With all honesty.. I'm not the one to devote himself to a "great" book or join a book club for the sake of reading and expanding my intellectual capacity. However, I appreciate and value clever architecture, love a place with character, history and feel, but above all - I'm a fashion aficionado!

A place in the city that embodies all of these characteristics, without doubt, is the famously claimed New York Public Library. Open to the public with free admission, you can experience a true voyage back in time. It also seemed to be a great place for locals to do their regular library shenanigans - you know, like devoting themselves to a "great" book. As a tourist or spectator, you will find yourself in one of the greatest places in New York. An enormous building full of story, all with an amazing fundamental ascetics and a immense responsibility to deliver an artistic experience - all at the same time!

With the intention to combine my two favorite things, architecture and street fashion, I decided to go for a photoshoot to the library. It was rainy day, which meant that my look had to be appropriate and the timing had to be perfect. I recommend visiting  early morning when less tourist are in the building and be prepared to spend at least one to two hours there. Take your time, take it all in, take pictures (without flash, of course) and be respectful to those that actually visit the library for its convectional use.

Visiting the New York Public Library will make you feel inspired and will be a great opportunity to appreciate the work of incredible artists. Step out of the tourist mentality and completely forget about Times Square, believe me, my pictures do no justice - experience it for yourself!

Cheers,

With winter and its weather getting closer by the minute, I want to enjoy the rest of my favorite season - Autumn. The main reason why I enjoy Autumn so much, besides the weather, is because I now get a chance to have more fun with the clothing pieces I want to wear. My fashion game has to escalate from t-shirts and shorts to layers and boots. Definitely a fun transition for me!

To make this transition even more enjoyable, I head out to JCPenney to see what I could find. I came across lots of denim, stylish sweaters, dope windbreakers, and of course, my MAIN! - Flex skinny jeans. Considering that I'm spending this season in Palm Springs, where aside from the palm trees and never-ending sunny days, it does gets a little cool, I'm still able let my creativity out. As much as I love coats, I don't go beyond wearing a denim or bumber jacket and using a thin sweater or hoodie to layer things up bit. I found great options at JCPenney and definitely came through with my preferable street style.

Fashion has always been a fun part of me, and as for many people, is a great from of expression and confidence. I was a little afraid about spending the rest of the season in Palm Springs, because I though it was going to be an extension of summer - in terms of style and fashion. I always look forward to Autumn since is a very exciting process for me when the temperatures begin to drop and the leaves start changing colors and falling. I'm so thankful I was able to do the same here, even without the changing effects on nature. Now I think I'll be more open to experience this season in different places, specially those known to be warm.

I'm sure you'll also find your style at JCPenney, but to help you out, I've put together a section of pieces that I think everyone could successfully rock. Check-out the essentials at the end of the post and let me know what you think!

Until next time,

We all know Coachella fest is not only famous for the outstanding music performances and for hosting one of the largest interactive art displays in the world, year after year. Coachella has slowly, but strongly, developed its own fashion sense and "rules," which add excitement to the festivities.

This was my first year attending the festival, but since I moved to Palm Springs last summer, I've been living the desert life thousands of people look forward to enjoy at least once a year - I'm very lucky! The festival style presented at Coachella by all attendees - mainly bloggers- is strongly influenced by the desert as a scenario, its climate, and the amazing native american history that characterizes the territory. Considering my living experience, I consider myself to be almost  an expert on the subject 🙂

When attending any music festival, I recommend you make comfort a priority. Is very likely that you'll be standing for long periods of time, sitting on the floor, and walking the whole day - so think comfort! Thats why I chose to wear active (or sport) tights with a breathable long-line shirt and very comfortable sneakers. Because I understand desert climate, where temperatures drop drastically at night,  I added a retro inspired bumber jacket to my look. In terms of accessories, regardless of your gender, I highly recommend that you bring a small bag (cross-body, hand, or what you prefer) to keep all you personals in one place. It will be very hard for you to find any lost items among so many people in such huge space. Now.. be ready to dance, scream, and have a great time. If going by yourself, don't hold back - get loose, meet new people, and be safe!

Until next time,

Hello mates! If you read my previous post (NYFW DAY I) I think it should be expected for the second and third day of NYFW to also be adventurous and somewhat fashionably chaotic. I began my day with the runway shows at the Cipriani in 42nd street, followed by the one and only Sherri Hill at the Gotham Hall. I began my day in collaboration with Lexus, who was responsible for my transposition between shows and what a better way to fully do it in style. Not having to take the subway through the intense cold weather was definitely huge plus - Thanks Lexus! 

Between day two and three, I attended a total of 7 shows, but I'll only be highlighting my favorites here. Starting with a more casual fashion approach by Puertorican designer Adrian Alicea. Introducing long-line and open-minded pieces for the more fashion adventurous men. I loved the presentation and styling of the men skirts, and the great cultural inclusion within his runway show.

To finalize this three days of NYFW, I  was invited to Sherri Hills' runway show. Where do I begin, as a designer, Sherri Hills always offers the best and more creative pieces for her market's demographics. As previous years, this collection reflected elegance, youth, and power, in are very delicate sense of fashion. Her runway show was co-protagonized by numerous former Miss Universes and international models from Demi Leigh to Pia Alonzo (Remember her?) - Now is time to see it for yourself! 

In between shows, during the day, I decided to take a talk around the legendary streets of SoHo and unintentionally ended up in China Town and Little Italy. After the first day of NYFW, I learned my lesson, and this time I wore comfortable shoes and layered up a few pieces to keep myself warm. It was very interesting to see how the steers of New York have so much character and how our immigrant cultures create their own little paradise to feel closer to home. Well, without further adieu here's my very comfy attire- Ha! 

Until next time,

• Coat: Asos
• Black Hoodie: H&M
• Jeans: Diesel
• Sunglasses: WoodRoze
• Rings: Gucci & Pandora
• Sneakers: Asos
• Red Turtleneck: Calvin Klein
• Flight Bag: Adidas

My definition of a comfortable attire definitely doesn't include sweatpants or hoodies. There's something about ripped jeans that makes me feel extremely comfortable and free. Since I'm very particular about wholes on my jeans, I usually buy a cheap pair of the most comfortable jeans at H&M, Forever 21, or a similar store, and strategically ripped them - Well, it takes more than just ripping them, but that's a whole other blog post.

My jeans style of preference are skinny, and to prevent the wholes or distressed areas from breaking or expanding, I tend to buy them a size bigger. I know a lot of fashion oriented people (or so call Gurus) consider this style/trend of jeans to be something of the past, but I refuse to let it go! When playing tourist while in Hollywood last week, these pair of jeans and leather jacket were my best ally.

In addition to the comfort and style of the jeans combined with the leather jacket, I decided to add a pop of color with my red velvet boots from Asos. I was so lucky and excited to find these on sale (almost 60% off); immediately when I saw them there was no second thought about getting them - Love at first sight! Again, they turned out to be very comfortable and definitely delivered it purpose after a long day full off walking and running around town.

I would love to know what are your to-go comfy style pieces and what you like about them. Don't forget to share your thoughts on the comments section below 🙂
