New clothes!!

Zara long sleeve

Zara blue blazer

Zara plaid shirt

Pull&Bear sweater

Winter street style

Winter is knocking our doors and this guy knows how to welcome it. The mix of a relaxed look with a touch of formality is the perfect look for this season. I love how he layers a t-shirt, a sweater and a blazer. These loose black pants are perfect tucked under the military boots. 

Teen Vogue Fashion U Experience

This weekend has been one of the best weekends of my life. For the second time, I got to attend Teen Vogue Fashion University at NYC. It lasted three days and it was amazing!

The first night (Friday) they threw us a party at H&M at 5^th avenue, and gave us 20% off, which is a lot. Then on the second day, we had our seminars. The keynote speaker was Michael Kors. He was so funny and nice, such a good person and designer. Then I had Alexander Wang. He has a true vision of fashion, and his style is very plain, but his designs are wonderful. After that, Proenza Schouler guys made their entrance to the event. Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are a pair of young and bright designers that have accomplished so much at a very early age. They are so humble and nice. It was my favorite seminar for sure.

Then, it was time for lunch. I went to a burger place in Times Square with two fellow fashionistas, Anna Paula and Angeline. Then I headed to Whitney Port’s seminar. It was nice to hear her point of view and to talk to her, she’s so smart and a bright businesswoman.

My tour around the Teen Vogue offices was the best. I got to see Amy Astley in her office, and she remembered me!! She told me “Hey, you’re from Mexico, right? Did you know Proenza made a collection inspired in Mexico?”. I was so surprised and happy she remembered me. We went to the famous closet. It was beyond amazing, filled with every piece from every top designer. I wish I could have gotten my hands on some of that stuff.

After that, we had the editor’s panel, where they answered every question from every aspiring fashionista. They were so nice and helpful. Then it was time for our private Topshop party at SoHo. The atmosphere was amazing. Filled with really cool people, dressed so chic and original. Photographers were taking snapshots to the attendees and waiters were giving small pastries. Topshop gave every TVFU student a 20% discount.

I went out with my friends from NY, Jacqueline and Nick, whom I met during my semester abroad in Florence, Italy. It was so nice to see them again. We went to a bar and then to Nick’s friend’s apartment. We had so much fun remembering old times.

It was Sunday, our graduation day. We had only one seminar this time. “Fashion in the digital age”, with wonderful speakers, such as Hillary Kerr, Katherine Powers, Aliza Licht, Rich Tong, and Susan Koger. TVFU was sadly over. They took the graduation picture to us and everyone took their own way.

I took the rest of the day to go shopping at SoHo, the new Uniqlo store at 5^th. Avenue, which is super cool. And at night my sister and I went to see Billy Elliot. Such an amazing musical. It’s so emotional and breath-taking. The next day we headed back to Mexico and my trip was over. I had such an amazing time at the city. Now I’m looking for schools to study there when I’m finished here.

I just bought this new sweater from Zara. I've been loving this color lately. I think i'll wear it for my trip to NYC this weekend. I can't wait to go to all my favorite shops. Uniqlo, Topman, Opening Ceremony... Oh I love that city.

New on my wardrobe

So, these are some of the things I've been buying lately. I loved that sweatshirt when I first saw it at the Urban Outfitters catalogue and I knew I had to get it. And the bow tie is simply perfect: red and shiny.

RWT Review: Acne SS 2012

As you might have noticed, Acne is one of my favorite fashion houses. Their design is simple, well structured, and different from other labels. Scandinavian fashion is the leading one from my point of view, and Stockholm is the capital of it. Acne's Johnny Johansson added:


"Historically we don't have a fashion background, really," he said after his latest Acne show. "Architecture, yes. Design, yes. But fashion?" 


What do you think of that? Do you agree or disagree with him?


I leave you my picks from this WONDERFUL collection. My favorite so far.

RTW Review: Balmain SS 2012

The house of Balmain presented their Spring/Summer 2012 collection on Paris Fashion Week. The pieces are very rock-ish, with a bit of tailoring. Balmain is well known for the care free look, but this time they're adding pastel colors to their designs, which I think is awesome. Here are my favorite looks from the runway:

Teen Vogue Fashion U

Last year, I was accepted to go to Teen Vogue Fashion University, and it was one of the most amazing and gratifying experiences of my life. I got to hear from really important people in the industry about their careers and how to succeed like they did. Last year, I took the following classes: Rachel Roy, Fashion Bloggers (Hanneli Mustaparta, Street Peeper, Judy and Jane Aldridge), Zac Posen, and Vera Wang. And the most important fact: I got to see and hear Anna Wintour in person; she gave the opening remarks.

You can check me out at the video on the TVFU website

Well, this post is specially for announcing that I have been accepted to this year's TVFU!!!!

I couldn't be more excited! I am overjoyed! These are the seminars I'm taking:

• Whitney Port
• Alexander Wang
• Proenza Schouler
• Michael Kors
• Teen Vogue Editors
• Editorial floor tour

Not to mention the two private shopping sessions at H&M and Topshop!!

Quite impressive, right? I am so lucky to be part of this, and I hope it helps on my career.
