faux-leather pants: Nordstrom
shoes: BCBG
sunglasses: Kate Spade
I am totally into faux leather pants/leggings right now. They dress up an outfit during fall/winter, are very comfortable (because they stretch!), and add a trendy sophisticated vibe to your look. Simply add a long sleeves blouse or a neutral sweater, and you are ready to walk out the door.
These pants have been my favorite to wear on a Friday or Saturday night, I love them! I chose to top off my outfit with a drape-front jacket, I find these to be more elegant & feminine than the regular moto jackets. To be honest, I have yet to find a moto jacket that I like…!
Christmas is only one week away!! The Christmas page of my blog is updated daily and has lots of gift ideas!! Take a look, HERE. Does anyone else leave all Christmas shopping till the last minute?? This weekend I was not able to shop because I had to work. Regardless, for the last decade, I’ve been doing my shopping on Xmas Eve!!! I seem to be very consistent in that area.

sweater dress: ZARA, option 1, option 2, option 3
over the knee boots: GUESS
belt: THE LIMITED, similar skinny belt
floppy hat: H&M, same floppy style
Happy weekend!! Over the knee boots are The-Most-Wanted boots this fall / winter. In today’s post I wanted to show the easiest way to make a statement in a pair of trendy boots that are daring and effortlessly cool. To create the look you will only need one article of clothing – pretty easy, right? 😉 Although there are many ways to style over the knee boots, my ultimate favorite is when I pair them with a sweater dress! The best part about sweater dresses is that they are sold everywhere, in every color, and at every price point. I linked options in the widget below, take a look! *My tip for wearing sweater dresses is to add a thin belt (to countour your waist area and to shape it).
So I styled a fashionably chic look with soft and comfortable over the knee boots from GUESS. The ones that I am wearing come in black and in camel, and I went up a size – for extra comfort. You can pair these boots with any color sweater dress, or a suede mini-skirt, a floral dress, a shift dress, slip them over leggings or skinny jeans, the possibilities are endless! Do you wear them? What color do you prefer them in: black, brown, or grey?? Tell me in the comments section below, and have a great weekend!

Happy Sunday! Today I am sharing the First Holiday Look for this Holiday Season! I am the kind of girl that welcomes sequins all year round AND wears them even when they are not in style (I love them!). For this first look I paired a black sequin pencil skirt with a boat neck sweater of the same color (only $ 12.00!), and a pair of basic black pumps. To brighten up the outfit I added an adorable vintage gold purse!! This is the outfit that I plan on wearing either on Nochebuena (Christmas Eve!), on Christmas Day, or on New Year’s Eve, I have yet to make my final decision! Anyone else wearing sequins this holiday season?? And by the way, until December 31st my blog’s Boutique is being updated daily with tons of holiday gift ideas!! Check it out, HERE.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Just can’t believe the holidays are upon us! I am super excited about spending the four day weekend with my family. Will start my Thanksgiving Day in the kitchen, preparing a Pumpkin Bread to share with everyone. Last year I cooked one, and it turned out delicious. I am hoping for the same outcome today! 😉
Here are two stunning outfits to wear tonight, both from Farfetch. Farfetch is an international fashion website that can definitely take your wardrobe to new heights. Not only does it have a huge selection of luxury designer fashion for women and men, it also carries a collection of the Most Iconic vintage items from designers such as Celine, Chanel, Hermes, Yves Saint Laurent, and dozens more.

Having a strict fitness routine has always been extremely important for me, so I am very consistent with it. It motivates me, distracts me from daily stuff, keeps me healthy, and fit. The first Zumba classes that I ever took were when I was 14 years old… and I have not stopped working out since then. I used to ask my parents to drive me to the local Athletic Club four times a week, Steps and Zumba were my favorite classes. A few years later I got into Bikram Yoga, and did that weekly for two years. Then I got hooked on Spinning classes, which I did for another 2-3 years. After we moved, I started high-impact classes at a different gym. And for the last few years I have been loving Boot-Camp classes.
For those of you with a similar fitness routine (or that would love to start one!), I recommend getting cute workout outfits to help get you motivated!! If you are not sure which classes to sign up for, I suggest to try them all once to see where you feel most comfortable at. Many gyms offer free classes or a trial period. There are tons of gyms, I chose whichever is located closest to my house (only a 5 – 10 minute drive). Make it easy on yourself – so that you can keep your fitness routine going. 😉
If you do not have any gym nearby, and you have pets, walk them! This is truly a Win-Win situation, the pups get their exercise and so do you! I have two big pups (adopted / rescued), and because I want them to be healthy & happy, I walk them 2-3 miles each time, 3-4 times per week.
Living without a yard has been a fantastic excuse for me to spend more time outside enjoying and appreciating nature – thanks to my pups, of course. I also read recently that taking a walk with your dog outside 15-30 min daily is therapeutic. #adoptdontshop
Ah! I recommend the Citrus-Zinger Infuser Bottle that you see above. For the last months I had been searching for an infuser bottle made specifically for citrus fruits – to give the water a real fruit infused flavor. It’s very easy to use and wash, so I even take it to work. I purchased it at a local store, and I linked it right here for you guys! (Only 15.99!).
