Lace Bralette Over White T-Shirt

My mom said never to show your undergarments in public but the bralette over a shirt trend is so fun! I posted this look on Instagram and someone said I reminded them of Cher from Clueless. I didn't see it until now! I loved that show and all of the fun looks Cher and her best friend Dionne wore. AS IF!

Cute Workout Clothes That Will Motivate You To Workout + My Favorite Fitness Apps

Did you get your workout in today? I'm not going to lie, I feel like I've fallen off the workout wagon until very recently. I use to have my workouts three times a week religiously (four on a good week) and now maybe three times a month. I know that life gets busy but my husband and I have promised to motivate each other and start to be active again. 

What To Wear To A Summer Wedding

It's wedding season! The start of spring all the way until the end of summer is the peak of wedding celebrations. The year after my wedding I was invited to 3 weddings and they were all back to back. One was a destination wedding in Mexico and the other two were on the same weekend and about a 3-hour drive apart. It was crazy, but we love all our friends and made it to all of them. This year my husband and I don't have any weddings to attend but I'm sure that will change for next year because a lot of our friends are engaged so the weddings will soon come. 

Queenpin Cocktails With Queen of the South + How To #Slay Your Dreams

If you have not heard of the show Queen of the South on USA Network then you must be living under a rock! This show is amazing; just watch the first 10 minutes of season one and you'll thank me later! My husband and I just finished binge-watching season one. We love to binge watch shows. That is just our thing. We are all caught up and the start of season two, which premiered June 8th, is so bananas. I definitely don't want to ruin it for you guys so I'll just tell you that season two looks like it's going to be a goodie. 

Sips, Sweets, And Shopping With Henri Bendel

Sips, sweets, and shopping, what more can a girl ask for? That's a great trio if you ask me. Last month, on Mother's Day weekend, I attended a Henri Bendel event in Tysons Galleria mall in Virginia with one of my blogger besties. The host of the event was Naowshaba Ferdous, the editor-in-chief of A Luxe Life, an online women's beauty and lifestyle publication. She's super sweet and ambitious! I love meeting new ambitious people, I feel like those good vibes and great energy is always contagious. 

Better in Pairs | Healthy Marriage Tips From A His & Her Perspective

Pictures by: ArmandHugon

Three years ago today I said I DO! I will never forget that sunny June 14th when I married my best friend. It was a year and a half of planning and we poured our heart, sweat, and tears into having the wedding that we wanted. After the big party and the honeymoon is over that's when real life begins. For married couples, falling in love and the "I do" part is the easy part. The part where people like to call "happily ever after" is the hard part. Marriage takes a lot of work, effort, and sacrifice to maintain a healthy one.

Always Creating Brunch At Burtons Grill & Bar Sterling

Warning, today's post will make you hungry! A few weekends ago I attended a blogger brunch + networking event in Sterling Virginia. If you followed my Insta-story videos that day then you saw all the delicious food and fun I had. The event was hosted by a Northern Virginia lifestyle blogger, Glor, from Always Creating Studio. The event was held at Burtons Grill & Bar and man was their food so good. I'm still thinking about it! The tablescape was to die for with the pretty flowers and set up. The flowers were provided by JR Flowers and we all got to take some home with us. Brooke from Calm, Pretty, Insightful Images provided us with some OOTD photos as well as some of the ones I'm using in this post. Thanks, Brooke!

Chiffon Wrap Palazzo Pants

I finally got my hands on a pair of palazzo pants that don't drown my 5'1 body. I'm actually very proud of myself because I didn't need to get them hemmed. These chiffon wrap ones were just waiting for me!

My favorite season, summer, has unofficially arrived in DC! There are so many outdoor activities I love to do once the temperatures start to go up. I love to go to the park, pool, beach, barbecues (who doesn't love barbecue food!?), festivals, and bike riding. Pretty much I spend 80% of my time outside when the summer time rolls around.

National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month

May is National Teen Pregnancy Month and I partnered up with The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy to help spread some very important resources with people that do not have access to them. I really love working campaigns that hit a personal spot and that I can find ways to relate to.

I hope you all had a lovely long Memorial weekend. It feels great to get back into the swing of things. I took Monday completely off from work to give myself a break to re-charge. I have a lot of fun content coming up and can't wait to share. I'm kicking off the week with a style post and one of my favorite style of shoes your wardrobe will need this summer.

Fun Things To Do & See In Georgetown

One of my favorite things to do in Georgetown is sit on stoops of homes and take pictures. Just kidding (maybe not). I love shooting in Georgetown because there are so many pretty houses to look at and so many amazing places to take pictures. If you read this post from last week then you may recognize the house in my background. This black and white house is so cute I had to come back and take more pictures. 

An Easy Updo Hairband Hairstyle

Happy Monday lovelies! Today I'm sharing a hair post with some chic hair accessories. I recently received the cutest package from Fromm Beauty. They recently launched a line of hair accessories which is exclusively available at Ulta Beauty. The accessories are very fashionable and they include genuine leather headbands, bow hair-ties and cute bobby pins. 

A Mother's Day Gift Guide With Cappelli Straworld

With Mother's Day weekend upon us, I wanted to share a gift guide featuring Cappelli Straworld bags. I recently received one and I must say it will make the best Mother's Day gift. So mom if you are reading today's post I got you flowers and a Cappelli bag! I got my fashion sense from my mom so she will love this bag just as much as I do. My shoe obsession though, I got from my dad. LOL!

My Favorite Thrift Find To Date!

"I'm gonna pop some tags. Only got twenty dollars in my pocket..." I have this Macklemore song stuck in my head as I write today's post because I went thrift shopping and found my favorite thrift find to date! It's no surprise I'm a bargainista and I'm definitely, not shy to hit up a thrift store.

I've Got Monday Blues (The Good Kind)

Happy Monday! This morning I put the cereal box in my fridge thinking I was putting away the milk. I think that was definitely a sign of Monday blues. LOL. Don't you? Today's blog post is all about the blues, the good kind though. I posted this look on my Instagram and got a lot of questions and comments on the whole look. It's one of my favorite looks to date and I'm happy to share it with you guys.

Better In Pairs Event With Hush Puppies | S/S 2017 Collection

One of my favorite things about being a blogger is attending events because I get to meet new people and network. One of my first events in D.C. after moving down here, I met a lot of amazing gals and two of them have become long time friends. You just never know where you meet amazing people that are meant to fit into your life.

A Striped Dress + My 2017 Summer Bucket List

Summer is right around the corner and that means less layers and flowy dresses for me. Although it's technically still spring, we have been getting some nice 80+ weather days here in D.C. During the summer I always gravitate towards easy-peasy pieces because it's too hot and "ain't nobody got time for that."

3 Products For Shiny & Voluminous Hair

Happy May! I asked you guys what kind of content you wanted to see more of on here and I had a lot of request for hair posts. So, I'm kicking off the new month with these amazing hair products from RG Cosmetics I recently tried. 

Off the Shoulder Pom Pom Top + My Favorite Summer Accessory

Happy Friday beautiful people! This weekend the temps are going to feel very summer-like and that makes this Caribbean girl want to do a happy dance. 😌 Today's blog post look would be perfect for the weekend. Yes, I know another off the shoulder top but this one has the cutest pom-pom details. I just had to get it, making it a perfect top for spring and summer.

Spring Makeup Looks With La Bella Donna

I'm very excited about today's post because it's a beauty one! I feel like it's been while since my last makeup post. I definitely want to incorporate more beauty/makeup on here so stay tune for more of that. Today I wanted to talk to you guys about an awesome makeup line called La Bella Donna and share some of their goodies I received with you.

Star Printed Booties

When I first got these booties it was love at first sight. I mean a star print and gold heels! Actually, when I immediately received these they reminded me a little bit of Coachella. Now I never been to the music festival nor would I probably survive in the dessert but I do love to see Coachella fashion. I obviously did not pair the boots nowhere near a 'chella look because of course the weather was very East Coast when I shot this look, drizzling and cloudy. 

National Blue & Green Day | Donate Life / Done Vida

The month of April is National Donate Life Month and, more specifically, today is National Blue and Green Day! Everyone is encouraged to wear blue and green to show unity towards those on a waiting list for a transplant. I love getting involved in causes like these and I love that I have this platform to be able to advocate on a bigger scale. Being an organ donor is so important because you have the power to donate life. If more people donated organs and tissues, more lives would be impacted.

Black x Pink

If you follow me on Instagram then you know I got a fresh spring hair cut. Looking at the pictures from this shoot prior to my cut made me realized how much my hair had grown. I don't regret the trim because I had so many split ends. Speaking of hair, I have a fun hair post in collaboration with an awesome beauty and hair company coming next week. I definitely want to start mixing different content on here and hair and beauty is one topic I want to touch more on. If you have any request on any topics for this space here I would love to here your feedback!

Drew Barrymore's Flower Eyewear S/S 2017 Collection

Happiest of Monday's my loves. I hope you all had an amazing Easter weekend and if you are on the East coast, then I hope you enjoyed the summer-like weather we were blessed with. It reached a high of almost 90 here in D.C.! 

The Trend That Won't Stop: Off The Shoulder

Is the off the shoulder trend ever going to end? Unless you have been living under a rock I think you may have notice every store, every brand and every girl rocking this trend. I love that there's so many styles of tops, dresses and jumpsuits with the cold shoulder look. Today I'm wearing one I received from Rainbow and I must say this style if my favorite because I can still wear a normal bra and have a cold shoulder. I don't know about any of you ladies, but with a full off the shoulder top and having to wear a strapless bra it's hard. Lol. At least for me it is because it's constantly falling. If any of you ladies can recommend a good strapless bra for my off the shoulder tops I will love you forever because it's hard being about that strapless life.

Florals For Spring ARE Groundbreaking

Product was provided by Jane.com in exchange for a review. As always all opinions are my own.  

"Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking." Sorry Miranda Priestly but florals ARE groundbreaking when you're wearing this pretty floral wrap maxi dress. Depending on where you live spring might be in full swing. In D.C. the temperatures have reach to almost a high of 80 and I'm not complaining about that. I sometimes forget I live closer to the south now so the temps will always be a bit higher than when I lived in NY/NJ. I love every minute of it! It was the perfect weather to bring out this wrap dress from Jane that I recently received.

If you have been following me for a while now, then you know that I made the decision to turn my blog into my full-time job not so long ago. I had been doing the whole corporate 9-to-5 thing since I was 20 years old. After a while, I felt like my life was missing more than just a job; it felt like it was missing a place where I could just be creative. I was lucky enough to have turned my blog into my career, and I could not be happier.

Ready For Spring With Jord

Some say the coming of spring is like a new beginning and I totally agree. The weather here in D.C. is finally starting to cooperate and it actually feels nice and warm. The cherry blossoms are blooming and the layers in my wardrobe are being put away. When the seasons change, I love to get ready for

A couple of weekends ago I had the pleasure of attending an intimate event in the house of Peruvian American designer, Evelyn Brooks with a few other bloggers. I spoken about her before but if you are new here, I wore some of her jewelry for New York Fashion Week this year. You can see those

Cherry Blossoms in D.C.

Over the weekend it was the peak bloom of the cherry blossoms here in D.C. However, due to this crazy weather and that last snowfall we got not to long ago they weren't looking very pink and bloom as they normally look. People usually head into Tidal Basin by the Potomac River to see all of them

Mini Skirt + OTK Boots

TGIF! I have been dying to hear those words since Monday. Has anyone else had a long week? This weekend the weather is going to be gorgeous but I'm really looking forward to staying home and catching up on my Netflix shows. Last weekend I had a busy one with blog stuff and personal stuff so I will lay low on this one. Self-care is very important and my body really needs a few days of doing nothing!

An Oversized Denim Jacket

Make mine oversized! I been dying for an oversized denim jacket for a while but was afraid it would drown my 5'1" frame. I decided to give it a try and guess what? I love it and wish I could wear it everyday! 

Are Your Sleeves Making A Statement?

Happy first day of spring! I'm kicking off the week with a very spring ready look on the blog. Statement sleeves have become the staple shirt trend in every girl's closet. Who doesn't love a power piece though? From bell to trumpet to ruffles you name it, the party is happening on your sleeves. I

A Pink Pleated Skirt

TGIF guys! Next week is the official first day of spring and even though the temperatures on the East Coast don't want to give us spring then I guess I'll just have to bring spring to the blog. This was another look I shot inside the National Gallery of Art (you can see the other one here). Such a beautiful museum and perfect for pictures. 

Spice Up The Classic White Blouse

As much as I love trendy pieces I never forget about classic pieces for my wardrobe like a white blouse. I mean they are versatile because they basically pair with anything for any occasion.  I recently received this one and it's far from your basic white blouse. I love how minor details can spice up a simple top.

An Embroidered Bomber Jacket

What's satin has hints of pink and is embroidered? My new jacket that is! I'm currently obsessed with the embroidered trend. You can find it on just about everything. From denim to shoes, purses and jackets it's on it . I recently received this bomber jacket and I'm so in love with it. Bomber jackets are another trend that that doesn't seem to be going away. Are you guys still rocking with the bomber jacket trend?

I'm so happy we are in March already because it means spring is right around the corner. Last week we got a nice taste of spring with a few days of real gorgeous weather.

On Day 6 of #NYFW17, I only had one show on the docket and it was in the afternoon to view the Anniesa Hasibuan's Fall/Winter collection. I feel like I lucked out my lovelies because the weather was actually pretty good for a change. The snow had finally melted and the temperatures rose to around the mid 50s. I was definitely one happy fashionista! I was able to take pictures of my outfit without having to get frost bite on my hands; don't let anyone ever tell you that frost bite is a good accessory! Let me show you what I put on from my kloset.

For Day 2 of New York Fashion Week I was fortunate enough to attend the Dan Liu show. There was no snow but it was a coooooooooold day in New York City.  Brrr! I wanted to wear something that was both eye-catching but still keeps me warm. This dusty pink faux fur coat from AMIclubwear absolutely did the trick. It was one of my favorite personal looks from the week!
