Trending: Sunnies and Eyewear


Trending: Sunnies and Eyewear

¡La primavera esta oficialmente aquí! Hermosas flores  nos rodean, pajarillos cantan por las mañanas y el sol.  Y como la primavera esta para quedarse y el verano pronto llegara, pensé que debería de darte un pequeño reportaje en las tendencias mas solicitadas de la temporada, gafas redondas o “round sunnies”. Y como el sol aquí en el Valle parece estar más brillante que de lo normal, ¿por qué no proteger tus ojos con estilo, verdad?


Así que con eso en mente busque las mejores y más lindas opciones especialmente para ti. Abajo esta un pequeño collage que hice de mis armazónes y diseños favoritos de sunnies, y obviamente a los mejores precios.


Reportaje: Los sunnies mas lindos los encontrarás en Asos y Polyvore, sin embargo los precios están un poco altos. Si buscas algo más económico los podrías encontrar en Forever 21 y en un sitio mega padre que me enseño una amiga, Zerouv. Me decepcioné un poco, H&M no tenía una variedad tan grandiosa que digamos. Ah, en Ebay también es una muy buena opción. Solo busca “Round sunnies” o “round sunglasses” y encontrarás una gran variedad.



Como usarlos: Como estas gafas de sol están de moda realmente te las puedes poner con lo que sea. Ya sea que uses unos simples skinnies una blusa simple o pantalones de mezclilla. Al usar estos lentes podrás darle un look más elegante a tu conjunto simple. Vestiditos de verano, pantalones cortos o arremangados con Peplums también lucirán bellos con ellos. ! Básicamente con todo!



¿Duda?: Si dudas que tipo de armazón irán mejor con tu estructura fácil puedes leer este artículo muy interesante que encontré para información, “The Sun Authority”. Pero, si me preguntas a mi yo optaría por los “Round cat-eye (4)”, porque creo que este estilo podría lucir favorablemente con la mayoría de los rostros.


En conclusión, démosle la bienvenida al sol de primavera/verano con estilo.

 ¡Suerte!


Besos,

Spring is officially here! Beautiful flowers all around us, birds chirping in the mornings, and of course, the sun.  And since spring is here to stay and the summer is right around the corner, I thought I should give you a trend report on the season’s hottest eyewear trend, round sunnies. And since the sun here in the Valley seems to be extra bright, why not protect your eyes fashionably, right?

So with that in mind I’ve looked all around for the best and cutest choices especially for you. Below is a small collage I’ve made with my favorite frames and designs, and of course the best prices.

Report: The cutest sunnies were found in Asos and Polyvore, however the prices were a bit high. If you’re looking for lower prices you could check out Forever 21 and a mega awesome site a friend introduced me to, Zerouv. I was a bit disappointed, H&M didn’t have such great options. Oh, and Ebay is also a really good option. Just search for “round sunnies” or “round sunglasses” and you’ll find a great variety!



How to wear them: Since these sunglasses are in style right now you could wear them with just about anything. They could be worn with simple skinnies and a top or denim pants. When wearing the sunnies you could give your simple outfit a more elegant look. Summer dresses, shorts or cropped pants with Peplums also look lovely with them. Basically with everything!



Doubt? : If you wonder what type of frame would look better with your facial structure you could read this very interesting article that I found for more information, “The Sun Authority.” But, if you ask me I would opt for the “Round cat-eye (4),” because I think that this style tends to be rather favorable with most faces.


In conclusion, welcome the spring/summer sun in style.



Good luck!


Besos,

Saira

Stripes stripping and Peplum.


 Stripes stripping and Peplum.

Últimamente he notado que estoy completamente obsesionada con las rayas, especialmente si son blancas y negras. Hay algo de ellas que me tienen completamente cautivada. Y es que en esta temporada son las prendas y colores más solicitadas.

De hecho las rayas, de ese mismo  color, están de moda—¡me encanta!

Pórtalas de pies a cabeza, literal. Y aunque se dice que las rayas te hacen ver más grande, no importa tu póntelas, están lindísimas. Obviamente que todo en buen gusto.

Y  si, las blusas Peplum también son de lo mejor. No pensé que las usaría tanto pero ahora me doy cuenta que las amo porque hacen que cualquier outfit se vea más elegante.

El día de hoy describiría mi outfit como Indie-Chic. Si buscas un conjunto simple, cómodo y a la vez chic, diría que este es el adecuado. Ah, y si por una extraña razón tu cabello simplemente no esta cooperando contigo en la mañana, tú no te apures solo usas una linda gorra. Te ahorraras mucho tiempo y te evitaras un gran dolor de cabeza, créeme.

Y tú qué piensas, ¿te gusta?

Besos,

Saira

Lately I've noticed that I am completely obsessed with stripes, especially if they’re black and white. There’s something about them that have me completely captivated. And it is because they are the season’s most solicited clothing and colors.

As a matter of fact stripes, in that same color, are in right now—I love them!

Wear them from head to toe, literally. And even if they say that stripes make you look bigger, it doesn't matter, you should still wear them, they’re mega pretty. Obviously all in good taste.

And yes, the Peplum shirts are also the best. I think I was going to used them as much but now I realize that I love them because they make any outfit look more elegant.

Today I would describe my outfit as Indie-Chic. If you’re looking for a simple, comfy and at the same time chic outfit, I would say this would be the ideal one. Oh, and if for a strange reason you hair wasn't cooperating with you in the morning, don’t worry just wear a lovely hat. It will save you time and will prevent a huge headache, trust me.

And you, what do you think, do you like it?
Besos,

Saira

 Fui sorprendida al ser escogida como una de las fashionistas afortunadas de la semana.
Créeme que me callo de sorpresa, fue algo inesperado. Me siento realmente honrada que me reconozcan como una ‘fashionista’. Digo, claro que me gusta la moda y vestirme lindo y arreglarme y ya tu sabes, ¡pero que otra gente lo reconozca, eso ya es otra historia!

Total, una de las ‘fashion gurus’ de CollegeFashionista me pesco entre clases y me pido que si me podía tomar fotos porque le gustaba lo que traía puesto y obviamente que le dije que sí. De hecho mi look ese día era de flojerita, ¡andaba súper cómoda!

Ah, mis tenis son mis favoritos. Siempre me los pongo y ando súper, súper cómoda— ¡los amo! Los ‘heeled sneakers’ estaban muy de moda la temporada pasada y como por obra de magia esta temporada también los veras por todos lados. Las faldas ‘high-low’ llegaron para quedarse, ¡cómpratelas en todos los colores habidos y por haber!

Así que si busacas un look sport-cómodo y a la vez chic, quizás este look sería una buena opción. Lo que me gusta es que puedes jugar con ello y solo seria de cambiarte de zapatos.

¿Tu gusta?

Besos,

Saira

I was surprised to have been chosen as one of the fortunate ‘fashionistas’ of the week.
Trust me it took me by surprise, it was so unexpected. I feel truly honored to have been recognized as a ‘fashionista.’ I mean, yeah of course I like fashion and dressing nice and getting dressed up and you know, but once others recognize it, that’s another story!

In conclusion, one of the ‘fashion gurus’ from ‘CollegeFashionista’ caught me between classes and asked me if she could take pictures of my outfit because she liked them, and of course I said yes. As a matter of fact my look that day was of a lazy day, I was so comfortable!

Oh, these are my favorite tennis. They’re super comfortable and I wear them all the time—I love them! Heeled-sneakers were very in last season and like by magic you’ll be seeing them everywhere this season too! ‘High-low’ skirts came to stay, buy them every color possible!

So if you’re looking for a sporty-comfy look and the same time chic, maybe this could be an option. What I like about it is that you could play around with it by just changing the shoes.
Do you like it?

Besos,

Saira

A final advice

A final advice


Han llegados los famosos días de las rectas finales. Mientras morimos lentamente entre libros, ensayos, guías de estudio y sobredosis de cafeína, pensé que sería una buena idea que algunos de los fashionistas de UTPA nos dieran unos consejitos de cómo pasar y sobrevivir los exámenes finales.
Espero que sean de gran ayuda.

Recuerda, lo que vale la pena en la vida nunca llegará fácilmente.

¡A estudiarle cariño!

The famous finals days are here. And while we slowly die between books, essays, study guides and caffeine overdoses, I thought it would be a good idea to ask some of the UTPA’s fashionistas to gives us some tips on how to survive and pass our final exams.

I hope they are of great help.

Remember, what is worth it in life never comes easy.

Get studying darling!

Daniella Diaz/Senior/Major: Print Journalism, Minor: Graphic Design

“Finals are just finals. They’re a step that takes us towards graduation, and yes they’re important. But if we worked hard all the semester and made sure to keep our grades up all semester, you shouldn’t really worry about it. There are so many services UTPA offers to help you get caught up. The tutoring services here are great. And when it’s all over, you’ll feel happy with yourself.”

“Time management, honestly you just have to prioritize. Manage the most important things first and so on. Keeping track of your time is most important.”

(*Bolsos de colores vivos ayudan a darle un toque vivo y especial a cualquier conjunto, usalo con colores oscuros (a mí me gusta cuando el color de la bolsa no tiene nada que ver con lo que traes pues, se ve retro)/Bright colored purses helps give a vivid and special touch to any outfit, use it with dark colors (I like it when the color of the purse has nothing to do with what you have on, it looks retro))

IMAG2059 146x300 A final advice
Violeta Alejandra Garza/Junior/Major: Public Relations, Minor: Spanish

“Well, before I start I review little by little. For certain classes I make note cards and that’s how I study definitions. The day before the exam is the heaviest; go to a place where you can study. I go to Moonbeans to study and take breaks. I try not to stay up late.”

Sara Castillo/Senior/ Major: Public Relations, Minor: Art

“I try to study days in advanced so I don’t overwhelm myself and learn everything fully. I like to write my guides by hand and from there I continue to review them. The day before the exam I sleep early and have a light breakfast the next day so I could have energy but no feel bad during the test.”

(*Blusas con holanes= muy de moda horita/ Peplum shirts= very in right now)

IMAG2283 146x300 A final advice
Mario Antonio Lopez/Senior/Major: Graphic Design, Minor: Advertising

“I don’t have finals just projects. And well I do them and then I go to parties. But for finals you should study a bunch the day before and don’t sleep until after the test then go home and nap. And then you go out and party until you forget whatever you learned all semester.”

“With six classes it might be insane to think that I might survive. I think it really is all about giving that extra push to see the great results of my effort. In the end it makes it all worth it.”

The new Black

The new Black



¡El invierno está por llegar! El 21 de diciembre le damos la bienvenida al inicio de los supuestos “días de frio”. Ahora la pregunta es… ¿estás listo/a?

Y si por alguna razón estas un poco atrasado/a en las noticias más recientes del invierno déjame te las digo— ¡lo militar es el  nuevo negro!

Si usas el negro con todo, pues ahora también con lo militar. Así que  ya sea chaquetas, pantalones o blusas, ¡con este estampado no te puedes equivocar!

Dale una oportunidad y prepárate para entrar al campo de batalla.

¿Eres suficientemente salvaje para esta temporada?

(Puedes encontrar de este tipo de chaquetas en la Pulga de Alamo o en la intersección de las calles Jackson Y Dicker en la ciudad de Hidalgo, regularmente hay un señor que las vente allí./ You can find this style of jackets at the Alamo Flea market or on the intersection of Jackson street and Dicker in Hidalgo, there’s usually a man who sales them there)

“I stayed with a friend and didn’t like how the shirt looked like so I added the jacket. I actually bought it at Rockstar Vintage here close to school. And well the headband, I was a rockstar ballerina [for Halloween] so that’s why I’m also wearing the flats.”


(Me gusta como Yessy le da un toque especial a su chaqueta al agregarle el look femenino con los mayones floreados, las zapatillas y la diadema de diamantes. Los colores que utilices son muy importantes ya que son los que determinan el estilo que le darás a tu outfit. Si  buscas algo mas girly este es el look adecuado ya que contiene colores tenues y flores. /

I like how Yessy put a special touch to her jacket by giving it a feminine look with her floral leggings, the ballet flats and the diamond headband. The colors that you use are very important since they will determine what style you give to your outfit. If you’re looking for something more girly this is the ideal look since it contains light colors and flowers.)

Winter is almost here! On December 21st we welcome the beginning of the so called “cold days.” Now the question is…are you ready?

If you wear black with everything, now you can with camouflage as well. So whether it is jackets, pants or tops, with this print you can’t go wrong this winter season!

Give it a try and be ready to enter the battle field.

Are you wild enough for this season’s must-have?

Gee-gee-geometrics

Gee-gee-geometrics
 
Oh cuan hermoso es el mundo de la moda.

Oh cuan hermoso y repentino es el mundo de la moda—nunca es suficiente.
No fue hasta este hermoso mes de septiembre que cambio, nuevamente.

Hace seis meses nos moríamos por paletas neutrales de simpleza y nos apartábamos de los estampados, que eran amor por favor, no líneas o figuras.

Sin embargo, seis meses después estamos adictos a los estallos de colores y diseños.
Así que si te preguntas, que usaremos este invierno ’13?

Geométricos.

Geeo-geoo-geometría amor.

Sip, piensa en David Hicks (decorador de interiores), arte pop y en los 1960.

Divierte con patrones descabellados  y colores voltéame-a-ver.
Se atrevido o vete a casa.
Aquí te va algo similar, disfrútalo.

Oh beautiful world of fashion world.

Oh beautiful ever-changing world of fashion—I can never get enough.

It was until this wonderful month of September that it changed, once again.

Six months ago we were dying for neutral palettes of simplicity and straying away from print, which was please honey, no lines or shapes.

Six months later, however, we are now addicted to pops of colors and patterns.
What to expect for winter ’13?

Geometrics.

Gee-gee-geometrics baby.

Yeah that’s right, think David Hicks (an interior designer), pop art and the 1960’s.
Have fun with trippy patterns and head-turning colors.
Go wild or home.
Here is something like it, enjoy.
