I’m back, bitchessssss!!!!! After a long hiatus, I’m back and I’m here for good (I promise). I intend to stay and slay *Beyonce voice*. The start to my 2016 was very rough and I let that get my spirits down in a way I shouldn’t have. The only good thing I got out of the new year was my awesome boyfriend! Let’s save that for another time, on to the fashion. Spring time has arrived and it’s my favorite season … well, maybe I’m being a bit bias because it just so happens to be my birthday month, too! Happy Birthday to me!!!

When I saw this dress I could not stop thinking about it because the colors just so happen to be the go-to colors announced for Spring. When I first heard of the colors, I was hesitant because I didn’t know how Rose Quartz and Serenity (which are pale pink and pale blue colors) would mix in a outfit. When I put this outfit together – I initially went with a nude bag and a pair of nude heels but then stopped myself and thought: “What would happen if you threw in a pop of color to bring out the dress, Cristina?” It’s true what they say: “Always go with your gut feeling because it will never disappoint you.”
When I saw the outfit hanging on the hanger, I fell head over heels for the color contrast. As for footwear, I went with simple nude heels to keep the focus on the dress and bag … oh and not to mention my crazy hair-bun (lol)! Hopefully this helps you to stretch your color pallet by taking risks and mixing colors you normally wouldn’t. Happy Birthday to me and to all my April/Aries babies! May your birthday be filled with love, health, and prosperity.

Happy 1st Birthday Mimosa and Pumps!!!

I can’t believe that it’s been one year since I started this incredible journey! Happy birthday to my baby, my pride, and joy. I’m over the moon and very proud of myself for putting on my big girl panties and deciding to start this fashion blog! It hasn’t been easy but it’s been worth every single step. I’m so happy I’ve been able to collaborate with such amazing people like AlectricVisuals and attend so many events, and was even asked to be a special guest blogger for the first time at the Fashom event I attended.

Now on to all the mushy-gushy stuff (I feel like I’m receiving an award! lol), I want to thank everyone – especially my friends and family who have pushed me and told me to follow my heart and dreams and never give up because I belong in this blogger world. I want to thank my mom and brother who put up with my annoying a**! and all my questions: “Does this outfit go with these shoes?” “Does this outfit look good together?” (lmao) 😀 To the most important person, the one I owe the biggest thank you to, is Jessica Rivas. The lady behind the lens, without her my blog would not be here and wouldn’t have the most amazing pictures it has today. I would be so lost without you and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do for me and this blog. I love you and appreciate you so much. To all my love bugs (my followers), my blog would not be as successful as it is without you – thank you all for your constant support, means so much to me, I love you all!!!

On to the fashion portion, my specialty! I wanted to do a completely different look than what I usually go for. I wanted to choose a fancy, classy yet fabulous outfit. I went with this navy blue midi-skirt from Agaci which I instantly fell in love with. I was iffy because of the length and puffiness but the hell with it! My height isn’t going to stop me from wearing this gorgeous piece. For the top: I was debating on this top or a similar one in white lace and decided to stick with this one because I wanted the focus to remain on the skirt and shoes. These shoes are to die for … right? lol I wanted something more appropriate because of the fanciness of the skirt and since I didn’t have much color on, I went with a pop of color on the shoes. The jewelry i went for a very minimal touch because I was focused on the cup of mimosa (duh, it is my blog name) and of course, had to do the balloons and confetti – it’s a party!! Thanks again to everyone that has showed support and so much love, I appreciate it and can’t wait to continue to grow and collaborate on this catwalk.

Summer Fun

Edit1 Edit2 Edit3 Edit4 Edit5 Edit6 Edit Edit7

Summer has officially begun and this calls for fedoras, sunflowers, bubbles, and shorts! This outfit totally envisions what my summer outfits will consist of: a lot of flowy shirts, shorts, sandals, and a lot of accessories. This top can be worn so many different ways: dress it up for a weekend with the girls, with some jeans and wedges, or dress it down, as I did here, for a day having fun out on the town. I love the color burgundy, and the concept of the off the shoulder top; I feel gives it such an elegant touch. I decided to pair the shirt with some distressed denim boyfriend shorts because Miami is way to hot too be wearing skin-tight jeans. To give the outfit color I decided to add snake skin gladiators, and a fedora for that summer feel. On to accessories, this pearl necklace that I’ve been getting a lot of use of is the perfect final touch to any shirt that has a low neckline, yet another elegant, but inexpensive touch.

Thanks to Angie from @Alectricvisuals for shooting this look, and making me feel like a grown up kid again; make sure to go ahead and check out her website. Stay safe and dry, also a side note all the clothing items tagged below are either similar, or same style items just in a different colors, but all pieces still work together to make an outfit, I got y’all, always.;)

Pleated skirts and crop-tops, what better combo for spring!!! I know the pleated skirt is loud but hey, if you’re not going to take a risk on your outfits then whats the point of living?! (lol) So I went with touches of hot pink like the necklace, which is so old but comes in handy many times for me when I’m wearing neutral colors and need that loud statement piece. These earrings are so in right now and can go with anything. The cross body bag is also another item I’ve owned for a while now. I took it on my trip to New Jersey and New York a while ago and till this day I still get compliments on it, it’s spacious and fits everything I need in a small bag. The crop top is a basic top from H&M and is so versatile! It can be dressed up or down depending on the look you want. The skirt is perfect for brunch, baby showers, and dinner dates, etc… The color is in right now and not to mention, right up my alley. I added camel-colored heels to the outfit just to tone it down a bit since the focus of the outfit was the yellow and hot pink.

P.S. Sorry for the disgusting nails and hair! I always have them done and for some reason, this day I was a hot mess and the weather was horrible towards the end of the shoot

P.P.S Now, I just had to mention this location! Jesus, I can shoot every look at The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. I’m so in love with the old feel, colors, and architecture, it’s beyond amazing!!!

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I always need help in giving gifts. Reason why today – I have provided a gift guide for the lucky men in our lives and for the women we love so much.
Husbands/Fiance’s/Boyfriends:

raybansWhat better way to show your man some love than with these awesome gifts?

  • Apple TV
  • Sunglasses
  • Watch
  • Wallet
  • iPhone case
  • Go-Pro
  • Shoes
  • Headphones

If you’re not into buying gifts and want to get creative and make your own, here’s a really cute gift to make!

DIY (Jar of Love)

  • Buy a Mason jar
  • Cut out 100 pieces of paper and write on each strip reasons why you love him

 I also filled the bottom of the jar with heart shaped marbles that I purchased from the dollar store to add details.

Once you present them with this thoughtful gift – he has to read one piece of paper each day and relate what he read to you and tell you what he loves about you in return! This builds a bond and makes it a fun and very inexpensive gift.

Sidenote: No clothes as gifts! I’ve learned to stay away from apparel for my boyfriend because we have completely different styles!

Wife’s/Fiance’s/Girlfriends:

Valentines For HerWant your lovely lady to appreciate you? Well, be sure to get her any of these gifts and she will be head over heels over you!

  • A lush bomb
  • Personalized photo collage
  • iPhone case
  • Pink champagne
  • Candy
  • Teddy bear
  • Candles
  • Flowers
  • Spa day
  • Perfume
  • Jewelry

The cherry on top can be the dinner you would like to take her to or cooking for her (this is a must! Lol) Hopefully this helped and guided you in the right direction to purchasing the perfect gift for your loved ones.

Fall in Line

Hello love bugs it’s been a while again and I’m so sorry I’m always late on posting but my life just gets crazier and crazier by the second seriously. So while rummaging through my “shopping mall” which my friends just so happen to call my closet that lol, I found this hot little number! This look is so me, you can rock this on a dinner date, bar hopping night, basically anything that has the words night life written all over it.

imageimageimageimageimageimageimage Distressed denim, surprise surprise I wasn’t lying when I said I crave and need distressed denim in my life. Surprisingly so these jeans are from Forever21, and though it did take a little getting used to. I just feel they don’t flatter my assets the way my favorite jeans would, but the jeans are an awesome accessory to any outfit, they get the job done. The striped crop top is also from Forever21, the top can be paired with practically anything a skater skirt, leather shorts, you name it and for the price $10.00 who wouldn’t buy that? The military inspired vest I got as a birthday gift from my sissy in law and it’s so me. I love that it has mesh in the back and you can see the striped shirt too, doesn’t hide the shirt how any regular old vest usually would. So brownie points for the sissy in law, she knows me oh so well already lmao.

On to the details, the shoes another Forever21 item. Merely enough they are high yet comfortable, and not to mention the same material as the back of the vest. In my opinion they add the sexiness to the outfit along with the lipstick; I like to call it fate, what I’m I saying? Of course it’s fate duhhh. On to Lipstick talk! Heroin, from Mac. I’ve heard so many things about this lipstick and the first time I saw it I was like wow bright but who better to try it then me haha 😀 I believe it added just the right amount of pop to the outfit and the matte finish is my favorite. The bag, oh this bag that had me on a man hunt to find a bag that would liven up this outfit just give it that wow factor, and Jesus did I hit the nail on the head with it. I went everywhere looking for a purple bag, but just not any purple the right purple and low and behold Target of all places. The bag was right there as I walked in bam in your face sitting there waiting for me to scoop it up and debit please to the cashier!!!!

I hope this inspired you to not be afraid to throw in a little pop of color to any black and white outfit you may be wearing. Toddle loves until next time.
