LITTLE MISS BOW TIE CHIC

So I ended up staying in Miami much longer than planed. I was supposed to go back to Guatemala today but my Cuban family surprised me here and now I'm staying till December 23 so I can spend my birthday in Miami and celebrate it with some of my favorite people. Here's another one of my fashion adventures "Little Miss Bow Tie Chic". I've always been a huge fan of the lady-gentleman look so I hope you like it and maybe feel inspired to try something similar yourself. 

Resulta ser que paré quedándome en Miami más tiempo de lo planeado. Se suponía que yo regresaría a Guatemala hoy pero mi familia cubana me sorprendió aquí y ahora me quedo hasta el 23 de diciembre para poder pasar mi cumpleaños aquí y celebrarlo con algunas de mis personas favoritas. He aquí una otra de mis aventuras de moda "Little Miss Bow Tie Chic". Siempre he sido una fan del look dama-caballero así que espero que les guste y quizás se sientan inspiradas a probar algo similar.

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS

Yesterday we shot a christmas commercial for Canal Antigua, the TV network I work for. We had to dress wintery and festive. I said: no red, definitely no bells, and no Santa Claus hats for me thank you. 

This is what I chose to wear. My friends from the network said I looked like a character from the film "Midnight in Paris." How come I always end up looking vintage, I don't do it intentionally, it just happens. By the way, it was sooooo cold! I froze my buttocks! 

El día de ayer grabamos un comercial de navidad para Canal Antigua, el canal de TV para el cual trabajo. Tuvimos que vestirnos invernales y festivos. Yo dije: nada rojo, definitivamente nada de campanas y nada de sombreros de Santa Claus para mi gracias.

Esto es lo que elegí vestir. Mis amigas del canal dijeron que parecía un personaje de la película "Midnight in Paris." Por que será que siempre termino viéndome vintage, no lo hago intencional, simplemente sucede. Por cierto, estaba friiiiisimo! Me congelé las nalgas!

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 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.

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 RED TROPICALISIMA

I have to admit that most of the time I wish I could go out wearing less clothes than I regularly do but living in Guatemala doesn't really allow me to be as free as I would want to be lol! Don't get me wrong I have no intention of becoming a porn star anytime soon but a little bit more flesh wouldn't kill anyone (of course it wouldn't). So for this week's Little Miss Red Fashion Adventures session I decided to man up and bare some skin. I love tropical places and everything they embody, except for really bad hair days when it gets too humid. This type of outfits are my favorite they're sexy and feminine and still classy. Now you know what to do with your favorite sheer maxi skirt the next time you go to a tropical place. Remember that if you feel confident and sexy everyone else will think the same, it's contagious.

ORGANIC EXPERIENCE

On Friday I had my hair color done courtesy of SIMPLY ORGANIC. A couple of days before my organic experience I had a meeting with two lovely ladies behind SIMPLY ORGANIC in Guatemala to discuss some ideas regarding PR for this magnificent product. I said to them: I'm in desperate need to color my hair red again so why don't I try it and speak for myself about it. Needless to say on Friday I arrived all excited to Salon Estilos where Marianne was already waiting for me. We chose the right tone of red, I got comfy on my chair, and then Marianne applied some aromatherapy drops on my face and hands that had a citrusy scent and felt absolutely wonderful. After my hair wash I enjoyed a SIMPLY ORGANIC hair nourishing ritual followed by a scalp massage that felt heavenly. I couldn't have been any happier. 

SIMPLY ORGANIC is a safer and healthier way to color and treat your hair. SIMPLY ORGANIC is free of ammonia, petrochemicals and other added fragrances. It's as good as any other regular product if not more, and it leaves your hair feeling healthy and looking shiny. 

My hair is so intensely red that I think I have been scaring people inside elevators lol! Last thing they think they're gonna bump into inside an elevator is a 5"9 girl with really bright red hair lol! But I did gett a lot of compliments from other women at the salon and I love it, which at the end of the day is the most important thing. 

SIMPLY ORGANIC is distributed in some of the best salons in Guatemala. Ask your hairstylist if they carry it and if they don't I highly recommend that you pay Salon Estilos a visit.

Thank you SIMPLY ORGANIC for my organic hair experience!!!

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.

MADEMOISELLE RED

For our first session together Shanila and I decided we could have our photo shoot at her place, I'd never been to Shanila's house but I'd heard really good things about it, and plus I know she's a professional so I of course said yes, I always trust the people I work with, there's a reason I decided to work with them on the first place.

When I finally got there I see this beautiful white mediterranean inspired house with blue doors, I instantly fell in love with it.  Because of the whole style and idea of my outfit we decided to go upstairs and have our session on the terrace where there was a lot of light and texture on the walls and floor. 

I wanted to portray a modern day mademoiselle who finds inspiration in moments of solitude and who at times needs to set herself apart from the world to find comfort and inner peace in the arms of tranquility.

Shanila is such a talented photographer that this project is bound to be good so you have to stay tuned for what's coming up on Style by Red because this is only the beginning.

TODAY'S OUTFIT: SAILOR STRIPES AND NEON

This morning I was rushing to get to a meeting not so near where I work just to find out they had stood me up! Fantastic Guatemalan formality. I can't tell you how many times I've been stood up? Why is this? Is this a Guatemalan thing? Tell me is it like this where you live.

Anyhow I was running so fast I just grabbed whatever I saw in handy. I'm not sure it's such a great mix but it did the job. Why not wear your sailor stripes with neons?
