LITTLE MISS RED ROMANTIC PUNK

Ok! I'm back in business and noooo I wasn't abducted by aliens, I just took some time off from everything for a few days (ok, maybe more than a few). Sometimes it's strictly necessary. I went to Miami for a week and ended up staying for 20 beautiful days. I wanted to spend my birthday in Miami with family and friends (December 21st the day the world was supposed to end). The night before my birthday we went to Spris of Coral Gables where I blew my birthday candles with the family. Then on Friday we had dinner at Wynwood Kitchen & Bar and after dinner we went to Cafeina Wynwood Lounge just around the corner for a little after party. I have to say I had a lot of fun. Every time I go to Miami I have the most wonderful time and every time I come back I feel disoriented. But anyhow... enough thinking about Miami and let's concentrate on a little work (just a little, it's still December).

I know that Tuesday is our Little Miss Red Fashion Adventures day but since yesterday was Christmas and I was being a complete bum I decided to leave it for today. Here's my Little Miss Red Romantic Punk look. We all know that spikes and studs have been one of this year's most popular trends. Everywhere you go you see spikes on everything, so of course I had to create a post that included them (expect more because I bought a couple of shoes with spikes that I plan to wear on future posts). Something I love to do to create interesting looks is mixing styles. Feminine with masculine, classic with artsy, and this time is romantic with a little punk. Adding a little punk to this outfits helps tone down the girlieness of the look making it more interesting and fun. 

(Spanish version)

Ok! Estoy de vuelta y nooo no fui secuestrada por extraterrestres, solo tomé unas vacaciones por unos cuantos días (ok, quizás más de unos cuantos). Algunas veces es estrictamente necesario. Fui a Miami por una semana y terminé quedandome 20 días. Quería pasar mi cumpleaños en Miami con familia y amigos (21 de Diciembre el día que supuestamente acabaría el mundo). La noche anterior a mi cumpleaños fuimos a Spris de Coral Gables en donde soplé mis velitas de cumpleaños. Luego el viernes cenamos en Wynwood Kitchen & Bar y después de cenar nos fuimos a Cafeina Wynwood Lounge a la vuelta de la esquina para un pequeño after party. Me divertí mucho. Siempre que voy a Miami la paso lindo y cada vez que vuelvo me siento desorientada. Pero bueno... basta de pensar en Miami y concentrémonos en un poco de trabajo (solo un poco, todavía es diciembre).

Yo sé que los martes es día de Little Miss Red Fashion Adventures pero como ayer fue navidad y estaba siendo una total vaga decidí dejarlo para hoy. Aquí les tengo Little Miss Red Romantic Punk. Todos sabemos que las púas y los ataches han sido una de las tendencias más populares del año. Por donde vas puedes verlas en todo, por lo que era obvio que tenía que crear un post que las incluyera (esperen más porque compré un par de zapatos con púas y planeo usarlos en futuros posts). Algo que amo hacer es crear looks interesantes mezclando estilos. Femenino con masculino, clásico con artístico y en esta ocasión romántico con un poco de punk. Añadirle un toque de punk a este look ayuda a bajarle un poco lo niña haciéndolo más interesante y divertido.

LITTLE MISS RED VINTAGE HAT

When my grandmother passed away I inherited her very well kept collection of vintage hats. Some of them I use them as part of my room decor, others I keep in a box and bring out only on special occasions like this one. 

Cuando mi abuela falleció heredé su muy bien cuidada colección de sombreros. Algunos de ellos los uso como parte de la decoración de mi cuarto, otros los mantengo guardados en una caja y saco únicamente en ocasiones especiales como esta.

LITTLE MISS RED ROCKSTAR PUNK

Ok, so I've always wanted to have a sort of bad ass rockstar look but somehow I always end up looking   romantic and vintage. Maybe it's because everything in mi closet is either romantic, vintage or bohemian. If I wanted to change my look to bad ass rock I would have to give away 90% of the things I own, which is not happening anytime soon because I don't have a hefty shopping budget lol! I guess I could start with baby steps, incorporating some rock star items to my wardrobe. My wish list include: a biker leather jacket, a biker leather vest, biker leather boots, studded sneakers, studded accessories (in fact anything studded), and perhaps a motorcycle, a pierced nose and a tatoo (ok maybe not). With those things and the ones I already have I could come up with a pretty cool vintage-romantic-rockstar look. Wadda ya think? Meanwhile back at the ranch, this is as rockstar punk as I get lol! I like it! Specially my frizzy 80's hair brought to you by my wonderful hair stylist Fernanda. 

Ok, debo admitir que siempre he querido tener un look a lo estrella de rock pero por alguna razón siempre termino con un look romántico y vintage. Quizás sea porque todo lo que tengo en mi closet es romántico, vintage o bohemio. Si quisiera cambiar mi look a estrella de rock tendría que regalar el 90% de lo que tengo, lo cual no va a suceder en un futuro cercano porque no tengo un presupuesto de compras robusto jaja! Creo que podría empezar dando pasos pequeñitos, incorporando algunos artículos rock a mi actual guardarropa. My lista de compras que quisiera hacer incluye: una chaqueta de cuero al estilo biker, un chaleco de cuero al estilo biker, unas botas de cuero al estilo biker, unos zapatos tenis con tachuelas, uno que otro accesorio con tachuelas (de hecho cualquier cosa con tachuelas) y quizás una moto, un arete en la nariz y un tatuaje (ok quizás no). Si mezclo estas cosas con las que tengo actualmente en mi guardarropa podría crear un look vintage-romántico-rock muy interesante. Que piensan? Mientras tanto esto es lo más estrella de rock punk que logro ser haha! Me gusta! Especialmente mi cabello frizz estilo 80's cortesía de mi fabulosa estilista Fernanda.

LITTLE MISS RED AND THE LEMON TREE

This Past Friday Shanila and I went to our friend Fernanda Gomar's house to have our Little Miss Red Fashion Adventures monthly photo shoot session. Due to our busy schedules we always try to take advantage of the whole afternoon to shoot enough material for an entire month, that is if the weather allows us. This past couple of months have been quite challenging because of the weather in Guatemala. Most of the time it rains and so we find ourselves forced to either cancel the shoot earlier than planned or change locations. No matter what we always try to be as creative as we can possibly be considering the circumstances. However I don't know why every time we go to Fernanda's house we always get the best weather. The first time shooting there we came up with Little Miss Vintage Traveler, Little Miss Red Pitaya and Little Mis red Tropicalisima, until now those have been my 3 favorite posts since we started, except for the very first one Mademoiselle Red which is my all time favorite one.  This time I think we came up with some pretty cool material as well. Today I give you LITTLE MISS RED AND THE LEMON TREE. How gorgeous are those lemons in the pictures!!! And how gorgeous is my fro too of course lol!!! Expect more 80's inspired frizzy hair in future LMR posts.

Who knows what she'll be up to next time, meanwhile this is how Miss Red does her laundry.

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.

LITTLE MISS BOHEMIAN RED

On our first edition of "Little Miss Red Fashion Adventures" we decided (my team and I) to welcome you to this very exciting series with a Mademoiselle Red kind of look. Who is Mademoiselle Red? She is a classic, modern, and sophisticated woman who's not afraid to be who she is, a woman of her own. 

Today Miss Red takes on a very different character, just like she does every single day when she wakes up, always without loosing herself and her own identity. Fashion is nothing but an extension of ourselves, a way thru which we can express our own individualistic, creative, romantic, dramatic, or classic personalities. That's the beauty of fashion, it's not about expensive labels (which of course we love because their beautiful) its about being able to be who you want to be.

In this edition of "Little Miss Red Fashion Adventures" I decided to go for a romantic bohemian kind of look. Bohemian style is never, never about pouring yourself into the clothes someone else thinks you should wear. Bohemian style is for free spirited people who please themselves instead of conforming. It suits individualistic, creative, and unconventional lifestyles. It's about feeling comfortable and always being ready for your next adventure.
