In March 2010, Lagerfeld shocked, surprised and inspired his Fashion Week attendees yet again. For his Fall 2010 Show, Polar Bears, Ice Caps and Couture all came into play. That collection in particular inspired my outfit today. This khaki green "Mulholland" T Shirt from StyleMint was my first choice to wear. Although I'm not literally dressed head to toe like a Polar Bear, this fuzzy faux fur sure does keep me warm. And the color of my T Shirt, in particular, sings Fall. I love that. You probably can't tell from these photos, but I was singing "All I Want for Christmas is You" in my head as I walked and skipped about "on set." I can't believe it's almost here, so near, yet so far. The saddest part is saying goodbye and having to count down 365 days for the next Christmas morning...



What do you think of my StyleMint Outfit #3?

Thierry Mugler + Chanel

Vintage Blazer / Thierry Mugler Skirt / Sam Edelman heels / Chanel Quilted Bag / Ray Ban Wayfarers


This little yellow pencil skirt will definitely be making the rounds on the blog! Vintage Thierry Mugler at its best. Straight from Paris in the eighties. The blazer, also vintage, complements the hue of the skirt with its gold buttons. Mix in spiked heels, a soft yellow Chanel bag, Ray Ban Wayfarers...and I'm ready to go! Easy go-to look for a business meeting. Also works for attending Fashion Week or a dinner date in. Do you like the idea of mixing in a casual t-shirt underneath?

My Vintage Yellow Chanel Bag

CHANEL bag


I recently picked up this pretty little yellow Chanel bag from Vintage boutique, Adore. Rumor has it, this bag once belonged to Jerry Hall. Can you imagine the stories this bag could tell? And all of the lavish parties it has attended? I wonder what's in store for me with this bag? When my Mom first saw it, she wanted to keep it for herself. ;)

So, tell me. What are you all up to this Sunday?

Belle Dress

Joie dress, Vintage bag and sunglasses, Aldo heels, Marc Jacobs Gold watch


Whenever I meet someone new, they always ask me if I'm Italian for some reason? I'm not. In fact my family roots are deeply cemented in Spain, France and Cuba. And, I was born in Miami, Florida. However, I adore the Italian language, Italian music and Italian food. When I pulled on this sheath of a dress I felt romantic and a tiny bit Italian. Didn't hurt that Alex and I were celebrating some great news at an Italian restaurant I suppose...

Whenever I wear dresses, I feel like a princess. I've always been fond of the Disney princesses (and for a day) I felt like Belle.

P.S. To any of you using Netflix Instantly Online.. am I the only one bothered by their pulling shows and movies off at random? I was really getting into a TV program only to find out it will be removed on Friday. I still have two more seasons left to go =(

NYFW Makeup

When packing for any trip, or photo shoot, makeup is always crucial. As far as my personal picks go, I'm pretty easy. I only require pressed powder, subtle bronzer, creamy blush, eyeliner and nude lipstick or gloss. I only wear mascara and/or eyeshadow at night. My personal favorites are Chanel and Dior. And if I'm in an absolute hurry, the darkest eyeliner possible, preferably smudged, face powder and lip gloss are all I really need.



What are your essentials?

A New Light Shed on Chanel S/S 2011

A new light was shed on classic Chanel staples. Signature accents merged with modern details. Ballet ready pieces fused with a fifties mindset. Modern metallic and classic skinny pants played nice with soft shimmer and short skirts. Slightly baggy crop tops juxtaposed voluminous skirts and flats... creating a heavenly appearance. Lagerfeld brought soft color and graceful jewels into focus with ease this season.

Chanel Nail Polish Concoction

I received quite a few inquiring emails about my current nail lacquer du jour... in answer, I grew bored of OPI's muddied gray and decided to create my ideal shade of blue slate gray. I blended You Don't Know Jacques by OPI with White Satin by Chanel. To finish, I mixed in Neo Whimsical by Essie, for a slight blue hue. And... Voila!

I call it Cloudy Skies.

Chanel in Soho

One night, while in New York, Alejandro and I went window shopping and dined on Cuban food. Both were scrumptious. When I arrived at Chanel, I wanted to go inside, unfortunately it was late and already closed. I felt a little like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's gazing into the windows; minus the croissant, Givenchy dress and lavish jewels... of course.




{Vintage coat, INC. skinny jeans, Coach bag, Ralph Lauren watch, Fiorentini + Baker boots}

I wore these boots all over the city and am slowly breaking them in. They are definitely becoming a Winter staple in addition to my Mom's vintage, ruffled coat. ...I hope she doesn't mind. ;)

NYC at Night

Bebe leather jacket. French Connection dress. Love Label platform lace-ups. Vintage bag.
Hammered Ring Cuff courtesy of LOFT.



There's this electric energy that flows through me whenever I am in New York City. I feel at home there.
The LOFT flagship store was très amazing. Beautifully organized by color, cut and accessory.




I couldn't believe the party myself. To see and meet Alexa Chung was pretty much unbelievable!
After leaving the soirée for Dinner, I came back to find Alexis Bledel 2 heads in front of me in line. QUEL SURPRISE! I have to say both girls were not only prettier in person, but just as sweet as I'd imagined! Ra Ra Riot puts on a great show, amazing LIVE. Catch them if you can.



Visiting is bittersweet, always wondering when I'll be back.
I love New York, and hope to stay in the Bowery Hotel again soon!
