The Red Booties.
A Remix of the 20′s Silhouette
This week started with some light rain. Just one of those days where you want to cuddle in bed with your favorite blanket drinking your favorite hot beverage. We just got home to a toasty 79-degree house, and have no plans to go back outside. I’m finally sitting in my living room with the fireplace going, watching a taping of The Wendy Williams Show, and drinking hot cocoa. Watching Wendy is a daily ritual of mine, I just LOVE her!
Anyway, this afternoon I paid a visit to a thrift store near my area because of their competitive prices and large selection of home décor. Since the weather has been cold lately, and the seasons are changing, I’ve been in the mood to make my home feel cozier. I can’t wait to show you guys my new décor once it’s done. I’m going for an eclectic/vintage feel, so lots of color, prints, vintage furniture, and knickknacks.
I wore this outfit today to run errands and do a bit of shopping. The dress has a great 1920’s drop waist silhouette, which is something new in my closet. I wore this dress to the Katy Perry album release party last week too, but in a dressier way. Think bare legs, laced up black heels, and no vest. This dress is so comfortable and warm, especially when layered with stockings. I don’t know about you guys, but these thigh-high socks sure make a girl feel sexy! I’m pretty much obsessed with them and are definitely a staple in my fall/winter wardrobe every single year!
I hope you guys enjoy my new outfit of the day. I’m finally back from recovery of my surgery. You might notice my eyes are still a bit red from the hemorrhaging but it’s almost gone. YAY!

Printed Trousers
Today I remixed a pair of trousers that have an excellent fit on my petite frame. When something hits every single point like it should, it’s only mandatory for me to wear it again and again. Not only do I save a lot of money wearing clothes in different ways, but it also narrows down my selections in my wardrobe, which makes it easier for me to get dressed in the morning. This time, I took the look up a notch and paired the printed Forever 21 trousers with a fitted (red) blazer in a fun and vibrant color. I polished it off with some black pumps and a purse in a classic shape.

Sweatpants.
I received a lovely little care package from Spotted Moth a few days ago. Among the things that I picked out where these comfy sweatpants. I’ve worn them twice in a row! Is that bad? I just LOVE how comfy and chic they can be depending on how you choose to style them. This to me is a great on the go Mom look because I don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort!

Honeydew.
Here’s a holiday look I’ve put together for another shivery day. This would be my ideal outfit for a Christmas Eve party. You will find that you can embrace these frigid holidays with this festive outfit. Underneath the coat is a Little Black Dress, which goes well with my honeydew coat and black tights. I wanted the coat to be the center of attention so I went with an all black look to give the coat the limelight. I felt that if I included other colors, whether it was complementary or not, it would be fighting for attention and the look would not be as flattering. What do you guys think?
I also wanted to announce my exciting partnership with Cosmo for Latinas! I’ll be their monthly beauty blogger so stay tuned for more exciting information coming soon!

Outfit of the Day: Crisp
Today I wore an outfit that’s very crisp and clean. I’ve had these snake skin print jeans from Old Navy for quite a few months and they’ve surprised me quite a bit as to how versatile they have been. Animal prints are always a great neutral that gives more flare and attitude than a boring solid. I toned down the print of the pants by pairing them with an off white blouse with and embellished collar and a white fitted and structured blazer from Zara. Since everything is lacking in “color” I paired a bright pink lip (impassioned by MAC) on the lips for a subtle, but fun pop.

The Winter Look
Happy Sunday hot mommas!! Today I had a weird morning. Woke up around 4:50 AM because the wind outside was creating a loud roar and plenty of raucous that quite honestly had me in fear, but that’s what I get for watching ghost shows before bed. LOL. I can only blame myself. To help the case, Izek woke up around 6 AM and didn’t go back to sleep till around 10:30 AM. I don’t know, the day just seemed out of place. We’ve had been in the house all day so we decided to step outside and grab something to eat and also get some fresh air in our systems. The winds were cold and almost icy in the afternoon even thought the sun was out which gave me the perfect excuse to pull out my new coat that I bought at Macy’s a few weeks back. I fell in love with the shape because it didn’t overwhelm my small frame. What do you guys think? Is it too much with the faux fur trim? I’m kinda feeling it!
Also, I got my hair colored again! So in love and my girl Tara always hooks it up! A lot of you asked me for her info so with her permission here it is! I’m not lying when I say shes the best hair dresser in the valley in my humble opinion! We even talked about dying my hair purple, blue, or pink next time I go in. We will have to wait and see!
