Rent the Runway Experience [Steal]

One of my closest friends tied the knot last weekend and for her wedding, I decided to use Rent the Runway. I usually buy a new dress for every wedding I attend and then never use it again. I think renting a dress is such a great idea because you spend only a fraction of what it really costs. You save money and time.

Things to do in Lima [Travel]

Lima is the capital of Peru and it is located in the coast. There are a lot of things to do in Lima but since we were there for only 2 days we just did a few things. Below I will point out what to do and where to eat (very important). We started our tour downtown Lima, to be precise at Plaza San Martin.

Vegan Poblano Mac and Cheese [Eat]

I have been trying to eat healthier by having a vegetarian/vegan diet during the week and allowing myself to eat animal products during the weekends. Also, I started cooking more, maybe because I got awesome wedding gifts for my kitchen. The deal is that we are having a Thanksgiving potluck at work and one of my coworkers is vegan (he doesn't eat any animal product, not even honey).

Two Days in Cusco [Travel]

On our way to Machu Picchu, we stopped by Cusco for only two days. We got there on a Saturday with the best disposition of going out and explore everything! We asked our taxi driver about any tours and he mentioned a quite few, but they all started pretty early.

Tie-Front Dotted Blouse [Steal]

A few weeks ago I saw the H&M Fall Collection TV spot. It features many of the fall collection items, but this tie-front dotted top caught my full attention, not only because of the style but because of the price.

Travel Guide and Advice to Machu Picchu

If you are planning on visiting Peru make sure Machu Picchu is on the list. Machu Picchu is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and it is a must! I've seen many pictures but being there is something else, it is out of this world. It is incredible to see how the Incas created this citadel on the top of the mountains. I would love to go into details about the history and who discovered these ruins (Hiram Bingham in 1911) but I will let you research it or let your tour guide tell you all about it. It is very important to buy your tickets before traveling, probably months in advance. I think we bought ours like one month before the trip. They do not sell tickets at the entrance. Here is the link to purchase them, machupicchu.gob.

Brocade Booties [Steal]

Several weeks ago my future sister in law had her birthday and as a good Mexican I procrastinated and ended up buying part of her gift last minute (I had already 2 pairs of earrings as a gift, but wanted to give her something else).

Fall Ready [Steal]

I know it’s not even September but I am starting to get tired of summer. Here in Texas temperatures are very hot, sometimes up to 100 degrees! Don’t get me wrong, I love summer; long days and sunny skies, but I am pretty excited about cooler temperatures and PSLs. 🍵🎃

Sayulita Pueblo Mágico [Travel]

Sayulita was one of the places we visited during my bachelorette party.  I really wanted to visit this town because it’s on the list of “Pueblos Magicos”.  (What does that mean? That it is a "Magical Village" is a place with symbolism, legends, history, important events, day-to-day life – in other words, "magic" in its social and cultural manifestations, with great opportunities for tourism.)

Choker Neck Dress [Steal]

Not sure if this is an old, new or non-existing trend, but I really liked this choker neck embroidered dress. I love that it looks casual for work and fashionable for happy hour/dinner. Plus, it's always good to keep an LBD in your closet. I am actually wearing this outfit today for work because I have a family dinner after!

Guide for a Bachelorette Party in Mexico [Travel]

A month ago my friends and I were celebrating my bachelorette party in Mexico! 
I wanted to go to Puerto Vallarta-Punta Mita-Sayulita, So we did! We had an amazing time. As I mentioned in my previous post "Punta Mita", we stayed at the Iberostar Punta Mita and transported ourselves in a taxi. We had a blast, although I got sea sick, I will do it all over again, but this time with some Dramamine.

The Most Unique Restaurant in Puerto Vallarta [Eat & Travel]

During my bachelorette trip, my MOH made reservations at this super cool restaurant called "La Leche" which means "The Milk". This place is one of the most unique restaurants I have ever been to.

Mexican Themed Bridal Shower [Steal]

The month of June has been a month full of bridal showers! I've had one every week so I will be posting about them. Initially, I wanted to get married in Mexico with tequila and delicious Mexican food, but at the end, we decided it will just be easier to do it in San Antonio. When my mother asked me what I wanted for my bridal shower I told her that all I wanted was tequila and Mexican food, so her and my aunts threw me a small Mexican Party.

Double Buckle Belt [Steal]

Back in 2015 was when I first spotted Kendall Jenner wearing a double buckle belt. I immediately thought I must have it! I first ordered one through Amazon, (Large Size) but it was extremely small. I was very disappointed and thought that maybe I just don’t look good with belts. So, I returned it and got over it.

Knit Weather [Steal]

Winter is still here but in San Antonio weather is always unpredictable, one day it's too hot and the next day too cold. But today we have the perfect weather for a knit top because it is not too hot but not too cold.

Hot dogs are one of my favorite foods. When I learned about Frank, I didn't hesitate for even a second about trying it. Frank which is an Austin-based restaurant recently opened here in San Antonio. Frank specializes in homemade artisanal sausages, offering unique flavors such as antelope, rabbit, venison, alligator and others.

Perfectly Imperfect: Vest Outfit [Steal]

I've always loved vests! I think it's a piece of apparel that makes you feel good. It's happened to me that I wake up and my self-esteem is through the floor. Trying out a million outfits and still thinking I look fat or everything looks too tight. Well, a vest covers those "imperfections", well at least that's how I see it. Plus, it makes me feel stylish! 

Tuscany in Texas [Travel]

Last weekend I visited the Texas Hill Country. We stopped by the Duchman Winery, in Driftwood, Texas. We went there specifically for the wine before stuffing our faces at the famous BBQ place, Salt Lick. There are many vineyards/wineries in the Texas Hill Country, but this one looked very Italian, like Tuscany.  Although I've only been to Rome, Venice, and Florence, I've seen movies (Under the Tuscany Sun) and this place, reminded me of it. We did some wine tasting and then got one glass of our favorite wine.

Sequins for Brunch [Steal]

Sequins are always fun to wear! Although when I hear the word sequins, I usually think of nightlife, new years eve, Las Vegas or something similar to that. I know sequins can be a little too much, but if you match them with the right pieces it makes the perfect daytime outfit. 

Pattern Print Dress [Steal]

Loving the weather right now, especially because I can wear boots with a dress. I got this super cute retro-looking pattern print dress for Christmas and I absolutely LOVE it! (Thank you so much Julia & Jeanie, you guys rock!) I paired the dress with some knee-high boots that I got a while back!
