Retro Paradise

Hey y’all! Happy new year! 

I recently just got back from the Dominican Republic (wipes tears.) I had such an amazing time, I was able to meet new incredibly talented people and explore different parts of the country. 

One of my firsts visits was to La Maleta’s Pop Up Market where there were local vendors, homemade cocktails, art and live music. Just pure magic!

Independent Soul

Hi my loves!

I have been trying to blog more often but it is super hard as I have been extremely busy lately. 

I absolutely love this look. This is a look I wore to visit family members. It's very comfortable and relaxed. 

For this look I used a skirt as a head wrap. Hahaha, talk about resourceful. This skirt is super long and wide which means you can create an unlimited number of styles.

Reality Check

Hello my loves!
I am back in New York from my getaway to Dominican Republic and to be honest, I didn't want to come back. I mentioned a few blog posts ago that when I travel back home I come back a new version of myself. Visiting puts things into perspective. I had a reality check while I was there. Sometimes we put our dreams aside because we get distracted in our daily life. In my case, I had been putting my career as a Wardrobe Stylist to the side because I was caught up in everything else. I realized I needed to do what makes ME happy, even if that means taking a risk. 

I'm truly obsessed with these culottes from Olly Oxen Free Vintage, not only are they chic but they go with pretty much anything. I took them with me all over my trip, hahaha! I even wore these on my birthday.

I've pretty much been wearing these DIY shoes everyday ever since I made them. It's a bad habit but I really love them and cannot stop wearing them.

Abrazo La Vida

Hi my loves!
I am back in New York City and although I am happy to be back, I am missing my country more than ever! I miss my beautiful friends and amazing family. I miss the warm breeze and I miss the architecture. I am so inspired by the houses in the Dominican Republic and I think this outfit is a good representation of that. 
About two years ago my aunt gifted me this blouse. Isn't it BEAUTIFUL ya'll? 

I named this look "Abrazo La Vida (I Hug Life)" not only because of the song I will share with you all but because I am greatly thankful. I am thankful for my friends and family who genuinely care and worry for me. Every time I travel I feel like I come back a new person, a better version of myself. My trip put some things into perspective for me and that is one of the biggest blessings, to learn and evolve.

Masi Pedro

Hi my loves! 
Looking back and posting pictures from my trip really has me missing my beautiful island. I have to say, I had an amazing trip and I am truly thankful for all the people I met. 
This day my friends and I went to the river Masi Pedro in Bonao. I threw on my swimwear, dashiki and my favorite pair of distressed denim shorts and off I went! Easy, flowy and comfy!

Also, thank you DressLink for sending my these chic-ass sunnies! I love them!

Treat Yourself

Hi my loves!

I have a perfectly acceptable excuse for my absence on the blog — I have just got back from a vacation to the Dominican Republic. I didn't mention anything on here because it was a surprise trip! It's a personal goal of mine to travel and so, i'm trynna make it happen. Traveling is super important to me because it inspires me on so many levels.

The Perfect In Between

A pair of blush colored pants have been on my wish-list for a very long time! I was beyond happy when I found this pair on Boohoo last month. When I received them in the mail I noticed they were extremely bright, almost fluorescent. Which made me love them even more! So what do you think? Are they blush or coral? Or, the perfect in between?
