TrendReport: Spiky Motorcycle Boots

   Some may say: "I'm sick and tired of the motorcycle thing", but for whatever reason this edgy trend has survived for years and I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon...

   In fact it's just getting yummier and funkier, with spikes all over leather jackets and boots, this is a fun way to innovate and feel the 80's (yet again) from Brit little darling Vivienne Westwood!!!

   I seriously got so many compliments on my boots that I just had to share ;)

Aldo Boots $180.00

I guess the town of Vail is already testing the faux snow machines ;)

These are the views of my girls (public) school!!

Basic leggings, long sweater (H&M) and a cute leather jacket (XOXO)...yeah babe!!

AccessoriZe: Warby Parker

   I'm so excited to share this with you!

   Browsing on Pinterest the other day I came across these super cute pair of sunglasses - something I've been looking for forever but couldn't really find the right thing- and so I went to their website warbyparker.com to check it out

  Let me tell you I'm NOT an online shopper (I like to try things on, smell it, feel it, etc..) so of course I wasn't thrilled to see this company is based in New York City, but to my surprise I found out they can send you up to 5 pairs of sunglasses gratis, so you can try them on in the comfort of your homey! You have 5 days to try and play with the glasses and return them with the pre-paid return label they send along with the sunglasses!!!

   Now the hard part is to choose which one I want to keep! That's where YOU can help me...send me your opinion on which style you like best (via comment, email, facebook, twitter, whatever is easier) I already have a favorite but need a different perspective - I wanted all of them in pretty much the same concept, vintage "Audrey Hepburn on Breakfast at Tiffany's" ray-ban squarish styles, but they offer a lot of different "vintage-modern" frames.

   What are your thoughts?!

A- Everett Gimlet Tortoise

B- Robinson Olive Wood

C- Winston Coca Cola

Which one?!!!!!

Cute try-on case!

All the lenses are polarized and cost only U$85.00

The company was created by a bunch of super stylish friends who live in the city and got together on a mission:

"Warby Parker was founded with a rebellious spirit and a lofty objective: to create boutique-quality, classically crafted eyewear at a revolutionary price point."

Check out their pics wearing their creations and their backgrounds here

Ui! What a great smile buddy ;D

Help me pick mine and I'll help you pick yours ;D

LookBook: Day out of town..

   Day out of town finding lots of goodies for fall! Went to pick up my girlies at school and Bella goes: Mommy, you look soooooo cute!!!!!

   What in heavens would I do without my "gurls"?!

   Anyhow, she took some of the pics and here we are:

 

It all started when my friend Karin went sneaker shopping and asked my opinion, I sent her my look wearing my own!

Then my Belinha started shooting!! Ban, ban, ban

Great hat find at Target (little girls section! Oops!!!) Bird top H&M, jeans Rag & Bone (the best jean I have ever worn!!)

Cardi Forever 21, sneakers Steve Madden, Jewelry Stella & Dot

   Do I have a talented child or what?!

FashionNews: Adele and Burberry, real or not real?!

   Fresh news this morning when yet another designer-celebrity collab is giving people something to talk about. Well, nobody has confirmed anything yet but the news are circulating all around UK and the rest of the world for that matter.

   Adele has worn the label in many red carpet occasions and let's face it, both the singer and the label are so proud to be English that only something really sharp can come out of that mix. Rumor has it it Adele will design "custom-made" clothing for the women with curves! (very much needed, considering the teeny tiny Burberry numbers) And has been approached by nothing less than Christopher Bailey himself!!! So exciting ;)

Can't wait to see what happens!

LookBook: Harajuku-mini

   As my days progress with very little adult interaction, I feel the child inside of me growing stronger and stronger!! hehehe

   So as to pay homage to this little phase I'm going through I put together a look with my newest cute little tee from Harajuku-mini! Yes, in case you're wondering it's Gwen Stefani's line for little ones sold at Target! Now, if you let your inner child out you can actually have a great time picking through those babies, did I mention they're 12.99 a piece?!

   The only trouble is that this was an XL size, so it's not everyone of us who will be able to take full advantage of then, but what I what I suggest if you can't fit in them is to cut out the cartoonish little people and sew it on another tee (one that fits obviously!), a solid basic color works best!

When I tried it on I had a zebra skirt from H&M on and it works perfectly with the tee!

 Keep it colorful with bold nail polish! The look works with boots, flats or even sandals (if where you live it's still warm!) Make sure it's very basic, you don't want all the pieces fighting!!!!!

This look proves that you don't have to feel 80 years-old when wearing a tweed jacket...layer the look with little charm necklaces since the focal point is the print on the t-shirt.

 

 

   That was the fun part! If you are more into the classic equestrian look, I wore the same yellow jacket from Zara in a totally different way. These are nice examples of dressing a piece of clothing up or down. And since we're talking kiddos, here goes a "Day in the Mountains" with nothing less then all of then!!!! 

Hate my face on this one but that's what my 7 year-old Bella took, so let's get pass it ;) Dress the look with a statement necklace and do an instant lift on the outfit. knee high boots, solid white basic tee, nice stretchy pants and you're good to go ride a horse!   

Loose the jacket for a more casual feel

If you switch the blue denim for black this outfit can take you to a night out as well!!

Hope you ladies and gents enjoyed the Friday outfit ideas!! Not a whole lot I can come up with lately living around these parts ;P

Apps for the clothes-minded

Just recently I found another fashion app that I really enjoy. Honestly I have a ton of them but don't really use much except for a couple and since I'm kinda skeptical I wasn't so sure I wanted to download another one of those in my phone, but guess what?! This one is actually fun!!!

http://www.clothapp.com/

"Cloth is an app for iPhone and iPod touch that makes it easy to save, categorize, and share your favorite outfits. The app also lets you send your favorite outfits to this site, for us to post for the world to see."

The cool thing about this app is that it uses your current weather when saving your pics so when you run out of ideas you can browse back and the app gives you choices of what to wear based on the weather conditions!!! The app is free for a limited time, just thought I'd share since I'm lovin' it ;)

And since we're talking fashion apps, another one of my faves is the Trendstop app.

http://www.trendstop.com/

It gives you instant trend alerts and let's you browse trough some great news from the fashion world. I believe this app is Brit so it's even better to get news from the European runways....almost live!

Now, if you're more into the celeb fashions, my go to app is popsugar.

http://www.popsugar.com/

 Amongst celeb gossip they have a section that is exclusive for the "who wore what and where" type of thing. Pretty entertaining when you're waiting on an appointment or on the check out line at the grocery store.
