Hi there!

I am feeling extra Latina in this gorgeous Song of Style red dress, called the “Maya Midi dress.” It is Aimee Song’s debut collection for Revolve, and I had to pick up a piece to commemorate one of my favorite bloggers!

I love the hourglass shape with buttons and pockets and adjustable straps for girls like me with curves and a small torso.

I accessorized with a Tory Burch for Nordstrom espadrille wedge and gold earrings I picked up in Brazil at a small boutique.

This is a fun look for day and night that is effortlessly chic. Red is also so hot at the moment!

Xo,

Carolina

Hi there! 

With Valentine’s Day coming up many of us wonder what to wear (even when single like I currently am!) because I love holidays. Here is a really fun idea for you. I worked with Tobi clothing on the blog and I styled the Leila laced scalloped skater dress in a sexy vintage way with tan Cuban heel black back seam stockings and a classic black Louboutin Pigalle pump. I finished the look with my YSL medium Kate purse and messy wavy bed hair, a cat eye and a bright red lip. To me a woman in a classic red lip black pump and red dress will always look sexy, and the messy hair shows the look isn’t too fussy either. This dress is a little more revealing than most dresses I wear but I challenged myself to put on something a bit more daring for the occasion.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine’s Day no matter how it’s spent. With friends family a significant other or alone, there’s no right way to spend a day celebrating love. 

Xo,

Carolina
