Mixing Patterns Guide By Andrea

Sin título #286

Hi Everyone! Mixing patterns can be such a nightmare, but also a must have skill for every well known fashionista. I have created a few tips and examples for you to picture how chic the final result can be!
Let's get started!
1-Go for patterns that have shades in common, the more neutral those base shades are, the better.
2- Spice up the outfit, taking into account the scale of prints, bigger prints and little ones blend together easily.
3- Just 2 pieces with prints to keep it balanced.
¡Hola a todos/as! Mezclar estampados puede ser toda una pesadilla pero no podemos ignorar que es una habilidad que toda fashionista que se precie debe tener. Por esa razón os traigo un par de consejos muy fáciles de seguir para que veáis que una mezcla bien hecha puede ser muy chic.
¡Vamos a ello!
1- Escoged estampados que tienen tonos en común. Cuanto más neutro ese color sea más fácil será combinarlo y tendremos un resultado clásico pero interesante.
2- Para darle más emoción a la cosa, vamos a tener en cuenta que un estampado sea más pequeño que el otro.
3- Finalmente, solo dos prendas con print en un conjunto ya que es muy difícil no saturar el outfit una vez se van añadiendo más...( Más vale curarse en salud y que no nos pongan un ARGG y un suspenso como una catedral en la CUORE)

Satchel bag

This first outfit, shows what I mean with shades in common and little patterns ( studs included!) along with bigger ones. But, let's see a more daring take, for those of you who may feel pretty bold in the morning ( myself included)
 Este primer outfit ilustra bien a lo que hacía referencia, cuando os comentaba lo de los tonos en común y también el hecho de unir prints más llamativos con otro más sencillo.

Tory Burch patent leather ballet flat

Cross body handbag

This outfit is more daring, because of the idea behind it, which was going fancy with prints. So I fulfilled my purpose and I went for very different patterns and textures that work together because of the role the blue shades play.
Este outfit es más atrevido por la idea que lleva detrás, que era crear un outfit  con patrones clásicos, femeninos y simples y añadir al juego los "prints" La clave de este conjunto son las tonalidades azules y las texturas, que se complementan muy bien.

I created this outfit, to show you that prints are not always dots, stripes and little flowers, sometimes designers play with lace and little details like beads or studs to create a print. 
Este outfit ejemplifica que los prints van más allá de las rayas, los topos y las flores. A veces los diseñadores juegan con encaje e incluso abalorios para crear un print con ellos.  Este print nos facilita la vida, porque el hecho de que tenga esos detalles, no implica que sean más difíciles de combinar, de hecho suelen tener tonos neutros, cosa que nos facilitan esta labor.

College Style Guide 101 + New series Idea!

Sin título #271

Hi Dolls! Yesterday I was taking to one of my beautiful subscribers and she asked me to make a college style guide for the main three events she has going on: Rush, Spring Fling and Frat Parties. So I am not going to be giving you an outfit idea, but also some tips about packing for college!

If there is something that makes me jealous of those of you who study in the USA, it is sororities, I would totally love being part of one of those...
To make a good impression and boost your confidence for the interview I created the perfect outfit. I loved playing with color to show a bit of my personality as your sisters to be will probably remind you more for your outfit than for your name ( they are meeting a lot of girls like you, so you better make an statement, right?)
Remember 50 shades of Grey? So the trick is doing the same with your favorite color and complement that with a settled print ( nothing to cray cray!)

Now I am taking you to a different scenario... Let's go meet some hot rockers at the spring fling!

Zara mini messenger bag

GUESS rhinestone jewelry

If there is something I can recommend you to get in one of your mall trips, that would be a fun pair of converse! They go with everything and make you feel like a rockstar!
Another idea I put in this outfit was a survey I read ( somewhere) that guys find more attractive girls with ripped shorts (not a good point enough to wear them!) and since those are comfy and so cute ( Good point!) Let's rock them gurls!
