badass

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!

This is my first post of 2014! I know, I know, my last one was ages ago... I feel really bad for not being able to post more Christmas and NYE looks. But guess what? I actually ended up using the leopard dress from this post, for Christmas, and a completely different outfit for NYE.

It's been extremely cold here in Boston. When I say extremely, I mean it! Stick your hand in the fridge for one minute. Did you feel that? Picture that but ten times worse. That's how your fingers feel if you leave them out for one second. You literally feel like they are going to fall off. 

I never leave my house without bundling up, and when the sun comes out (like it did today) I run back home, throw on a dress and some tights, and let the sun burn my skin for some minutes because I don't know when I will see it again. 

Of course, I took advantage of the situation and shot some pictures so that you guys could see this plain but badass dress.

If you follow me on Twitter, you already saw this gorgeous spiral ring. If you don't (then you should!), take some time to visit Marisa Diane Designs' Etsy store, she makes some really amazing jewelry. I love all the spiral rings!

Can't wait to see if you like these pieces and the stores!

#MntrsMeetBoston: not-so-little black dress

I still remember my first encounter with Mentirosas by Fernando Claro. It truly was love at first sight. I was hanging around the streets of Instagram (as usual) in the search for cool new clothes, and there she was. She looked at me, I looked at her, and she said "Come in! I know you want to!" Obviously, you know the ending of the story... I couldn't resist, and here I am bringing you a post full of Mentirosas!

A little background: Mentirosas is an exclusive prêt-à-porter hand-made clothing brand. Every design follows current fashion tendencies but with its own added personality. Every single piece is unique, after all "Dressing-up is a way of expressing yourself. You should wear clothes that describe who you are without having to say a word." (words by designer Fernando Claro)

For all I know this dress could be walking on a hanger down the street, and look awesome on its own, but I decided to wear it and add some bold hot-pink lips, minimal midi rings, and a touch of badass with an earcuff and a neat nail design.

I love their motto:

You are unique. They should know. Not the average girl.

Very empowering!
