Believe it or not, spring is here. It's kind of hard to believe if you live in Chicago like me. Either way, that shouldn't stop us from wanting to look great with this moderately good weather. In spring I always seem to be a bit at a loss at what to wear. It's not my favorite season so that could possibly be the reason. For all of you who love the spring season here are a few of the trends that you will definitely be finding everywhere. Have fun, mix and match and overall just be yourself.

What's better than Spring on a Friday?

Friday, March 20, 2015

It's finally spring! Living in Chicago makes you really look forward to warmer weather because of what seems to be an endless winter. I can't wait to reorganize my closet and go shopping! Dresses, florals, sandals, etc, etc, etc. Ah! The excitement begins!

For today's OOTD I wanted something simple. Basically something to look great and relaxed to make you feel great on a Friday. I wanted to work with denim today so I played around with both white and blue denim. I wanted more light in the outfit so that's why I wanted to use the white denim jeans. I didn't want it to be too dark. I always have to add something black to my outfits, lol! In this case I added this sleeveless crop top because I wanted something a bit more bold when it was time to take off the denim jacket.

I know it's pretty cliche to use pastels during spring but I felt that with this outfit it would make the color even stand out more. I loved the metallic lavender heels. They add the perfect amount of shine to the outfit and make a great statement piece. Add the sunglasses and you're ready to go. A perfect outfit for the first Friday of Spring!

Let me know you're thoughts on the outfit! I love you hear from you!

DIMAR Faa* Villalpando Spring/Summer 2015

Wednesday, March 18, 2015

Bringing you a post on one of my favorite designers, Faa Villalpando. I'm not just saying this because she's one of my best friends, I really mean it. I love how she plays around with colors and prints. She has a tendency of using eye catching prints in her pieces.

This season is full of color, which is no surprise. She always adds a splash of color to her pieces. She incorporates pants, shirt dresses, blazers and many other things into this collection. There are some floral accents in some of the pieces which give them more freshness and youthfulness. Some of the pieces have interesting cuts and shapes which give more attention to certain areas. Not only that, they also give the piece a more complex look.

Overall this Spring/Summer collection is youthfully fun! The collection has great pieces that you can wear on a daily basis. Things that you can mix and match and feel comfortable in. They can be worn in a casual way as well as a more dressed up way. Just add a few accessories and you're ready to go!

All the best to Faa and I can't wait for the Fall/Winter collection. I am sure we will not be disappointed.
