Non-boring basic

When you think of black trousers it is very probable that your mind goes directly to very classic, basic, workwear. But I have proof that they don't have to be boring! I found the perfect basic but a lot more interesting: this great pleated pair during sale season for just 199 pesos. They look cool, they are super comfortable and you can wear them to go to work like I did combining them with a classic striped sweater and flats, or for a more formal occasion combining them with heels and a nice top. Red lips are optional but they always look feminine from day to night :)

Dreamcatcher and camouflage

I probably look different in this picture than usual as I am completely make-up free. I was skeptical about sharing it at the beginning but then I decided that I just could not wait to show off another of my Christmas presents. Anyway the purpose of this blog has always been to share my personal style and outfits and I have always been far from perfect so I think it is fine to go all natural once in a while. 

Since it is Wednesday it is the perfect fit for a pink outfit (Mean Girls reference) so my brand new dreamcatcher necklace is the ideal complement to make everything even pinker ;) Now I am hoping that it will also fulfill its purpose as a dreamcatcher and only bring me good dreams!

New things for the end of the year

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you probably saw on Christmas that I made it to Santa's nice list and received a great handbag as a present. Of course when I say Santa I refer to my wonderful fiancé Dany ;) He knows he can never go wrong with a bag when it comes to me! Since he gave it to me I haven't been able to stop using it so I am pretty sure my other bags are getting very jealous! But since 2016 is almost over and it is time to make commitments for the new year, I did promise my handbags that in 2017 all of them will get the opportunity to accompany me! Also since the year is almost over and I hadn't done anything to my hair for the past months (weird, right?) I decided that it was time for a makeover because "new year, new hair" seems like a good way to start 2017. So I hope you enjoy what is left of 2016 and see you next year!

Preparing for the winter

Well living in Mexico, the winter is not very intense and the cold doesn't last for long but that doesn't mean a girl should not enjoy boots and although the cold is still months away, how can you pass by a great pair and not immediately buy them? ;)
