Canvas and fuchsia details

A girl can never have enough little black dresses. They are a basic piece for your wardrobe and you can never go wrong with wearing one. They are just suitable for any occasion and they function as a canvas that is waiting for you to be painted with all the elements you will add to the look. I decided to give it a colour boost by adding fuchsia accessories and lips. 

• Black dress: ZARA
• Imitation snake skin slingback flats: H&M
• Fuchsia Selma bag: MICHAEL KORS
• French doll necklace: RS Paris

Marble and studs

Prints are such a beautiful way to create an interesting look. When I saw this fabric in a local store I loved how simple yet pretty the print is. So I had a dress made for me the way I wanted it for my exact body size. I really enjoy going shopping and finding things that I can wear immediately without having to wait a moment but it is very nice to have something made especially for you and the result is something worth waiting for. 

• Dress with marble print: TU TEXTIL
• Black pointy studded flats/white "Stressed but well dressed" envelope clutch bag: ZARA

Embellished and sparkly

When you want to wear jeans and a backpack in order to be comfortable to walk around but you don't want to look basic just go for some sparkles. They will definitely give your outfit elegance and for some playfulness add a pom pom ;)

• Blue embellished sweatshirt/skinny jeans: H&M
• Pink pointy sparkly flats: BIMBA Y LOLA
• Pink backpack: ZARA

Denim and stripes

Apart from jeans, denim is a great use of material in any form: skirts, jackets, even dresses are so comfortable and you can combine them with anything. And when I say anything I mean it, even with my beloved stripes. Hot pink lips are just there to give the look a boost.

Cats and blazers

The majority of outfits can be magically turned into a look for the office by putting on a blazer. There is something about blazers that makes you look like you mean business. Even when your dress is full of cats!

Embroidery and straw

In order to celebrate my adoptive country's Independence Day, I am wearing this beautiful artisan top, very representative piece of work from the south of Mexico and this cute bag, the work of a young Mexican designer from the north. The rest of the look is just there to give myself a feeling of summer vacation ;)

Bad stripes

When it comes to outfits I feel like I have multiple personalities. Sometimes I like wearing fancy dresses and looking very formal, sometimes I am all about my jeans and very casual looks, sometimes I like to bring elements from both worlds. So here goes the mood of the day: a dress and a tiny bag to feel girly, colourful shoes to feel the positive vibes and a baseball cap to feel cool!

• Black and white striped dress: TARGET
• Coral flatforms with floral print: PRIMARK
• Grey imitation crocodile skin mini bag: ZARA
• Baseball cap: BAD

The princess and the stripes

Pom poms and checkered

On the cloudy days that life brings upon us, colour is a good companion to get us through the dark moments. Don't be afraid to be bold and combine bright colours. Life is too short to not take risks, especially when it comes to your outfits where no real harm can be done!
