ALWAYS CLASSIC CHANEL

When I see this image I instantly think of eternal style. Books and Chanel shoes will never be out of style, specially this one's. These shoes could've been worn by a mademoiselle from the 1940's. I bought them about 4 years ago and I wear them all the time. You've seen me wearing them on various occasions in this blog, they are one of the greatest things I've ever bought (that and my Prada handbag that I wear all the time but admit I already need to buy another one). 


Cuando veo esta imagen instantáneamente pienso en estilo eterno. Los libros y zapatos Chanel nunca van a pasar de moda, especialmente estos. Estos zapatos podrían los podría haber usado una mademoiselle en 1940. Los compré hace unos 4 años y los uso todo el tiempo. Ustedes me han visto usándolos en este blog en varias ocasiones, son una de las mejores compras que he hecho (estos y mi bolsa Prada la cual llevo todo el tiempo conmigo pero que admito que ha llegado el momento de comprar otra).

FASHION EDITORIAL OF THE WEEK: ANTHEMOESSA

I just recently found out about Grey magazine thru Garance Doré. She spoke so highly of it that I thought I needed to see the magazine for myself. Of course since there's absolutely no way I could ever find that magazine in Guatemala I had to look it up online. Sometimes I get overwhelmed thinking about all the great magazines I have absolutely no knowledge of their existence. I wish I had easy access to all of them (easy physical access, I still like to go thru the pages of a magazine and collect them). 

Anyways... I visited their website and completely fell in love with their aesthetics. It's refreshing to find magazines that still maintain a true identity and creative integrity. For this week's fashion editorial of the week post I chose one of Grey Magazine's fashion editorial.  I highly recommend that you visit the magazine online and delight yourself going thru their photographs and other interesting and intelligent content. 

To learn more about the designers in this editorial visit Grey.


Recientemente supe de la existencia de Grey Magazine a través de Garance Doré. Habló tan bien de la reviste que pensé que tenía que verla con mis propios ojos. Por supuesto, como es imposible encontrar una revista como esa en Guatemala tuve que buscarla en línea. Aveces me abruma pensar en todas las revistas increíbles de las cuales no tengo conocimiento de su existencia. Desearía poder tener fácil acceso a todas ellas (fácil acceso físico, todavía soy de las que me gusta pasar las páginas de una revista y coleccionarlas).

En fin... Visité su página web y me enamoré completamente con su estética. Es refrescante encontrar revistas que aún mantienen una verdadera identidad e integridad artística. Para el editorial de moda de esta semana elegí uno editorial de la revista Grey. Les recomiendo que visiten la revista en línea y se deleiten viendo sus fotografías y otros contenidos interesantes e inteligentes. 

Si deseas aprender más sobre los diseñadores en este editorial visita Grey.

FASHION EDITORIAL OF THE WEEK: ELLE POLAND NOVEMBER 2012

Who would've thought the Polish where so chic (excuse my ignorance) How fantastic is this fashion editorial for Elle Poland. I absolutely adore the styling. Not only the styling, the photography is also beautiful. I love it when fashion editorials go on a field trip. If we dressed like this every time we traveled we would most definitely get upgraded to first class always. Oh wait? If we dressed like this every time we traveled we would most definitely do so in our own private jets, no commercial anything! The styling of this editorial is like a Sex and the City movie on steroids! Ok, I'm lying, a Sex and the City movie styling is far way crazier than this, this is chic with a touch of craziness. This editorial literally has every single amazing designer out there (Miu Miu, Lanvin, Marni, Jil Sander, Valentino, Chanel, Alexander McQueen...). This editorial really is every girls dream. 

Quién diría que los polacos eran personas tan chic (perdón mi ignorancia). Qué fantástico es este editorial de modas para le revista Elle Polonia. Adoro el styling. No solamente adoro el styling, la fotografía también me parece que es hermosa. Amo cuando los editoriales de moda se van de excursión. Si vistiéramos así cada vez que viajáramos seguramente seríamos elevadas de categoría a primera clase. Un momento, si vistiéramos así cada vez que viajáramos lo haríamos en nuestro propio jet privado, nada comercial! El styling the este editorial es como una película de Sexo en la Ciudad en esteroides! Ok, quizás miento, el styling de una película de Sexo en la Ciudad es mucho más loco que esto. Esto es chic con una dosis de locura. Este editorial tiene literalmente todos los diseñadores más increíbles que existen (Miu Miu, Lanvin, Marni, Jil Sander, Valentino, Chanel, Alexander McQueen...). Este editorial es realmente el sueño de toda chica.

LITTLE MISS VINTAGE TRAVELER

Good morning everyone! I was a little bit absent for a couple of days but I'm back. Today I'm excited because it's Little Miss Red Fashion Adventures Tuesday. This time my team of creative people, my photographer Shanila, and my hair and makeup artist Fernanda really did an amazing job! They always do but I specially loooove today's shoot and I know you guys are gonna love it too. I feel very blessed by God because he has put in my life the best and most creative people to work with without whom I couldn't do this. For a very long time I worked by myself, I styled myself, did my own hair and makeup, took my own pictures, the works. In a way it was rewarding because it made me feel sufficient but it feels so much better to be part of a team than to be a loner. I still style myself but now I have two other creative minds working together with me. 

Today's shoot was inspired by how elegant and sophisticated people dressed in past decades when they traveled. Traveling was quite an event and it required that you played the part. The outfit I'm wearing was a gift from my dad to my mom, he bought it for her at Harvey Nichols in London while on their honeymoon. The camera case belonged to my father, and the luggage belonged to my grandmothers, they traveled with them when they came to live to Guatemala years and years ago. This is undoubtedly a photo shoot filled with history which is really what makes it so special.

I give you LITTLE MISS VINTAGE TRAVELER.

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.

NEW PROJECT ON STYLE BY RED!!!

Ladies and gentleman I'm so happy to announce that today I start a new project on Style by Red with my friend and photographer Shanila Menendez. I'm so excited that I'm finally having a professional photographer as good as Shanila take my picture in a different scenery other than my room. The idea of this project is to show you some of my favorite outfits in some of my favorite hidden places in Guatemala. 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. 

Here's a sneak peek at what I'll be wearing for today's photo shoot.

BLUE LACE AND CHANEL

Last year I bought this beautiful blue lace dress at Zara, just about the time when I started to pay more attention to figure hugging dresses. Today I was going thru my closet and found it. What I love the most about this dress is that it's very feminine and sexy at the same time, plus the color makes my eyes and hair pop out. In the past I've worn it with cow boy boots for a more fun and laid back look, I love making those kind of interesting contrasts.  Today I'm in the mood to dress up so I'm just gonna have to go out this week to wear it, with a better hairdo though, this is my "I have to leave the house in a hurry and don't have time to do my hair kind of hairdo."

ACCESSORIES: BLACK AND GOLD

Remember I told you about my new Zara flats? Well... Yesterday I was ready to wear them with my LBD, little Chanel bag and Massimo Dutti hat (which by the way I'm glad I didn't wear it because...what was I thinking I could've melted my head with that thing on lol!) when I noticed that that my left foot felt a little bit tighter and so I thought: wait a minute! This shoe is smaller than the other! I looked and in fact it was! Now I have to back and see if they can give me a left shoe on the right size, if not, I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do, I guess I'll just use them as part of my room decor lol!

CHANEL 2012-2013 CRUISE COLLECTION: SNEAKER TREND

I told you people that wearing sneakers was in style and by the looks of it next year it's still gonna be hot. This time Karl Lagerfeld really took it to another level with platform heels in soft pastel tones to match his collection. Another hint....apparently pastels are still making an appearance in this september runways, we'll see. I for one am glad about this trend cause I like it a lot, and it's evidence that designers really do get their inspiration from street style and not the other way around like it used to be years ago. The street rules now!!!
