Helloooo needies!<br />
<br />
I took the summer off from blogging--somehow thought this was normal behavior-- but I am finally back and just as the season changed, so did the blog. Please head over to my new blog <a href="http://www.fashionneedy.com/">Fashion Needy Co-Op</a> and let me know what you think of this newly established cooperative. I can't promise you it's as formal as it sounds but I can definitely promise a chuckle, or two!<br />
<br />
xoxo,<br />

It's almost hard to believe that its been more than a year since I started FashionNeedy. What started out as a whim from pure boredom, immediately became a challenge and now I am happy to announce its just an extension of my life. What will come of this... time will tell but for the moment, I can't help but be grateful to everyone that supports me week after week.<br />
Some of you might find this surprising but before FashionNeedy became what it is today, it used to be a simple little <a href="http://fashionneedandwants.tumblr.com/">tumblr</a> spot that only a few people followed. It was mostly me rambling about trends and style until I discovered I had followers I didn't even know of and a knack for pretending I am participating in an America's Next Top Model season. That's only if ANTM required models to wear sunglasses in every pose. What's underneath those shades will forever be a secret, let's just pretend I want to keep one part of my life a secret (that works for me). I also discovered someone in my office had the talent of capturing stunning images and let's just say... it was the beginning of a beautiful journey. Nowadays I am struggling to find time to balance a full time job (minus the photographer), NYC life and this spot but I think this is just the first step of something marvelous to come. In the meantime, while I get my s*&t together, please enjoy some of my favorite pieces of this last year!!<br />

As the weather heats up a brunch rooftop will certainly be part of my summer adventures and when I think of outside eating and drinking, a hat like this certainly fits the bill... Don't you think?<br />

On another note, Let's talk <a href="http://fashionneedy.blogspot.com/2012/05/wedges-and-giveaway.html?spref=fb">giveaway</a> winner! I am amazed by the amount of people that guessed the Dolce Vita wedges as my recent purchase. Although they are absolutely stunning and number one on my summer wish list, this girl's pockets don't run so deep at the moment, hence I bought the Soda shoes via Lulu's. That by the way are unbelievably comfortable and so affordable, 100% recommended. And so, without further adieu, the winner of the $30 Gift Card is Kate Frenkel from<a href="http://charlottehouse22.blogspot.com/"> Lifestyle Journal</a>. Thanks for those who participated and keep checking in for more summer surprises!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MfBgq9NmGoQ/T8eoFFOq6WI/AAAAAAAABEo/cTkVYjr6uSo/s1600/mustique-wedge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MfBgq9NmGoQ/T8eoFFOq6WI/AAAAAAAABEo/cTkVYjr6uSo/s320/mustique-wedge.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Wedges... a summer staple and a summer statement if you pick the right one. I clearly have not stopped thinking about these. Not only are there hundreds of different styles everytime I pass a shoe store (and I have one two blocks from my house- so give or take, twice a day), but my boss seems to have a different pair for every day of the week and then some. So despite the fact I've accumuluated a couple throught the last two summers, I still have a lot of catching up to do. And this summer, I think this is a necessity-- and you know how needy I can be. So I've been tiredlessly searching for my pair of wedges and fallen in love with a few as well as purchased a couple already (I can't help mysefl) and a lesson I learned is to have in mind what you wish to achieve from these shoes in correlation to your summer wardrobe. What do I mean? What colors will you be wearing the most and how will you like to match your shoes to them. I believe a nude pair is extremely necessary. If you are bold, go for a double/triple colored wedged and if not, just go for a bold bright color that still turns some heads. And if you are like me, a person that might be spending 45 minutes walking to and from work, consider height. A comfy wedge can go a long, long way... or so I've heard (still searching for mine). <br />
<br />
In any case, here are some great ideas that might rock your boat and, <strong><u>as a special treat</u>, guess which pair I just purchased and you will be entered in a raffle to win a $30 gift card so you can get yourself your summer staple or at least quasi get yourelf one-- courtesy of me, myself and I! <em>(Just comment with your guess and leave your email or best way to contact you. Ends Friday, June 8th)</em></strong><br />

<br />
After a night of quasi debauchery, pajamas and pizza party sounds like the perfect remedy. But when the weather is 75 degrees and sunny, getting out of bed becomes a priority. A person like me, never wastes an opportunity to wear the perfect spring outfit (and her most recent DIY project). So even though I might not be all that up to socializing with the friendly people of Manhattan, at least I made the effort to visit some of my favorite characters in my life- The Sneaky Weasel aka <a href="http://lacomadrejaesniki.blogspot.com/">La Comadreja Esniki</a><br />
So who is this sneaky weasel you ask (besides a fellow Panamanian and one of the most hilarious people I met- which explains my unfiltered laughter above)? The Sneaky Weasel is a master at the art of capturing outfits or moments that most of us have to do a double-take when seeing. By double-take I don't mean, turning your head to appreciate a well put-together outfit, I mean turning your head to verify that what you just saw was actually true. One thing I've learned from my short time in NYC is that people are fearless when dressing and sometimes, this comes at a price. For some it might just be a couple of weird looks but for others, it might be getting a spot in the <a href="http://lacomadrejaesniki.blogspot.com/">Sneaky Weasel</a> blog. I have to admit I am glad I am not earning a spot there (for now- knock on wood) because I don't think that would aid my reputation. But for now, I have to admit I am having a hell of a good time reading what the <a href="http://lacomadrejaesniki.blogspot.com/">Weasel</a> thinks about what she encounters in the streets of NYC (and other places- take this as a warning).<br />
In any case, I recommend you guys take a look because I am sure you might feel a sense of relief that someone else agrees with your thought when you (i.e.) saw that man wearing <a href="http://lacomadrejaesniki.blogspot.com/2012/04/pink-it-was-love-at-first-sight.html">pointy white loafers</a>. If that doesn't do it for you, then do it for simply getting a good laugh in your system--as effective as a happy pill I've been told. And, because talking about the Weasel's talents isn't enough, here are some pictures taken by hers truly... pretty good, eh?<br />

Do you know what happens when it rains for 2 days and then the sun comes up? A humidity so intense that any rational person with troubled hair must simply give up and go for a bun. I didn't expect this situation to happen the day I go for a boyish look but I am thinking the heels serve as a friendly reminder that I am a girl wearing a men-inspired look? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In any case, here's some food for thought... When you try to pull of a boyish look, it is extremely necessary to use as many girly things as possible. In my case, I think the only girly thing in my outfit is the pink and the rhinestones (because I was expecting wavy hair in my shoulders) but next time, I will be sure to measure the humidity level before stepping out of the apartment. I have to admit, I am having a serious trouble getting over my lack of hair, cleavage and leg show-off, is that terrible? What do you think? How do you best pull off this look?</div>

Some people say there's nothing better than shopping your closet. That sense of satisfaction you get when you find something you haven't worn in a long time, that perfectly matches the season and the trend you had in mind, and at no cost. I don't know if I would go as far as to say that it's the best feeling in the world, the feeling I get when I eat a perfectly baked chocolate chip cookie might trump this... but that's just me. I will say that it is a close second. Definitely a bit better than the bittersweet feeling of buying something new but dreading the bill! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In any case, I wanna thank Givenchy, Peter Som, Richard Chai, Stella and any designer who thought of using oversized florals in their designs. And with that said, why not thank the clairvoyant folks at Arden B. for creating this dress two years ago. Because of all of you, I had amazing feeling this morning when dressing up, a much needed one...</div>

I’ve always been a bit of a conservative when it comes to my look. Some of my close friends wouldn't necesarily agree but I always remind them, it could be way worse! Now, when I mean conservative I don’t mean trousers and a button-up cotton blouse, I simply mean, I never take my fashion sense to extremes… I keep it as normal as I can with a splash of edgy. This is why color blocking might become my summer mojo. It's a simple way of dressing that simply requires an eye for the perfect color combinations to create a successful ensemble. It's complexity can be untangled by a fifth grader if you asked me...</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="font-size: 14px;">
When I pair one of these outfits I always go back to my kindergarten years when my mom used to talk to me about the rule of three's: wear three and only three colors in one entire outfit, more would be committing a fashion crime. I adore my mom and she's someone who can put an outfit correctly but I have never been a huge fan of her style, however I gotta hand it to her, she got something right. When it comes to this trend, I suggest to follow the rule of three’s and put together 3 pieces that are basic but different colors. Be bold! Create combinations you had never thought of, think outside the box. The main point is that when somebody looks at you they see a variety of colors in a uniform way that simply work, and don’t worry if people keep staring… you are supposed to stand out, not go unnoticed. Leave the latter to the boring people!</div>

I like the sound of that ... let me try it again...<br />
It's been a pretty busy week at the office setting up for market week so this girl had to make lemons out of lemonade (yea.. I can do that!) and produce something worthy of sharing with you by myself. This time, let's talk accessories. As you know by now, I am obsessed with them. More than I am with clothes which should really leave you wondering the extent. I collect jewelry like its my business– who knows. maybe one day it will be– and for me, there is nothing better than over accessorizing every once in a while. So when I paired the most colorful look I've worn since my last color blocking post, I decided that its jewelry complement would be even more out there. Even though a look like this can be easily worn with small accessories and work, sometimes its just necessary to be bold, hence the arm festival and necklace. And trust me, at the pace these New Yorkers walk, this might just be what you need to get some heads turning!!<br />

Gotta love a beautiful Spring afternoon that entails good company, good food and wine all the way till 9 pm. A glass of wine can make my day just as much as a new pair of shoes. Only difference is the durability of each, I guess.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When it comes to spring wardrobe, it's safe to say that a shearling vest might not be the answer but since the weather has been kinda tricky lately, I've had to improvise on ways to keep myself warm. After a few weather surprises on my way to work, I had to unpack my winter coats again just until things get settled. I guess so much for being too positive! In any case, I am obsessing over pastels this season and you will soon discover what I have been accumulating for you all these past months. As I've said so many times before, when I like something... I reaaaalllyyyy like it, so its safe to say that my closet has definitely transitioned into a different group of shades. Give me a pink pastel blouse and I'll throw you a party... figuratively and maybe even literally. What are you obsessing over? </div>

Remember, way back when, when I set my self some <a href="http://fashionneedy.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-years-eve-came-and-went-and-left-us.html">new years resolution</a> which I hoped to accomplish? Well I think it's about time I start telling you a little bit of what I've been up to lately. AS you all know, I was recently working and living in DC– and using the Panama Embassy grounds as my personal photography studio– but for a while I had been planning on relocating and embarking on my newest adventure: NYC. After a couple of months of job searches and interviewing and schlepping my wardrobe back and forth weekly, I finally landed a job and I am happy to announce that resolution #6 for 2012 is finally ACCOMPLISHED! So there goes another layer in my life and I guess to celebrate, here is layered outfit for you all :)<div>
Because I am sure you will insist, let me tell you all about it. Although I don't have a wonderful receptionist who takes my pictures every afternoon, I have a desk in in the most adorable office in the middle of the Fashion District. The brand? <a href="http://janemarvel.com/">Jane Marvel</a>, a line of handbags for every day use (sort of a lifestyle handbag line). I was allowed to continue bugging whoever works with me for some pictures so by no means conclude that you've seen the last of me. I can't promise you beautiful spring/fall backgrounds but I can promise you some creepy delivery guy staring at my behind at some point... definitely a change of scenery. In any case, if you are in the area... my body can always use a drink or two!</div>

I think its time I share something from my past that you all might find a tad interesting: I did not live my entire life in Panama, I actually spent two years of my childhood in the tropical island of Grand Cayman. To say that I remember my time there would be a lie, considering I was two years old when I arrived. I do have a tiny memory of escaping my crib and getting caught twice, but I am not sure if I imagined it from hearing that story so many times or if my memory skills really resemble that of an elephant. Anyhow, my parents say it was an amazing time and oh boy were they right! During my last visit home, I was surprised with a family vacation to the Caymans to celebrate that we were all free at the same time, and Easter of course (hope this explains my continued absence). I had a long time to think and relax and I reached a few conclusions that I am tempted to share with you. Number one, now I understand my uncontrollable desire to live in a tropical place in front of the beach. Number two, whoever invented Bloody Marys for breakfast was a genius!<br />
Besides the tiny detail that when driving in Cayman, you must do as the English do, which, after 7 days I still couldn't master, the island was as close to paradise as it gets. Wonderful food, gorgeous sunsets, psychedelic houses, nice people, and funny accents galore.. what else can you ask. I for my part managed to get a tan that might last for the entire summer and I also got to see the house where I lived for those two years of my childhood. Nothing like reminiscing on times you don't really remember. One more thing I can scratch of my bucket list! Before I lose you to another blogger, let me get to the good part:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There's different ways to pull of a comfortable look without looking like you just got out of bed. In my world, it has to be the perfect combination of lose-fitting clothes, soft textures and neutral colors with the perfect amount of jewelry to get it just right. Wear the wrong shoes, and you will look like you are trying to hard, wear something too big and you might just look like you're partaking in the dreadful 'walk-of-shame' act. Flip-flops are out of the question and pants resembling sweatpants are not even worth considering. Maxi skirts the ideal bottom and with a sexy slit, what can get better than that? During these last cold days, I am taking advantage of the comfortable look as much as I can. In a few weeks the days of dresses, colors, short skirts and tight tops will begin and as happy as the warm weather makes me, I will miss wearing all black and feeling like I'm still looking fresh. But in retrospective, I guess that's one thing I can live without for a few months!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Unfortunately, what was scheduled for a weekend trip turned into a week+ stay which left little time for me to stop what I was doing, get into my Rosie Huntington mode and snap some pics. This, combined with the fact that I left my camera home, and my wardrobe, definitely put me in a bit of a pickle. However, having lunch with one of my favorite fans, I mean friend, yesterday, I was convinced loosen up and pose. Can you guess where I am at?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

When I get the opportunity to ransack the closet and jewelry collection of one of my best friends, who happens to have amazing style, I am thinking this will be an out-of-this-world experience. However, the opporsite happens when she obliges me to keep the selection true to her style: simple with that je ne sais quoi. Now, I don't consider myself a simple person. Not when it comes to accessorizing and mixing it up so for me, I mostly feel naked. But, like the Chial sisters told me, naked is the way to go... at least when it comes to jewelry. So, here I am trying something new, by popular request. I do have to add though, I almost got hit by a car while posing... could this be because of the lack of bling?<br />

Every once in a while, I get a desperate urge to take apart my closet in search of items I have not used in a while. I am sure everyone of you have found that one vest, dress, or skirt that you bought on a whim yet never found the right time to wear it. If you are like me, you could have also hung several things on top of it, due to the lack of space/hangers, and let it endure a slow and miserable death. Or, went on an even better shopping spree that put that one item on the back burner. I tell you this because this is exactly the case with the maxi skirt I am sporting up top. When I bought it, I mightily convinced my mother it was the perfect purchase. I had ten different ways to wear it in my mind already so it would be money well spent. Little did I know that 2 years would go by before I would find the right time to wear it. I am not proud of it, I am aware what $25 to spend means to others but I guess it is one of those things you need an enlighting moment to wake you up.<br />
As I move to the next step in my life, I have made it a priority, no, better yet, a rule, to make sure this never happens again. I will theorize on ways to do so, considering my continued lack of space, this will be a a bit more complicated than exprected. But as Tony Robbins once said so insightfully, "if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten," and that is a pile of unused clothes out of season. So... challenged accepted!<br />

In the meantime, let me just give you a sneak peak of something I'm working on with a fellow DC blogger and some pictures from the <a href="http://capfabb.com/">CapFabb</a> Anniversary Soire at <a href="http://www.citieswashington.com/">Cities</a>. Nothing better than some gifted food & drinks and the company of lovely people... even better when one takes into effect the fact that they happen to be stylish, funny and bloggers!<br />

I must confess...although global warming is a threatening situation to the survival of this planet, I can't say that I am terribly disappointed with the bizarre weather. I do seem to be concerned with next years winter, but I got plenty of months to dread it. Now, back to the topic of this blog, I must confess another thing, I bought these jeans months ago but barely ever wear them. Flares like these are a tricky thing. When I stare down at them I feel like I am extremely underdressed or on my way to a Texas hoedown. The latter one would be fun if I was indeed in Texas, on my way to hoedown, but unfortunately this is not the case. I am actually in DC.. on my way to work. In any case, as I've spent considerable amount of time dressing these suckers up, I'll share a few things I learned on the way:<br />
<br />
#1 NEVER wear them with flats. Unless you'd like to look like your on your way to a college class in 2003<br />
#2 Work a slim combination up top. Either a loose yet fitted top or a fitted top with some sort of vest. Although bell bottoms look great with a fitted top, pants that are more palazzo-like work best with some looseness in the top too. It's a symmetry thing....<br />
#3 Do not wear long top without tucking it in. You will risk looking severely underdressed or from the scene of Janis Joplin video... but then again... to each its own!<br />
<br />
And like always, if you are not like me style-wise.... just ignore rules 1 to 3. Anyone care to share their thoughts on flares like these?<br />

I apologize for my extended hiatus but my trip to Panama required my complete attention and left little time for me to delight you with my presence. However, I come to you with good news... First and foremost, I want to thank Ellie from <a href="http://fashionwithellie.blogspot.com/">Fashion with Ellie</a> and Damycool from <a href="http://damycooldetodoydenada.blogspot.com/">De Todo y de Nada</a> for awarding me with the Kreativ and the Stylish Blogger Award respectively. I wish I had time to award 22 bloggers but my time is limited as I need to recover from the 5-hour-sleeps I was "forced" to endure last week. But I promise that next time I will be as generous as possible. Anyway, here are the rules for my combined awards:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Maybe it's the posibility of turning a simple color scheme into something outré by mixing it just the right way, or the complexity of said word... but ever since we've been seeing the trend around, I have been fascinated... and still working hard on pronouncing the word correctly. Of course, adding a pop of bright colors and neons is also a sight worth seeing, but I believe that the ability to make something simple into something fashionable is what every style aficionado should aim for. The trick with a monochromatic outfit is in the details. Whether you decide to mix the textures, add an outstanding print, wear an eye-catching piece of jewelry... always have in mind that somehow something needs to be 'different.' If not, people will always find some sort of fruit, vegetable or cartoon to compare you to. You don't want to look like one of the smurfs so aim to find something in the outfit selection that removes the image from people's minds. And hey, if you do end up looking like a smurf, or a carrot, or even a tree log, embrace it, at least all eyes are on you!<br />

Every once in a while, I wake up feeling like I actually work at an office that requires a business-like attire. This especially occurs after I realize that pairing my Indian bib necklace with a collared blouse can lead to amazing results. Let's just say, I made my boss pretty happy that day.<br />
<br />
On another note, dont forget to check my first interview at <a href="http://lucyandtherunaways.blogspot.com/2012/02/interview-with-four-fabulous-bloggers.html">Lucy and the Runaways</a>. If you want to know a little bit more about me, which I am sure you all do (cough-cough), I think you will be pretty entertained!<br />
<br />
I bid you adieu, for now, but I will be back this weekend with an update from beautiful NYC- go Giants!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've been spoiled with warm weather this winter and for those who believe complaining gets you nowhere, well now we know that might not be true. Well, the tables can turn this month but I am thinking that one more month of cold weather, regardless of snow or ice, will not be as bad as previous years. And yes, I might be getting a bit a head of myself thinking it will only be one more month, or that I can already wear clothes meant for springtime in the Northeast, but I can't help it if today I woke up more positive than usual. In any case, this skirt will be the perfect addition to my spring wardrobe... I am thinking a bright floral button-up, or maybe even a cute peplum.... rocking an <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046250/">Audrey-Hepburn-Roman-Holiday</a> 50's style maybe? Guess we'll have to wait and see!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
