Embroidered Shirt

Poplin shirts are having a major moment right now. I love how designers are upping the ante of casual wear, by adding whimsical details to our usual, everyday shirts. They come with ruffles, tassels, flared sleeves, and a long line of etceteras.

The moment I spotted this particular top, I coveted it; its allure residing on how it mixes your typical baby blue stripes with the floral embroideries, a style very à la Gucci. I kept the look on the cool tones, by sticking to blues, whites, and silvers. This way, the outfit results fun, yet smart enough for a casual day of work. 

Hope you guys like it!

Love, A

Cold Shoulder Treatment

While looking into this season’s trends, I read somewhere on the net that “if it isn’t off the shoulder it isn’t right”. And according to every other designer, this is one the truest statements that sums SS17’s runways. Although slowly, but surely the shoulder mania is reinterpreting itself -I dare to say that we will soon be witnessing the revival of the one-shoulder trend, as opposed to the current whole collarbone exposure-, we still are in the major boom of cold shoulders. The already hot temperatures, make me very thankful for the trend, and so, here I leave you with a little number that makes me crave even more for summer. I hope you guys like it! 

Love, A

PS: Oh and btw, I’m absolutely nuts over these gorgeous, super colorful and practical Colombian bags! So proud of my friend from @Mestizo_sv!

An all time classic

I really like this top’s asymmetric cut. Its shape, along with the zip up detail revamp the all time classic white shirt. I thought mixing it with a pair of shorts, made the shirt’s structure stand out a bit more, considering how it falls on the back. And to keep it simple, I threw in these really cool laser-cut oxfords. 

I wish you all a lovely weekend!

Love, A

Into The Eyes of the City

Ok, so remember that cute little cabin I talked to you about not long ago? Well, today’s backdrop happens to be the same house but from a different perspective. Its garden is designed to make the most of the gorgeous city views, and by night, the flickering lights of the town below find their reflections in the stars that stud the sky. I hope you like my outfit, perfectly fit for a relaxed day in the mountains.

Retro Garden

Hi everyone! I’m so sorry if I have been a little bit absent this week, as I mentioned on yesterday’s post, I had a project in my hands that absorbed my attention completely. However, I didn’t want to end the week without posting one of my looks. It was funny when we shoot this outfit because we actually had little faith in the set; but after editing the images, we actually found the whole vibe of the place pretty damn cool. Here, I mixed a lovely ruffled top with a pair of baggy boyfriend jeans. 

I hope you guys like it and have an amazing weekend!

Countryside Cabin

A friend of mine owns a small house that clings to one of the sides of San Salvador’s volcano. It is a very cozy cabin that houses a garden double its size, with striking views of the city. Last week, for a change, I burrowed the place and went over to catch a breath of clean air. Here are a few shots we took from our visit to the place.
