I wear what I want

Photos by Mariana Campos


I wanted to wear a very relaxed and comfty outfit. It's pretty simple: a versatile shirt, denim shorts, a big boston bag to fit all the things you need to carry and a pair of tall and comfortable wedges to walk a lot (but I still carry a pair of sandals or flats in my bag just in case!) A very chic and simple outfit with pieces I know we all have in our closets, but small details like some studs make all the difference.

Trends

Photos by Mariana Campos


I'm taking a step further and wearing the new trends for the following seasons, I want to invest in some leather/pleather garments as well some laced ones, especially if they're separates because of their versatility. Don't forget the tiger images (on whatever you can find them, t-shirts, jackets, in this case a belt).

I know I have been quite absent from the blog lately, I just hope my bad luck is over.

The night out clutch


Since I'm living in Guadalajara I have been going out at night ocasionally (well, a lot really) and being without a car is something I'm still getting used to. I have concluded that I don't like to carry a lot of stuff at night and this are my essentials to go out. Do you take anything else that you find necessary?

VogueFNO

Photos by Danh Lastra

It's such a shame that I had to go away this latest weekend for patriotic holidays and I couldn't show you my outfit for Vogue Fashion's Night Out Guadalajara.

I was so undecided about what I was going to wear, I asked almost everybody who I knew and also my blog's followers and the majority voted for a black dress. At the end of the day I decided I was going to wear the black one but the weather was a little too cold for me and my throat was going to suffer, so I choose the red one (literally, like 10 seconds before leaving the apartment) because it covered me more and leather is so trendy right now. Red is the best friend of a woman's femininity.

I seriously can't wait to be at Fashion's Night Out, I'm still deciding what I'll be wearing between two outfits but the most important part is to have fun regardless of what you're wearing. If you see me at FNO, please come and say hi!

I'll leave you with this simple, casual and chic outfit.

Night out

Photos by Mariana Campos

Black, white and red, the ageless and strong combination. I feel very inspired by the Fashion's Night Out event that I decided to wear the colors for a party with friends. I'm so excited to go to FNO Guadalajara, I won't miss it for anything even if I still don't know what to wear!

Swallow tattoo

Photo by Danh Lastra

If you follow Fake leather's facebook you may already know that I got my first tattoo a couple of weeks ago. I had it planned it for 3 years but I decided I was going to do it on my last university day (technically I'm still going to the university but my career is practically finished), because of finals stress and other reasons I couldn't get it done until one day before I arrived to Guadalajara.

Swallows hold an universally meaning which is very special (I didn't do it because of Miu Miu or anything like that), a sailor would get a swallow tattoo for every 5000 miles he had sailed and they simbolize good luck to return home. It also represents the unique love, loyalty and freedom, in my case is especially the latest. And no, it didn't hurt :)

____________________________________________________________

Si siguen el facebook de Fake leather seguramente ya saben que me hice mi primer tatuaje hace un par de semanas. Lo tenía planeado desde hace unos 3 años pero decidí que lo haría en mi último día universitario (técnicamente sigo yendo a una universidad pero mi carrera está prácticamente terminada), por cuestiones de estrés y otros factores no me lo pude hacer sino justo un día antes de llegar a Guadalajara. 

Las golondrinas guardan un significado universal muy especial (no me lo tatué por Miu Miu ni nada así), los marineros se tatuaban una por cada 5,000 millas náuticas navegadas y simbolizaban buena suerte para regresar a casa. Representa además el amor único, lealtad y libertad, en mi caso es especialmente lo último. Y no, no me dolió :)
