Black Flowers & White Spaces



I usually don't have much faith in local retailers that buy clothes from China, L.A. or Miami and then sell them here at extremely high prices. However, my mom and I were looking for a shirt for her in a mall, and we decided to stop by every store we tend to ignore, seeing that Zara didn't do the trick. 

This store, Aïshti, was the last one we went into. They have lots and lots of clothes and just looking through the racks I found this skirt. I loved it right away! I like the color, flowiness and how it's pleated.  So I tried it on (I aaalways try on clothes) and then I bought it ! So now, if I need to buy something I'll take a look in this store again. 


Por lo general no confío mucho en los minoristas locales que compran ropa en China, Los Ángeles o Miami y luego la venden aquí a precios extremadamente altosSin embargo, mi mamá y yo estábamos buscando una camisa para ella en un centro comercial, y decidimos visitar todas las tiendas que tendemos a ignorar, ya que no había nada de nada en Zara. 

Esta tienda, Aïshti, fue la última en la que entramos. Había muchísima ropa y mirando en los racks encontré esta falda. Me encantó de inmediato! Me gustó los colores, el diseño, los pliegues y que es bastante ligera.  Así que me la probé y luego la compré! Ahora, si tengo que comprar algo volveré a visitar esta tienda. 

Nine West booties, Aïshti (local store) skirt

Basically these are two outfits in one hehe. My signature skirt, tights & booties (these are new!) look at the top, and then what I actually wore to go out above. I left with the tights on, and because I wasn't completely convinced with the look I took the tights off in the car hehe, how very glamorous. Also, I really like the flower-like detailing on the sleeves of the shirt, and as is mostly the case for some of my favorite clothes, my mom found it. Which look do you prefer?

Hoy estoy mostrando dos outfits en uno. Mi look clásico de falda, medias y botines (estos son nuevos!) se ven en la parte superior, pero con lo que en realidad salí fue con el look de la última imagen. De hecho, me fui con las medias puestas y todo, pero como no me convencía completamente, me quité las medias en el carro, que poco glamorosa jeje. Por otro lado, me gusta mucho el detalle en las mangas de la camisa, y como es el caso con la mayoría de mi ropa preferida, mi mamá la encontró. Cual look les gustó más?

In my country (Venezuela!!) this 5th of July we celebrate our declaration of independence bicentennial!! So I decided to show some Venezuelan art, painting by Martín Tovar y Tovar one of the first Academic painters in our country. 

Este 5 de julio, en Venezuela, celebramos el bicentenario de la declaración de independencia. Entonces decidí mostrar un poco de arte venezolano, obra de Martín Tovar y Tovar, uno de los primeros artistas académicos.

  15. That skirt is gorgeous! I love the way it drapes. Both looks are great but I prefer with the tights - but your hair in a bun. Switching to a bright pair of booties or a colourful bag would make a statement as well.
