the epitome of summer

In my mind, when I picture summer, I see a mix of neons and bright colors, popsicles, water fountains, kids in scooters, laughs, colorful sunsets, and beaches. I want to express that through my summer posts, and so far I haven't done quite the job. So let's start from here...

The swimsuit I am wearing on this pictures is from the 80's, and I found it on a vintage boutique called Dotto. It is the epitome of summer: hot pink, low back, and mesh on top. The swimsuit alone spoke for itself, so I paired it with clear accessories. You know how much I love clear!

Also, the cuff is not the typical thin clear cuff that you'll find at a local store. What caught my attention was its thickness. And the ring, I just can't get over it. I top it off with knuckle rings and it looks amazing!

I am going back home this week (to Venezuela)! Can't wait to take pictures there and show you guys!

Love you!

Summer in Boston is extremely hot (which I'm sure I've mentioned several times), so I've been looking for white and light clothes. I realized I didn't own any short white dresses and went "window shopping" on the Internet when I found the dress I'm wearing on this post, from Galalabel.

I love dresses that aren't too short. I like being able to have the flexibility of transforming them into short dresses by adding a belt, or just using them the way they are. They can look like two different pieces.

This dress, especially, is more on the dressy side, but I think it can also look completely casual with a belt.

I scored these vintage YSL shoes at an antique shop in Newport. They are the best thrifted/antique/vintage acquisition I have! 

Don't you just love thrifting?

pinkest sugar and blackest spice flower crown

Quick post before I head to Phantom Gourmet Beach Party. I thought this flowery post would be a  perfect ending to an awesome weekend and a great beginning to a new week.

This flower crown seems so real that it gets lost amongst the rest in the bushes. It is so feminine that you don't need to wear any make-up with it and look super chic. I added some red lips to make the scene a little more romantic. 

flower crown: Crowned by Flowers, top: Zara (many seasons ago), skirt: Mentirosas

Didn't have much time to write this post, but I hope you enjoy the pictures!

 When I came back home today, I had a box waiting for me at my door! Don't you just love that feeling of suspense? 

Of course, I ripped the box apart and... SURPRISE! 

Remember Mentirosas from this post? They have just launched their Spring/Summer collection and have sent me some pieces to try on! 

Can't wait to show you what's inside these bags! 

Any predictions as of what could be inside these bags from their new collection?

Taking pictures with only one hand is probably the hardest thing I have had to do for this blog. I just needed to show you these beauties that I received this week from Galisfly.com, all the way from Israel. 

I don't know about you, but I have the biggest crush on midi rings. Actually, if you've liked someone/something for almost a year, wouldn't that be love? Then, scratch that, I am in LOVE with midi rings!

I wanted to take the time to post close-up pictures of the rings, before you see them on an outfit post. There are two thin and simple gold plated rings and a thick one with small cut details on it. They are also pretty affordable. This stack of three rings is only $16 (see here).

I keep on playing around with them. You can use them so many ways. I also liked these ones made out of chains and these ones with the little hand. I want them all!

Do you have a favorite?

rolling in the snow

I love my glittery tights. I wanted some like these for quite a while but was never able to find them until this past December. It took me about an hour to choose whether to buy the silver ones or the golden ones. Of course, as you can see, I ended up getting the silver ones.

You might be wondering why I didn't just buy both tights, instead of wasting one hour of my day in H&M trying to choose. The reason is, I've been back to practicing the "art" of saving money. I am usually good at it, but I had been losing myself up in the past months. One pair of glittery tights is enough!

As cold as it may look, it was actually a warm day for Boston. Lying down on the snow was more of a refreshing experience. I try to take advantage of snow as much as I can, and lie down on it whenever I have a chance. I like to think I'm a white seal!

Oh, and about the Taz-Mania backpack... It belongs to a friend, but I'm afraid he will never see it again. Muahaha!

Besos,
