The Ruffle Effect

Happy Thursday!!






Feliz Jueves!!






Hey guys, hope you are having a great week!  I absolutely love this sweater!!  It has everything I'm crushing on right now with ruffles, a soft pink hue, and it's very feminine.  I wore it out to dinner the other night and received so many complements and what is even better is the price....$50!! I have also paired it with an A line skirt to go to brunch and some sneakers for a day of errands, as you can see, I haven't given it much of a break.
I want to make a suggestion about sizing when ordering, as I would go up a size or two, depending on how tight and long you like to wear your sweaters.  This sweater is meant to be cropped so if you would like it to fit a little longer and not so snug( it's pretty tight and form fitting), then I would definitely go up a size.  I'm wearing a size 6 European(which fits like a 2-4 US), however, I could have totally worn a size 6(fits like a 6-8 US which is a medium) because I would have preferred it to be a little longer.  Aside from that, this sweater is perfect and I love that it's so versatile that I can wear it with so many different pieces in my closet.  I think this would be a cute outfit for a casual Valentine's Day dinner.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post, please let me know what your thoughts are and if you buy it!  I would love to hear what you think of it!

Happy Monday!! Feliz Lunes!! Hi everyone!!  Hope everyone had a great weekend!!  I flew back from Peru over the weekend and I have a long " honey to do list"!  Traveling is always hard for me because, I'm actually scared of planes!!  Yes!  I hate turbulence, it truly gets me sick, so with that said, having my son traveling with me was scary not only because he is still 7 months old but also because of my fear of planes.  Thank God for my sister who traveled with me and was a HUGE help while we were visiting family.  It was great to see my mom and some family who got to meet Ashton for the first time!  We had a great time, despite the heat ( it was hot and humid every morning up until 4ish when the sun started to go down) and most homes do not have air conditioning!  I want to say I don't know a single home that does!  So you can imagine after living in America for 16 years.....air conditioning to me is an actual necessity, while bac

A Romance with Lace

Happy Monday!! Feliz Lunes!! How was everyone's weekend??  We had a great family weekend and Valentine's Day.  I love spending time with my two loves, they just make my heart smile.  This post was inspired by Valentine's Day because I have always found lace to be a very feminine and romantic.  Personally, I'm very drawn to tops and dresses that have lace in them or are made from it, so when I spotted this top I loved it and the bonus part was it's also cropped!  However, I do have to say, I normally wear a small but in this case I ordered a medium so that it would fit me a little longer and not so cropped.  Since the temperatures have been pretty chilly around here, instead of a skirt I paired it with these bell bottom pants to stay warm.  In the end I loved the classy style the top gave the outfit! Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today and taking the time to read this post and share your ideas with me.  I

A Summer Basic :: Plus 5 Bomber Jackets I'm Currently Loving

Image
Happy Monday! Feliz Lunes!! Hey guys!  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  I'm all about a cute, basic, little black dress....because as we all know you can never go wrong with black.  I know that summer time is all about the white dress and the lighter hues, but I love to have a basic go to black dress that can work in case I'm out of options. I love how this dress, which also comes in two other colors, is fit on the top and then it flares out at the bottom giving it a fun and relaxed style.  I also love the eyelet pattern on it because it's a more casual look and great to pair with wedges, flats, or a bomber jacket, like I did here. I have received so many complements on this jacket, and I have worn it a lot lately and people are constantly asking where I got it.  This is where I have to give it to Target and I have to admit that I get countless of complements on items that come from Target!  I love that because, I wil
