nautical part 1

So I was on Studio 5 on Monday talking about how to wear nautical naturally. Here's the link to watch the segment: Studio 5 - The New Look of Nautical

Here is one of the outfits I talked about. I love this look because its a very natural yet dressed up nautical look. Its so perfect for Summer and the 4th of July coming up. This look incorporated two of the tips I gave on how to wear nautical naturally, think red, white, and blue; and turn to stripes. Stripes are your best friend to achieve a nautical look(more on that in a post coming soon). And another great way to achieve the nautical look is just simply wearing the colors red, white, and blue together or separately. Its an easy way to achieve the look but its also very natural looking so it isn't going to be looking like you tried super hard to look nautical. I like to wear the colors with just having a pop of color, or using one as an accent. In this outfit I used the red wedges as the pop of color, but I still get all three colors in one outfit.

Happy Friday y'all! So happy its the weekend even if I have to work. I got most these pieces in New York, I seriously could have done so much more shopping there. The top is from Mango and I love it because its so easy to style and wear since I feel like the statement does most of the work. And I'm pretty in love with this black chiffon maxi I got at Old Navy for only $20, I can't stop wearing it. I feel like it goes so well with pretty much anything, its a good staple piece to have. Thanks for reading and I hope y'all have an amazing weekend:)

Happy Wednesday y'all!! Any of y'all love soccer and are totally happy the World Cup is going on right now?! I seriously love the World Cup, with my parents being from Spain we are all die hard soccer fans and we love our country's team! Though they didn't get off to the best start today they are going to kill it, so I'm excited to watch the Spain vs. Chile game!! And in other REALLY good news, I finally got a new job working something that actually involves my degree! Some of you may have read on my blog about my whole ordeal about my first job out of college being a total train wreck and how I quit because I wasn't happy. Well for the past 4 months I have been working somewhere that has no future and it really bummed me out. Well I am now working for a clothing company in Utah as their Social Media Marketing Manager! I am so happy and I'm so excited to be doing it and actually working in a career type job! I just feel so blessed, and being patient may be one of the hardest things during rough times but good things will come, I promise! :)

Now to my actual outfit post!! Kimonos have got to be my favorite things right now, and this one in particular is my favorite in my closet! I seriously can't stop wearing it. Its the perfect piece of clothing to wear in the Summer because its so light, it gives so much to an outfit, and you are still able to layer in the Summer! If you don't have a kimono yet y'all need to get yourself one!

Happy Monday y'all! Hopefully this week goes as fast as last! Today's outfit is showing another Ivy + Blu dress. I think this one has to be my favorite to date. The detailing is exquisite. And I love the purple lace. But what I love more is that two different laces are being mixed. I feel like it really makes the dress stand out! It being wedding season, this dress is perfect for all those type of occasions.

Happy Friday y'all!! I feel like this week flew by and I'm so happy about it! The weekends are always so amazing! And if you follow me on instagram (@lcano13) then you know I have been on a juice cleanse the past couple days and today is my last day! I feel great but I am so excited to eat actual food tomorrow haha!

I love today's outfit. I think it is so warm and perfect for Summer. I got these white pants at the Gap Friends and Family Sale so it was a great deal, and I can't stop wearing them. White is perfect for Summer! I paired it with some warm toned pieces. I love this paisley top, its from MANGO. I got it in NYC, I seriously wish I had their shopping here in Utah because I love that store so much. But the tank finally allowed me to wear this favorite necklace of mine from Aldo, I love this necklace so much but I feel like its pretty hard to wear with certain things. Well it goes perfectly with tanks like this so I was happy about it.

Don't forget you still have a couple of days left to enter the Agnes and Dora Giveaway HERE! Thanks for reading and have a great weekend:)
