CAPS AND HATS

Good morning stylish people all over! This has been a good week. I feel full of energy, new ideas, and hope for the future, I wish the same for y'all.

Today I saw this feature about DRIVERS CAPS on Who What Wear. I was so happy to see it because I have a huge collection of hats and caps like this one's and it gave me a lot of good ideas for today's photo shoot with my talented and gorgeous photographer Shánila. 

Last week we couldn't take any pictures because we where both so busy and when we finally found some time the weather got awful, so I apologize for no Little Miss Red post this week but the next following weeks are gonna be good.

Here's a peek at some of the props I'm using for today's photo shoot.

SHAPEWEAR 101- BRA BASICS

Lingerie serves two very important but totally different roles in your wardrobe. First, the right undergarment can lift, hold in, smooth out and enhance your body's natural attributes. And second, lingerie can make you feel prettier, sexier and more feminine, and it's always worth remembering that when you feel good, you look good too.

Everyday bras and panties are an obvious must, but you also need a core group of problem solving pieces, such as seamless underwear and other shapewear. They're your wardrobe's secret weapons, the unseen items that let you pull on your slinky or low-cut dresses with total confidence. Of course, you deserve a few fun "little nothings" as well, perhaps to wear with little (or nothing) else. 

In Style "The New Secrets of Style"

Your complete guide to dressing your best every day

By the editors of In Style 

Most of the time us women worry too much about the outside without giving proper attention to what we are wearing on the inside. Proper shapewear is the fundamentals of style, it all starts there. Here's a little bra lesson.

1. Push-Up- Padding can be in different places (along the sides, underneath or all over) to lift and/or push the breast together.

2. Padded- This type of bra features either fiberfill, gel or air padding, which works to make the breasts appear larger.

3. Underwire- This bra has flexible (metal or plastic) wire sewn under the bottom of cups to lift, separate and support breast.

4. Soft Cup- A bra without structure, underwire, padding or molded cups, the soft-cup is very comfortable but offers minimal support.

5. Strapless- The bandeau style has side bands and no straps. Versions are available both with and without underwires.

6. Demi-Cup- A style that just covers the nipples and has wider set traps, this model leaves the upper half of the breasts fully exposed.

7. Plunging- For your low cut numbers, this bra features a deep and wide V shape, and the band sits lower on the rib cage.

8. T-Shirt- A bra with molded or contour cups, it creates a smooth finish under even the lightest of tops.

WORKING GIRL 101 (STRUCTURED HANDBAGS)

I always say every stylish girl should own a good quality structured handbag, specially if you're a professional girl working in banking, finance, law, government, and other such conservative fields of work. It doesn't have to be expensive but it does have to look good. Remember that image plays a huge part on how far you get ahead in life, obviously mixed up with a lot of hard work, good connections, and a little bit of luck from above. 

A "Structured Handbag" is also called a "Ladylike Handbag." It is a handbag with reinforced leather so that it holds it's shape, it often has short straps that you either hold or dangle from your arm. Some also come with long chain straps to wear over the shoulder. A structured ladylike handbag is sleek, chic and feminine, and it's supposed to last you a lifetime. It is a power statement and projects both sophistication and polish. Even if you're not a working girl this type of handbag elevates any simple look to higher levels. 

Here are two looks that demonstrate the power of a good structured ladylike handbag on duty and off duty.

INITIAL PENDANTS

Are you the type of girl that likes to put her initials on everything including your underwear? Well... I'm not that type of gal but I have to admit that I do like to carry my initials around my neck. A while ago I bought a locket at C'SANTOS with my initials and everyone compliments me on it all the time. It really is just the most simple and classic thing to wear but also very beautiful and timeless. Today I wanted to share with you the different types of initial pendants and lockets you can find at C'Santos, it could be either for you or just the perfect gift to give to someone you care about. Take a look...

SEXY URBAN CHIC

Let's admit it ladies, we love sexy clothes and high heels and all but most of the time what we really want is to feel comfortable. Some ladies believe that being comfortable means wearing awful clothes and looking like this...

Someone please call the hideous patrol! Some things are not even considered appropriate for the gym. Just cause you're gonna go exercise doesn't mean you have to look like a sack of potatoes, a sweaty and smelly sack of potatoes!

No ladies, you can dress comfortable and still look sexy. I find that few things are as sexy and comfortable as a classic (nicely fitted) white t-shirt, jeans and a black leather jacket. Now that there's a whole array of cool fashion sneakers to choose from, even better. I'm definitely in for a loo like this one. Are you?

Like the handbag? Visit CLOROFILA STORE on Facebook for more cool and affordable style. Being cool and stylish doesn't have to cost a lot (ok, maybe sometimes yes lol!).

Hope you like it and have a lovely Wednesday!

LITTLE MISS FINISHING SCHOOL

Good morning everyone! It's Little Miss Red Fashion Adventures Tuesday.  Like I told you yesterday, on this occasion Little Miss Red is sent to finishing school to learn how to be a stylish and educated lady (although she already was). From walking up straight to how to become a charming hostess she learned it all. I guess a little finishing school doesn't hurt anyone, not even free spirited Little Miss Red.

SNEAKER MANIA CONTINUES

Guilty as charged! I'm a victim of the skirts, dresses, and everything else with sneakers trend. I find myself fantasizing at all times about all sorts of sneakers, neon Nike sneakers, Adidas with wings sneakers (have you seen them? They are absolutely crazy), Isabel Marant red leather and suede snekares, Miu Miu glitter finished leather sneakers , Giuseppe Zanotti python-print leather hight tops, Pierre Hardy leopard print high tops, Yves Saint Laurent studded suede and patent leather high tops... you name it! I like them all! Aaaaaand I want them all wuuuaaaaa!

Today I found this image on Lee Oliveira's street style photography blog and I thought whomever it is she's really rocking it. Don't ya think? If you don't like it just keep it to yourself, no need to trash anyone. 

Who said you can't wear Nike sneakers other than to go run a marathon.

LITTLE MISS RED PITAYA

Can't you tell tropical chic is my favorite look of all? What's not to like about it? In faaaact, what's not to like about everything tropical! Tropical weather, tropical food, tropical beverages, tropical music, tropical colors, tropical people, everything! I love it! I'm always funner in tropical places (and on Saturday's, random fact).

Anyhow... Today's look is a combination of colorful fun pieces with more classic and understated ones, which proves amazingly well how versatile a blazer and a pair of jeans can be, they truly are two of the most important pieces any woman should own. 

A while ago I found a little jewelry box filled with vintage watches that used to belong to my dad. I thought to myself...If someone out there invented the stackable bracelets trend why not come up with my own stackable vintage watches trend? Needless to say I did (ok, I'm sure someone else has already done it). I had to do something with all those watches. Of course there isn't a  day I don't bump into someone who feels compelled to ask why the hell I'm wearing 4 watches that don't work lol! This reminds me of the time my cousin got married and I decided to wear a very eye catching head piece with black feathers sticking out, everyone kept on asking me how many black crows I had killed to make my headpiece. Did I care? NO! I looked stunning! Always go with your instinct but if you're not so sure about it and need some encouragement, contact me! I can help you become your most stylish self. 

I give you Little Miss Red Pitaya! 

What the hell is pitaya? For those of you who have never heard of it pitaya is an exotic fruit very common of our region, another tropical wonder.

KONSTANTINO AT C'SANTOS

For this week's C'Santos post I want to introduce you to a new line from Greek jewelry designer Konstantino. His designs are so exquisite you'll even find them at high end department stores like Neiman Marcus. Everything is elaborated 100% in silver, you can feel the weight when you hold them. Some pieces have been 18-karat gold plated with black onyx stones and pearls. Konstantino is the latest in C'Santos and I thought you should know it. You know I always let you know about the latest and greatest in fashion and design in Guatemala. Pay a visit to C'Santos and take a look at this new extraordinary collection.
