INSPIRATION OF THE DAY: SAILOR STRIPES AND NEONS

Doesn't this look beautiful together? I think it does. I have a peculiar obsession for the following: neons, sailor stripes, little black dresses, and button down denim shirts. Those are the things I just realized I kind of have a little collection of my own. Now maybe I'll even add to the list J.Crew cigarette leg printed pants. I've never in my life owned a pair of printed pants until now, and I'm loving it! I'm wearing the one's I bought (with my neon pumps and denim shirt of course) for tomorrow's Saúl E. Méndez fashion show. I'll show you pictures next week. 

Anyhow back to the image. What would you wear this with? I'm missing a bottom. 

Acaso no se ve hermoso esto? Yo pienso que si. Tengo una peculiar obsesión por lo siguiente: cualquier cosa en color neon, las rayas marineras, vestiditos negros y camisas de lona. Me acabo de dar cuenta que tengo una pequeña colección de esas cosas en mi closet. Quizás añada a la lista los pantalones estampados de pierna recta de J.Crew. Nunca en mi vida había comprado unos pantalones estampados sino hasta ahora y los amo! Me voy a poner los que compré (con mis tacones neon y camisa de lona por supuesto) este sábado para el show de Saúl E. Méndez. La próxima semana les muestro algunas fotografías. 

En fin, de regreso a la imagen. Con qué lo combinarían? Me hace falta la parte de abajo.

I MISS YOU MIAMI BUT I'LL SEE YOU SOON!

I just came back from the most amazing trip to Miami with my best friend Kika (which is why I completely abandoned you for a whole week. Sorry. I know you understand). We literally couldn't stop laughing from the moment we got there. We stayed at an amazing apartment with the most gorgeous ocean front view, we hanged out with family and friends we love, we ate delicious food, we went out every single day looking like a million bucks, we went to the boat show in Fort Lauderdale where we saw many beautiful things (wink, wink), we even went to Casa De Los Trucos in Little Havana where we had to wait in line for like 30min to go in AND came out with nothing! I'm telling you we where all over the place. 

Kika was born in Guatemala from Cuban parents but lived most of her life in Miami. I wasn't born in Miami nor have I lived there but I've been going to the magic city since I was a little peanut (like Kika says) and so needless to say Miami feels much like home to both of us. Every time we go together and come back we always feel like we left half our soul there. 

I didn't do that much shopping because that wasn't the main purpose of my trip but I did buy some pretty cool things that I want to share with you. Can't wait to do some Little Miss Red Fashion Adventures posts with this stuff.

Acabo de regresar del viaje más increíble a Miami con mi mejor amiga Kika (razón por la cual los he tenido abandonados por una semana entera, lo siento, sé que ustedes comprenden). Literalmente no paramos de reír desde que llegamos. Nos quedamos en un hermoso apartamento con vista al mar, compartimos con nuestra familia y amigos que amamos, comimos delicioso, salimos todas las noches luciendo como un millón de dólares, fuimos al boat show en Fort Lauderdale donde vimos cosas bellas (wink, wink), incluso fuimos a La Casa De Los Trucos en La Pequeña Havana en donde tuvimos que hacer cola por 30 min para entrar solo para salir con las manos vacías. Les digo, anduvimos por todas partes. 

Kika nació en Guatemala de padres cubanos pero vivió la mayor parte de su vida en Miami. Yo no nací en Miami y tampoco viví allí pero he viajado a la ciudad mágica desde que soy una pequeña maní (como dice kika) y por supuesto Miami se siente como casa para nosotras. Cada vez que vamos juntas y regresamos sentimos que dejamos la mitad del alma tirada por allá. 

No hice muchas compras porque no era el propósito de mi viaje pero si compre algunas cositas lindas que quiero compartir con ustedes. No veo las horas de hacer una sesión de Little Miss Red Fashion Adventures con todas estas cosas.

LITTLE MISS VINTAGE RED SAILOR

Well... It's not really a sailor outfit, in fact it's not at all but all this white, red, and blue going on sure makes me feel like I was vacationing on the French Riviera in the 1950's ¿Don't you think so? Imagine walking along the beach at Deuville with a glass of champagne watching the sun go down...or rise most likely you've been up all night. Wait! Deuville is not the French Riviera... Who cares! Even better. 

Anyways, whatever... this whole thing just feels very sailorish to me. Bon chance!

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?
