Beauty Thursdays-What is beauty?

Hello dolls! Today I was getting ready to write about a beauty product...I was thinking to share with all of you some of my new additions from ULTA, Sally's, or MAC and share what I have found that works for me...but then I stopped myself and started dwelling on the question "What is Beauty?" I changed gears and this post may be somewhat deeper than what you are used to reading from us...but I still wanted to share my thoughts and feelings with y'all.

I know that after having kids I learned to love my imperfections. Believe me, I sometimes still criticize parts of my body (everyone around me hates it when I do it and I don't like it when other women do the same with themselves) but I just remind myself of how it is OK to be perfectly imperfect. To be perfectly imperfect is what makes everyone unique, beautiful, powerful, and lovely.

The Sol Sisters truly believe women are gorgeous. We want to help women believe  in their own beauty and that was one of the main reasons we started our blog. It does not matter your style, skin color, size, background, none of that. We all are beautiful in our own way. Remember to always like your imperfections and thank them because they just made you "one of a kind" completely unique and beautiful to the world around you.

xoxo The Sol Sisters

Hola Munecas! Hoy me estaba preparando para escribir acerca de varios productos de belleza que he comprador en ULTA, Sally’s, y MAC. Al empezar a escribir empece a pensar en la pregunta ‘que es la belleza?” cambie de direccion y les voy a advertir que talvez este post sea un poco mas profundo de lo que estan acostumbradas a leer de nosotras. Pero al mismo tiempo quiero compartir mis pensamientos y mis sentimientos con todas ustedes.

Se que despues de tener a mis hijos aprendi a amar mis imperfecciones. Creanme, todavia me critic mi fisico (todos alrededor de mi les choca cuando lo hago, y aqui entre nos…a mi tambien me choca cuando mis amigas se critican a ellas mismas) pero siempre me digo a mi misma que no hay nada de malo en ser perfectamente imperfect. El ser perfectamente imperfect es lo que nosh ace ser unicas, hermosas, ponderosas, y amorosas.

Las Sol Sisters sinceramente creen que las mujeres son hermosas! Nosotras queremos ayudar a las mujeres a que crean en su propia belleza. Esa fue una de las razones principals por las que comenzamos nuestro blog. No importa tu estilo, tu color de piel, tu talla, tu pasado, nada de eso importa. Todas somos hermosas en nuestra propia manera. Recuerda en siempre apreciar tus imperfecciones y agradecerle a esas imperfecciones por que ellas fueron las que te hicieron ser unica. Completamente unica y Hermosa para tu  mundo alrededor de ti

One Piece Three Ways- Pleated Skirt

This past week I did some online shopping and I came across this beauty! I couldn't resist the fact that it was a beautiful cobalt blue and pleated. It is from Simply Be, a plus size online store with some great things. The skirt is now on sale for $29.00!

I love the fact that it can easily be used in a casual look with a tucked in graphic tee and flats or a glittery top and heels. Below I have styled it three different ways that can easily be worn to work, a date and to a formal event.

Which one is your favorite?

Me encanta la idea de poder lucir la falda en un look casual con una camiseta grafica y zapatos planos o mas formal con una blusa de lentejuela y zapatillas.  He creado tres looks differentes que facilmente se pueden en el trabajo, una cita amorosa y a un evento formal.

Sol Sisters Style- Neon + Stripes

You know when you get a new pair of shoes and you just can't wait to wear them...well lets just say these fun loveliness on my feet where the driving force for this look! I have definitely become a more avid online shopper and I have done some great purchases on Hautelook ( a Nordstrom company). The shoes were a Hautelook purchase and I thought they would be a great addition to my collection. Check them out if your not familiar...they have great stuff!

 With a floral pattern and neon color scheme the heels seemed so appropriate for a summer look. The look is very straight forward- a blazer, a blouse and a pair of boyfriend jeans so we knew we wanted to bring more interest to it with color and pattern. The blouse was a great way to tie in the heels and the stripes add even more interest to the look. The jeans help keep the look casual while the statement necklace adds texture to a solid top. The salmon blazer is so vibrant and rich in color ( I guess that's hard to miss ) that it worked so well as an anchor to complete the look!

What is your favorite piece?

Puedes recordar la sensación cuando compras un nuevo par de zapatos y no puedes resistir las ganas de usarlos...les diré que esa fue la fuerza impulsora tras este look! Últimamente me ha dado por hacer compras por el internet. Después de varias compras por medio del sitio Hautelook ( una compañía de la tienda de departamentos Nordstrom) encontré estos divertidos tacones y serán una gran adición a mi colección! 

Con un estampado florar y esquema de colores neón los tacones son perfectos para un look de verano. El look es bastante directo- un blazer, una blusa y unos jeans así que quisimos crear más interés con el color y estampado. La blusa fue la primera pieza que escogimos para combinar con los tacones aparte que las rayas crean más interés visual. Los jeans fueron essenciales para mantener el look mas casual y el collar agrego textura a la blusa sólida. El blazer en salmón es tan vibrante y rico en color que fue la perfecta ancla para completar el look! 

Cual es tu pieza favorita?

Blazer- Sear's

Blouse/Blusa- Marshall's

Jeans- Torrid

Heels/Tacones- Michael Antonio vía Hautelook

Special Event- Brave Wings Fashion Show

Sol Sisters were invited to the inaugural Brave Wings Fashion Show to benefit the Sojourner Center. The Sojourner Center is actually on of the nation’s oldest shelters helping women in need from domestic violence. We were glad to learn that the Sojourner Center helps every year over 3000 women. Some of the services provided to these women and children encompass shelter, on-site care, legal advocacy, basic health care, and education for women and children where they learn how to be empowered and break away from a life of violence. 

We were thankful to Mabel Cortez from Mabella Chic for personally inviting The Sol Sisters to cover this event. With a vision in mind and the desire to contribute back to their community Mabel of Mabella Chick and Jenesis Laforcade of Woman's Touch Apparel got to work on bringing to life last nights event and with a great response from like minded individuals it's obvious these two fabulous women will do great things! The designers (Woman’s Touch Apparel, Cher Thomas, Mabella Chic, Dawn Sunflower, Trifilio, and Orlando Dugi), the vendors (Friday I am Sassy, Stella and Dot, Lana May,  DAMAS, Madelyn Nault Accessories, MUZ Be Inspired and THREADS), the venue where the event was held (The Venue Scottsdale), and the music (by DJ Digital Phunk) were on point. The combination of all of these players made the event a success and we cannot wait to see what they will bring us next year.

Mabel and Jenesis, Sol Sisters want to thank you for bringing fashion to help a great cause, make an event such a success, and introduce designers that we feel are leaving a footprint in the fashion world starting here within our community. Some of our favorite designers were Woman's Touch Apparel, Mabella Chic, Trifilio, and Orlando Dugi. Orlando Dugi brings sophistication, edge, and colorful designs to the runway. Woman's Touch Apparel definitely creates a piece of clothing that empowers women and makes them feel sexy and in control with a very street style vibe, Trifilio brings a very feminine contemporary style to the runway, and Mabella Chic brings comfort, color and trend in such a effortless way.

Special Event- The Bling Ring

Hi dears! Inez and I were invited to a special advance screening for the movie “The Bling Ring”, starring Emma Watson, Leslie Mann, Claire Julien, Israel Broussard, Taissa Farmiga, and Katie Chang. Written and directed by Sofia Coppola. The movie opens nationwide on 6/21/2013. The movie is based off an article in Vanity Fair by Nancy Jo Sales titled” The suspects wore Louboutins” published in 2010 and real life events of robberies committed by a group of teen between 2008-2009.  

We love the way Sofia Coppola tells the story of these young people trying to live the fabulous life of the rich and famous “one heist at a time”. The movie’s message touches on the fact that today’s culture is so enamored with the life of the rich and famous that they are even willing to commit crimes to be a part of that circle. Unfortunately most of their irrational behavior is done under very high doses of illegal substances. The whole movie entails following the fame-obsessed LA teenagers while they go to clubs, rob famous people’s homes, indulge in taking drugs, going “shopping”, and finally getting caught. Some of the real life victims included: Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge, Orlando Bloom, Lindsay Lohan, and Megan Fox.

Music also plays a huge part in the movie. The soundtrack includes modern music genres like Hip Hop, Rap, Krautrock, and Electronic. I personally love this kind of music. Inez has a different opinion but agrees that music played a huge role in telling these kids story. Sol Sisters would recommend you watch this movie as it touches on today’s culture and shines on the pitfalls we deal with as a society, the teenage state of mind, and the Hollywood culture that seems to be at the center of it all sometimes (they all seem to be the same in this instance if you ask us).

Let us know if you go and watch it and what you think of the movie?

One Piece Three Ways- Little Black Summer Dress

So it's that day of the week where I get to create three looks from a piece of clothing that caught my eye...today it's this flirty little black dress from H&M and its only $34.95

I think little black dresses are so versatile in general and summer months should be no exception. The cut of this dress really lends itself to be worn on those summer days and nights! This dress could easily transition you from a morning brunch to a nice dinner to a night out on the town!

Here I show you how I did it...

I hope these looks inspire you to create something new with your little black dress!

________________________________________________________

Ya llego de nuevo el día de la semana cuando me toca crear tres looks de una sola pieza de ropa que me ha llamado la atención...hoy es este coqueto vestido negro de H&M y esta a solo $34.95

Creo que el vestido negro en general es muy versatil y pienso que en los meses de verano no tiene que ser la excepción. El corte de este vestido se presta para lucir lo de día y de noche. Fácilmente con el cambio de accesorios lo puedes lucir desde el almuerzo, a una cena y hasta para salir a bailar! Aquí te muestro como lo hice yo...

Espero y estos looks te hayan inspirado a crear algo nuevo con tu vestido negro!
