TGIF: The Man Repeller dose

Lately, I've been crazy reading new blogs that came across my sight. Some are super new and some are THE statements of the era. I just love coming across new things for me to keep me entertained and just to have my dose of beauty and fashion related things. What can I say? I'm just that crazy (I'm a girly girl, what did you expect?) 

I came across this picture in the front page of Vogue. com! 

The Man Repeller, one of the most fashion forward blog into encouraging you to wear fashion how you like it using statement pieces and in the moment fashion pieces too, she has the most bizarre fashion sense but she has a talent of making it work. Like actually work. If you haven't come across Leadra Medine's site, well, I am telling you right now, that you need to go and read it ASAP. I came across Man Repeller a couple of months ago when I saw her in one of the Rebecca Minkoff videos, Rebecca Minkoff Fashion Week Boot Camp  and thought she was so hilarious that I had to look what else she did, and yes, I fell for The Man Repeller (isn't it getting annoying, me repeating things over and over again? sorry!) and it's been great! She gives a lot of her personality in the site and OWNS it.


So I thought of sharing this blog and hope you enjoy it and see what things she does with fashion that you might think "oh no, but oh well".

Happy Friday and enjoy the beginning of the weekend!

Fashion Weeks kick-off parties!

Happy Saturday Everyone! 

As the week has ended, and everybody has been a little crazy running around (the majority has just began a new semester a few days ago) and being loaded with work you normally don't get when you are just starting, I decided to make a post to make the stressful days be left behind for a while and talk Fashion Weeks. I know, a little late because they all began on Thursday with FNO's (Fashion's Night Out) from LA all the way through Italy.

This events are promoted in Europe and in the United States, they are the biggest ways to celebrate Fashion as a passion and as an art. It is the most profitable industry in the history, giving people jobs and a lifestyle. I love this add the most stylish people out there (Joan Rivers) and the most talented in LA made to promote this party of Fashion. 

Some beauty gurus also participated, Elle and Blair Fowler and Dulce Candy. 

I thought this is a great way to make people more conscious that Fashion is all over the world and more events should be promoted when the fashion weeks come along. 

Here in Latin America we have great designers. Just look at Carolina Herrera and how massive her Fashion Empire has grown. We need to celebrate them too to make a statement and be a little piece of the puzzle too of this great movement. 

Going back to topic, this month is going to be great and I will be keeping an eye to the latest trends that will, definitely, come around. 

hope you have a great weekend!

Jewelry and me

I have a problem. It just seems that I don't know how to rock some big statement jewelry. I limit myself to some sort of classic pieces. The very basic ones. 

I tend to concentrate more on the piece of clothing when looking at creating new looks for different occasions. 

The classic pieces I have in my collection are pearl studs.

A silver necklace that was a gift from my parents, with 3 charms that marks great periods of time in my life

A lot of rings, which I love wearing rings (I won't get tired of them any time soon) but specially I wear a silver and gold ring I got while visiting one of my aunts. 

(Picture coming soon) 

I am a person of custom, sometimes change just makes me dizzy, but I try my best to embrace it and welcome it as best as I can. 

I will try my best to rock pretty jewelry, because every time I go into stores, I go crazy, but then restrain myself because I don't know how to pair it with the clothing I have.

Bye August!

Happy end of the month people! 

It's been a great month (but also so sad) . From the beginning to the end. I loved going back to University and switching up my style a bit. The cooler months are the best for me, I love bundling up in warm clothes, and layering is my favourite statement. 

I have so much things going on these months and upcoming weeks, from reading to events that I'm super excited for. When the time comes, I might be able to share them with you! I have nothing set in stone for some projects but lets see what come along! 

In general, I hope September is as good as August and that it will open some more doors for me. 

I hope you had a great month and that are enjoying every second of life.

Style Segment: From 1920 to 1930's

Style set it's new boundary-less, more feminine and fashionable self during this period of time, women started to centre more around personal grooming as a plus for fashion. This became a hit since Hollywood started presenting motion pictures with some of our favourite fashionistas of the time.

The magazines Vogue and Harper's Bazaar saw this trait coming and inclined their products into developing fashion statements and slowly became women's most read magazines until this era. Women preferred them because of the tips and tricks they showed in how to achieve the Hollywood Glamour that every girl/woman desired.

During this time period, skirts, suits and bodices where so in and the hem fell from about an inch beneath the knee, one stylist that introduced it was Chanel. The style became baggy, not that much of form fitting as the previous style we saw during the decade of the 1910 all the way to 1920. The zipper began to be utilize more in the latter part of the decade.

During the late years of the decade, in 1928, the style changed again making the hem to the knee and leading to the style of 1930.

Women gained the right to vote and with such liberty they began to carve their way in society, more liberal thoughts run through their minds and (as being a woman my self too) it was fun to experiment with new things that came in the way. The style had to become more comfortable without loosing the class and the status of ladies.

We can never forget about the shoes, the piece that make the outfit fall together smoothly. T-straps where the most used type of shoe because they provided security while dancing the Charleston  and pointy toes and medium to high heel where perfect for the deed.


I hope you guys liked this post, it's always interesting to know how style has changed and what influenced those changes.

Polish Review: Revlon's Charming

Hey guys!

I recently bought a new shade from revlon and it is super cute. A pastel-y lilac colour called Charming and it is so gorge that I can't stop staring at my nails and of thinking that the colour looks so good on.

I feel that my Revlon Polish collections has been growing and I am proud of it because they are great quality for just about a couple dollars. I love the lasting that they are and how smoothly they apply. This shade has rapidly become one of my favourite nail polishes of summer and spring because it is a pastel and for the hotter seasons it's better to make a statement with it. Now that in the US and the northern hemisphere in general is starting to be warmer, pastels are a must have for every wardrobe if you like to look young and breezy and girl-y.

Here is a picture of Revlon's Charming

As you can see, it's very very light and summery and flirty great for those spring/summery date nights. 

I hope you enjoyed this post!
