Speak your mind...

 When I saw Jaye Magazine, what came to mind was more of casual looks since it had a College is more than a classroom, line. But going through it the looks were formal and more office driven. Which then I thought this is great, cause when I was in college I never really thought of formal clothing and how to style it, but then for the formal events I was rushing on buying whatever would work for the event. I had only one black dress pants which I loved but used so many times that didn't last long. Now I think if you have an item that you love, don't wear it all the time, take care of it, always hand wash or take it to the cleaners, that way it will stay with you for a really long time. It's so hard to  find those unique special ones.

Esta revista pense que iba a ser una revista con moda informal pero encuentro que esta llena de looks formales como para oficina o congresos y eventos sociales semi formales. Esto me puso a pensar en lo importante que es la transición del colegio a la universidad donde uno debería de dirigir su vestimenta a looks que puedas usar para estos eventos y no tener sólo un pantalón formal que adoras o que te queda super y que le das tan duro que ya le falta poco para decirte adiós.  Cuando encuentres prendas que adoras no hagas    el típico me lo pongo tanto que parezco retrato, NO cuída la prenda, lávala a mano o llevala a la tintoreria. Así te durará más y será una prenda que te acompañara por mucho tiempo.

The Slouchy silhouette it's what makes these pants really stand out... they are sort of part of my wishlist... Although I am not sure about the floral pattern, the other ones are just perfect. A few months ago I saw a pants with this silhouette but couldn't buy it, it was blue... Sometimes you just can't buy them when you find them, but they will come to you, you just have to keep them in mind.

El look holgado de la silueta de este pantalón es lo que captura mi ojo, no mucho me gusta el estampado con flores pero los otros si me encantan. No hace mucho me tope con uno celeste liso y nolo pude comprar, a veces uno no puede comprar las cosas cuando las ve pero llegarán...

Fashion Philosophy

Thank God for fashion magazines they all give us different perspectives, and the only picture here that I think it would work wonders to change the models hair, shoes, and make up is the one with the black dress, it just so sad looking. I guess we can see how important the final complete look is for the outfit. This dress would look much better and buy-able if only it wasn't so sadly portrayed. But maybe it's just me.

Gracias a Dios porque existen las revistas de moda, me encanta ver como nos dan diferentes perspectivas y nos inspiran de algun modo con esa historia que tratan de armarnos. Sobre esta revista estos fueron los elementos que más se destacaron para mi gusto y la foto del vestido negro es la foto que menos me atrae, creo que si le hubieran puesto a la model mejores zapatos, si el maquillaje fuera diferente y el cabello de la modelo tuviera un real peinado, eso hubiera hecho la diferencia para ese vestido. Mi punto es que con esa foto nos damos cuenta de lo importante que es el escoger el look que uno le quiere dar a su ropa y como pequeños detalles marcan la diferencia.

Who I am... What I Want

My favorite perfume by Isseay Miyaki. Among other things this collage it's a very mixed trendy picks I gathered to make them part of my wishlist.
I want to add a little bit of a splash of color to my wardrobe, I think my eye usually focus on black and white. I don't know if it is because it is really plain and easy to make it work or it's just an easy way of not making my brain think on how to match what I have. With all my wish lists I'm not implying I'll buying these specific items or the brands it's more of a list to make me think out of the box, and to buy items that unique style, color or design to them.

El collage de fotos que armé tiene prendas que me gustan por su diseño, color y look. Creo que en mi closet no tengo prendas que sean únicas en color y estilo... No pretendo dar a entender que espero comprar estas prendas en específico por su marca sino mi punto esta enfoncado en no comprar por comprar sino en saber escoger. Lo único que si ya poseo es el perfume Isseay Miyaki y es mi preferido, quien lo tenga sabrá por qué...
