Today I'm finally sharing the final look from my 50 shades of grey video. This entire outfit head to toe is from H&M and I love the all black sleek look. I'm a huge fan of the peplum trend because it totally flatters all body types. It's the perfect way to an instant hour glass shape, weather you really have one or not. I've also been hooked on midi length pencil skirts. I feel that they are much sexier than a mini skirt because the length actually shows off your curves more. The mini skirt focuses more and showing lots of leg, whereas the midi covers the leg but hugs your body all the way down and makes your curves pop. This was my favorite look from the entire video and I hope you guys enjoy it too. <3
I must admit ... I am THOROUGHLY OVER this cold weather!! I have dreams of spring and summer every night. The temperature is making a strong hold to the below freezing numbers in NYC but everything else around me is starting to show signs of spring. I woke up this morning to hear the birds chirping outside my window. Although it's still cold their instincts tell them spring is around the corner and it's time to start building their nests. March is soon approaching and with it comes daylight savings and the first day of spring. Also, stored are beginning to switch over their inventory to spring items.
Today I'm sharing with you the new summer tank top and flip flop bundle from Erin Condren. If you follow my videos on YouTube, you guys know I adore my Erin Condren Life Planner. It literally gets me through the day and keeps me focused and productive. (I'll add in some videos of how I decorate it and how I use it at the end of this post).
However, Erin Condren also has a bunch of other items besides their famous planners, and everything is customizable! I love this new bundle they came out with, especially because it makes me feel like warmer days are on their way. Everything even comes packaged adorably! The bundle includes their new summer tank top and a pair of flip flops. There are a few different flip flop designs to choose from and you can customize them!! Some of the designs allow space for up to 3 letters (I chose to put my initials on mine), while the other designs have a bit more space where you can include your actual first name. All of the patterns and designs are super cute, as is standard for Erin Condren, and some can even be customized to whichever color you prefer! My fhosen flip flop design already had multi-colored polka dots (which I think are super cute) so it was not one of the color customizable options, but some of the other designs allow for your color preference.
The package also came with an adorable and sturdy beach tote. I'm drooling over the set and can't wait to hit the sand with my new goodies. If I was craving a vacation before, I desperately need one now, if for no other reason than to show off my personalized flip flops! Complete side note: I actually really like that the flip flops are a bit on the thicker side. I've purchased thinner flip flops before because they were cheap and found that before the summer was over my foot print was so deeply indented into the shoe that it was almost breaking through to the floor. This are a thick sturdy material and won't give you that problem. The tank top is also a very soft light material, perfect for hot days. So basically - not only cute but actually very functional.
We are almost in the home stretch of my 50 shades of grey outfit posts! This may very well be my favorite look from the video. I adore the clean, stream-lined look of this outfit. The fact that I paired it with a denim shirt makes it seem almost casual but it can still be a very classy work look. It also has a timeless vibe with the denim and slack combo. The clothes are from H&M and the shoes are JustFab. One more look to go so check back on Tuesday for that!
Here is the second outfit post from my 50 Shades of Grey inspired Fashion video. This is one of my absolute favorite looks from the video. This poncho/oversized scarf and hat are just Everything. I've also been on a huge all black everything kick lately but I actually like this look paired with blue jeans. It draws in a bit of color to break up the monochromatic palette but is such a basic that you still get the all black edgy vibe.
The Jeans are True Religion and the thermal is Hanes. Everything else is from H&M.
Today I'm starting my 50 shades of grey mini blog series. I recently posted a 50 Shades of Grey inspired Fashion video on my channel (which you can also watch here, below) so today I'll be sharing photos oh the first outfit featured in the video. There's 5 in total so check back for all the looks.
This first look has a super casual vibe and just screams Sunday errands to me. I adore the girlfriend style jeans and the layering on top. Add a vibrant color, like this sweater, for a fun, youthful pop and some simple loafers for comfort. The entire look, head to toe, is from H&M.
I've always had an attachment to all black. It's clean, simple and leaves so much to imagination. The fit of this outfit is also very sleek, even with the poncho on top. I especially love the V shape of the poncho because it helps to accentuate an hourglass figure. The poncho almost acts as an accessory in this look, along with the hat and shoes and, of course, the gold exposed zipper on the pants... yes zippers can flex as accessories in certain situations. Overall, I'm in love. Let me know your thoughts!
By the way, this is the final achieved outfit from 2014. Starting on Tuesday I'll be rolling out some NEW looks shot this past weekend as well as a teaser trailer of my new fashion video coming out February 6th. Hope you enjoy it all!
Let's get fancy today! With Valentine's Day just around the corner I find my mind wandering to dressier date night looks. Although it seems I'll be spending my V-Day alone with some chocolate Haagen Dazs, as a YouTube and blogger it's my duty to give you guys ideas for the big day - plus, how much fun is it to play dress up!!
I've been allllll overrrr the midi skirt trend lately and I love how this one, from Zara, incorporates a lace overlay. It adds the perfect feminine touch to a super flattering silhouette. I kept the color palette simple, well mainly all black, but I did throw in a brown tweed jacket. Most people forget that black and brown, both being neutrals, actually work amazingly together! You don;t have to pick one of the other. This jacket also has black leather patches and piping which ties in to this look perfectly. I would totally wear this out to a dinner date or a dressy event.
As we continue to flow right along through January, and I continue to dream of warmer days ahead, I wanted to share with you this ootd that combines some of my favorite things: rips and plaids. I added a basic tank top for a very carefree vibe. You can opt for heels or flats depending on the occasion and both would work.
I hope my posts can help attract milder weather soon. In the meantime I'll try to enlist a willing camera person to help me shoot some winter appropriate looks soon.
Happy 2015!!! I hope you all had an amazing start to your year. I'm ready to embark on new journeys this year and to just all together move forward in positive directions!
To kick start my year on this blog I had to begin with a fashion post. This was shot a few weeks ago before the ridiculous cold came to New York but it's one of my favorite outfits. I'm a big fan of all white, but in this case the pops of red are a nice addition. Add a cozy beanie, my favorite heels ever, and a flow and comfortable fit.. nothing short of fashion magic.
I hope you guys enjoy this first look of the year and are excited for many more. My new blogging schedule will be Tuesdays and Thursdays for now. Along with a new video every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on my YouTube channel (MissBarbieBaby) and a new Spanish video every other Saturday. I'm ALSO commenting to a 365 day vlogging challenge so I will be recording every day of my life this year and sharing it with you all on my second YouTube channel (MissBarbieBabyTV). These are not your average butterflies and roses vlogs. They're real and raw and I cry a lot I notice lol. I also have two huge projects I'm working on and can't wait to share with you all!
I'm taking a lot under my wing work-wise this year but I'm excited for the journey.
