Celebrity Style: Alexa Chung


I've been a fan of Alexa Chung for the past three years. For those of you who do not know who Alexa is, she is an English television presenter and model. She is fearless and has been the indie poster child of fashion for the past few years. Not to mention, she has amazing hair; her bangs are certainly her trademark. I think that Alexa represents the perfect mix of English and French style; edgy and chic. Wether she is dressing up for a music festival or for the red carpet, she always manages to look cool and not to overdone.

Bye Bye Europe


It's finally here; the end of our amazing Europe trip. The end of this trip is very bittersweet. I don't want to leave these beautiful cities but I really miss my dog and good Mexican food.

Despite that, I can't wait to move to London next year. It's been a dream of mine since the age of 9, and I'm so excited for all of the amazing adventures I have to come.

This trip, I attempted my first few look books. I've been getting really good feedback from it, on this blog and on Instagram. It's something that I am definitely going to continue doing once I get back home.

Thank you for reading my blog. I appreciate every single person that has read it so far. There is a lot more to come.

Favorite Beauty Products: Spring 2014

I've taken a few days off of doing the daily travel look book because we've been super busy around Paris. But, I'll be back at it tomorrow! So here is a quick post about my favorite spring beauty products.

I am a huge beauty products junkie, though, I like to look as natural as possible. I love nudes and light makeup that just make your skin look flawless. Spring is the perfect time to try new products. These are the ones that I've been using nonstop all through this season.

SEPHORA COLLECTION
Rouge Infusion Lip Stain

I used this lip stain at Coachella in the Sephora tent everyday and I had to go buy one for myself once I got back home. My favorite colors are Tangerine and Coral.

Maybelline
Volum' Express The Falsies Mascara

This is the cheapest item in my favorites and also the best mascara I have ever used. It doesn't clump and it lengthens and makes your lashes full. One of my all time beauty favorites.

YVES SAINT LAURENT
LE TEINT TOUCHE ÉCLAT Illuminating Foundation SPF 19

Such an amazing foundation. It's light and doesn't feel too dry or dewy once it's on your skin. It lasts all through the day and leaves your skin looking flawless.

Urban Decay
Naked 3

One of the best neutral eyeshadow palettes ever. It's my favorite of the three palettes from the Naked collection. All of the colors are extremely pigmented. Totally worth the purchase.

Topshop
Cream Blush

I'm not usually a fan of cream blushes, but this one dries and gives the off the most beautiful glow once it's on your skin. My favorite color is called Flush. It's a beautiful rose color that looks amazing in the spring.

Jo Malone
Orange Blossom Body Lotion

I am a huge fan of Jo Malone. When my family went to Italy last year, my mom and I wanted a new scent just for our trip, so we chose Orange Blossom. It's the most beautiful scent that I've been wearing this Spring. Every time I smell it, it reminds me of our wonderful trip.

What are you favorite beauty products this Spring?

Yesterday was our last day in London *tears*, so i knew I had to have a fun outfit. We spent the day looking at universities and ended the day in Chelsea. I'm obsessed with the show "Made In Chelsea", so I wanted to have a shoot inspired by it. This was by far my favorite shoot on the London leg of the trip.

Sorry for the late post! The wifi at my hotel was acting up so I couldn't blog last night. But better late than never, right? Yesterday was so incredible. I was lucky enough to go visit my ancestral land in Edinburgh, Scotland. Scotland is so dark and beautiful. Sadly, we were only in town for about 6 hours, as it was a very last minute trip. I'm just happy I got the opportunity to visit on this trip.

I'll be posting todays look book tonight!
Back to London I go.

Just a really short update post about my day today. This morning, we decided to go visit Neal's Yard for lunch and a bit of shopping. After, we went to Harrods and spent quite a few hours exploring the endless floors of shopping. While we were sitting down for a drinks break, I spotted Calum Hood of 5 Seconds of Summer and freaked out. Sadly, I couldn't get a photo because of security but I had a wonderful day anyways!

We are going to Scotland for the day tomorrow! See you then!

I've been waiting months to come back to London! Finally, today was our first full day back. We kept it casual and walked around Notting Hill, Kensington Gardens, Piccadilly Circus and Soho. It rained a bit this morning which I was quite happy about. But it warmed up a lot during the day and it was lovely. I can't wait to move here next year! Also, did I mention that we had some amazing food? It was delicious.
I'll be blogging our adventures tomorrow as well! So be on the lookout.
