3 ways to wear a pleated maxiskirt

The Casual Hippie with a jeans shirt.



Rockin'  it with a leather jacket and some military boots. 



Last but not least a more classy way with a silk blouse and heels.




It's amazing how one skirt can look so different depending on what you wear it with ... these are the pieces you want to have in your closet.

Party Dress


This is actually what I would wear to a rooftop party/cocktail ... sadly I don't have any rooftop event planned soon and the only cocktail I've had lately was a vitamin C cocktail but I'm still wearing this even if I do nothing and stay home (pathetic I know) which is probably what will happen cause I'm feeling terrible today.

Bows


As you all might already know, I love wrapping this around my head ... I just think it's so fun and it's a great way to give that oomph an outfit may need ... just like this one, I was wearing my red jeans and a white tee ... but when I put the scarf on it totally changed. Basically what I did was I wrapped a scarf around my head and then started tying bows. Try it !

Pre Pre Preview



I think I've been stung by the GaGa disease cause lately I've been repeating myself (e.g. the title of this blogpost) whether it's Po Po Po Poker Face ... Ale Alejandro ... Juda  Juda a as ... so enough GaGa for me , or I'll just wait till a new single comes out and hope it doesn't have a stutter. I'm kinda in a hurry so I leave you with a preview of my outfit.

Bla ...


I wasn't feeling all that colorful today because I'm still feeling a bit sick plus it's been one of those days that just nothing comes out right.... anyway I found this top at Zara a while back (and had already worn it here) and really fell in love with it because it looks Prada-ish doesn't it ??

Lovely Pastels



I guess it's about time I brought the sweet in bitter sweet and what better way than with pastels .... I'm wearing an adorable brooch from The Tulle Room which can also be worn as a hair piece ! Maybe chocolates or candy may be another great way of bringing sweet back ...

Sun Sun Sunday


I'm sorry for posting just two pictures but I'm really really sick and my face just looked bad in the other pictures; besides I feel like just laying on the couch drinking some hot tea ... I hope I get better soon ...

People For Bikes


El sábado pasado fui a la inauguración de la tienda People For Bikes en la col. Roma y estas son algunas de las fotos que tomé. La tienda está increíble es EL lugar para todo lo relacionado con las bicicletas.

Last saturday I went to he opening of People For Bikes and here are some of the pics I took. The store is amazing and it is definitely the place to be if you want a bicycle or anything related to one. 


La bici que más me gustó fue una Brompton que se dobla y aparte la puedes personalizar con los colores de arriba y mil cosas más.

My favorite bicycle is a Brompton that folds up and can be personalized with all the colors in the last picture. 




Les recomiendo mil que vayan a People For Bikes !!! Aparte andar en bici es muy ecológico y evitas el tráfico ;) Síguelos en twitter porque también tienen actividades los fines de semana.

I truly recommend People For Bikes !! Bicycles are really eco-friendly and you can avoid the obnoctious traffic of rush hours ;) Follow them on twitter cause they have tons of activities on the weekends.

Dotted Paisley


Paisley is definitely one of my favorite prints and since polka dots are so in this season (as is the top being see thru) I figured I should mix and match them ... I think it turned out just fine ... love risk taking when it comes to mixing prints.
