Alexander McQueen Look for less

I'm really enjoying all of my classes so far this quarter. You know your doing something you love when you actually want to go to school and you sit first row actually wanting to listen to your professor instead of texting or just simply daydreaming about flying unicorns. Anyways, Alejandro & I were looking at some shows yesterday and we realized that he could recreate one of the looks in the Alexander McQueen men's Spring/Summer 2012 Collection.

Jacket: Thrifted 

Jeans: American Apparel

Shirt: American Apparel. 

I've never worn pink trousers before but I've been experimenting with different colors that I typically would not wear. 

Top: Zara

Blazer: Forever 21

Pants: Zara 

Shoes: Silvia Tcherassi for Payless 

Spring 2012 RTW Shows

It’s been raining nonstop in the Sunshine state for a couple of days. The irony of it all. Anyways, rainy days consist of a lot of ruminating, studying, and a ridiculous amount of hours spent on the internet. I’ve read way too many fashion sites, blogs, browsed through a lot of online stores dreaming of the day where money magically appears on my bank account and last but not least the newspaper. Yup, I actually like knowing what’s going on around me. I love fashion but I also believe that you need a balance in everything in life. Too much of anything is no bueno. Not good for those of you who don’t speak Spanish.

I browsed through a lot of shows. I’d like to share some pictures before I go to the gym. I have cabin fever and I’m going to turn delirious if I don’t get outside of my apartment soon.

Kenzo

Emanuel Ungaro

Jean Charles de Castelbajac.. Uploaded especially for my sister since she has an anything related to Disney obsession. 

Louis Vuitton

Elie Saab 

Vionnet

Kanye West.. I was kind of skeptical when I saw that Kanye West had a collection because I believe that artists should stick to what they are best at. I was pleasantly suprised to see some nice garments in the collection. His music is obviously better than his design skills plus he received a lot of help from fashion gurus but overall it was pretty good.

Nina Ricci

Like a love song baby

I've had this Selena Gomez song stuck in my head all day long today. It's been a very long day I've been awake since 6am and have not stopped all day long. Classes were really fun today and the energy in this school is unreal. I could go on and on about each class but let's not bore you with every single detail of my day.

I came up with this outfit this morning while I was half a zombie. I like to call myself a zombie in the morning because honestly I'm not a morning person. I bought this skirt two years ago and today was the first time I wore it. Don't know why I didn't do it sooner! This mustard V neck was only $4.50 and you will be seeing it a lot! It's very fall.

Mustard V neck: Forever 21

Skirt: H&M

Blazer: Charlotte Russe

Oxfords: Blake Scott

As promised I mentioned yesterday that I was going to start featuring other people in my blog. So everyone meet Alejandro. He is studying Fashion Merchandising with me and is also my neighbor. You will be seeing a lot of him now! We have become very good friends and I love his style. He is a risk taker when it comes to dressing up and I love and admire that about him. As long as you feel happy and confident with what you are wearing you shouldn't mind what others say. Check out his Chictopia for more outfits!

Button up shirt: American Apparel

Blazer: Forever 21

1st day of School

It's been a while since I did an outfit post! Since I moved to Miami I transfered to Miami International University of Art & Design! Today was my first day there and I'm already in love with this school. I love the energy there and am ready to do great in all my classes. Today felt like the beginning of a long journey which I will call my career and dream. It's not going to be easy and there will be some bumps in the road but am ready for the challenge. Not only do I want to share my experience with others bloggings let's me document it and honestly I can't rememeber what I had for lunch two days ago but I could tell you what I wore.

Let me stop babbling since I could go on forever and tell you what I wore. I bought these leather shorts the other day and they are oficially my new favorite shorts. They are so comfortable and go with absolutely everything!

Blouse: Forever 21

Leather Shorts: Lauren Condrad by Kohls

Shoes: Candies by Kohls

Brown bag: Thrifted

Thanks for reading!

Back to business

I took a long hiatus from the blogging world. As a human being we all have our ups and down and we can sometimes lose focus of what we want. The good thing is that I am back with a lot of great ideas that will be implemented soon. I’m going to start featuring a lot of people so stay tuned for that!

In other news, Paris Fashion Week has been going on all this week and I’m swooning over the clothes as I obsessively watch each show. Here are some of my favorites for now.

Chloe Spring 2012

Valentino

Lanvin 

 Chanel

Paco Rabanne

I just want to live while I'm alive

I started my online courses this week and the apartment is almost completely done! I wore this while running some errands with my sister the other day. This romper has a really nice back cause it's kind of open but I didn't take a picture. It's comfy and am all about comfort. It actually depends on my mood. 

Jacket: Thrifted

Romper: Forever 21

Shoes: La Defensa these are the best 3 dollars plastic sandals ever!

I've got a very exciting day for me tomorrow. I'm volunteering backstage at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Swim Wear. A model will be assigned to me and am in charge of making sure all her outfits are in order and making sure she is wearing everything correctly. It's something I've never done before and am ready for the hectic challenge of it. Hopefully I can sneak in a couple of pictures! 

I'm back!

I took a break from blogging for a while. Moving pretty much took big chunk of my time, and it was too hectic for me to ask someone to take pictures. But I'm back and more excited than ever to start writing again! The new apartment is coming out great! I might even blog about it once it's all done because we have gotten some amazing deals and it just goes out to show you that one doesn't need a lot of money in order to make something classy. I always say that when it comes to buying clothing too.

I got highlights on my hair and got a haircut so, hello light brown hair! My sister is in town for a while and it's been really fun having her here. We are going thrift shopping sometime this week.

This is a pretty basic outfit
Dress: Forever 21
Belt: Thrifted
