European Excursion!

 When Rome...or Venice...or even Paris!!

 

Hello Lovelies! We hope that the new year is treating you all fabulously!!

We are very excited to be sharing with you a series of special sidekick sessions we did with our friend Maylene! We did some traveling to Europe for the holidays and could not resist the idea of shooting some outfits during our trip.
The shoots took place in Rome/Venice, Italy and Paris, France

This is the first of three shoots that we did on our trip-Rome.
This city if full of everything!! History, Beauty, Hope, Faith, Tradition and more...
It was such an experience being there for Christmas that we had to take advantage and style Maylene with an appropriate look for Christmas Eve dinner!

We wanted this look to be classic and modern all in one. It all started with the gorgeous sequin jacket, the cut of it is fantastic and nothing says holiday cheer quite like sequins does! We wanted to draw in the classic elements so we paired the jacket with this gorgeous fitted knee length Zara dress and adding a belt allowed us to create a more fitted and feminine look by enhancing Maylene's waistline. The accessories were just enough to add that "I'm ready to party vibe" we wanted it to convey.

Hola Lindas!! Esperemos que el año nuevo las este tratando de maravilla!!

Estamos super emocionadas de compartir con ustedes una series de sesiones de sidekick que hicimos con nuestra amiga Maylene! Viajamos a Europa durante los dias festivos y no pudimos resistir la idea de tomar fotos de algunos outfits durante nuestro viaje.
Las sesiones fueron en Roma/Venezia, Italia y Paris, Fracia

Esta es la primera sesion de tres que hicimos durante el viaje-Roma.
Esta ciudad esta llena de todo!! Historia, Belleza, Esperanza, Fe, Tradicion y mas...
Fue una experiencia unica el estar alli durante Navidad y aprovechamos para crear un look que Maylene pudiera usar para la cena de Noche Buena!

Quisimos que el look fuera clasico y moderno a la misma vez. Todo empezo con la hermosa chamara de lentejuela, el corto de la chamara es increible y nada dice Navidad como la lentejuela! Quisimos agregar elementos clasicos al look por lo cual combinamos la chamara con un vestido de Zara que es ajustado al cuerpo y hasta a la rodilla y agregamos un cinturon para crear una silueta femenina al crear un enfoque a su cintura. Los accessiorios fueron suffieciente para crear ese toque de "estoy lista para clebrar" que qusimos envocar.

Venice, Italy



Our experience in this magical city was memorable beyond what we could have predicted...it was the shortest visit of our trip but it did not fall short of impressive!

Since the first time we visited the city we knew it couldn't be the last, the labyrinth feel of their streets is full of shops and cafes that leave you wanting to take in more and more of the unique looking city. During this visit we went in to a great little Venetian mask shop with such unique treasures we knew we had to include one in our shoot somehow...
The shop owner had as much fun as us picking the perfect one for Maylene to wear!
The look for this shoot consisted of a favorite of ours...the tuxedo blazer! We paired the blazer with a silk dress that showcased a beaded neckline and hemline detail...just the right amount of bling! The final details included the ankle strap bow heels, more bling in the form of a beaded headband and a vibrant blue clutch for a fun pop of color. 

We hope you enjoy "when in Venice" as much as us...

Hola Lindas! Hoy les traemos parte dos de nuestra serie de Europa- Venezia, Italia

Nuestra aventura en esta ciudad tan magica fue mas memorable de lo que pudimos predicar...fue la visita mas corta de nuestro viaje pero no decepciono!

Desde la primera vez que visite esta ciudad me imagine que no seria la ultima, el laberinto de calles estan llenas de tiendas y cafés que solo te dejan queriendo mas y mas de esta singular ciudad. Durante esta visita entramos a una pequeña tienda de mascaras venecianas con tesoros realmente unicos y no perdimos la oportunidad de incluir una pieza en nuestra sesion...
El dueño de la tienda se divertio al igual que nosotras en escoger la mascara perfecta para Maylene!
El look para esta sesion consistio de una de nuestra piezas favoritas...el blazer estilo tuxedo! Combinamos el blazer con un vestido de seda con detalles de piedreria en el cueyo y la bastilla...la cantidad perfecta de brillo! Los detalles finales incluyeron unas zapatillas con moño, mas brillo en forma de diadema y un bolso brillante de color azul.

Esperemos que disfruten "cuando en Venezia" tanto como nosotras...

Bonjour Lovelies!
Today we bring you the third and final part of our Europe series-Paris, France.
I think Paris is one of those few cities in the world that everyone hopes to visit one day...something about it just entices you and after you have roamed its streets you can understand when people say no other place can compare...

We fell in love all over again...with the architecture, their delicious pastries, the shopping and it's cafes
...just simply with the Parisian way of life!

We were dying to use this hounds-tooth jacket this season so when it came time to decide what to do in Paris we knew this was it! The structure of the jacket is so fun and stylish that we wanted to play off that feel with the whole look. We paired the jacket with the faux leather leggings and some suede ankle boots for that fun feel. The infinity scarf and bag add just enough color and texture to mix up the look.


If you missed Rome and Venice, check them out!
What did you think of our Europe series? Did you enjoy it?

Hola Lindas!
Hoy les traemos la tercera y ultima parte de la series de Europa-Paris, Francia.
Creo que Paris es una de esas pocas ciudades en el mundo al cual todos algun dia desearian visitar...algo de ella te atrae y despues de que has caminado sus calles puedes entender cuando las personas dicen que no hay otro lugar que se compare...

Nos enamoramos nuevamente...con la arquitectura, sus deliciosos postres, lugares de compras, y los cafes...simplemente con su forma de vivir!

Nos moriamos por usar esta chaqueta con diseño de hounds-tooth esta temporada y cuando se llego el momento de decidir que vestir en Paris ya la teniamos en mente! El diseño de la chaqueta es tan divertido y a la moda que fue la combinacion ideal para seguir con el resto del look. Combinamos la chaqueta con unos leggings de piel y botines para ese toque divertido. La bufanda y el bolso añaden suficiente color y textura para crear una mexcla ideal.

Si te perdiste de Roma y Venezia, chequenlos!
Que pensaste de nuestra series de Europa? La disfrutaste?
