DIY: Untangle that necklace

Hi everybody !
This is the story about a necklace I bought a year ago in a trip to Miami, it was supossed to be like a golden/silver braid, beautiful necklace when I bought it.  Well, to make a long story short, when I came back to El Salvador, it was all tangled ( from the packing, the trip, etc ), so tangled that I couldn't wear it and so I decided to put it away and fix it SOMEDAY...

Well, that SOMEDAY arrived last weekend haha after a year I decided to fix this necklace and it came in such a good time because I needed that combination since I'm lacking of silver necklaces ( I'm way in to gold tones lately ), so here are the pics and an idea for you and case you have once of these cases.. :)

This is the braid I was talking about... not so beautiful after all..

 

Such a mess..

 

It was supossed to look like this all over the necklace..

 

So, what I did is separate the 3 sets of  gold/silver 'lace' , just grab a tweezer and open the clamps.

 

Once the 'laces' are in order, just grab the tips in one clamp on each side.

 

 

And tada ! here is the new necklace ! It became kind of a statement necklace.

I'm thinking about pairing it with a black button blouse I just bought :).

 

 

It's never too late to do something or fix something you already have, believe me, once you do, you will feel like you have something new and pretty :)



Happy tangerine

Hello ! How is this week going so far?

I have decided to start dieting tomorrow...maybe I'm still on time to achieve that weight loss goal we all set at the beginning of the year ( every year ! ).

 

Talking about colors and fashion, I liked a trend that I spotted in last Sunday's Emmy Awards and it is the fact that many actresses wore tangerine ! don't you just love this color? I love it on my nails like I wore it for my last post about bangles here but I think it also looks beautiful in clothes.

 

Below is some inspiration from the stars: 

 

 

 

Padma Lakshimi from Top Chef. Monique L'huillier.

How does she stay thin working on that show?!

 

Lindy Pulsipher from True blood.

 

 

Nancy O'Dell from Entertainment Tonight. I love this ombre style dress.

 

 

Cat Deeley - from So you Think You Can Dance. Tadashi Shoji gown.

 

 

What do you think of this color? Do you think it suits everyone? I think it's really pretty and it can give a pop of color to the outfits.

 

Here are my pics for tangerine accessories as well as clothes !! I'm in love with this color, next shopping mission will be buying some TANGERINE ! ;)

 

 

 

 

It's good to open our minds to new dress colors and step out a little from the neutrals. Here is my inspiration for tangerine dresses :

 

   

 

 



Love Bangles

Hello ! How was your weekend? Hope it was great !

I decided to go do some shopping over the weekend and found some insane bangles, I fell in love the minute I saw them.  Colors are black and gold and  the set has 4 bangles, the thing I loved the most is that it includes one with spikes which are so trending right now.

When I wear bangles, I try to keep it a little low key with the necklace since I want all the attention to be in my embellished wrist :)  Hope you like them: P.S: they's from Pull & Bear.

 

Wear them altogether to make a statement.

Love the black and gold combination.

Gorgeous and Elegant.

 

You can combine 2 of them or 3 or wear just 1 of them, it will still look great !

 

 

 

 

Say Hello to Yellow !

Hello ! How was your first day of the week? Hope it was nice !

Yesterday at the Emmy's, we spotted some trends and among them we will talk about the yellow one. Many actresses decided to wear this tone and I think it's amazing.  Yellow gives life and makes you stand out so much.  I think it is a color that a lot of people is afraid of but if you mix it right, it can't go wrong.  Besides, yellow is an elegant color, so you will definetly look glamorous and up to date.

Here is the yellow inspiration from the Emmys:

Claire Danes from Homeland. Wearing a bright yellow gown by Lanvin.

He made a pregnant women look confortable and so chic. She really took a risk with this color, most pregnant actresses wear neutral/dark colors for these types of events.

Leslie Mann - Naeem Khan gown. This dress looks like so much fun, you can tell she is having a good time wearing it.  Love the pockets, very helpfull.

Jualianne Moore - Dior haute couture. I love the color but I don't love the top. I think her breasts look weird, like way too pressed down, maybe with a different cleveage it would have looked more fresh.

Julie Bowen - Monique L'Huillier. I love this dress, she looks stunning and so radiant, but hey, who wouldn't be radiant after winning an Emmy?!?!

 

Hannah Simone - from new girl. Wearing Emilio Pucci. 

This dress is really cute, very flowy and relaxed. 

 

Kaley Couco wearing an Angel suarez dress. The dress is nice, a little too long for her though.

Hair and make up...could have been a lot better, she looks kinda tacky...sorry.

Giving this trend, I have pulled 3 outfits very different but following the yellow dress style:

This outfit mixes all bright colors so we get colorblocking.  The blazer gives it a more casual look and the clutch, OMG the bright PINK clutch is the one that will make heads turn to you ! finish the look with some nude pumps.

 

 

This one is for the night out, you know, when you go out with your friends have a good time and you just wanna look hot yet classy.  I love this dress because it doesn't reveal too much, it just hugs you in the right places.   Tone it down with the gray tones on your shoes and give it a little twist with your red clutch.

 

I really love this outfit. The dress is so cute, it is perfect for an afternoon out or a casual dinner.  Love the camel tones ( obsessed with it ) and how crazy are those leopard flats? To die for ! spice it up with the bright blue earring and you're good to go !

 

 





 

 

 



*Fashion* : Rock the wedges

There are times in our shopping lives when we look at one item and we fall in love, you know that feeling, right? Well, It just happened to me ( like many other times in the past, * shocking * ).

This time I fell in love with the below Nine West wedges that are to die for!  El Salvador is a very very warm country, it's like summer all year long, even though it rains, you will still feel hot ! that's how it is, a lot of people from other countries tell me that they envy my weather because it's always sunny and hot.  I think it has its advantages, but on the fashion side, it makes me mad that I can't wear as many scarves and cute jackets because of that ! so everytime it gets a little cold, I never miss the opportunity to wear something like that.

Well, enought about the weather, below are the wedges I'm talking about. I love to pair them with cropped jeans ( it makes me look so tall ! yay ! ) but above all, they are extremely confortable, it's amazing, I'm in love. In the future, I will be styling them with dresses, so I'll be posting back on that too :)

I put together the outfit below, this is basically how I go to work, love a casual, girly, fresh look.

Finally the weekend!!

Weekend Getaway

Weekend just came and is about to leave..that's right, time sure flies !

So... to sum up my weekend, I have to use the word FOOD, food exemplifies pretty much what my life is about, life without good food is no life at all.

So...to start, there was a Mexican party !! who doesn't love tacos and nachos ? Here are some nice tips and ideas for Mexican parties! unfortunately I wasn't able to snap any pictures..

Clasic banners, cheap and chic at the same time, go crazy with all the colors!

 

Nachos are to die for! diet what? just give the nachos and i'm good to go !

 

Margaritas...the Margarita above is the best Margarita I've ever had in my life, it's from Chili's here in San Salvador, El Salvador.  You get addicted to this !

 

This is like real tacos look like, not like those Taco Bell out of the box tacos. 

 

And last but not least...Tequila ! A mexican party is not complete without tequila.
