Velvet Accents

If you knew the importance of velvet in my life, you will consider me a maniac. But I believe this is one of the most sophisticated and sultry fabrics out there. To me, it speaks of refine taste, eccentric but also sensual.

Studying Interior Design for the last four years of my life, lead me to explore more with this natural texture textile. I found a couple of images that are close to my heart.

A great way to accentuate a hall and showcase velvet

Those chairs are blowing my mind. The way that they frame the table invites for a beautiful dinner night.

What inspire me the most about this room is the contrast of classic pieces and of course the photography of Snoop dog right above a gorgeous velvet couch. It is all about balance my friends. 

So how could add velvet in your life? I recommend small steps. Velvet can help you add richness to a room as well as an accent colors. If you would like to invest, start with an accent chair like this one at C&B in Emerald or my personal favorite is Indigo because it mixes well with most colors. Also, you can explore a  pillow like this Westelm studded velvet pillow in Leek

Why you might have 'nothing to wear' when your closet is full

 Well lady... it is time to look at your closet to admire all those trendy pieces you worn once and now are just sitting there, forgotten. What a waste!..

Making strategics purchases means neutrals and not boring. I learned how to love neutral, classic pieces that are timeless lie; the perfect pair of jeans, a trench coat, a good pair of brown leather boots, a cashmere sweater, a leather jacket and a black blazer. 
Neutral colors are easy to pair up, they go great with patterns and also they are always in season.
These great outfit combos of neutral colors are best transitions pieces. Look at each outfit and dissect each piece of clothing and you have more than a week worth of outfits.

Alexa Chung is wearing all black with a beautiful gray coat and an statement piece which is her purse.

Now you could wear the same pants black pants and wear the camel sweater on the third picture and if is too cold.. add that wine coat on the second picture and you are set!.

A little change can't hurt ...

Hi darlings!

With the new year and my resolution to post more often and keep up with all my blogs, I decided to make combine my efforts. I hope you all enjoy my post about fashion, style, trends, food and beauty tips.

Hey there chick

More often than not, I under estimate the benefits of legumes. Recently, I researched for other ways to intake nutrients, proteins, fiber and minerals. Finding healthy and quick choices was easier than I thought.
Garbanzo beans (chickpeas) contain all of the already mentioned sources of energy PLUS they lower cholesterol due to the dietary fiber which helps to lower cholesterol levels. Also, promotes digestive health, good source of iron and this legume contains folic acid which is important in preventing neural tube birth defects. How about that for a super food?

Here are two quick ways of preparing chickpeas for the next time you want to open a can of garbanzo beans and feel wonderful about it.

Salad 1

1 can of Garbanzo beans (rinsed)
1/2 avocado
1/2 lemon
Feta
a hand full of arugula
Olive Oil
S&P


Salad 2
1 can of Garbanzo beans (rinsed)

1/4 of purple onion (cut very fine)
1 avocado
1/2 lemon
Feta
Fresh Dill
1 corn on the cob (cooked or 1/2 can of whole kernel corn)
Olive Oil
S&P


The best thing about these salad is that you can mixed all the ingredients together without taking any instructions! You can also warm up a pita bread and 'add salad 2' on it for your guy for a quick lunch.

Enjoy
