Personality Style Challenge I

Jaimie from Brilliant Earth was kind enough to reach out to me and invite me to be a part of their Personality Style Challenge. How could I refuse?

Day Look: Saint Laurent blazer, Yves Saint Laurent black flats, Rag & Bone Legging skinny jeans, Brilliant Earth accessories. Night Look: Saint Laurent Blazer, Christian Louboutin heels, Lacoste + Malandrino Women's Tuxedo Shorts, Moss Bro white normal collar dress shirt and black bow tie set, Brilliant Earth accessories

For day, I try to streamline things. I'd fall into the Minimalist, no nonsense elegant style. But, most importantly, I need to be comfortable. I'm currently teaching, which means that I am on my feet all day. No heels for me! Comfortable flats, jeans, and a snappy shirt. The blazer ties it all together. Keeping my hands simple, but elegant, with the 18K White Gold Luna Ring and the Comfort Fit Wedding Band. A pop of color never hurt anyone, so the White Gold Sapphire Halo Earrings add the finishing touch.

Now, for a night look, I would ramp up the glamour. I would keep the blazer, but definitely switch things up. Borrowing from the men's department, a men's shirt and bow tie paired up with Lacoste + Malandrino Women's Tuxedo Shorts. I've moved the blue from the earrings to my feet, with these beautiful heels.

As for accessories, the Eclipse Diamond Earrings and the Sienna Diamond Ring add a hint of sparkle. I'm ready to dance the night away!

So, what kind of girl are you?

Thanks to Jaimie Herrmann and Brilliant Earth for this wonderful opportunity!

Caskibaches (Or, I'm Officially a Vintage Reseller?)

A couple of Sundays ago, I had the pleasure of selling at the Caskibaches fleamarket at Executive Manolo in Santurce. Let me tell you, it was fun! Everybody was so nice, I sold some vintage, second-hand, and jewelry made by me. I also scored some stuff as well! An Ikea lamp that I'd been craving for a while, a old globe, and some lovely Trinkets necklaces made by Nydia López.


A little slow at the start.


Trinkets' corner.



Terekes' corner.


Friendly sellers!

My little corner at Caskibaches.

While there, La bella y las bestias and The Bee's Knees did their own musical thing. Unfortunately, I don't have pics of them as I was too busy jammin' along and saying hello to old friends who are leaving island soon.

Executive Manolo is a store in the Santurce area of San Juan. They have their own vintage resellers, Terekes, and their own new designs (I may be itching for one of their shirts). They also have concerts! So be sure to swing by Executive Manolo or visit us all at the next Caskibaches (which I'll be sure to mention here). We'll be waiting!
