TRIBAL SPIRIT

The ethnic trend was definitely a stand out during the entire summer season, we were able to find this influence everywhere, from the prints, styles, on pants, short, skirts you name it, there was a piece for everyone. It’s amazing how over the past years tribal inspired clothes, have become a must have for summer, mostly because they are so cool, fresh and easy to wear, for a casual day out, weather it’s on the beach or the city, they just work every time. And they worked during the summer for me too, while in Cuba, I got to wore my new hot pair of shorts, for a day out on The Havana, it was a hot day and we did a lot of walking, so I had to wear something comfortable and fresh, that would help me survive a long day in the heat. I decided to keep my look simple, by pairing my shorts with a basic white top and nude sandals, then pulled my hair up on a crossed over braid band, to match the style of my bottoms, giving the look the complete ethnic vibe.

NOT EVERYTHING IS BLACK & WHITE

This is another post from my awesome trip to cuba, this time I’m sharing one of the easy summer looks I wore during my week there! It was pretty hot most of the days, and since we walk a lot around the city, this flirty dress was the perfect choice for a long day on the tropical Havana. I love the black & white checkers print, it’s so on trend for the season, besides it’s really fun and fresh to wear during the day, to complete this super simple look, I added a belt to cinch in and highlight the waist, a big chunky necklace and a cool pair of sunnies. Of course I would’ve loved to wear a super high pair heels, with my pretty dress, but it would've been kind of difficult to walk around town on heels, so I had to put style a side, and dress my look down by wearing a pair of comfy flat sandals, to take on the beautiful streets of the havana.



Checkers print dress - Zara / Silver frame sunnies - Dolce & Gabbana / Black flat sandals - Nine West.

Have a happy Monday!

CUBA PHOTO DIARIES

After spending an incredible summer away, I finally got back home, now I’m more than ready to get my life back on track, and start posting and sharing all that has happened so far. A month away may seem like a lot, but it was just the right amount of time, even tough it went by so fast, I have to say, I did make the most of it. During the past month, I had the chance to travel, relax, have fun, go out and enjoy to the max the time with my family, friends and boyfriend. One of the highlights of my summer was definitely my trip to Cuba, I spent a week on the beautiful Havana, which is a place I thought I wouldn't go back to, but some how I ended up returning sooner than I thought, and it was as amazing as It was two years ago. I had such a nice time, we got to go to so many great places and walked around the city, just admiring their colonial architecture, which is full of history,  just being there you feel like time got stucked in the 50s, the buildings, the cars and the entire vibe, really transports you back in time. It was great to go back and enjoy the culture, food and the mojitos of course of this super fun city once again. Here are a few photos I took during the trip, to share with you this experience, and for you to see some of the places and details that make this city so famous.

Have an amazing week!!
