Cruzare el atlantico para ir a una escuela europea? Uff, este proceso me fascina pero al mismo tiempo me da mucho miedo!

Me puedo quedar en high school (bachillerato) para toda la vida, por favor?

FRENCH:
Aujourd'hui était un beau jour. Mon prof de photographie m'a dit qu'elle a aimé comment je m'habille. Alors ma classe entière me donnait des compliments sur mon modèle ! Elle m'a obtenu dans une bonne humeur ! Les gens ne réalisent pas combien j'apprécie des compliments ! Merci ! Et merci à tout le gens ce qui prennent le temps de m'écrire un gentil commentaire !

Demain j'irai à New York nordique pour visiter l'université de Binghamton. Je ne peux pas croire que dans une année et demie je serai accepté dans une université ! Où irai-je ? Est-ce que je resterai à New York ? Est-ce que j'irai à un autre état ? Est-ce que j'irai à une école européenne ? Wow, ce processus est très effrayant mais amusement !

Mais, est-ce que je peux rester à mon école pour tout la vie?

How to make your summer dresses work for fall...

Isn't it a beautiful moment when you finally find that beautiful and fresh dress to frolick around during the warm summer months?

You buy it in June anticipating the days to come when you simply run out of style creativity and need a quick thing to just pull over your body. It turns out to be your go-to outfit during the excruciatingly hot July and August days when you need something lightweight to put on.

nic's sweet 16

Yet as the cooler months roll around that sweet and simple dress is no longer appropriate for the colder weather. As much as you love the dress you accept the let-down and see to the fact that you will not be able to wear this dress again until next summer.

WRONG! You can always adapt your summer dresses to work in the fall and winter!

In my case, I added my favorite ZARA cardigan and warm, woolly stockings to keep myself bundled up whilst still being able to sport my favorite summer dress!

VOILA!!! What a transformation!

SPANISH: Nunca dudeis que no vais a poder poneros vuestros vestidos veraniegos favoritos durante los meses frios!! Siempre se puede transformar la ropa para que valga para todas las epocas! En este caso, escoji mi vestido favorito de ZARA que use mogollon durante el verano y lo combine con mi jersey alargado favorito de ZARA y unas medias super calentitas. Lista para salir al frio polar de Nueva York jaja! ;)

FRENCH: C'etait vraiment possible que vous pouvait porter votre vestementes preferes de l'ete pendant l'hiver!!! Seulement ajoute-la une simple cardigan et une ceinture et voila!! Tres facile et vous serez comfortable pour l'hiver dans votre robe préférée d'été!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, I've gotten many compliments on how beautiful the scenery is where I take my pictures. Thanks! It's my backyard ahahah. I'm sorta limited as to where to shoot my pictures because I come home from school exhausted and force my mom to come take pictures of me outside. (She is such an angel!) SO yeah, thanks for complimenting our landscaping, woohoo!!


He recibido unos cuantos comentarios diciendo que que bonito es el lugar donde saco mis fotos. GRACIAS!! Es la parte de atras de mi casa jajaja. Cuando llego a casa de la escuela estoy super cansada y no tengo a donde ir asi que obligo a mi madre que salga afuera a sacarme unas fotitos. (Ella es un angel por soportarme tooooodos los dias a sacarme fotos por aqui y fotos por alla...) . Y mucha gente piensa que Nueva York es solo ciudad! Manhattan no es el estado entero! New York tiene unos paisajes tremendos y tengo la suerte de poder vivir tan cerca de la ciudad (solamente cojo el trencito) y tambien de poder disfrutar de la vida tranquila en las afueras y poder ver los cierbos y zorros pasar caminando por la ventana de mi cocina mientras como jaja. En fin, gracias, jajaa!

J'ai reçu plusieurs commentaires que le paysage où je prends mes photos est très beau ! merci ! c'est mon jardin ! haha. New York n'est pas simplement Manhattan ! il a le grand paysage aussi !

XOXO!

Purple Yellow

This is my favorite color combination. It is unexpected and vibrant; like me! They're both two very strong colors which mix stupendously and add a touch of ZING! Don't you think?

Black & White & Everything Nice








  • shirt.camiseta.chemise: DONNA KAREN NEW YORK
  • skirt.falda.jupe: CHANEL (grandma's!)
  • purse.bolso.sac: vintage GUCCI
  • belt.cinturon.ceinture: vintage
  • earrings.pendientes:boucles d'oreilles: JUICY COUTURE
  • jacket.abrigo.veste:ZARA
Yay for my grandma investing in this chanel skirt 20 years ago!
This is why all you girls should save up all your clothes now...when you have kids (preferably girls) years from now she'll be able to wear all your stylish clothes which will more than likely be in style once again. What comes around goes around! One who keeps will always have!

To my luck my grandma's skirt goes perfectly with this vintage gucci bag I found by a stroke of luck at a vintage shop a month or so ago!

Man, do I love classics! You can never fail with black and white!

Spanish: Que suerte he tenido de haber encontrado esta falda de nada menos que CHANEL de mi abuela!! Es que, es verdad lo que dice el refran (y mi madre), "El que guarda, siempre tendra." Nunca mejor dicho, mama! Y ademas de eso, he tenido una suerte tremenda porque justamente este falda de mi abuela congenia fenomenal con este bolso de gucci que compre hace algo mas de un mes en un vintage shop! Guauuu!!! Me sentia super elegante con esta ropa puesta. Y es que, con negro y blanco nunca puedes fallar! Son todos unos clasicos!

French:
J'ai trouvé cette belle jupe de chanel qui était ma grand-maman ! Chanel ! À ma chance, cette sac de gucci que j'ai acheté ca fait un mois, va parfaitement avec ma jupe !

Il est vrai ce qu'ils disent, celui qui garde aura toujours !

C'est vrai !

Amy Winehouse Halloween

I always love Halloween. I consider one of my favorite holidays. It's the one day of the year people can dress ridiculously and feel wonderful! The one day of the year where no one will judge for what you have on. You are surrounded by humor, good times, and obviously CANDAYYYY!!!

This year, I went as the ever so controversial Amy Winehouse.
And I must say, I gotta give her props, keeping up the beehive is quite tedious, and the application of the excessive eyeliner is not as easy as it looks. Nonetheless, it was ridiculously fun and I felt like a total diva, haha.
And the best part was how people were so outstanded with how I managed to get my hair so high, and how in the world I managed to style it that way. ...A diva never tells, haha.
Above: In photography class. Note the developing and fixing liquids in the background as well as the clips with which we hold up our film, haha.




My friend Sarina as "Daphne" from Scooby Doo.



With a couple of friends and in the last picture my fun and crazy french teacher ahah.


Detailing of the accesories. Anchor accessories and red fishnet tights galore.
dress.vestido.robe: gift
red shirt.camiseta roja.chemise rouge: abercrombie & fitch
belt.cinturon.ceinture: vintage
jewelery.bisuteria.bijoux: wet seal & vintage
A LOT OF eyeliner.lapiz de ojo. crayon countour et definition: L'OREAL!

Spanish: Aqui en EEUU se celebra muchisimo Halloween. Todo el mundo se disfraza y mi escuela se convierte en un estudio de cine de Hollywood. Este año fui vestida de la siempre escandalosa, Amy Winehouse. Y aunque parezca muy facil ir con ese "pelajo" arriba de la cabeza y semejante cantidad de lapiz de ojo; es algo bastante dificil de mantener. La Amy tiene que tener bastante pacienca para colocarse ese pelo todos los dias! Os digo ahora mismo que no es nada facil, chicas! Pero bueno, un dia es un dia y me lo pase fenomenal!

French: Cette année je me suis habillé comme Amy Winehouse pour Halloween. Je dois dire qu'il n'est pas facile de contrôler ces cheveux!! Haha. Mais j'ai eu beaucoup d'amusement! Chacun à mon école a eu de grands costumes!
