OOTD: Neon + Neutrals

A beautiful day in NYC last Friday. So I decided to venture out to the park near my neighborhood with my tripod and capture a few shots. Not bad for pics I took myself, eh?

Un hermoso día en la ciudad de Nueva York el viernes pasado. Así que decidí salir al parque cerca de mi barrio con mi trípode y capturar algunos tiros. No está mal para fotos que tomé yo, eh?

I got to wear the fabulous neon satchel that my sister got me for my birthday. And these ankle-strap flats are my favorite shoe of the moment. They are such a cute alternative to heels! I have a pair in mint green, which I am wearing in this post.

Tengo que llevar la bolsa de neón fabulosa que mi hermana me llevó por mi cumpleaños. Y estos pisos tobillo-correa son mis zapatos favoritos del momento. Son una alternativa tan linda a los talones! Tengo un par de verde menta, que estoy usando en este post.

top (blusa): Forever 21

leggings/pants (pantalones): random brand

shoes (zapatos): Breckelle

purse (cartera): Aldo

Fashion Friday: Spring/Summer Must-Haves

`Fashion Set by beautywithbrainss featuring twisted x boots

Topshop leopard dress / Rare London long sleeve top, $45 / A|X Armani Exchange a x armani exchange / Mango slim cut jeans, $54 / Schutz twisted x boots / Zara leather sandals / Satchel handbag / Illesteva sunglasses

The maxi skirt has a new twist in the form of the slit. The higher, the better! All that leg is best paired with a simple strappy sandal. I'm loving shoes in jewel tones and lace-up, high-heeled sandals. Goes perfect with your favorite mini skirt or dress.

The midi-length is gaining more popularity. I love this style particularly on tall women, it is so flattering on them. Shorter girls can wear it too as long as they avoid flats. And fun neon colors are a easy way to add a pop of color to any outfit.

The ombre trend is still going strong. Staying tuned for a DIY post on making your own ombre top!

MAC Fashion Sets And Extra Dimension Haul and Swatches

This is a post that is a bit overdue. MAC came out with the Fashion Sets and Extra Dimension collections a couple of weeks ago. I only got a couple of items. I have been wanting the "Heroine" lipstick for a really long time but it was sold out EVERYWHERE. Luckily, Rai at Glam-Morena had an extra that she sent to me. I also got the "Ablaze" lipglass, I feel like I have waaaaay too many orange and coral lipsticks.

I got a Skinfinish from the Extra Dimension collection which was "Double Definition". It is a beautiful bronze-gold duo. I have a worn it a few times and I love how it looks on my skin tone.

I also got two items that are permanent: a MAC Paint Pot in "Soft Ochre" and an eye shadow in the shade "Steamy". I love "Steamy", I had a couple of years back and it broke beyond saving. So I repurchased it. it really is a beautiful color and great for the Summertime!

OOTDs and Romeo Santos Concert in Atlantic City

My favorite artist (and ultimate celebrity crush) was having a concert in Atlantic City and I just HAD to go. I trekked 2.5 hours from NYC to see him perform. I decided to just stay overnight to experience Atlantic City a bit since I have never been there.

I didn't gamble much, I'm not a big fan of it. Like Carrie Bradshaw said "I like my money where I can see it.. in my closet).
