Little Black Dress

Black dress fondo 1500 

I love this little black dress :)  I got it in NY during a trip with Bill, before we had Natalie and Diego. How many nice memories come to my mind when I see this little dress! I remember that Bill and I stayed at the Mercer Hotel that time.  Whenever Bill went to work I was free to walk around by myself in Soho. I love Soho so much. We haven't been there together in a loooong time.

Red Jacket

I'm so Happy to be Back!

1500 

 Yay! 

I thought that the rain was never going to stop here in lA. I love the rain so much but it was becoming a little hard to function in this city with so much water everywhere. Now that I'm almost back to normal I wanted to stop by THS and say hi in a sweet mexican embroidered top, black skirt and Fluevog shoes.

Wishing you a bonito dia!

Elsita :)


An Embroidered Garden

1500

Flowers, flowers, flowers, gardens, colors! They never fail to make you happy :) This year I will take better care of our garden. My Dad will help me with it. He has a little routine in Cuba that he has been keeping here in the USA while visiting my brother in Miami. He wakes up and waters the plants and then he does the rest of whatever he plans for the day. His day cannot start up without taking care of the plants. He will be here in LA soon and I am so excited about it!!!!! Dad is already asking about my garden. I predict our garden to improve a lot in the three months that he will spend with us. Yay!!

On the other hand, when I saw this embroidered top for the first time I immediately had to have it. I ADORE clothes with embroidered accents in it. If I had more time I would embroider a lot. There is something special about little stitches. The time that requires to embroider a piece of clothing is what makes it unique.

Cobalt Blue and Mustard Inspiration

Blue dress con fondo 

 

There is something so special about these two colors. Like two people in love enjoying each other :)

When I found this cobalt blue dress I knew that the perfect accent color for it was going to be mustard.

One day I visited the new Good Will store on Beverly Boulevard and I found the perfect mustard shoes...

In the portrait above you can see them together. I think that they were made for each other :)

The headband and white belt were the final touch. (White belt instead of mustard to make it less predictable)

The Color Green, Booties and Ushi:)

 1500 

Green makes me always happy :) That's why I was so excited when I found this green little top @ Anthropologie for sale last year. It's just sooo sweet!

Shoe 

Something else that I found last year were these shoes. I love them for 2 reasons: 

* Because hey look vintage

* And because they were designed by a very special and talented girl that just turned 18 

Ushi 

And whenever I think about green my blossom buddies come to mind :) 

Above you see Ushi, she is one of the characters that I created for my book in 2008.

I wish that I could have a yellow skirt like the one she's wearing :)

So this year I am going to enjoy green in all its expressions, including eating more greens and helping Planet Earth become a greener place.Yay!!
