Spring Blush

Hello Beasts!!

I know it has been a very long long time since I have made an official post on the blog. Where have I Been? Well; since the last post I worked on a super amazing project with Puertorrican designers, went to New York Fashion Week, had a crush on a guy, got a promotion at work, got selected by a top Dominican magazine to be part of an article on personal style, and kinda lost my muse for writing along the way. In other words, I had too much on my plate.

Although I have stayed in touch with you on social media, I feel like you guys need or actually I need to get back on the writing pony and give you some Fashion Loving. So since, its that time of the year where some fall in, some fall out of love, and others just try avoiding the whole subject and decide to drown themselves in delicious cocktails, champagne and sweets, I have put together a little outfit inspired in one of my new favorite color ¨Blush Pink¨.

 I recently found this amazing and perfect hued Blush pleated midi-skirt at Torrid, and like always I accepted the challenge of making a pleated light color skirt look good on my size 16/18 curvalicious body.

If I can do it so can you!!

I´m so happy to be back, and very excited for what I have in stored for you guys. So stay tuned for more outfit inspiration, shopping guides and some cool surprises. Thanks for reading and for showing me so much love. Happy Valentines Day!!!

Stay fabulous!

Weekly Finds : Transition to Spring

Hello Beautiful Beast!!
This week we where feeling easy and breezy, so we decided to do this Week´s Finds on Transitional pieces, for spring. For this time of the year the easiest way to start walking away from the winter blues is to incorporate color into your wardrobe. You should also look for fun silhouettes that you can wear with layering pieces for what is left of winter and rock later when the cold is gone. So we went to one of our forever favorite go to places Old Navy, and found super cute and affordable Spring time dresses and layering pieces for you to see.

These are our picks for this week:

Lime Maxi Dress

This maxi dress is a great piece to transition from Spring to summer time, because of its color. Lime yellow is still very on trend this season and it looks awesome with an edgy black leather jacket or a basic denim Jacket.

Shirt Dress
             

Combining a Basic piece like a button down shirt dress, with a Printed layering piece, is the best way to bring a little spunk to a very basic piece. This military inspired jacket is also a must have piece for spring, it brings structure to the outfit, without it looking too serious.

Fit and Flare Dress

Fit and Flare dresses are one of our top 5 favorite pieces EVER. This silhouette hides the most common problem areas and accentuates the waist, making you look more proportioned. 

Chambray Shirt Dress

Chambray is here to stay and everyone should have at least one Chambray piece in their closets. We loved this shirt dress because of it´s versatility, for the transitional days, where its not hot but its not freezing cold. You can add a pair of leggings under it and a leather jacket for the colder days and wear it with sandals and an orange lip for the warmer days.

So now its time for you to get started on your transitional wardrobe makeover. Always remember to try on things, and look for shapes that are flattering to your body type. We always encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, by adding pieces that you would´t normally wear. Weather it is wearing a bright lip color or a funky high heel, Fashion is supposed to be FUN not torture.

Stay tuned for more posts this week.

Until next time

Weekly Finds : Menswear Edition

This week we wanted to go in a different direction, and decided to do a Weekly Finds for our Male Followers. Yes! we said Male Followers!

Since every time we do our research, we end up in the menswear department, Just because we love menswear, we decided to post some of our favorite finds from this past month.

Like we have said in our previous posts, These past seasons have been all about prints. This spring is no exception. You will find, leopard, Aztec inspired graphic, and ditsy flower prints on everything that is menswear related.

We loved so many pieces, so to narrow down our pics, this post will be all about Polos and Shirts. (Don´t worry, we will be posting more stuff for you guys soon.)
Here are some of our favorites From Asos.com, Forever 21, and Pacsun :

If you are a little bit weary about changing your style, the best way to test out a trend like bold prints is to start adding pieces to your wardrobe. We advice, that you begin with pieces that have a great fit to your body type and focus on the color combinations the print has. As long as you Find flattering styles and colors, you do not have to worry about any stupid rule you have heard your mom or girlfriend talk about in the past.

Hope you enjoyed this weeks post!
