Patty put this outfit on my second day in Mexico and when I saw her my eyes got so big with lust.. like a kid in a candy store!  I loved that the blouse was colorful with a little bird print, and that she wore a bright under-tank with it. The aqua really gave the blouse an extra kick! Her fitted navy pants (they look black here, but they were navy!) are super slimming, and she looked so stylish, yet professional. This is a perfect outfit for wearing at work, then running out to dinner/date night. I love every inch of it, and I especially love the model it was on! :) I’m off to find something similar, and the great part is that I already pants very similar to those!  :) Happy Tuesday!

Patty llevó este look mi segundo día en México y inmediatamente me enamoré con cada pieza de su ropa! Me encanta que la blusa tiene tantos colores en cada pajarito, y la camiseta sin mangas del color aqua añade un toque brillante. Sus pantalones (son azul marinos, aunque aparecen negros en estas fotos) son de moda y profesional, ya que le quedan perfectos. Este look, en mi opinión, es perfecto para ir al trabajo, y después salir para una noche con amigas. ¡Qué combinación! Adoro cada pulgada de su ropa y amo especialmente a la mujer que lo lleva :) Y muchas gracias a Patty por permitirme sacar estas fotos! :) Y ahora: quiero encontrar algo similar y lo bueno es que ya tengo pantalones como suyas! Feliz día martes amigos!

I have a few pieces in my closet that I would call chartreuse… or lemon-lime! I paired-up these two to make a monochromatic look of all one solid color. It is bright and cheerful and perfect for warmer days. I wore this look the last week I was in Boston before heading to Mexico and I definitely will repeat it when I return! I usually wear my peplum tops with pants, but I love the idea of wearing them paired with skirts or over dresses. I’ll be sure to try the later out soon!

Hope you’re having a great day, thanks for reading! Mexico pictures to come….

Tengo unas piezas de ropa en mi closet que son chartreuse… o mejor, lima-limon! Combiné estas dos piezas para crear un look monocromático. Es brillante y perfecto para los días de sol. Llevé ese look la semana pasada, antes de irme a México, y sé que voy a volver a llevarlo otra vez. Normalmente, llevo mis camisas peplum con pantalones, pero me encanta la idea de llevarlas con faldas y vestidos.

Espero que estén teniendo buenos días y gracias por leer. Fotos de México ya vienen…

I’m giving away a Stella & Dot Renegade Cluster Bracelet to one of YOU- winner’s choice of gold or silver! I wear this bracelet in about 90% of my posts… literally, everyday, and I love it!

The spikes are edgy, but they aren’t over-the-top… it’s very playful and unexpected! I love pairing this with other bracelets, but it can definitely stand on its own as well.

I dressed-up our sushi date Friday night with a bow scarf… Really, it is a regular scarf (worn here) that I tied into a bow necklace. Figured I would try something new! For more great ideas on wearing a scarf, check out Wendy’s Lookbook and her video here. Amazingly talented!

And if you’re wondering about the sushi.. well all I can say is YUMMM. :) It was so fresh and perfect for a warm, almost summer, night. My favorite is the spicy crunchy salmon haha!

Stay tuned for my very FIRST GIVEAWAY on Friday in honor of my Birthday on Saturday… here’s a hint: it’s my favorite bracelet!! :D

Matt y yo salimos el viernes para comer sushi y llevé mi bufanda en manera de moño para crear un look que era pulido sino casual. La bufanda no es nada especial, pero quería llevarlo de otra manera, porque la última vez la llevé normal (ver aquí). Para más maneras de llevar bufandas, deben ver este video que fue hecho por Wendy’s Lookbook… que talentosa!

Y si están pensando en el sushi… mmmmm fue delicioso! :) Era fresco y riquísimo.. perfecto para el clima cálido. Mi sushi favorito es el salmón picante crujiente… mmm!!

Mantengan atención porque mañana tendré mi PRIMER GIVEAWAY para mi cumpleaños el sábado… Para darles una pista: es mi pulsera favorita!! :D

I promise this skirt was neatly ironed prior to wearing it.. after sitting all day though, it came out like this! :\

La Mariposa

For the days that I don’t know what to wear and just need to get ready quickly, I use my go-to nine-to-five look: A blouse with a pencil skirt. This look never fails. Never! … When it doubt, go for it! It’s a classic combination that looks great on many figures.  Side note: For those of you who have the lovely hips/a booty like I do (ohhh how I hate love my hourglass figure…), I recommend you buy your skirt a size up or two (so it fits your hips properly) and take the waist in. I do this with almost all of my skirts and yes, it is annoying, but tailoring and fit is everything to a look. You can’t get away with wearing a pencil skirt at work if it is suctioned across your rear-end, so if you’ve got junk-in-the-trunk, find yourself a tailor! :) And once the skirt fits well, you can easily get by wearing bold colors… the silhouette is very professional, so feel free to add some personality to that long work day with cobalt blue, pink, coral, yellow… you get the idea! What’s your easy 9-5 look?

Thanks for stopping by!

-Rach

Para los días en que no tengo ninguna idea de lo que quiero llevar, uso mi “go-to look: Una blusa y una falda de lápiz. Nunca fracasa… es un look fácil y tiene éxito! La combinación es clásica para muchos estilos de cuerpo.  Ojo: Si tienen una cadera y pompas también, les recomiendo que compren su falda un tamaño más grande y ajusten la cintura- sé que no es ideal, pero es importante que se quede bien por todas partes la falda. No pueden llevar una falda apretada al trabajo o no parecerían profesional, verdad? Así que encuentren un sastre! Y cuando les queden bien sus faldas, las pueden combinar con colores brillantes. Ya que la silueta es profesional, no hay problema en llevar unos colores… Siguen luciendo profesional, pero con personalidad. Que look llevan ustedes para el trabajo a 9-5?

Gracias por leer!

I wore this shirt and scarf combo twice during the past week… whoops! I just love it that much! My mom said I was like a box of crayons when I wore it with my red-orange lip color, because I was sporting so many colors. Hilarious! I have always been a lover of the rainbow.. I guess I just love too many colors to choose!

The second time I wore this combo I went to a fun little fashion event at Marshall’s out here in Boston, hosted with I am Khatu, Extra Petite, Neat Bit, Mon Petit Chou Chou… all awesome bloggers from the area that I was very happy to meet. There were of course tons of other fashionistas and bloggers around as well, all of which I had a great time getting to know. I can’t wait for more events like that!

I hope you all had great weekends! Happy Belated Mother’s Day!

Llevaba esta combinación de camisa y bufanda dos veces la semana pasada.. oops! Supongo que la amo demasiado. Mi mami me dijo que me parecía a una caja de lápices de colores.. jaja! Es que me encantan los arco irises, y no puedo decidir entre colores!

La segunda vez que la llevaba esta combinación fue en un evento de la moda en Marshalls con I am Khatu, Extra Petite, Neat Bit, Mon Petit Chou Chou… todos son blogs que amo. Había muchas fashionistas y bloggers del area de Boston, y estaba muy feliz de conocerlas. Muchas chicas impresionantes! Espero otros eventos como esa.. fue muy divertido!

Espero que hayan tenido un buen fin de semana! Feliz día de la madre (atrasado)!
