When in Venice...

Hello Lovelies! Today we bring you part two of our Europe series- 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...

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
