Riddle


Wearing:
H&M Tuxedo Shirt
Forever 21 Lace Flare Jeans
Marni Heels
My own hat

Whats black and white and red all over? Me wearing this outfit a getting sparkles all over the place :) 
I personally am more for tea than coffee, but when we ever visit Cafe Barra Cafe, coffee is a must. Especially with the little biscuits they give you to eat while you chat! How amazing are these Marni shoes by the way? My mom had them in her closet for ages and found them while we were rummaging through our old clothes! This Cafe is one of my absolute favorites, and if any of you ever drop by for a visit in Guadalajara, I most definitely recommend visiting this cafe!

I'm sure lace flare jeans aren't something you see everyday... and heres my tip to you; get a pair of dazzling jeans. Wether they are floral print, lace, neon or studded, it's an absolute must for this coming season. The best thing about dazzling jeans (well maybe the second best thing because first of all, they are adorable!) is that you can really pair them with anything. And when you are in a hurry (as I was this morning) They are very simple and easy to pair with a plain white shirt and an accessory, and get you out the door in a second! Prints, Prints, Prints!

Agave


Wearing:
Forever 21 Dress
Costume National Sheer Crop Top
 Denisse Boutique Necklace
Bracelets from Mexico

Black & Black, in the rustic look. Of course there is the everlasting Chanel Black on Black look, but I decided to take the ever classic color pair and create a rustic look, by adding classic beaded bracelets, and simple necklace. A subtle yet striking makeup look (smokey eye) completed the look along with a natural hair wave, turning this look from formal to casual which I plan on wearing again soon! The sheer top and the sheer skirt created a perfect balance of fabrics for the look. A full fabric skirt or top would make this look more formal, and harder to "casualize" for things like school. My personal advice to you all is to have some type of sheer skirt (skirt especially because they are very popular!) because they are great for a simple casual look (a white tee with the skirt) or a classier look (black top with skirt and pearls perhaps? Oh! And finish it off with a swipe of red lipstick!) 

This is Agave from Tequila, Mexico. We traveled long and far to visit and take pictures! And boy was it hot! The Agave has been growing for 10 years and is now ready to be used for products such as Tequila. Thank you to the Agave farmer who allowed us to take pictures!! :)

Graffiti


Wearing:
Cotton Candy Blouse
Husslen Chalayan Skirt
Miss Grant Sandals
Forever 21 rings

Another top I found at the cute little shop above the cafe. I adore this blouse because of how uniquely unique it is! It is also a great top to have because of the "prints" trend, which I recommend all of you get a print top and bottom because they are going to be very in-style this year, along with the color purple and head to toe color suits. It's also got a collar trend too! I love the top because you can really mix it up with anything! It's ideal for jeans and skirts because it gives it that extra "umph" you could be missing in a basic outfit. I think it's great, nay, essential to have a wild top you can use to spice up a day where you don't know what to wear but jeans and a t-shirt. A printed top can give you a quick and easy look. 

School is just around the corner... literally, but this year my blogger resolution is to keep up with my posts! And of course give you all new looks every time! :) Good Luck this year mademoiselles!

The Rolling Stones


Wearing:

Pull & Bear Rolling Stones T-Shirt
Zara Jeans
Denisse Boutique Necklace
Ashish for Underground Creepers

A Casual Day for me... extremely. But It could not be helped with the tremendous heat of Tequila. Tequila, Mexico that is (I do not recommend wearing Creepers in 100 degree weather). One of my favorite new things is my Denisse Boutique necklace!! It's one of my favorite pieces i've gotten this year, and I found it at the little Boutique above Cafe "Amor Apache." Have any of you ever tried dragon fruit? It's quite good.. peculiar.. but good. The little white dome chapped part you see in the fruit  is what you eat, and it tastes kind of like a honey dew melon.

By any chance... have any of you read this months "Glamour?" Because there are some wonderful articles in there that I want to share with you, that have boosted my confidence, and hopefully will boost yours. The issue has many articles on how you really shouldn't be afraid to dress for yourself. Many girls are scared to dress how they want because they want to fit in, they are afraid of being teased or un-liked, which in truth is completely true. The Man Repeller is a blog  Leandra Medine started after she asked her friend why men weren't committing to her. Her friends told her that the way she dressed was horrendous to men, which therefore started the legendary blog "Man Repeller." She liked the way she dressed, and was happy with her style, and guess what? She was recently married! So don't be afraid to dress how you want because really, all that matters is what you like, not what every other girl is wearing. Glamour also stated that you don't have to shop expensive to get your dream style either! I shop at stores like "Forever 21" and "H&M" (my love!!) on a regular basis! The most important thing to do while shopping is to shop around your own likes, (and to look for the good quality items). Don't buy the top or skirt that every girl is wearing to school just because of that reason, buy that cute orange 50's style dress you've had your eye on for a while (which my friend bought and fell in love with by the way). Many girls that I talk to about shopping at "Forever 21" say that they don't shop there because the clothes are bad quality.. not true if you are looking for the cute items! The next time you go to a store like "Forever 21" really look. 

Here are some Examples:

Do all the girls in your area wear

These are all from either Forever 21 or H&M, and they have been key pieces to my wardrobe ever since I saw them on the shelves. But they are also not cheap items, and I have actually surprised people by telling them they are from those stores. 

The Moral of the Story is: Be Yourself. Completely.

Neon


Wearing:

Zara Peach Dress
Zara Neon Yellow Shoes
My Own Backpack

What better color than neon in the summer? It definitely attracts attention, I got serenaded by a full mariachi band. The shoes are one of my favorite pieces I have in my entire wardrobe. They accentuate almost any look and are a color you can wear at any time of the year. The dress is absolutely lovely. I can't say much more that how much I adore it!

Amor Apache



Wearing::
Forever 21 Crop Top
Urban Outfitters Neon Pink skirt
Zara White Sequin Collar

Amor Apache, the wonder store :) I found this little boutique in a cafe we went to... how you ask? I needed to use the ladies room. The boutique is literally the cutest thing ever! It has so many pieces that you wouldn't find anywhere else like the dress i wore in my last post "Del Corazon De La Tierra." 

The new collar I got is one of my favorite new pieces of my wardrobe. It can compliment just about anything! I recommend a piece like this that you can use to accentuate a plain look.

Del Corazon De La Tierra


Wearing:
Taka by Takawear Dress
Forever 21 Sandals
Forever 21 Rings
Oilily Necklace

My childhood wardrobe seems to find it's way into my present day wardrobe quite often. This outfit perfectly describes my flower power days in elementary school. Everything you see here is my trademark print... flowers... flowers.. and more flowers :) otherwise known as Oilily! This dress I found in a little boutique called "Amor Apache," and it comes from Turkey. We fell in love with the knitted pieces hanging on the end of the dress and simply could not leave it in the store!
