MADEMOISELLE GUATEMALA

One of the most beautiful things we have in Guatemala (aside from our wonderful weather, amazing landscapes, friendly people...) are our one of a kind textiles, each one more beautiful than the other one, and each one with it's own powerful meaning. There's years and years of history behind them. Even though lately they have become the stylish thing to wear (clothes, shoes, handbags, accessories...) I've always loved them. I like to mix traditional pieces with other contemporary ones. Here's a dress I bought a couple of years ago at Museo Ixchel, I mixed it up with my Kenzo belt and a yellow scarf as turban (I love wearing things on my head). I hope you feel inspired to do a mixing of your own. 

Una de las cosas más bellas que tenemos en Guatemala (además de su clima maravilloso, hermosos paisajes, gente amigable...) son nuestros textiles únicos, cada uno más lindo que el otro y cada uno con su propio significado poderoso. Hay años de años de historia detrás de ellos. Aunque recientemente se han convertido en algo estiloso de llevar puesto (ropa, zapatos, bolsos, accesorios...) siempre me han gustado y me encanta mezclar piezas tradicionales con otras contemporáneas. Aquí tengo un vestido que compré hace un par de años en el Museo Ixchel, lo mezclé con mi cinturón Kenzo y con una chalina amarilla como turbante (amo usar cosas en la cabeza). Espero ustedes también se sientan inspirados a hacer sus propias mezclas.

STYLING FOR PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

I've always been of the opinion that everyone should have their picture taken with a professional photographer at least once a year (in my case it would be several times a year lol!). A photograph is a beautiful memory to keep that speaks vividly of a certain and very specific time of your life. I lost my father two and a half years ago and one the things that I enjoy doing the most is looking at photographs of him and my grandparents. Thru them I'm able to imagine the story of their lives. Imagine if I didn't have those pictures? 

I want to introduce to you my new styling for portrait photography services. You already decided to invest in a good photographer, why not invest in someone that will help you come up with a creative concept and at the same time help you look amazing in your photographs? My team and I can help you with everything, finding a concept, wardrobe styling, hair and makeup, props and of course photography. You already have a photographer of your choice? I can still help you, although I have to say my team is the best lol!

Siempre he sido de la opinión que todos deberíamos tomarnos nuestro retrato con un fotógrafo profesional una vez al año (en mi caso sería varias veces al año jajaja). Me parece que es un lindo recuerdo que habla de una cierta etapa muy específica de nuestra vida. Yo perdí a mi papá hace dos años y medio y algo que me encanta hacer es sentarme a ver fotografías suyas y de mis abuelos. Cada una de ellas me habla de un momento específico de la vida de mi papá y a través de ellas puedo imaginarme la historia de sus vidas. Imagina si no tuviera esas fotografías?

Quiero presentarles mis nuevos servicios de estilismo para retratos fotográficos. Ya tomaste la decisión de invertir en un buen fotógrafo ¿Por qué no invertir también en alguien que te ayude a crear un concepto creativo y a verte increíble en tus fotografías? Mi equipo y yo te ayudamos con todo, creación de concepto, vestuario, cabello, maquillaje y por supuesto fotografía ¿Ya seleccionaste un fotógrafo de tu preferencia? También puedo ayudarte, aunque he de decirte que mi equipo es el mejor jajaja.

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.

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 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.
