Happy Saturday babes! Wanted to get this post up today because Wango Tango is this afternoon and I know I won’t have time once I get home tonight. I wore this look yesterday to run errands during the day and play time with nature in the afternoon. (For Izek, not me. LOL) I kept it pretty simple because I didn’t want to many accessories to get in the way. It doesn’t help when your kid tugs on your jewelry. Oh I also went to my local drugstore (CVS) to check out the latest beauty products and I found a lot new things. Probably filming the haul sometime this weekend so keep a look out for that. XO

Rock My Look:
Target printed romper $22.99 (Here)
Target large studs
Forever 21 fedora (here, here, here)
Steve Madden platforms (similar)
Michael Kors watch (here)

Hi there! Wanted to share this look I wore yesterday for Mother’s Day brunch with my Momma! It’s always a good day when you spend it with your family. Special thanks to Izek and the hubbs for making me feel special not only on Mommas day but every day.

I just got home from the American Idol finale! I’ve been a huge fan of the show for the past two seasons, so when I found out I had the opportunity to attend, I was beyond excited! My husband and I got there pretty early to attend the pre AI party. We mingled and sipped on a few drinks before the show. I was rooting for Candice because I just love her story. This was her third time trying out for American Idol and she WON! This just goes to show you how one should never give up on their dreams. If it’s in you and you feel it, chase it! Because you may never know how close you where to that one moment that could change your whole life around.

Good morning! I was a bit to occupied with a few things yesterday afternoon that I didn’t have a chance to share with you what I wore. I wanted to wear something ‘Mom’ friendly and conformable because I was running around doing errands and working so I didn’t want to be over the top. I also uploaded a new beauty haul from my trip to Walmart and Ulta last week. Check it out here and subscribe!

Today I want to share with you my latest video on Youtube. As you guys know, I’m posting new videos every Tuesday and Friday and I get very excited because I just simply love it.
In this video I’ll be showing you how easy it is to create your own faux leather circle skirt. Dyed leather is HUGE (believe it or not) this summer so I thought it would be a great idea to incorporate this trend in a very accessible way.
No major skill required because the fabric doesn’t need any hemming and it won’t fray on you! Anyway, enjoy the tutorial and if you guys get a chance to DIY it, send me your picture to be featured on my blog! XOXO

PS: If your sewing skill are on point, add some pleating to the skirt for more movement!

Hey guys! I’ve been meaning to post this preview of L’Oreal’s new trend collection for this summer. I believe (if I’m not mistaken) it should be out sometime this week. I love the color pink and it’s great to see a collection with different hues to fit almost every skin tone. I have a lot of favorites, such as 175, 180, and 185. The only one I’m not fond of is “135 Ballerina Shoes”. The color is frosty beyond belief and hard to apply evenly. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this little preview.

*You can find them at your local drugstore.*

1. 250 Pucker Up Pink
2. 252 Florid Pink
3. 254 Rosy Demeanor
4. 256 Raspberry Flush
5. Berry Chic

Good morning! I’m currently watching Good Day LA, drinking coffee, and working on this post. That’s usually a typical morning for me. I have about 15 minutes before Izek wakes up though and then my day REALLY starts.
Yesterday I wore this fun and flirty tribal print two piece. I love this look for summer because the print is trendy and young. If I were to wear this out to the mall or a casual weekend, I would pair it with strappy wedges and a laid back fringe cross body bag in a fun bright color. But i personally love to glam anything up with heels!

* I also uploaded my June beauty favorites yesterday afternoon.*

Rock My Look:
Tribal Crop Top: DailyLook
Tribal High Waisted Shorts: DailyLook
Dejavu Heels: Steve Madden
Necklace: H&M (I think)
Clucth: DailyLook
Lips: Mac’s Candy Yum Yum

This month’s favorite products:

- Too Faced La Creme Color Drenched Lip Cream, “In the Buff”
- Tarte LipSurgence Matte Lip Tint “Exposed”
- Tarte LipSurgence Matte Lip Tint “Lucky”
- L’Oreal lipstick “I Pink You’re Cute”
- Cabana Tan Body

Good morning! Wanted to wish you guys a happy 4th of July! I’ll be posting my look tomorrow morning because I still don’t know what I’m wearing today. But anyway, I was lacking in my outfit of the day posts because of my recent trip to New York City. So this is a look I wore over a week ago I believe.
I know a lot of people where wondering about my clip on ‘bangs’. They don’t necessarily match my hair color but I don’t mind that at all. It’s always fun to play around with fake hair because it really gives you a whole new look. I love them. You can find them in pretty much any beauty store that sells hair/extensions/wigs and such.

Rock My Look:
Top: Burlington Coat Factory (My first time in that store in over 4 years and I found a lot of great things!)
Denim shorts: (I don’t even remember where I bought mine but I’m sure we all have a pair of favorite denim shorts inside our closets right?)
Shoes: DailyLook
Handbag: Alexander Wang duffle
Necklace: Vintage
Hair: High-bun using a a large hair donut and then I clipped on bangs.
Makeup: To watch the full on tutorial of this look click here. The video isn’t on my Youtube channel so I’m not sure if some of you watched it yet. (I’ll be making a dedicated post on the look with more pics and info sometime this week.)

Today’s look was centered around these shoes that have been collecting dust in my closet for the past few weeks. I love them don’t get me wrong, but it takes a bit more thought to style these because of the colors and the texture. I didn’t want to walk around looking like pumpkin during Halloween. So I went through some boxes full of clothes this morning and found this old dress from Forever 21. It must be at least 3 years old because I remember buying it when I use to live in South Central LA. I love the way the shoes look with the dress, though I must admit that the heels are a bit to “chunky” looking because of my height. But you guys know how I am about fashion ‘rules’. Don’t follow them, don’t care about them to an extend.

Rock My Look:
Old Forever 21 cocktail dress. I can also picture myself in this dress with some cute flats, a light weight scarf, and a tote for a weekend look.

Hey there guys! So excited the weekend is finally here! I’m so ready for a break and I can’t wait to have some fun! Today I wanted to share a makeup tutorial that I’ve talked about before. I’ve never posted all the pictures of this look but it’s by far one of my favorites. It compliments brown/hazel eyes beautifully. The silver really makes them pop! I also clipped on faux bangs which totally changes my look. I love fake (but real) hair so I had a lot of fun with this.
Also, this video along with a few others are posted on the 123UnoDosTres YouTube channel so if you’re not subscribed to them you probably never saw it, so here it is.

This morning I wanted to share a bit more information on a tutorial I did on my Youtube channel a few days ago. This look was inspired by Becky G’s flamed out look. I took the main colors of the look you guys voted #1 on Instagram and re-created something a bit more wearable for an everyday girl.
This look is perfect if you want wearable color during the day. If you wanted to rock it for a night out, simply smoke out the outer corner (v) of the eye with a dark brown matte shadow.

- CoverGirl Clean Whipped Creme Foundation “335 Soft Honey” (I have a full review on this product here)
- CoverGirl Clean Glow Bronzer in “Spices”
- CoverGirl Flamed Out Mascara in “Black Blaze”
- CoverGirl Ink It! Liquid Liner in “Black Ink”
- CoverGirl Flamed Out Shadow Pencils in “310‘ and “330” (they don’t crease!)
- CoverGirl Smoochies in “2 Cute”

You might have also noticed my new look. I’ve been wanting to go this light with my hair probably since 2006. Seven years later, it’s finally achieved. My fabulous new go to girl did a caramel base with honey blonde highlights and for the cut she did long layers. Just a little snip, snip which is all I needed. What do you guys think?

Fall is right around the corner; so to better prepare you, I put together a few sets from two hot fall trends, The Grunge and Nerd. As some of you might now, a few months back I took part of The Fitting Room. I had a great time on set going over these two hot fall trends and I can’t wait to style my own looks for my blog soon!

Grunge is not only a trend but also a lifestyle. It’s a sort of, rolled out of bed, cool, functional and effortless style.

- Signature by Levi Strauss & Co Western Plaid Shirt
- Denim Skirt
- Brinley Co. Round Toe Stud Accent Flats
- Double Grommet Belt
- Brinley Co. Sterling Silver Angel Wing Drop Earrings
- Brinley Co. Rhinestone-Accent Silver Tone Wrap

The Nerd is a trend that I’m eagerly waiting to experiment with this fall. I guess because I’m a girly girl at heart, and it has this good girl vibe that I love which I wouldn’t mind emulating once in a while.

- George Woman’s Essential Short Sleeve Blouse
- White Stag Women’s Skort (Peach Cobbler)
- Women’s Floppy Bow Flats
- Timex Ladies Easy Reader Watch
- Disney CZ 10Kt Gold Mickey Mouse Stud Earrings
- Brinley Co. Knot Ring in Gold Fill
