LookBook: Three days of floral pants, nudes and brights!

   Last Tuesday I thought it would be a sunny and somewhat warmer day, I was totally caught off guard with the high winds and icy roads not to mention the big snow storm that hit the Valley on that day...argh anyway I totally picked the wrong day to start wearing my sandals! That being said you can get the idea but be wise and check the weather channel before leaving the house :)

 Tuesday: Floral pant and and flat sandals put me in the spring mood....till I left the house and hit the roads :/ 

H&M floral pant; Target nude tank top; Ann Taylor tweed cropped jacket, Tory Burch flat sandals

For this look I parted my hair half way and pinned with crossing bobbi pins, soft smokey eye makeup with brown shades and a cherry lip stick :)

Stella and dot accessories. Sidewinder ring, $69 and bracelet

 Wednesday: went for a skinny jeans and white blazer look, never fails to be polished look!

Rag & Bone skinnies in a black wash; BCBG MaxAzria white blazer; Express tee with mini golden sequins (very very old!); Nine West nude leather pumps; Rebecca Minkoff mini mac in lilac

I love how this is so simple yet sharp look, a bit of peek-a-boo belly and big shoulder pads make the look very current.

 Thursday: As the week progressed the sun did come out and I felt really bright! Also, these are the last weeks of the skiing season here in Vail so the stores are having delightful sales....in which I got this amazing Anna Sui dress with an 85%off! Yes, believe it or not, it was one of those great purchases!!!

For those who follow me on instagram already know what choice I ended up wearing but at this point I was debating which shoes to wear with the dress

Anna Sui yellow dress; Jorge Alex blue snake skin pumps; brown leather jacket and belt

Earrings and brown studded leather bracelet are Stella and Dot; colored bangles are Forever 21, chain linked in gold is Ralph Lauren and belt with buckle bracelet is Juice Couture

    As for the Friday look I saved it for tomorrow since it has some relevance with the outfit video I did over the weekend! Check back tomorrow and have a wonderful week!

Beijos,

 

LookBook: Date Night

   Oh how I love date nights, might be because they are kinda rare, but mostly because lately I have had very little opportunities to dress up, in other words to release my creative self and a date is the perfect excuse to do just that! Ah and have a caipirinha (Brazilian national drink) with hubby which is one of our favorite cocktails ;)
  
   Hangovers aside we had an awesome time in the Valley and I'm looking forward to the next already.

   As for my choice of outfit is my brand new "tigresa" little bootie (that I have no shame in say I'm absolutely in love with!) a great pair of faux leather pants with an amazing fit, a basic white silk blouse and a fitted blazer. Not to mention my favorite bracelets from Stella & dot!!!

Duchess Bangle and Kalahari Bangle, both Stella & Dot (click here to check them out!)

 Booties, Aldo $120; faux leather legging, BCBG MaxAzria $86 (sale girls!!); silk blouse, Vince and fitted blazer, Theory -both from past seasons :(-

I know the quality of the pics are not all that (blame it on hubby) but how could I skip such picturesque Vail views? Right?!

Caipirinhas :)

    For the cocktail lovers this is a great refreshing one and I'm going to teach you how to make:

- I use one entire lime for mine because I like it very limy but feel free to use half,
- 2 tablespoons of sugar (I use raw sugar to be healthier but must confess it tastes incredibly better with the refined kind)   
- Mash the lime and the sugar using a wooden tool called a "muddler"
- Add a shot (or two) of cachaca (sugar cane rum), but we prefer ours if vodka
- Ice on top and I use a shaker to mix the sugar and chill the drink
  
   Enjoy meus amigos!!

Serenity Stone Drop earrings in Jade, Stella & Dot

As for the end of our night, and after all those drinks, I couldn't describe myself better than my friend Bella "The (past) midnight blogger!" 

 Beijos and cross your fingers for the next date, can't seem to get much outfit inspiration lately!

This is a BCBG mint or teal dress - however you see it ;) paired up with a rough leather jacket. If you know me well you already know that this is my fave look, the feminine dress with the edgy leather piece!!
