WAYS TO WEAR DENIM!

Hello everyone, 

The one item that always saves us when we have no idea "what to wear" and can easily increase our look from an average five to a high ten is denim. No matter if it's dark washed, ripped, plain or with embroidery, I love denim, can smell denim from miles away like a cup of coffee early in the morning (it's not like me to get up early, but for coffee I'll do it). 
I see no end to these blue hues (now and into the future), which is why I want to share with you some of the ways I've worn denim. They're all different, everyday wearable and a great inspiration for any season because, let's be honest, denim is eternal - it can be worn any day, any season.  


1. Denim Shirt Dress  

   
The first and one of the easiest ways to wear denim is in the form of a shirt dress. Just button up the buttons, add a tiny belt (if you want to highlight your waist) and choose the accessories you feel like wearing on that day... it might be big trendy earrings or a cute bag that adds color to your look. 

I find denim shirt dresses a must because I can wear one to the beach, over my swimsuit and later take it out to town with a pair of heels. How great is that, no sweating in trying to figure out what to change into once day turns into night and the opposite? 


2. Denim Short-Shorts     

Because we live in shorts when running errands or even when we're just chilling at home, denim shorts are the way to go. I can bet (Vegas made me do it) that we each own more than three pairs of denim shorts because they're practical, fashionable and very easy to style. You can either add a cami top and a kimono to your shorts or a simple tee with a nice jacket or bomber on top, and guess what, you're ready to do whatever it is that you want to do. 
I might not have paid any attention in school, but when it comes to seeing all kinds of denim shorts at the store, I'm all eyes and ears, enchanted in learning more. 😂 


3. Denim Dungarees    

  
If you want to fully express your love for denim like me, I recommend wearing overalls. You can easily adjust to the weather with a tank top or a sweater underneath, so no worries. They're always so comfortable and nice to have because the pockets always come in good use to me when I don't want to carry a bag. I stuff everything into the pockets and smile wide for a long time. 
If you're a dungaree kind of girl, how do you most often style your dungarees? 


4. High- Waist + Embroidery Denim Skirt   

I honestly love the feminine charm denim skirts add to a look, so I wear them as often as I can, and like the shorts, have plenty of them. Whether in embroidery or not I usually always have the idea of what to wear my skirts with. Some days it's a bodysuit/one-piece swimsuit with a kimono, other days it's a plain/print shirt kind of day. What's your favorite combination? 


5. Denim On Denim 

For the ultimate denim lover, denim on denim is the perfect solution.
I have those days when all I want to do is wear blue (and have some fun), that's when I,  without a doubt, reach for denim. An over-sized jacket and tight jeans are my go-to pieces. They compliment each other like Beauty and the Beast (one cannot live without the other.) 
As you know, there are other fun ways to wear denim on denim, which I would love to show you in the near future, so stay tuned.

HOW TO PAIR PATTERNS IN THE SUMMER?

Hello everyone, 

I know we all LOVE wearing patterns like stripes, polka dots, plaid... so why not wear them together? With my tips on pairing two different patterns together, you can create an outfit (out of your already existing closet pieces) that you might have never thought would look this good.

I'm sure this will give you plenty of ideas for wearing patterns and hopefully will inspire you to not be afraid of combining one pattern with another. Get ready because it's a lot more fun than you could ever imagine and something you'll for sure be proud of once you see your perfect creation in the mirror.     

  
Ways to pair 2 different patterns!  

• Successful pattern pairing is when everything is in the same colored family. As an example, my black stripes from the top match the black pattern on my pants. Once you choose which color you want to go with, make sure that color is present in both patterns.                                                                                                 
• Balance is key! The pattern on my pants is more bold and bigger, therefore my top pattern must be smaller. This way the look isn't overwhelming or a bit too much.                                                                                                                                                                                                            
• If pairing two patterns together is something new and unfamiliar to you, you can always start small (use patterned accessories); maybe by pairing a patterned skirt with a solid top and a patterned scarf around your neck (the colors of the skirt and scarf should compliment each other.) That way you'll build the confidence to try two full patterns next time around.                                                                                                                                                                          
• Once you've got your patterns ready, keep everything else at minimal. The one thing I desperately wanted to add for a bit more color is this yellow bag, which I think made this outfit summer ready.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

                                                                                

Will you be rocking patterns anytime soon?

MY SUMMER PICKS!

Hello everyone, 

Who's ready for summer? 

As the hottest season of the year is nearing, I'm very excited, but mostly prepared, because I've found my must-have items that will not only save me from the heat, but make my summer complete. I'm talking about essentials that I can't live without! Like the gorgeous maxi dress above...I'm getting ahead of myself... first, let me talk about the little tidbits that make my summers colorful, fun, sexy, and memorable, AND then we can talk about my favorite coral dress! 

What's something you can't live without in the summer? 

Let's not keep you guessing anymore and show you what I'm really loving. 

1. Cool Sunglasses 

    
Let's be cool for the summer with a pair of mirrored shades that, of course, protect your eyes from the sun, but mostly give you those awesome summer vibes. I must admit, I've been buying sunglasses way too much, but you know what, a fashionista has always got to have a new pair for every look of the week. 😎  I don't know why, but anytime I see colorful sunnies at the mall, I'm hooked, and find it hard to leave without them. So long for the "I'm only looking" phrase! You know I'll be walking out with a new pair after they ask me "How may I help you?"  hahaha 


2. Fedora Hat & Fuji Camera 

Summer is all about having fun in the sun, right? Well, that for me means two things: a cute hat and a polaroid camera in hand. You can't have fun in the sun and not capture every moment as it's happening! What's even better is that you and your friends get to create summer memories that will last you forever. Plus, when a trip is involved, it's even more fun, so you know you can't miss bringing these two essentials with you. 

Even if my trip includes going to a coffee shop near by or a hike in the desert, I take with me exactly these two items because adventure awaits at every corner and I'm not about to miss any of it because I wasn't prepared. LOL 


3. Golden Natural Tan with Bondi Sands Self-Tanner  

This is my absolute favorite body tanner that got me back into believing that self-tanning can actually look natural and beautiful. Since my high school prom I haven't touched a tanner because, I must admit, my skin looked horrible with orange uneven spots everywhere that looked like I just poured the whole bottle over me. I was a true newbie without using a mitt or following any of the instructions, which led me to the conclusion that I cannot pull off the natural tanning look and to the fact that I want to erase this memory from ever happening ASAP!
 Rewind back to 2017 and I'm turning into a self-tanning pro (at least trying to). This tanner is super easy to apply, it takes a few seconds and once you apply it, you can dress and go without any worries. I love it and now I cannot image a summer without it! 


4. Bright Lips with Smashbox "Tabloid" Shade

    
Big colorful lips are my summer signature look. That's why my number one essential when going out is having the lipstick I'm currently wearing in my bag. It's a must... I'm obsessed! 
This magenta shade, called Tabloid, is the one I'm loving and looking forward to wearing all the time during the summer. It's so beautiful in person and really makes that kind of statement I like to make... bold, effortless and bright. What's your favorite summer lipstick color? 


5. Charming Charlie Pink Shimmer Dusting Powder 

I love to shimmer in the sunlight, so over my tan I apply this lovely powder that is perfect for those summer days when I'm going out. It's the best accent for those v-neck summer dresses, off-the shoulder dresses, sun dresses... believe me, I've tried it and it looks so beautiful. Unlike other glitter products, this one gives you that perfect amount of shimmer like a glow that you'll want to have everyday. I even tried it as a highlighter for my cheekbones and it worked great (even though it's only recommended for the body, not the face.) 
I like that they have this powder in pink, gold and silver for whatever shade of shimmer you're feeling that day.  


6. Colorful Flat Sandals 

Since during the summer I'm mostly out and about (always on my feet), I like to wear flat sandals that are cute, but also won't hurt my feet when walking. Now when I think about it, I have plenty of sandals that can create a full rainbow because they're all so colorful (how many of you imagined a rainbow of sandals?) Plus, they all compete each dress of mine!    
These here are my newest addition that are happily welcomed into the family and will play the lead role this summer as I'll be wearing them non-stop. 


7. Summer Maxi Dress 

Last, but not least a summer dress like this one is my weakness because it's flowy with a front slit and an open chest. The color also screams summer and brings to me all the many reasons for which I love this season.
If I had to pick only one dress to wear all summer, this one would be it. What about you, what is your perfect dress?  


These are my "most important" summer picks for the summer. I want to hear what are yours in the comments down below? 

I hope your summer is filled of new happy adventures, lots of fashionable looks and full of moments that will take your breath away.

See you next Thursday for a new post. Meanwhile, you can always find me on Instagram and Twitter.
