My Top 5 Fashionistas

These are hands down the top fashionistas I follow and look up to. Nowadays celebrities get so much help from stylists and even though they look fabulous in amazing designer clothes, at the end of the day they are just told what to wear. I believe that true fashionistas are the ones that do not really need much help from a stylist because they already know what's their style, what looks good on them and what makes them look fabulous. I definitely look up to these girls, they know how to dress for their body, they look flawless and they incorporate some risk to their outfits.

VANESSA HUDGENS

She has a carefree personality which fits perfectly with her boho chic style. I love all the risks she takes with her style!!!! A+

 

 

OLIVIA PALERMO

She is known for her class and elegance and knows how to dress for her body type. Olivia makes bold statements even when she is wearing jeans and a white t-shirt.

LAUREN CONRAD

She is another celebrity that is known for her simplicity. She wears very little makeup and loves wearing pieces from her clothing line LC Lauren Conrad. I adore her style because is so simple yet so classy.

BLAKE LIVELY

She is the goddess of fashion and good taste. She has worn so many wonderful pieces from different designers. She looks good pretty much on everything and knows how to wear an outfit gracefully.

 

 

 

DANIELA RAMIREZ

Last but not least is Daniela Ramirez from Nany's Klozet. I know she is not a celebrity, but she is definitely my go to fashion blogger. She combines different styles into her wardrobe, and I love her down to earth personality. She is a huge inspiration for me, check out her blog :)http://www.nanysklozet.com/

How to find your STYLE

The question: What is your style? make us think, wonder and even worry!!

There are different things you can do to identify your style......

1. Check your closet: look at the pieces that you wear the most. Is the color range more neutral or more colorful? Are the pieces girly or tomboyish? Do you wear more pastels or stronger tones? or do you have a little bit of everything?

Here is a guide with pictures that can help you identify your style:

Classic: neutrals, simple cuts, timeless accesories like leather handbags and shoes, simple clothing elements combined with more sophisticated ones makes a classic clothing style.



Sophisticated: neutral and rich jewel tones, leopard prints, pencil skirts, trousers, tight dresses and coats, high heels (strappy or pumps) and metal accesories.



Bohemian: earth tone colors and whites, long skirts, baggy clothes, wooden accesories and shoes, long necklaces, headbans and big bags or totes.



Hipster: skinny jeans, high wasted pants/shorts, glasses of different shades and colors, tops with ironic quotes or crazy prints, vintage shoes (granny boots and oxfords), beanies, bright accesories and casual hair.



Preppy: pastels, plaid and classic prints, knits and sweaters, polo shirts, A-line skirts, khaki pants, ballet flats, boat shoes, wedge in shoes.


Sporty: T-shirts, shorts, leggins, yoga pants, tennis or golf skirts and shirts, sweatshirts, varsity jackets, caps, sneakers or running shoes, rubber band watches and lightweight accesories.

Girly/Flirty: pastels (pinks) and floral prints, flowy skirts and sundresses, lace, pearls, bows, ruffles, feminine heels and cute accesories.


OK, so now yo have an idea of what your style might be :)
Keep experimenting, maybe one day you want to dress girly and on the weekends you want to look more sophisticated. However, there is always going to be a style that stands out the most to you and that you wear the most. That is important to know, since going shopping knowing what is your style and what you like is going to help you have a succesfull wardrobe where almost all the pieces get worn. Because the fact is that an average person only wears 20% of the clothes in her/his closet.

Hope this helps <3

DRESS FOR SUCCESS :)

In my lifetime I have had two important interviews that thank to God and my skills (lol) I have succeed in. Even though two seems like a little number I have learned sooooooooooo muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. For this post I want to share some of my tips on how to properly dress in an interview. ok let's get to the BASICS

THE OUTFIT: I am sorry but whenever fashionistas say that you can dress more chill or more colorful for an interview, I believe that is a big NO NO unless is for a very creative job. You have to make a clean, classic and strong impression with your outfit. You need this following pieces in your wardrobe:

BLACK BLAZER: A tailored one, look for one that is comfortable but that fits you well, not to tight not to baggy. click

BLACK PANTS OR PENCIL SKIRT: the skirt needs to be just below the knee. click

LOW HEEL SHOES: ahhh this one is the hard one. we all LOVE high heels but unless you were them with pants that hides most of the heels DO NOT wear very high ones if you wear a skirt because you will look like you are going to the club. BIG tip: take flats in your purse just in case. click

SHIRT: with the shirt you can provide color to the outfit so that is not to boring or maybe a classic print.
 color or print

JEWERLY: small earings like studs will work perfetly, also wear a watch please and if you want some bracelets wear something delicate nothing too big or blingy.

MAKEUP: simple and natural, not pale use some color like neutrals and light pinks etc... not hot pink, not glitter....

HAIR: clean it and pull it back, a sleek ponytail or a bun works :)

OK now you are ready for your interview!!

Wait I have some last tips that do not deal with clothes but are crucial to make a good impression:
*BE ON TIME:  five to ten minutes early, not more not less.
*BE PREPARED: practice before going in, breath, know the company at least learn some facts.
*THE HANDSHAKE: look at your employer in the eyes when you talk and provide a firm handshake.
*RELAX: if it's meant to be is meant to be, God knows what's best for you. Show your skills, smile, concentrate, think before answering the questions and be smart. YOU GOT THIS

GOOD LUCK

I hope this helps, smile and love one another

Designers talk about the BASICS

So far this is one of my favorite posts, for this one I did some research and learned lots of new things. There are many designers to talk about so I will do a continuation in later posts. The most prestigious designers out there make luxurious and sometimes outrageous designs. Today you will learn the basic pieces that they have in their wardrobe and that of course they have featured in the runways. Lets Begin :)

Carolina Herrera & The White Button Up Shirt

This Venezuelan designer likes sophistication and simplicity. She says a button up shirt is a chameleon that you can dress down with jeans and dress up with a long beautiful skirt. Google (white button up shirt) and you will see almost every Hollywood star wearing this piece.

Roberto Cavalli & His Trademark The Leopard Print

In an interview with Harpers Bazaar Cavalli said "God created such a fantastic world. Leopard is an animal design, and my designs come from nature." He also said that he is disappointed that everyone is doing leopard now, but he doesn't mean you and me, he is talking about other big designers that copy him.

Donatella Versace & The Sexy Dress

In a recent interview by Lenny Kravitz for the magazine Interview; Donatella talked about her life and her collections which always seem to have very sexy, luxurious and glittery statement pieces. She stated  "I don’t think about making sexy clothes. It’s just my instinct to make them." "you always want to feel sexy. You want people to look at you and say, Wow.”

 Diane Von Furstenberg & The Iconic Wrap Dress 

If you go to this designer's website and click on must haves, you will find her statement wrap dress. It is so rewarding to know that you can find a cute or elegant wrap dress for less at your favorite store. This dress makes you look slimmer and chic without trying to hard.

Here are some links where I found some of this pieces in normal stores for a fraction of the cost

I hope you guys enjoy this post :)
