|PINK| the color for October

October, the month where women feel empowered and united, that's because in the states we not only save lives during this month, we celebrate the beauty and power of the woman, we wear pink, we walk and run miles, and the NFL tributes us by also wearing something pink, yes it's Breast Cancer Awareness month. This month is taken seriously by all women, because well we want to save our breasts, but most importantly save those women we love. So in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I wore this pink beanie that I love, and hot pink sunnies to unite with the rest of my female counterparts. I've lost loved ones from cancer, and I don't want to keep loosing more, so the more awareness we create, the more we can come to a cure, as we all hope. On another note, my awesome friend and hairstylist Sandy Lee Alvarez did me up for these photos, she did such an amazing job, I couldn't stop staring at myself.  She also took my photos, so she has many trades up her sleeve.

Have you worn any pink this month?

Fall Neutrals

Fall style has become a very fun task for me, I spend a few hours a day thinking of how I what I can pair with what. At the moment I have very limited fall/winter clothing as one, I come from Miami and two I have my wedding approaching in two months, so my budget is small and I am just getting essential stuff, nothing fun (sad face), but I am still able to manage with what I have. Keep tuned for more giveaways and more fun outfits in the coming weeks.

|CSxE Two-Year Anniversary| Instagram Giveaway

This month is my second year anniversary, I still can't believe it's been two years since I embarked on a fun adventure. I hope that it only keeps getting better from here.  I wouldn't be doing this if  it wasn't for those of you who have come back time after time to read and look at what I have to say and share with you, so I thank you so very much for your support, none of these would mean anything without it.

The two pieces I am giving away today are the Moment Wrap Skirt in Houndstooth print and Stella McCartney Mesh Pumps. I bought these two items online and they ended up not fitting me, so I kept them in my closet so that I can sell them on my shop, but now I am giving you all a chance to win them!

The Skirt - M size (length 35 cm, waist 72 cm, hips 92 cm) **fits like a Small, they run small in sizing

The Shoes - 7.5 size **they fit like a 7, but if you are between a 7 & 7.5 then they will fit.

|Fall Season| is here

Fall is here, and it is here to stay. This will be my first official Fall season, as you know I come from Miami where seasons don't really exist, so I am looking forward to all the fall pieces I will get to wear. This is my first fall look I post on the blog, wait till you see all the fun combos I have lined up. I love this tweed coat I am wearing, the story goes like this, I bought it six years ago, never wore it, best part of it was that I found it at Forever 21 for $12, isn't that amazing? I thought so, probably the best sale find ever. When it came to Germany with me, I had to let it have its spotlight, poor thing had been sitting in the back row of my closet for years in Miami.

What will you be wearing this fall?
