On Sunday’s I crave pancakes. Since I had no eggs at home I decided to look for a vegan recipe. I was willing to use some apple sauce since I had a couple of them. Surprisingly there was no need. I looked up the recipe and was shocked when reading the ingredients. I had them all in my pantry!

Someone recently asked me what's the new trend for Fall 2019? I stopped to think for a minute and answered... I guess we'll find out after fashion week is over. So, with that in mind, I am writing about my favorite 2019 fall trend. I follow many street style accounts, especially photographers/influencers that attend Fashion Week. They all have one thing in common, blazers!

Wednesday, September 4, 2019Wearing Black and White for Three Days [Mix & Match]
Friday, August 2, 2019
I am always thinking about new and easy ways to use ALL of my clothes. It is a bit of a challenge because sometimes you just aren't feeling that motivated or you have no time to think about what to wear. You end up grabbing the same comfy pair of jeans and whichever top is clean. During the weekend, while browsing my Instagram, I stumbled upon Julianna Wilde's instagram page. She posts street style pictures by color and it looks impeccable. That's where I got the idea of wearing clothes by color! To make things easier, I started by organizing my closet by color and matching them.

Seattle [Travel] Guide
Tuesday, July 16, 2019
Last week I visited Seattle, Washington. This city is also, called the Emerald City because of its green landscape! It rains almost every day and the temperature is amazing! I really enjoyed this place and I am hoping to go back sooner, rather than later. I was there on a business trip, so my time was limited. These are a few things I was able to do while in Seattle.

A trend that is also popular during summer 2019 is tops with puffy sleeves! These sleeves remind me of the one's queens and princesses use in movies. Like Fiona from Shrek! HA! Well maybe not the best example, but you get the point!
Healthy Banana Bread [Eat]
Thursday, June 13, 2019
I hate when any of my food goes to waste, especially fruit! I had 2 ripe bananas and some greek yogurt so I looked up a recipe for healthy banana bread. I also had recently bought some whole wheat flour from Trader Joe's and wanted to see how it tastes.

Wednesday, May 29, 2019The past weekend I went to Austin to visit my sister-in-law. She suggested having brunch on Sunday at Easy Tiger since she lives right around the corner. She had mentioned this place before and when visiting San Antonio she brought a baguette from there.
Zacatecas [Travel]
Thursday, May 23, 2019
After visiting Mexico City, we flew into Zacatecas where the wedding was taking place. Zacatecas is a colonial small town with beautiful landscapes and cobblestone streets. You can see hills and a lot of color throughout the town. We stayed there for 2 days and here is a small guide in case you plan to go.

Shrimps Bag [Steal]
Tuesday, May 14, 2019
If you google Shrimps Bag surprisingly you will see a beaded handbag and then under all those images, you'll actually see frozen shrimps, those you get from your groceries store. I am just trying to give some perspective on how popular these beaded bags are. I have been looking at this bag since late last year but because I perceive it more as a spring/summer bag I waited until now to buy it.

Mexico City [Travel Guide]
Tuesday, May 7, 2019One of my best friends got married last weekend in Zacatecas, Mexico. The cheapest way to travel was flying from Mexico City. We decided to fly non-stop SAT-MEX and stay there for two days before the wedding festivities. Mexico City is one of the biggest cities in the world! I've never seen so many people in my life! Also, it is filled with culture and amazing history! I can say it is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen.
Cilantro Coconut Shrimp and Broccoli- Instant Pot [Eat]
Thursday, April 18, 2019
A while back I was looking for a crockpot and my husband very kindly bought be an Instant Pot, which is more of a pressure cooker. I was a bit disappointed because it had so many settings and all I wanted was a simple old crockpot with high, low and warm settings. My husband's uncle gifted us a crockpot and I was very happy! After a few years, I rediscovered the Instant Pot and started learning more about it and now I am in love. Now, I want to cook absolutely everything in it!

Yellow Plissé Pants [Steal]
Tuesday, April 9, 2019
Sunglasses: Amazon // Earrings: Forever21
90% of you voted YES on these yellow, spotted, plisse pants during a try-on session at Nordstrom Rack. I had not worn them because I was breaking my head thinking on how to style them. Sometimes the simplest things are the best, so I just decided to wear them with a black cami and a blazer. I really like how it looks, I'm sure it also looks good with a bodysuit (which I just ordered from Shein). I got these for only $18, so I looked for similar ones starting at $18.

Friday, March 29, 2019Mushroom Piccata Pasta [Eat]
Wednesday, March 27, 2019
I have been on an Italian kick lately, specially for Chicken Piccata. I took a look in my fridge and spotted all the piccata sauce ingredients. Since I was not in the mood for chicken I used some leftover spaghetti and mixed it with mushrooms, spinach, and piccata sauce. I only used olive oil because I was out of butter. But everything tastes better with butter.

Monday, March 18, 2019Castello di Amorosa -Day One [Napa Travel Guide]
Wednesday, March 6, 2019I just came back from Napa, I was there for a bachelorette trip. I had such an amazing time! Drinking wine and most importantly spending time with my girlfriends! I know Napa sounds too relaxing for a bachelorette trip, but let me just say "this is 30". In this post, I will show you what we did the first full day in Napa. We visited Castello di Amorosa and had dinner at Gott's Roadside restaurant. Next week I will post about my second day in Napa!
Green Sweater & Striped Pants [Steal]
Monday, February 25, 2019
I have been looking for a green sweater for a while but could never find the exact green tone I wanted. Until one day, while thrifting I found this knitted emerald green sweater. **It was polled and 75% of you guys voted YES**. I instantly imagined a number of outfits where this green sweater would be the focal point! I wanted to wear it with a pair of lavender pants, trying to make a bolder statement, but when I tried it on I wasn't feeling it.
Orange Vintage Blazer [Steal]
Tuesday, February 19, 2019I scored this amazing Escada vintage blazer at a thrift shop! I was drawn by the color, the fabric and then when I saw it was Escada I couldn't dare to put it back. I can tell is vintage because of the shoulder pads and it was designed by the late Margaretha Ley. I actually polled the blazer and it was voted 50% YES. After taking it to the dry cleaner the blazer looks like new! I am so glad I bought it.
Red and Pink [Steal]
Wednesday, February 13, 2019
I usually don't wear two bold colors at the same time. I always try to balance it with neutrals. Today, I decided to mix red and pink, right on time for Valentine's Day! I love how these two colors look together and make me want to keep on mixing more bold colors together.

Tuesday, January 29, 2019Tweed "Jacket" [Steal]
Monday, January 21, 2019When I see tweed the only thing that comes into my mind is Chanel! Crazy how this type of fabric became so iconic for that brand. I read that Mademoiselle Chanel got inspired by his boyfriend's tweed jacket in 1924. Still, Chanel produces the same style, a piece that I believe will never go out of fashion. Enough with the history lessons. Since this blog was created to find affordable pieces I want to share with you this tweed "jacket", although it is very far from being Chanel, I think it looks very nice!
