Leopards, and Tigers and Cheetahs, Oh My!

"El Zoologico De Guadalajara" is definitely one of the best Zoos of all time. They have absolutely any animal you could possibly think of! Sadly we came too late an didn't have enough time to find the cheetahs, but this beautiful leopard was a sight along our walk and who could resist not taking a photo. Along with the white tiger! 

If I haven't said it before, here I go... everyone should have a cheetah print something. And a good cheetah print something at that. The reason I say a good something is because there are trillions of cheetah printed garments out there, but many of them are cheap and tacky looking. Now I'm not saying you should go out there and get a $100 dollar printed pair of pants, there are plentys of reasonably priced quality items *cough* H&M *cough* Forever 21... but I really believe that a pair of shorts, a top, a dress or even a belt or shoes in the print can really be a life saver when you can't figure out what to wear in the morning. With cheetah print, you can go all black and have that pop of print! Another great investment would be a collared shirt, or just a separate collar that you can add to different looks, like the one I have in my post Amor Apache.

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!

H&M Blouse 

Mundo Cuervo Long sleeved Shirt

Zara Jeans

Zara Heels

Who doesn't love those heels? I was so lucky to have found them in Zara... they were the last pair in my exact size and in that particular color (comes in white and neon). Plus I finally found a pair of flattering jeans, which is most definitely and essential you should all have by the way. You can have a million pairs of jeans but you need to have at least one pair of jeans that fit you like a glove! 

Last night I watched the movie "Chaplin" and I fell in love with it... partially just because Robert Downy Jr. was in it. The movie is so touching and so inspiring to me because of how Charlie Chaplin went from nothing, to becoming the most successful actor of his time. Also because of Robert Downy Jr.'s (who is by the way my favorite actor if you haven't noticed!) incredible performance. When you watch him acting and Mr. Chaplin you really believe that it IS him, he really IS Charlie Chaplin. He captured so many aspects of Charlie, which makes him my absolute Idol. Not just because of this particular movie, but because in whichever movie he is in, whichever character he plays, he is always fresh. He always has a new personality to give to every character which is absolutely incredible to me. I also have to comment on how adorable Moira Kelly was as "Hetty Kelly," Chaplin's first love (Ever since last night i've been scouring the internet in search of her dress in the picture!). Must watch!

I was so happy to hear all the feedback I got from my last post! It really overjoys me to read about how many of you can relate to wanting to do something different but being scared to because of what others might think. You're breaking free! :) In my opinion, I think you guys will be very happy to be able to show off who you really are. One of my friends has a pair of Prada Shoes she absolutely loves, and she had them for a while in the box in her closet. She was afraid to wear them (PRADA SHOES!?) because she thought it was too much for what everyone usually wore. Hello!! If any of you have a pair of Prada shoes in your closet, you better be wearing them! Remember, Be Yourself. I can't even explain how many different styles of clothes I wear. I can't stick to one style because there are too many things out there that are so my style, which is like i like to call it "New York." Because there are so many different styles and looks I want to try. That's why my blog crosses such a vast verizon of styles, because I can never decide what I want to stick with! :) I can't wait to hear from you all and even send me pics of Your Personal Style! to my email or on the Bijoux and Bisoux Facebook page!! Thank you all!!

The Moral Of the Story Is: Be yourself. Cause you were Born That Way.

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

 pleather shorts?

 collared dresses?

 these hats or combat boots?

jumpsuits?

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.
