and then there was GLAMOUR Magazine...



Hello Lovelies! Today we are doing a very special post about something that has had us smiling from ear to ear the last couple of days...

It all started a few months back with an email. I was sitting going through our Sol Sisters inbox that particular morning when I came across an email from GLAMOUR magazine...I paused, and remember thinking is this for real...its probably spam mail! Thank goodness I continued to read!! The email was from the recruiting editor of the magazine and she was inviting us to participate in a shoot they were doing with bloggers in our area...We immediately got to work on the look.

We were in disbelief the whole time we were there doing the shoot...It was just too cool!!
Fast forward to a few days ago... 
I am sitting in my office thinking the February issue should be out now! I then get on my iPad and and there it was...the article showcases two other lovely ladies and Liz who's rocking the white tuxedo blazer and totally representing our style and blog!!

We feel so happy, excited, honored and empowered to have had this experience and even happier we can finally share it on the blog with all of our readers!

We encourage you to go out and get a copy for yourself...it is full of all kinds of goodies!

Thank you for all your support...it means the world to us!!

Hola Lindas! Hoy compartiremos con ustedes un post muy especial...algo que nos ha echo sonreir de oreja a oreja estos ultimos dias...

Todo empezo hace unos meses atras mientras leia un correo electronico. Revisaba el inbox de Sol Sisters cuando llegue a un correo de la revista GLAMOUR...recuerdo que en ese momento cuestione la autentidad del correo...Doy las gracias que si me anime a seguir leyendo!! El correo era de parte de la editora de reclutamiento para la revista y era para invitarnos a participar en una sesion de fotos que estarian haciendo con bloggeras en nuestra area. Inmediatamente nos pusimos a trabajar.

El dia de la sesion de fotos no podiamos creer lo que estabamos haciendo...Realmente increible!
Hagamos un adelanto a hace unos dias atras...
Estoy sentada en mi oficina y me pongo a contemplar si la edicion del mes de Febrero ya salio a la venta...rapido corro por el iPad y alli esta...el articulo muestra a dos lindas chicas y a Liz luciendo un blazer estilo tuxedo y representando el estilo de Sol Sisters y nuestro blog!!

Nos sentimos sumamente felizes, emocionadas, con gran honor y fortalecidas por haber tenido esta experiencia y todavia mas felizes que lo podemos compartir con todas ustedes!

Gracias a todas por todo el apoyo que no han brindado...lo es todo para nosotras!!

Ve y compra tu copia...esta llena de grandes sorpresas!

xoxo Sol Sisters

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.

What Maylene wore:
Jacket/Chamara: Local boutique in Queretaro, Mexico
Dress/Vestido: Zara
Shoes/Zapatillas: Local store in Phoenix
Clutch/Bolso: Local boutique Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Earings/Aretes: Forever 21
















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?

xoxo Sol Sisters

What Maylene wore:
Jacket/Chaqueta: Hottie, local store
Leggings: H&M
Ankle boots/botines: local store
Infinity scarf/bufanda: custom made by a friend, Mexico
Hand bag/bolso: Panacea's signature handbag
