Double Polka

Hey babes! I hope you are having a great start to your week! I spent today at my cousin's fiancé's dress fitting. Love love loved it! The whole design process is out of this world! I cannot wait to see the finished product. It's amazing how the designer takes his idea and builds it from scratch. We started with measurements and by the end of the the afternoon the bodice was ready for her to try on! Too fun! Gonna have to say this and the dessert tasting=best part of wedding planning! lol

Next!

Hey babes! Happy Monday!!! I hope y'all had a good weekend! I went a little touristy this weekend and went museum hopping and sight-seeing! Definitely a fun change of pace!

I scored these leather Theory leggings a couple of months ago and to date they are my most favorite find! They are so versatile and perfect for the crisp Bogota weather! I've only worn them with darker colors, for some reason--but I think I definitely need to bust them out with some denim! Next time!

Subtly

Hey babes! I hope y'alls week has been going well! Lately, I've been really trying to get to know the city I'm in! It's crazy how many different little areas there are that you never noticed before. Scouting for pictures has helped me to open my eyes to new possibilities. It's been really fun! I bought these printed pants a couple of months ago and I can't believe I'm just getting around to wearing them in an outfit photo! I love the subtle contrast the baroque print gives to a normal pair of black skinnies!

Style Watch!! Swimsuits!

Hola babies! Annnnnd, I'm back to reality! I've been busy trying to find a photographer for outfit shots--way harder than I ever imagined it would be and also doing some revamping of the blog! There are still a few kinks to figure out with the design--so please bear with me!

Swimsuit season is quickly approaching--if not already here where you live! This is one area in my wardrobe where expense is really not one of my main concerns. Yes, I don't want to spend tons and tons on a swimsuit but quality is a definite MUST over quantity. Fit is VERY VERY important! If you spent all that time in the gym--you want to look good right?! An ill-fitting swimsuit will most definitely ruin all that hard work! Trust me, if it doesn't feel right when you try it on--don't even consider it. I've spent plenty a vacation day obsessing over my ill-fitting swimsuit!

Right now, I'm in love with flattering silhouettes and the 50's style pinup looks. Just because your swimsuit covers a little more, does not mean it's not sexy! Check out my latest finds!

{four | five | six}

I'm seriously obsessed with the Striped Bow Bikini and the Colorful Kushcrush One Piece #4!! I'm in dire need of new swimsuits! May just have to pick one (or two) up! Which one is your fave?!

Style Watch! Jumpsuits!

Hey babes! Welcome to a new week! I hope y'all had a great weekend! Mine was spent moving into my new place in Bogota and getting everything set up! I still have a little bit to go! I need to buy TONS more hangers and some cute knick-knacks for my room--but, I am so stoked to have finally found a place! Apartment hunting is not as fun as it sounds!

This Style Watch is dedicated to my newest obsession: Jumpsuits! They are such a fun twist on everyday wear! You can just throw them on and be ready to go out! They kind of feel like a dress to me in that sense--but a little more comfortable for those that aren't into skirts. There are so many styles. From full on pants to mid-calf cutoffs! Check out my finds below! And best of all they are all under $100!


{1: $76.00 | 2: $59.90 | 3: $99.99}
{4: $59.00 | 5: $95.00 | 6: $49.88}

I'm a tad bit obsessed with the Denim Jumpsuit! It'd fit right in with my chambray obsession! Which is your fave?!

Finds Under $40!! Get the Look: Kourtney Kardashian!!

Hey babies!! Welcome to this Week's Edition of Find's Under $40! The Kardashians are ALL over the internet, magazines, and television. While, at times, they can get rather annoying for being so famous for just being famous---I have to admire their fashion sense! Those girls step out dressed to the nines almost every day! And we can't forget about their crew: Scott Disick, anyone? hahah When I saw this look I knew I had to recreate it! I love the sensibility of it, while still being so oh-so-chic! It's crisp and clean with just the right accents! Check out my rendition of Kourtney's look!


{Blouse: $14.80 | Belt: $23.28 | Clutch: $27.00}
{Sunnies: $5.80 | Bermudas: $19.99 | Pumps: $22.49}

I'm obsessed with this look! It is perfect for Spring!! That clutch and the peplum blouse may just have to find their way into my closet!

Chambray on Top

Hey babies! Don't you just love a good denim shirt? They are great for layering and can make your outfits look different just by adding one piece! I have jumped on the denim train and have never looked back! Believe me, a good denim shirt can go a long way! Lately I have been obsessed with finding easy to do hairstyles on Pinterest! There are so many great pins out there! I love being able to do something different with my hair than just the normal topknot and ponytail!

Call It Spring!

Hey babies! Happy April! Man, this year is going by super quick! Do any of y'all have some great pranks planned out for April Fools?! I'm not a big fan of the day--I try to stay extra cautious! lol Gotta watch out for those jokesters!

I finally got to wear my Prabal for Target blouse and I love it! The colors are perfect for Spring and the netting on the shoulders is a fun touch! I can see soo many possibilities for this blouse! I bought this leather belt a couple of weeks ago at a Massimo Dutti sale. Let me just tell you----best buy of the month! I have to keep myself from wearing it every day! A versatile leather belt is great to have in your accessories arsenal!
