| MBFW Berlin A/W 2016 | Look 5

This was my last look during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin, I wanted to keep it a bit more comfortable so I wore jeans, though, I had intended to wear cream colored pants with this look but in the end I went for my jeans. I surprisingly was not as cold on the upper part of my body, but my legs were freezing. The pictures were shot with my iPhone so I apologize for the poor quality, I got to lazy to run around with my camera, so I used my phone for all the pictures during MBFWB. If you want to shop my look, see below and remember to scroll through, I always put three different price points for all budgets.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin was something I did not imagine going to this year, I had always considered it a goal to reach, but the timing had never worked out right for me in the previous years since I've been here. So when a out of the whim opportunity came my way, I took it and I had about two weeks to plan everything, so wasted no time. My good friend Sandy of Madly Addictive (check out her blog, filled tons of wanderlust x great travel tips) had several days off and wanted to do a girls trip, to keep the tradition as we did last year, I knew I wasn't going to be able to do a full on trip like we did last time, but when she mentioned she was going to be in Berlin during her time off to visit friends, I realized that she would sorta be there during MBFW Berlin, I took this opportunity to pitch the idea to the husband as a "business and research trip." I guess my pitch worked and so I immediately texted Sandy to let her know the good news and without too much persuasion she moved up her visit to Berlin a bit so that she can join me in all the fashion week fun. It all worked out so well and sometimes unexpected trips turn out to be better then if you had planned it weeks in advance. Getting Latina here...Lo que esta pa ti, nadie te lo quita! 

Going to MBFW Berlin was a big deal to me as I had always dreamed of going to any fashion week, and although I've done MBFW Swim Week Miami, it is a completely different experience. So being able to scratch this off the list feels pretty amazing, love being able to accomplish things I've always wanted to do. Now I have my eye on New York Fashion, which has been one of my biggest dreams, since I was a young girl. I remember sitting in front of the TV, nestled in a pink steel file cabinet all donated by family and our school in our one bedroom apartment when at the time, my mother was a single mom, and thinking to myself this has to be one of the most beautiful of experiences, I felt transported looking at the runway shows, mesmerized by the craftsmanship of the clothes, the models, the lights and the people in the front rows. So as others may take it for granted or not find it a big deal, to me, fulling childhood dreams that seemed so far away because of the circumstances at the time are a pretty big deal. When I do fulfill that dream, I will move on to my next dream, Paris Fashion Week, baby steps...baby steps.

| MBFW Berlin A/W 2016 | Look 3

This was my third look for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin, by then I had already worn two other outfits but I did not document them, in fact, if it wasn't that we had a bit of time to kill, I probably would not have documented any of them for sheer laziness. Also, I did not take my Olympus Pen with me, which I normally would for something like this but I didn't want to be carrying it around since I had chosen all small bags with my looks and that's what I always take my outfit pictures with as they come out nice and crisp. These were taken with an iPhone, so they are not the best quality but it's something. If you remember, I wore this dress when I was in Milan during Milan Fashion Week last February, I actually purchased it in Milan (see look HERE). This time I wanted to change it up and create some layered dimensions, so I added a drop waist dress I had never worn and sitting in my closet with the tags still in place. This look was actually the most comfortable and surprisingly I was not cold at all, even though, we were freezing in Berlin.
