Overaccessorizing

It's  been a pretty busy week at the office setting up for market week.... I like the sound of that ... let me try it again...
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!!

Spring-ing!

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.

 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?

My second favorite part @Fig and Olive

What you say, Bobo? – Cayman Islands

I am going to get deep here (because I don't do it enough, of course). 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!
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:

I found this bandana in my mom's bag. I am sure she's been reading the mags and wanted to rock her 80's fashion. I am giving her points for embracing 'vintage' accessories!

Weeklong Interim

People, people, people... I know! I've been a bad blogger. 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?

Career Profile @ TheYouFinder

I am not one to brag... (or maybe I am but I still don't have enough to brag about?)... but sometimes, when pictures this good are taken, you gotta make a big deal about it! Lovely Katalina Mayorga from TheYouFinder, who I recently met at a Capfabb event, took the time out of her busy schedule to interview me and have the talented Sebastin Marin take some great pictures of me in Dupont Circle. The theme is mostly focused on my professional background and my style so for those of you interested in learning what I do from 9 to 5, I definitely invite you to check it out. And for those of you who don't care, well I hope these images serve as some inspiration ... More pics here

Spring Preview

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 Audrey-Hepburn-Roman-Holiday 50's style maybe? Guess we'll have to wait and see!

Head turner

Here is an edgy outfit for a weekend outing. Nothing like some black lace to cause some serious head turning!

Let me just clarify that unfortunately I was prevented from wearing this outfit because the birthday girl who was hosting the party wanted the attention to stay on her. I can't say I don't understand her... I guess an ensemble like this can cause some severe neck pain, or not??

Peaches and Creme- Part II

After a peachy and creme outfit, it seems weird to be following the same palette on my next post but I have to admit it has been a bit of a rough weekend/start of the week. Not rough as in bad... just rough as in, not much time or internet connection available. Good weekend though, lots of projects on the way! Today I woke up with zero inspiration, a bad hair day and excessive tiredness so hence, a very cash, comfy and relaxed outfit. Well, except for the heels I guess, oh, and the fact I kept tripping on the stairs every half hour! A pop of color is always necessary in a monochromatic ensemble so the teal just blended perfectly, especially for this season, and it was an easy pick in my closet. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)
