Hello everyone!

It's March now! it's been crazy at work lately so time has really flown by, we're working on a HUGE project but -supposedly- it will slow down by the end of next week (looking forward to it!). 

On the other hand, I keep working on building websites for small businesses here in Baja, so my days are super busy :( so writing this is the way I relax, I put my mind away from work and talk about what I'm passionate about ♥.

The outfit I'm posting today is from days ago (as always, I can't seem to catch up with myself, I'm always few days behind hehe). I felt very brave that day I must say! These are the thin/liquid leggings I talked about on this post; because they're thin they're not 100% flattering, so even when I don't have much hips (let's not even go to the no-butt part of me), I felt like a large top was a must! I liked the look a lot! but I felt paranoid while walking, I asked like 3 people if there was anything jiggling and wiggling as I walked hahaha. 

I really wanted to wear them now because winter is almost over and I don't want to even think on how these would feel on a warm/hot weather! and like I said, I really liked the overall look of it.

Specifics:

- Liquid leggings were a birthday gift (G by Guess similar here)

- Old Navy Tall Knit Sweater (Roxy similar here)

- Old Navy Tall Plaid Cobalt Blue Shirt (remixed, seen before here)

Handbag, sunglasses and accessories details can be found on previous posts, so I invite you to stay a little longer and go to previous posts ♥.

Thanks as always for your sponsorship, for reading me and sharing my blog!

Laura

Hi everybody!

I really wanted to post something on February 29th! hahaha so I'm making this quick post about an outfit I wore a few days back. I  can say I liked it but I was not entirely pleased with the length of the dress, I believe an inch shorter would have been great (who can understand me right? I know!).

Details on the outfit:

- Herringbone Vest (as seen here).

- Old Navy Tall Fit and Flare Striped Dress (wearing an S so it runs a bit big, I normally would wear an M).

Not much more on this outfit that you haven't seen before :), I think I will trim the dress a little bit and remix it, or maybe try it without the tights before I do that... the weather is still funny in Ensenada so I didn't want to risk it that much.

As always, thank you for stopping by!!!

xoxo,

Yesterday I stopped by T.J. Maxx and I went totally crazy! I was not supposed to buy anything but it was impossible! There were soooo many good findings! so I told myself: $100 USD, that's your budget, that's it!

It was SUPER hard because I found these AMAZING Via Spinga Fazian Sandals, I really wanted them but they were $99 (which is still totally a steal!). I wear 9.5 US size and it's a pain to find that exact size; I can either find tons of 10s or 9s... 9.5 are rare; there was 1 pair of Via Spigas on my size, I tried them on just to see the fit... it was like little angels were holding my feet, I swear! 

So, what I did end up buying...

1. Kate Spade 20th Anniversary "Things We Love" Special Edition Canvas Tote. This was the biggest finding of all! It was only $12 USD and totally awesome for spring coming up! (you can see here that people are selling it on Ebay for more than $65 USD, there was a second one there and I wish I had bought it as well).

2. 40 Carrots Moisture Splurge Retinol-rich moisturizing. I'm going to try this for the first time, I liked the fact that it's Paraben Free and if you have read previous posts of mine, I'm trying to stay away from Parabens and Sulfates. This was $4.99 USD at T.J.'s and you can find it on Amazon for $11 USD and other stores like Walgreens are selling it for $15 USD (exact same size and packaging). This one has awesome ratings on both places so I'll definitely let you know how it goes for me.

3. ECO Aroma Rosemary Pure Essential Oil. Got it for $4.99 USD and as you can see on their site, retail price is $8.55 USD and Amazon is selling it at $8.90 + $4.60 shipping for a total of $13.50 USD. What I'm planning to do with this is add a few drops to my conditioner to help hair growth.

4. Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm. I've been a sucker for these lately! (this is my second one actually). My sad reality is that my lips are ALWAYS dry because of my office's A/C, no matter what I do, Vaseline, Carmex, drink a gazillion liters of water, etc etc. they're just dry. I bought the first one like 2 months ago, also at T.J. Maxx and I liked the tint on it very much, my lips don't look flaky and the color is not too heavy (so I don't have to worry about staining EVERYTHING near me at the office: my cup, water bottle, mug, etc...). I got the "Baby Lips Buds" limited edition on "Oh! Orchid!" for $1.99 USD; Amazon sells this one for $5.30 USD (sad thing about limited editions: if I love it, I will never see it again unless I pay a lot!). Regular Target price is $3 USD.

5. CXL by Christian Lacroix Mini "Zinnia" Tote. I love it! It even came with a dust bag (a bit huge I must say so maybe I will be using it for other bags). I got it for $29.99 USD, you can see it here for $58.00 USD (no nude color though).

6. Eccolo Color me HAPPY wirebound journal. It has beautiful quotes in every page so I bought this as a gift for my nice that's just entering the "tween" years and needs little reminders that she has more things to be happy and greatful than she has for being sad and emo haha. Got it for $5.99 USD.

And I forgot to put them in the photo! but... also a great finding"

7. O by Oscar de la Renta Gold-Cheetah Aviator Sunglasses. I paid $9.99 USD, these sold out on Nordstrom Rack when on sale for $39 USD.

Total spent: $70 + TAX!

You will see me wearing this stuff a lot from now on! And by the way, the sandals I didn't buy :(

As always, thanks for stopping by!

I really want to say Thank You! to my family and friends that have been very active reading my blog and spreading the word, I appreciate it ♥. Thanks for your kind words and compliments, I feel really flattered! I noticed my cousins Irma and Karina were reading and sharing as well: HI! Thank you! Also my follower since forever Gaby Pohlenz: HI! yes I changed the name of the blog... I thought it needed a face-lift and I'm trying to be more active as you can see hehe.

So... regarding the day of this outfit... I totally forgot my camera! It was a few days ago and I really liked the cactus on the background :( so had to take this picture with my phone :(.

My sisters made me notice the comment box was hidden, it's supposed to work now but for some reason is not working on mobile devices, just regular laptop/desktop (I need to check that - en casa de herrero...) 

Hi everyone!

I really cannot say how many times I've used this dress... like a gazillion! I like it so much, I bought it like 2 or 3 years ago in H&M and it was like $12 USD. I'm so upset with myself that I didn't buy all prints! There were like 3 or 4 very lovely ones! 

I use this dress SO much that I've visited my brother twice in Pittsburgh and then last year he came to California and he's taken pictures of me wearing this dress EACH TIME we meet; I bet he believes I have nothing else to wear hahaha.

When in California I used this with my Keds, so it's a very remixable dress! Fabric is lovely and soft and I'm positive I will wear this until it's totally destroyed (been there, done that). I will definitely dig up those pics and make a wardrobe remix post about it.

So... details:

- Dress H&M (like I said, from 2 or 3 years ago, similar Adrianna Papell here)

- Burgundy Blazer from Forever 21 (last year, similar here - and I bet same quality since Forever 21 is not really known for quality)

- H&M Scarf (you can't really see it - sorry for the blurry pics! but it has gold thread all over it, like a very thin one... I love this scarf!!!, similar here)

- Tommy Hilfiger Leather Booties (gift from my Dad!!!, find them here - unfortunately in Amazon pics you can't see the gold metal tassels but they're great!)

Thanks for stopping by!

xoxo,

Lau
