I Want You To Meet Linell Ellis!!

Hey Loves! Hope everyone is doing great lately it seems like my time management is not on my side, I am sorry for being MIA on the blog and I promise I will get better at this.  About month ago through social media I met the lovely Linell Ellis she is a handbag designer based in the east coast she along with her husband decided to take the plunge and do what they both love.  Linell has an eye for picking out gorgeous prints with bold colors.  This purse is buttery soft and it is very spacious, the color is so vibrant this blue color is simply amazing it will add color to all your outfits.  One thing that I love about Linell is her outlook of life this is what drives her to do what she does.  This is what she says: 

The Live Completely motto is centered around living life to its fullest. We should take our time and embrace the experiences and emotions that fill our lives. These are what create memories. True luxury is found in our experiences.

The Turtle logo represents this philosophy. The Turtle moves slowly through life so as to not miss anything. Her life is long and memorable. The shell is her safety and shield. It’s where she goes when things get tough or she needs to rest.

Check out Linell on all social media to get all the latest updates Facebook, Twitter, Instagram

 I wanted the bag to stand out so for this look I went with darker colors to make sure the bag just popped.  The purse that I have here is the Vesta Hobo in Lagoon Blue and I can't get enough of this bag it is just beautiful.

Dress/Traje: Peter Pilotto for Target, Booties/Botines: Madden Girl, Purse/Cartera: Michael Kors via TJ Maxx, Watch/Reloj: Michael Kors, Necklace/Collar: Lola Blue the Closet

This dress is absolutely fabulous! The print and colors are just amazing and a huge plus is that it is super comfy.  The fabric is soft and stretchy, and the length is perfect... I know that I will be able to get a lot of use out of it since it can be dressed up with a pair of heels or booties or you can dress it down with a pair of flats.  I kept everything simple because I wanted the dress to be the focus.  If you follow me on instagram you know that a couple weeks ago I was at TJ Maxx trying to decide which purse I wanted to buy and as you can see by the pictures I decided on the all blue Michael Kors bag which is beyond fabulous!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Este vestido es absolutamente fabuloso! El estampado y los colores son simplemente increíble y una gran ventaja es que es súper cómodo. La tela es suave y tiene un poco elásticidad, y lo largo es perfecto... Sé que le voy a dar un buen uso a este traje, ya que con un par de tacones o botines puedes lucir elegante o si se pone un par de flats puedes lucir mas casual, mantuve todo simple porque quería que el vestido fuera el foco.  Si me sigues en instagram saben que hace un par de semanas atras estuve en TJ Maxx tratando de decidir qué cartera que quería comprar y como se pueden ver por las fotos que me decidí por la cartera azul de Michael Kors y simplemente es fabulosa!

Rocker Chick With Peter Pilotto!!

 Hey Loves! Sorry about this late post... I went to the gym yesterday and I didn't get a chance to do the post afterwards.  I have to get a better plan for Monday's post.  So this is another Peter Pilotto outfit post, I wore this to work last week and I must say I am loving this shirt the colors and patterns are just fabulous.  What I also love is that the shirt can be dressed up or down and as an added bonus this shirt is super soft.  I wanted to go for a rocker chick feel so I paired my fab shirt with my track pants added studded and nothing screams rocker like a leather jacket.  What do you think? How would you style this shirt?

Styling Peter Pilotto!

So by now you have heard of the Peter Pilotto line for Target I fell in love instantly with his collection.  All the colors and patterns just draws you in, so I wrote the date down in my planner because this was something that I did not want to miss out. Needless to say when the day came I completely forgot about!! thankfully I saw a post on Instagram and went right to my laptop and was able to purchase a few items (with the exception of the romper and color block blazer that I really wanted) but I couldn't wait to get them in the mail so I went to my local target with the hope of finding the Blazer and romper and instead I kinda duplicated some items that I already bought online because like I said I just couldn't wait.   I am wearing the sweater which I LOVE!!! it is so comfy and warm I paired it with my faux leather pants and metallic heels to finish off the look.  Did you score any pieces from the Peter Pilotto line?
