Hello there! Can you believe that today is our 4th blogiversary?
Happy birthday to us! The past year has been the slowest on this blog since its beginning. There is a perfect inverse correlation between how slow the year has been for the blog and how fast it has been in my life.

Hello there!
With much fanfare, the first collection designed (rather than edited) by Maribba Webb for Banana Republic launched in stores and online last week. Since I quite liked the spin she has given to #thenewBR since being appointed Creative Director (and I am still drooling over all pieces of her Fall collection presented at New York Fashion Week), I was quite excited to check it out.

Hello there!
It's Spring! It's Spring! I cannot believe how fast the snow has been melting this week, which has made the stomach bug I have come down to just a bit more bearable. Of course, it is our usual cold Spring (and by Easter time, when temperatures will still hesitate to raise, I will complain about it) but for now, I am too excited to be reminded Fashion for the Rest of Ushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18319697458617111724noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205271645586332153.post-28645060687973306812015-02-20T11:40:00.001-05:002015-02-20T11:41:05.637-05:00AROUND MY CLOSET DURING NYFW
Hello everyone! Are you following Fashion Week?
The Fall edition of Fashion Week is one my favorite things. Shows, appearances, Altfits and amazing bags aside, somehow this year it has also made me ponder a lot.

Hello everyone!
It there is one thing that New York Fashion Week has made official, it is the latest trend for pants' hemlines: cropped, 70s-inspired flared or a combination of both (like Jane Aldrige above).
The good news for those (like me) who are still freezing their butt off, is that cropped pants look nice andFashion for the Rest of Ushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18319697458617111724noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205271645586332153.post-26458419340103660862015-02-06T11:53:00.002-05:002015-02-11T11:32:56.490-05:00HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Six more weeks of winter. This is what have officially forecasted two Phils in the US and a Sam in Canada.

Hello everyone! Did you hear about Target next collaboration?
Cold or no cold (and annoying emails aside), I felt like being visited by the Ghost of Summer Yet to Come when I flipped through Target next collaboration with Lilly Pulitzer. Ah, that hammock! And the flip-flops with gold details! I need to start saving up.

Because it is probably cold where you are, if you live anywhere north of Phoenix (yep, there are winter storm warnings in New Mexico as well).

I am patting myself on the back for quite a productive week, which has unexpectedly ended... with a new logo! I have been toying with this idea for a while and suddenly the color scheme worked out.

Hello everyone and happy New Year!
How did you spend the holidays? My parents came back to visit us, so we mixed family time and fun activities outside the house -- although we were all a bit bummed by the lack of snow.

It has been a (long) while since my last musings on the craziness of fashion (full set here). Here is a really good one though.

Hello everyone! Did you shop on Cyber Monday?
If you did not, fear not. A few retailers have just endorsed Cyber Week. It is now clear that online shopping has kept 6 million less shoppers than anticipated to show up in American stores last Friday. This is perhaps why Cyber Monday deals have been extended.

Hello everyone! Did you notice how fast and furious the Thanksgiving sales have come this year?

Hello everyone! Are you shopping the Alexander Wang for H&M collaboration tomorrow?
Breaking with a long tradition, I am sitting this one out (for sure, not like last year). The collection could have been designed by the Sporty Spice, had she ever had a gothic period, and black, cropped, boxy, and body-con garments (which also happen to be obnoxiously logo-ed) are not my cup of tea.
