Sometimes it's so easy get caught up in trends and current fashion that your personal take on style might be compromised. I know this happens to me every once in a while especially after flipping through magazines and other blogs and seeing whats "in". I have to sometimes remind myself to simply go with my gut and wear what feels good and not think about anything else. The best looks are always the ones that are pure instinct and show your personality. This somewhat imperfect look may not the best but it's all "me". I piled over the knee chunky socks over almost see thru tights, along with a slip which belonged to a vintage dress I had hidden away in my closet, kept warm with this slouchy leopard cardi and headed out the door to meet my favorite part of london. The weather was a bit chilly and being from Cali, it really reminded me of the beginning of fall even though everyone kept saying it was summer time in London! 
Aveces es tan facil perderte entre las tendencias y la moda que tu estilo personal se podría ver afectado. Esto me pasa de ves en cuando…especialmente cuando veo revistas y blogs y estoy viendo lo que esta de moda. Aveces tengo que recordarme a mi misma que siga mi intuición y ponerme lo que me sienta bien y no pensar en otra cosa. Los mejores atuendos siempre son aquellos que son de instinto puro y que muestran tu personalidad. Este look medio imperfecto no será lo mejor pero soy yo. Me puse unos calcetines a la rodilla sobre medias semi transparentes, junto con un slip que le pertenecía a un vestido vintage que tenia escondido en mi closet, y me mantuve caliente con este cardigan de leopardo. Después salí a conocer mi parte favorita de Londres. El clima estaba un poco frío y siendo de california, me recordó al principio de otoño aunque todos en Londres decían que era tiempo de verano.

Hanging out around Washington Square Park, only a couple blocks away from where I was staying last week. I will be leaving to Paris tomorrow! I'm so excited right now I can't even describe. A week of walking around Le Marais, sipping wine at cafes and reminiscing  the days when I was once 17, naive and living in Paris. It's been years since I lived there and I really can not believe it's taken me this long to go back. Possibly the most amazing magical time I have ever lived in my short young adult life. So for now, À tout à l'heure! See you soon!  xx francesca
Pasando el tiempo en Washington Square Park. Mañana me iré a Paris! Estoy tan emocionada que no se puede describir mi emoción! Pasare una semana caminando por La Marais, tomando vino en los cafe's, recordando buenos tiempos que pasaron cuando vivia en parís a los 17 años. No puedo creer como ha pasado el tiempo!. Hace muchos años que no regreso. Esta etapa de mi vida fue la mejor época de mi vida.  À tout à l'heure! Nos vemos pronto! xx Francesca

NYC's hidden gems

New York might be a bit of a crazy experience but if you look close enough you find beautiful peaceful places in the midst of all that choas. Locations filled with flowers, people enjoying a bit of silence while reading books, and even secret treehouses open to the public (like in this garden). I really wanted to take some photos in the treehouse but a more experienced non rookie knew better and closed off his spot on the porch of the treehouse way before I even got there. Non the less, got to enjoy the beautiful peace the locals maintain within the garden and spend some time with my friend. Loved knowing there is a green friendly part to NY. 
Nueva York, para mi gusto, es un poco Caótico... Pero, dentro de una ciudad con tanto caos puedes encontrar lugares de paz y tranquilidad espectaculares. Lugares donde puedes encontrar calma, estar con la naturaleza y tal vez sentarte y gozar de un buen libro. Mi amiga encontro este jardin con una casa de arbol divino. Mi intencion era subir y tomar unas fotos dentro de la casita pero alguien me gano la idea. De todos modos pude disfrutar de un poco de tranquilidad antes de regresar al ruido de la ciudad y pase tiempo ahi con mi amiga.
