Today was back to school for me. I don't want to sound nerdy, but i kinda missed it. Be aware that from now on i might (pretty sure i will) come here to vent my anger and frustration that the school year may cause. It's tough, i let stuff get to me, so one of this year's resolution was to try to take things as they come and do everything i can to get through them. Let's see how that goes!

I'm pretty sure many of you like to plan your outfits in advance. Not that this was special occasion, but i wanted to look cool without looking like i was trying too hard. Lord, i care too much about this! I'm such a weirdo!

This scarf thing is more of a pareo* i found in my mom's closet. I just love scarfs; the chunkier the better, so this made the perfect summer scarf because the fabric is really lightweight.

When i got back home i decided to treat myself with a yummy banana smoothie (with chocolate sprinkled on top) and a home manicure & pedicure :)


BDG jeans; Paula Cahen D'Anvers tank; mom's pareo; Forever 21 boots; Forever 21 watch; Forever 21 bracelet; Forever 21 necklace.


* pareo. Rectangular piece of colored printed cloth worn as a skirt or loincloth as the principal item of clothing for men and women of Polynesia. Adaptations popular in the United States as beach fashion in 1959s and after. - from The Fairchild Dictionary of Fashion by Charlotte Mankey Calasibetta and Phyllis Tortora.

Supongo que si son de Buenos Aires como yo, muchos habrán vuelto hoy a sus respectivas actividades académicas. Por un lado, tengo que admitir que ya lo extrañaba, pero por otro, se que en un par de semanas voy a estar al borde del desquicio total. Por eso, una de las resoluciones para este año nuevo fue tomarme las cosas con calma y tratar de hacer todo lo posible para llevarlas a cabo. 

Ni idea que resultará de todo eso, pero siendo el último año, espero poder disfrutarlo también.

That scarf/pareo is absolutely beautiful dear! I adore those boots. Annnnd yay for red nails and that yummy looking smoothie!!

Indeed the Pareo gives this look an otherwordly feel. It's the definition of how one piece can totally bring an outfit to a complete other level! It's gorgeous mostly because you suit it soooo well.

Your nails look amazing and I love your boots!!

Oh and how great is the Fairchild Dictionary of Fashion?! My brother offered me mine this past Christmas, I use it all the time!!

I just realized that i have you on the wrong links page on my blog...you need to be on "My Addictions"! I honestly follow your blog/style like its a blogging religion! Adore you style and you're such a beauty :)

Thanks for your comment :) when i was in high school all I wanted was straight hair but my hair used to be FAR curlier- ringlets- and as my hair changed when I was in University it became feasible for me to straighten it all the time. SO i did and for about 3 years it was straight 24/7.
then I got sick of it and wanted my curls back only they were so burned from neglect/straightening damage that I had to treat them all the time with masques and nurture them back to life. Finally i can have the best of both worlds. Definitely teaches one to be careful what they wish for lol! I love my hair straight and it feels so great to wear it that way but I really try and embrace the curls too :)

That scarf is awesome on you - but then everything that you wear looks great on you! Enjoy school and take it easy..!

Sigh, I get excited too when school used to come around the corner every year. Then the assignment starts and I'm like counting down the days to the next vacation. :P

I love the print on your scarf. It's so nice and big it almost doubles as a cardigan/vest type thing. Oh and I'm jealous of your jewelery, any way you can start your own little store? I'd totally buy! :)

How can you get your manicure to paint on so perfectly? I always have to go to the salon to do it, I'm horrible with paint so I usually just leave my nails buffed which isn't bad.

Oh, and thanks for dropping by on my site. :)

Stephanie dijo...

your story about the Fairchild dictionary is insane!!
what a mission!!! I can't believe they had to re-order it! Definitely makes for a worthy purchase now that you went through so much trouble and finally have it!
Hydration is key with curly hair because it's inherently dry. The iron is also key! when I first started straightening it there was no way I was ever going to get it straight without the help of the iron. Now it's easier to get straight and I go for a more careless look: I half ass the blowdry, no iron, sleep on it and it turns out ok. lol.
