What U WANt: Inspiration by Rodarte

One of the things that really called my attention on the fall runways were rodarte-esque (spider web) tights. They were in many colors but the ones that really called my attention were the black ones. Above you can see them in white and black, and Rihanna performing on the VMA wearing them.

I was browsing through Urban Outfitters and saw this very similar tights (below).

Of course, they are not as great. But if you really want to get a similar apperance, you just have to cut them and "mess" them up a bit.

You think they'll work??

NeW BuYS..NEw WeaRS...

LeGgINGs!!



Last Sunday, my mom and I went shopping, so we stopped at Marshalls. You must think "Marshalls, what the heck are you gonna find there?". Well actually, I don't know if it's different in Puerto Rico, but me and my mom find great things at great prices. I've bought Betsey Johnson bags and pajamas, Jessica Simpson shoes, American Eagle jeans and underwear, profesional hair products, just about everything at a lower price.



Anyway, I bought some leggings too. In the pics below, I look like I was modeling American Apparalel leggings, Don't u thinK?

BLACK w/ ELaStiC HOop

My mom said that these type of leggings were somewhat basic to your wardrobe and can be used with almost anything since they're just plain black. I personally think that they look good with flats and heels that show off your ankles, or can be used as tights with boots.

Poof Leggings

PUrpLe FaKE DENim

These faking purple denim leggings called my attention when I saw them so I just grabbed them as soon as I touched the really soft fabric.





Poof Leggings, BCBG shoes

Psycodelic Pattern

I really don't know with what I'm gonna wear this colorful patterned leggings, but I really do like them. Maybe with this all black outfit to make them standout or something.





Connection 18 Leggings








You all know I've been looking for a biker jacket. Well my mom refuses to buy me one. She says that's it too pricey and she dosen't like all the faux leather ones we've seen ( I personally admit they were a bit too fake). So we found this 100% cotton one ( I know it's not the same as leather). Since I live in the HoT island of Puerto Rico I think it's more convinient to wear cotton instead of leather.





I made a few outfits I'll probably wear later. I'm just sooo exited to wear it!!!!




Jacket: Sweet Child

Dress: Forever21 (old)

Shoes: Forever 21

Scarf: Macys

Dress: Forever21
Shoes: Kenneth Cole

Latest Obsession!!

KARLA MANIA!!! Are you with me or not?? Everyday I check her totally ah-mazing addictive blog to see what's her newest outfit. Don't you thnk she's an inspiration to your daily what-to-wear?? Her lovely fringe, those flattering poses, and wonderful outfits puts together she looks so amazingly beautiful. So, I asked Karla for an interview and she immidiately said yes.


A: Some are hippy, girly, skater, goth, everybody has one. What's your style?

K: My style is definitely a mixture of all sorts of elements. Overall, it's very feminine but at the same time I love wearing men's pieces like boyfriend jeans and oversized blazers. My favorite combo is heels and men's dress socks!

A: Who is the most stylish woman you know?

K: Audrey Hepburn. Her style wasn't so much about the clothes she wore but rather her stubbornness to outside influences. At the time, icons like Marilyn Monroe were society's perception of beauty, but then Audrey came along and offered a strong, confident, unsubmissive, and less blatantly sexual model. To put it simple, Audrey was amazing because she wore what made her feel beautiful.

A: Who or what has influenced your style the most?

K: Time has definitely influenced my style. In the beginning of high school, I'd try and dress "different" but in the end I was always conforming to what everyone else was wearing at the time. Time has allowed my style to evolve into something that fits me and my personality much better.

A: What do you find incredibly stylish in a woman?

K: A woman bursting with the right amount of confidence.

A: What makes Karla, the style-icon blogger, Karla?

K: Well that is quite the honorable title! Thank you! I guess it's just about wearing what I love... even if that means I wear certain pieces a ridiculous amount of times.

A: Any shout outs??

K: Shout out out to my cousin for letting me use his computer as I did this interview! Thanks :)

Isn't she great??!! Well, I'd like to thank Karla for making this interview possible!!! Thank YOU!!

iheartu!

New Buys!!!

In school, we have this "ceremony" where we oficially start our grad class activities and parties. Anyway, the dress code was informal, so I imidiately thought of my Betsey Johnson pale pink sequin dress. I finally found the perfect ocassion. Until, they announced that dress could not be with straps. I could not believe I didn't own the proper dress. With all the school homework and tests, my mom went out to buy me my dress.

Unlike some moms, my lovely mother has good taste when it comes to fashion (thank goodness). She entered when of our fav stores BCBG. She bought me this fabulous satin dress.

This cream satin dress fits my body so well and looks so proper too. In the center it has this embroided tulle that makes it seem so delicate. I just ah-dore my new dress!!! I can't wait to wear it this Thursday.

But wait, I still need to pair it up with some fashion accesories!!! That's one of my fav parts!!! Let u guys know how it went!!

iheartu!

Andrea

I had a DREAM...

I dram about fashion. About style. About how it changed.

How a simple tee with a vest and flats became the new sweats and crocs. We all had to look overdone to look into fashion. What was that all about? Fashion does change, but style dosen't.

Style is not about having a thousand new trends on you outfit. It's about expressing yourself Trends are new things that people start wearing, but it dosen't mean you have too.

I sometimes believe that trends are somewhat unreasonable. First of all, some people just don't look good on them. They wear them because everyone else is. Even though, they look stupid. It's better to look good than stupid.

So wear what you know is right for you. What you like and feel good in. When you look in the mirror and like what you see.. that's what's right. So what if your not into fashion and trends.. your into style, just like everybody else is. Style is not what's in , it's what you do to express yourself, what you do on the outside to make people recognize you... that's your style.

iheartu!
Andrea
P.S I know it may sound a bit dramatic!!

What 2 Wear??? I'm thinking!!

For Friday (Casual day!!! yay), I was thinking of wearing this:

The printed vest shirt.

It is veryyyyy hottt here in Puerto Rico like right now it's 90 degrees. The school says I can't wear shorts. uggghhh. So, I don't know what to wear it with. This is such a bummer!!! What 2 wear???? Another Fashion Crisis!

iheartu!

Andrea

What's in your mind when you hear Forever 21?

Lots of you think cheap, fake, immitation. Well Forever21 isn't always as cheap as you thought so.

You all probably know that I've been looking for a reasonable (cheap) motorcycle jacket. Well, I knew that Forever21 must have one (even if it was faux leather). So I checked and guess what I found.

I thought it looked great at first and I was minutes to buying it. Until, I saw the price...$150 in Forever21. I've never seen anything cost over $100 in Forever 21. I was schocked. The thing is, that it's 100% leather. Not everything in Forever21 is fake.

iheartu!

Adding DENIM to your Wardrobe!

Denim is one of the world's most famous fabrics. We use it mostly on jeans. This summer I spent it wearing everything but jeans, only skirts, shorts, and dresses. I did missed my pair of blue jeans that make peoples outfits complete. So why not wear denim in many other ways.

1. Denim Outerwear

They are ah-bsolutely cheaper than that leaher jacket you've been saving for.

A vest goes with almost everything and so does this one.

My mom's old dark wash denim blazer looks great with my new floral dress, it kinda gives it an edge.

2. Denim Shoes

Denim flats are so ah-dorable yet so chic and simple, don't you think?

3. Denim Dress

Fabulous!!! Chic!!! This denim dress looks totally great. It looks retro and effortlessly chic. I think this is my fav denim pick!

In the fashion world there are sooo much more denim options to look after. I just told you one of my latest obsessions. Denim can be so many things!

iheartu!

Andrea

WENT SHOPPING!!!!!!! Continued!!

While I was looking for a swim suit (post below), I bought other things too!!

1. Printed Vest Shirt

It's a white t-shirt with this hippie vest and necklace printed on it and the at the bottom it has this upside down U shape. I really liked the creativity of this shirt. I'll probably pair it with a pair of skinny jeans or latex leggings i've been dying to buy.

2. Wrinkled Skinny Jean or Pant

Unfortunately, thanks to my not so good quality web-cam the picture wasn't so detailed. This jean or pant (don't know which) is skinny... I know I said I was somewhat sick of them, but when I saw this wrinkled jeans I just wanted to show them off with all those new blouses and shirts I've been dying to wear. Don't you think that is a good reason? BTW my mom bought the same pair but in green.

3. Fabulous Vest

This navy vest has this sewed cream and purple patterns with beautiful gold chains and like coins on the the edges. I found this vest very boho like. I can use this to throw on a simple shirt with jeans and look great.

Let me know if you liked!!!

iheartu!

WHAT 2 WEAR SOLVED...well kind of...

This friday at school we are having this BACK 2 School Pool Party and I went shopping with my mother today or a new Bathing Suit (I've worn out my summer one).

According to my mother, I had to buy a conservative bathing suit that wouldn't show off my body way too much... since it's for school. I usually buy my swim suits at Everying But Water which is great but somewhat pricey. The nicest one I found was a one piece red one that suited my body well, but I didn't like it much. We couldn't find a bathing suit anywhere. I even tried American Eagle, which is a big risk since every girl in school shops there I wouldn't be the only one in that bathing suit.

We checked Bora Bora, Old Navy, Arden B. (just in case), and many others. We came in every store that had a swim apparel. We walked by the new Tommy Hilfiger store that opened since we saw a small swim section.

I found this swimsuit!




Colors: White (backround), Navy, and Red
Price: $39.99 (used to be $82, SALE!!)
Style: Monokini

I know these nautical colors may seem too 4th of July-ish, but I kinda liked it. It looked great on me and I felt comftrable in it so I bought it.

The next what 2 wear problem is what to wear that day at school since you can go however you want. But no worries, I'll come up with something!!

i heart u!

Andrea

No, I didn't forget u!!!

I've just been a bit too busy during this week. I just took a break from homework. I'm trying to relax by thinking about fashion, which I ah-dore!!

My WishList !!!!!


1. Urban Outfitters Dolce Vita's Bomber Jacket

Do you love it or do you loooooove it? I've been looking for the purfect leather jacket, but when I saw this one online, I fell in love. I'm looking for a cheaper version of $495. Even though this is the most fabulous one I've ever seen.

2. This Colorful Dress!!

Guess what? It's Forever21, well actually it's twelvebytwelve, which is another F21 store. I find it quite colorful and flirty. Can't wait till'it comes out!!! I'm probably wearing it for my Grads Class Night. It'a informal party where they give name out the elected candidates and give out our grad blouses.

I haven't been searching the web too much lately, but I'll try to keep you up with the latest!

Just Got Home from School!!! New Crisis!!

So, you know I posted about how strict my school was about uniforms and that I couldn't go way ahead to gossip girl trends, right? Well guess what? There was a school assembly and the school just got wayyyyy more strict than ever.
New Rules:

1. No Big Earrings, only earing that stick to the earlobe
2. You can only use hair accesories that are the colors white, navy, and black (ugly colors)
3. No nail colors (only clear, it used to be pale colors)
4. Boys hair must be short
5. No gum in campus (I don't chew gum, it causes blowting) or else suspension

This is so unfair. My school might as well be military! I just bought new hair accesories and I don't think none of them were white, navy, or black. Ughhhh!!! How can I look great with all these rules. What can I do about that?

Anyway, today I had a great day! And I got SUPER GREAT NEWS I'm running for School President!!! I know it may sound geeky and stuff, but everyone kept telling me how responsible and smart I was (sorry I'm being so modest) and it just kinda happened. I'm running against this guy who is... well...lets just say everybody laughed when they heard he was running. I felt bad about him, even though he's not the nicest guy around. I'm thinking about what cool stuff I'm gonna propose so people vote for me and cool ways to make my campaign. Any tips!!??

Well, if you want you can send me some of your first day of school outfits and I'll be sure to make this great contest about who one.

i heart you!

School Starts MONDAY (for me)!!

I just want to go to school already. I can't stand the exitement. I wish fall was here already, you know what I mean? Sadly, I won't be able to strut that totally fabulous back to school outfit some of you do ( I go to private school). Instead I'll be showing off the same uniform everyone else is wearing. Unfortunately, my school is a bit strict, so I can't go all the way to Gossip Girl (bummer). My school is so lame only when it comes to uniforms and trends.
Rules:

• Can't use other than the school's official jacket
• No nail painting (but you can still do nude and french styles)
• Can only use school black shoes (flats)
• No pins, belts, hats, tights, too short socks
• No makeup (still, I use not noticible kind)

I hope my school not the only school with those kind of rules. Yet, I do wear jewelry and cool head accesories. This semester I'll try to go with real cool ones. Even though school uniform rules are not the best, I like wearing uniforms. I like not being able to burn my mind everyday picking a different outfit and wasting money so I don't wear the same thing again. You just wear the same thing everyday just like everyone else. That way nobody talks about how exotic your new blouse is or how out of style you look. Though, the school has days when they let you come the way you want to which is nice once in awhile. And it's okay since plaid is in right??

School starts in 2 days!!! I know most of you don't want to even think about it. But I can't wait to get to see everyone!!! Though clases get in the way!! Make sure you go with that great outfit you've been waiting to wear!

i heart u!

The Sick and Tired, Waiting to Throw Out Post

The title says it all. Some people just hate trends and still wear them or try them out, don't know why. So here's a list of things I'm waiting to go to the out list (I think some are).





1. SKINNY JEANS:





This is a trend that is soooo big!! Skinny jeans go with almost everything, even dresses. I was ah-bsolutely in love with them at first sight since I love retro style (sometimes) and this jeans were soo 80's. But now, I'm tired of squeezing my legs into them, you know what I mean?? I want to be able to feel free and relaxed instead of tight and stiff. But, I'm starting to get a vibe their somewhat out of style.





2. MIXING PRINTS:





I've tried this and it's kinda hard not to look like a person who dosen't know how to dress themselves. Some people can pull this off, but I probably can only pull two different prints together. I'm not really tired of this trend, I'm just not good at pulling it off.





3. CROCS:





I'm being totally honest and frank with this one. I bought crocs when they first came out, I never wore them casually, I just wore them to the beach when snorkling (their rubber material and holes were easy to swim with). But now in school, people wear them with everything, especially with socks under them. I know they maybe comfy, but I can't picture myself hanging out with crocs. No offense to all you croc lovers... but I just don't like them at all.





4. SWEATS:






Not for school period. It's just not right. If you really like them wear them in a more dressy form (check out a post I made The Look Book) or just wear them at home for lounging. No airplains either.... they look like you just jumped out of bed. I've personaly never (ever) bought sweats... I've never been interested.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone, please let me know by a comment. And if you are sick and tired, waiting to throw out too please let me know.

i heart you!

Andrea

P.S Sorry I haven't posted in such long time!
