I am utterly in love with what Angeles Almuna did with this video, she is a wonderful friend whom I met because of blogging. She approached me with this idea that she was working on and I instantly said yes, because who can say no to Angeles, she is the sweetest and most humble of people. Not to mention her designs are ridiculously fabulous and one of a kind. I had never come across with designs as the ones she makes, the Spike Edgy flower brooch I am wearing is one of her designs and has been getting some serious attention. Her designs are versatile, which means you can wear them with just about anything and can be worn in many different ways, such at the waist, even on the back to give a dress or flowy top some life. Make sure to check out her designs, they will rock your world. 
What did you think of the video? and by the way, I have now become obsessed with Jamie Woon, whom I had never heard of until I saw this video and heard the song.

Summer Time, Summer Time Madness

It's summer time, summer time madness and that calls for shorts. Miami becomes a hot yoga room and all we can think about is how little garments we can pull off on the streets. I rarely wear shorts, but these were just too hot to pass, not to mention that these will be the last few days I wear shorts before I go to winter wonderland and pounds of clothing is the norm. Miamians do lots of complaining when it comes to humidity and heat but take them out of Miami and into the cold, they cry and whimper because they miss those sweaty nights and that is exactly what I will be doing in a few months. For now though, I will enjoy my last few days and try to get a really good tan (wink).

|A Tail| of a modern day Gatsby

I had this little project brewing in my head for a few months and actually was the original theme Karla and I's collaboration (see what we did here) but ended up not working out at the time but I still wanted to do it. My plan was to have it out before the remake of one of my ultimate favorite books-turned-movies The Great Gatsby, I was obsessed since the day I read the book back in grade school. Not only was the story so divine but it depicted a romance during my ultimate favorite era, the 1920s. I live and breath for that time in history, mostly because well the way women and men would dress was decadent and extravagant. When I saw that The Great Gatsby was going to be remade, I instantly thought of this post and viola- here it is. I had a different location I wanted to shoot in but time and energy where not on my side, so I decided to make the best of it and shoot around my neighborhood.

I am getting back in the groove of posting outfits, I know it's been lacking but I got you people, you will be getting a few more before I cross the pond over to Germany.
