XOXO Mariela: February 2015

Hello,

So Yay it's finally the weekend and I have two days off from school although, not so much because I still have homework to do so. So far I've spent my weekend creating more sets on Polyvore and watching Netflix. How do you like to spend your weekends?

Anyways, recently I partnered up with Fevrie Fashion and was introduced to this new website (new for me) that carries a wide variety of clothing, and I'm glad because I love the pieces they carry especially the materials used to create the clothing. You guys/girls should check them out at www.fevrie.com. I created this look, that has been on repeat for me, using their Aspen Sweater (which is made from the most comfortable material!) and paired it with a basic tee from Isabel Marant and some black skinnies, this look can take you many places whether you add boots for a more laid back look or heels for a night out. Also, catch this, you can score this sweater or any item from Fevrie for a 25% off discount using the code 'mariela4194' during checkout time! Don't forget the code expires on 2-28-15.

XOXO Mariela

Hey,

So this post is long overdue, I've been sooo busy lately it's actually kind of crazy how busy I've been! I just went back to school recently and all I've been doing is studying, going to school, and work. Somehow college makes you rethink that having an actual life is unnecessary (*sarcasm). But anyways, in January the new designer collections came out for Spring 2015 Couture and can I say some of these collections make me have nightmares (in a good way), not because they're not good, Oh No! But because they're just so perfect and dreamy and expensive that I can't have them...hahaha. I just fell in love with some of the collections and especially the gowns. My only hope is that since I can't wear these gowns I will get to see some of my favorite celebrities wear some of these during red carpets. Nevertheless, my favorite designer collection was the CHANEL collection, I had several others to but I would never finish this post if I listed all of them. Anyways, those CHANEL beanies with the floral embellishments were so creative and so pretty! I have always loved the idea of any kind of embellishment on any type of clothing and accessory. Aside from the very cute accessories I also loved the clothing, which also had embellishments of its own. The dresses with the floral appliqués were so ethereal I had to recreate them in paintings. Not only is CHANEL my favorite because of the clothing itself but because I love how much time, effort and creativity is put into the actual show. The creative team for CHANEL always gives such a visually appealing impression to its spectators. Here are some pics of some of my favorite pieces from the collection. Maybe I'll do a post about my paintings another time, for now enjoy.
