Hey lover! Today’s outfit is actually the same look I wore last Thanksgiving (2014). Saying 2014 is last year sounds so strange to me, but I know that’s typical since it’s only January. Anyway, I totally forgot to share my holiday look with you, but since I wore it again recently, I decided to share it now.

These pants are so comfortable. I bought them because they reminded me of the clean cut pants that girls wear for horse back riding. Also, these booties were another item chosen by my mother’s great style and I love how they are a true cherry color.

What is your favorite neutral piece in your wardrobe? I am in need of a black pencil skirt and lately I am trying to buy clothing that can serve as a neutral to numerous outfits. I hope you have a magical day!

Hey lover! The dress I am wearing in these pictures was a Christmas gift I received from my mom. She really has the greatest style and I love everything she chooses for me. I’m not sure if I even mentioned it to her, but I had been really coveting a long sleeved dress. The fit of this dress is one of my favorite styles; fitted up top and flares out nicely around the bottom.

I wore this to my boyfriends’ cousins’ baby shower on Saturday, which was at a great restaurant. The weather in Miami has been far from cold, but since the shower was outdoors, there was the perfect amount of breeze to keep us cool.

I hope you have an amazing week and thank you for stopping by!

Happy 2015!

Happy New Year lover! Oh a fresh new start is always so exciting for me. I have a feeling 2015 has amazing moments in store for all of us.

Just for fun, I want to share with you two of my New Years’ traditions. At midnight I eat 12 grapes to bring good luck in the new year. After the midnight cheers, I always take a nice stroll around the neighborhood with a suitcase in hand. My mother taught me that this will bring lots of fun travels in the coming year.

For 2015 I have set a few resolutions for myself. The first one is to arrive on time to more places. I am notoriously known for arriving late, although I always promise to try to arrive timely. However, this year I hope my efforts are more successful and that I arrive late less. My second important resolution is to practice more patience. Thank you for stopping by today to read my blog and I wish you all the love, success and happiness in this new year!

Christmas Traditions Recap

December 31, 2014 2 Comments

Hey lover! Ever since I was a little girl, Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. I love everything about the Christmas spirit and the celebration of a new year with God and love in our hearts. My family has traditions that I hope to carry on forever!

Probably my favorite tradition is praying the Novena, which is a series of nine nights of prayer (in Spanish), beginning on December 16 and ending on Christmas Eve. This has always been so special to me because it is a few minutes of each day that my family dedicates to winding down and praying together. We also sing songs and play a few instruments, which only add to the Christmas cheer. Some nights we are joined by friends and extended family, making the Novena an even nicer time! This year we were able to Facetime with my grandmother, aunt and cousin who live in Colombia.
Our Christmas celebration begins on Noche Buena (Christmas Eve) with a fun dinner party and dancing.
On Noche Buena we always attend mass at 5:30pm and we have been going to the same church since I was a little girl!
We typically buy our Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving and my mom loves to have a different theme for each year. This year the decor theme was red, while others the tree has been shades of gold, baby blue, silver, all white and many more! I truly love how my mom is very detailed in all her home decor.
A newer tradition is celebrating Christmas day-dinner with my best friend, Kelci and her family. They have a big group of family and friends join together for a DELICIOUS dinner. My favorite tradition of theirs is the Peppermint Pig, which deserves a post for itself to describe in detail just how special it is!

While we do listen to Christmas carols, exchange gifts and drink festive cocktails, these are the traditions that I cherish the most. I feel so blessed to have celebrated this year with my family and friends. Also, thank you so much for reading my blog!

Love Food : Shell Pasta Recipe

December 30, 2014 Leave a Comment

Recipe adapted from here

Hi lover! Today is a quick post of a new recipe I tried a few weeks ago. This was quick and easy and being the pasta lover that I am, it was a total hit for me!

Shell pasta happens to be one of my favorite types, but I also really enjoyed incorporating cherry tomatoes, spinach and some minced garlic. I did tweak the recipe by using already made minced garlic (easier for me haha) and I did not add pepper.

What are some of your favorite pasta recipes? Please share! If I could eat pasta everyday, I totally would.
