Nowadays, there is fast fashion everywhere, people wear pieces once and then toss them. I used to do that until I read a book about fast fashion and the consequences in the environment and in human lives.

I am currently looking for a nude bag or even a black, something I can wear with everything. So, I put together a list of cool handbags under $500. From Stella McCartney to Gucci, they all are in Very Good to Excellent Condition. Sometimes buying used/preowned handbags is the smartest and cheapest way.
See if you like any before someone buys it. <span></span><a href="https://www.treastblog.com/2021/08/handbags-under-500-from-fashionphile.html#more">Read more »</a>Irasema Ortizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17555265036621589108noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4483693261092739182.post-10925065174693590792021-05-16T20:24:00.005-05:002022-04-06T15:54:54.110-05:00Baby Registry Must-Haves<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uskdePe6MAY/YKHeio7KV3I/AAAAAAACPHU/4Gayrxffb3kw5YDedFX_Pletu-QmRc1EQCPcBGAsYHg/s3024/Facetune_16-05-2021-12-07-55.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="2268" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uskdePe6MAY/YKHeio7KV3I/AAAAAAACPHU/4Gayrxffb3kw5YDedFX_Pletu-QmRc1EQCPcBGAsYHg/s16000/Facetune_16-05-2021-12-07-55.jpg"></a></div><p>As a new expecting mom, you are probably overwhelmed by the thought of buying everything for the new coming baby.

Coping with quarantine has been a struggle. I have had ups and downs, plus my pregnancy. It is hard to try and keep it "normal" because it is not normal being home for more than 50 days. However, I am thankful to have a home, a job, health, and a supportive husband. All right let's focus on what I really want to talk to you about; MAKEUP!<br>

Being pregnant means your cloths stops fitting at week 20 something. Although I still have several flowy dresses that fit I do have to buy bigger stuff because the belly keeps growing. I have only bought 2 maternity denim and I refuse to buy any more. Well, it turns out that flowy dresses are a trend for this spring/summer. So us pregnant ladies are in luck!<br>

I usually don't share personal things through here but today I feel motivated to share my pregnancy experience with you. I know I have been MIA for a while now, but there has been a lot going on in my life. Aside from having a lot of work my belly has been growing. I realized I was pregnant last October. I was shocked! I mean I knew it was going to happen since I was not taking any precaution but I thought it was going to take a bit longer.<br>

I found this cute <a href="https://rstyle.me/+sxx9DwSrw5i9OP_E6ocQHw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rugrats sweater</a> at a sale rack for only $7! I loved the color combination, plus I used to watch Rugrats when growing up. Since I loved it so much I've been wearing it constantly. The first time I wore the sweater with some washed jeans and oversized blazer because of the '90s!<br>

This winter I realized I didn't have any black wool coats in my closet. I have a plaided white and black coat but not an all-black one. I believe having a black coat in your closet is essential. It is a classic staple that could last you many years to come. This weekend I went shopping and stumbled upon a beautiful <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bcT3q" target="_blank">Trina by Trina Turk</a> black coat with faux fur (removable) collar.<br>

After visiting the state of Washington we thought it was a good idea to visit Canada since we were already so close. We bought an Amtrack (train) ticket from Seattle to Vancouver. We made arrangements to fly back from Canada to San Antonio. The train ride was great! They offer WiFi and a cafeteria, in case you get hungry. It was a 4-hour trip.<br>

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!<br>

After whale watching, we planned to travel south of Seattle towards Mt. Rainer. We really like to hike, especially in cool places with pine trees and mountains. I researched beforehand and many of the views were amazing!<br>

I love dressing up, but as usual either I don't want to spend any money or I procrastinate till the last minute. If you are like me then this post is for you.<br>

My husband and I had been planning this trip since 2015. We weren't married yet, but we were celebrating our anniversary. We had to postpone the trip because of family matters. After 4 years we decided to finally make the trip. This time we celebrated 2 years of marriage so we booked our flight to Seattle. Since our anniversary is September 30 we always travel during mid-October (accountant life) which happens to be one of the best times to go whale watching!<br>

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!<br>

I started reading a book called <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/8cgM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fashionopolis</a>. It talks about the history of "fast fashion" and how it plays a big impact on the environment and community. All the inhumane labor practices and contamination these companies' produce so we can be able to wear a garment a few times and then toss it. Is it worth it? Well, as I learn more about it, I don't think so.<br>

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 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/juliannawilde/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Julianna Wilde</a>'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.<br>

I've always been attracted to Valentino, and by Valentino, I mean Valentino Garavani, the designer brand. Particularly items with studs like bags, pumps, sandals, boots, espadrilles etc... Although I currently don't own anything Valentino I tend to buy things that look very similar. Like these sandals, I am featuring today!<br>
