Hey guys! Wearing Denim on Denim this beautiful day in Paris (last week). This combination never fails. A classic that can be worn so many different ways and with so many different styles and somehow always in fashion.  If I could of added heels I would have, but that is pretty impossible when you are walking from one end of paris to the other. This photo is from Paris (sorry for being behind in the blogging!) I am currently sitting at a cafe in florence, located in the middle of a beautiful plaza with lounge music in the background. Sipping some wine while listening to the fluent italian all around me (not understanding what the hell they are saying..but it's beautiful non the less). France is amazing and of course they have a certain flair but… I have found a new love for Italy and their simple sharp confident style since arriving here. And of course, it's all intoxicating in the most beautiful way.
Hola chicas! Usando mesclia sobre mesclia en este dia. Esta combinación nunca falla! Es una combinación que se puede usar de muchos estilos diferentes y siempre esta a la moda. Me gustaría usar esto con tacones pero estaba caminando por toda la ciudad de Paris y era prácticamente imposible usar tacón. Por el momento estoy en Florencia, escribiendo desde un cafe al centro de una plaza, escuchando música, a la gente hablando italiana y tomando una copa de vino. Los franceses tienen un estilo increíble, claro pero me estoy encontrando muy enamorado con el estilo italiano. Sencillo pero fuerte.

BEAUTY: best all natural products

 photo naturalremedy_3_zps7221607d.jpg
They say you are what you eat. So of course this means we're also what we put on our skin since everything seeps into our pores and into our bloodstreams. I love to use natural kitchen products because its healthier, works better (no joke), last longer and and is always cheaper than store bought brand products. Coconut oil works great to keep your hair healthy, moisturized and to fight frizz! I have tried so many at home masks and deep conditioners but I promise nothing has worked like this. My hair hair been growing a lot healthier (possibly also faster) ever since I started to use it. Leave it in your hair for an hour or as you sleep at night. I use this once a week over night and wash it out the next day (dont forget to put a towel over your pillow). It also works as a great face and body moisturizer! The other product I love to use is grape seed oil which is an amazing eye makeup remover. I always have problems where makeup removers dry out the skin under my eye but this keeps it moisturized without using any chemicals. It has loads of vitamin e which is always good and I have noticed that the little grease dots that I normally see under my eyes have suddenly diminished. Why the hell are we spending so much on beauty products that contain chemicals, don't leave good results and end up getting used up too quickly?

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
