Nautical Waves under the Sun

These are some photos from my "nautical" inspired outfit I wore last Saturday after having an amazing lunch at A Market, right on Newport Bay. Tomato, mozarella and pesto sandwich, say what? Absolute deliciousness! Moreover, weather was just perfect so I even got to go to the pool later to lay out and tan!

P.S. This was the first time I used my new Coach purse which I absolutely love! Matches so many of my outfits that I now often struggle to try to choose another purse so I don't wear it so frequently haha.

Black&White

On Friday, after a long week, I went out with my friends for a delicious sushi dinner. Afterwards we went out to my friend's party which was a great time, just hanging out and having some fun.

The photos below are from the outfit I wore that night. Weather was rather warm and it was nice to finally wear a skirt. It was also the first time I wore my tuxedo-like vest which I had bought a few weeks ago but hadn't had a chance to wear. I'd say I'm a big fan of it and it was a good buy!

El viernes, luego de una larga semana, salí a cenar delicioso sushi con mis amigos. Luego de la cena nos dirigimos a la fiesta de uno de amigos, fue una muy buena y divertida noche.


Estas fotos son de mi outfit de esa noche. El clima estaba lo suficientemente fresco para vestir una falda. También fue la primera vez que use mi nuevo chaleco el cual he comprado hace unas pocas semanas pero no había tenido chance de estrenarlo. Debo decir que es ahora uno de mis favoritos!

Una Notte in Newport Beach

On Monday I accompanied my boyfriend and his family to the exclusive Zagato unveiling event "Una Notte" at the Aston Martin dealership in Newport Beach. It was the perfect event since he loves cars and I love fashion and they managed to include both!

The event was Italian themed with delicious wine and hors d' ourves. The car was amazing but even more exciting was a fashion presentation from design house Emilio Pucci! They had the tallest models walking around with amazing colorful dresses with beautiful patterns from their 2012 Spring/Summer collection!

 

 

  

In love with the dress in the middle, what a beautiful pattern!

Golden Seaside

Just got back yesterday from a wonderful trip driving with a group of classic sports cars through the back roads of central California for the Targa 2012. Such an adventure! To top my enjoyment my boyfriend and I made a stop by Carmel by-the-sea, a gorgeous quaint town where I was able to shoot the outfit photos below and also do some shopping. Overall a great experience! Although I would've appreciate some more sun yesterday instead of the few hours of pouring rain haha. Hence why I'm dressed as warm as I could possibly be with the clothes I had packed :).

P.S. These photos were taken with the new portrait lens I mentioned on my last post. Very happy with it!

H&M Purse

Couldn't resist getting this! Absolutely love the bright colors!

I have my own road! ;)

In addition to the handkerchief shown above I also purchased a purse which I'm absolutely in love with and can't wait to feature it on the blog soon!

Have an amazing Sunday!

Introducing my new lens!

Finally saved up enough to order a new lens for my Sony a33! I ordered the 50mm F/1.8 lens and received it the same week I had my accident, so I haven't had a chance to use it much. I have heard such good reviews about it being a wonderful portrait lens when you are on a budget, especially if you are looking to get that nice blurry background on your blog photos (Bokeh effect). I ordered mine from Amazon and the price is about $150, which is relatively cheap compared to all the other really expensive portrait lenses out there!

Up until now I am satisfied with it and I will post a few photos I took this weekend as soon as possible so you can see the result! I think the full-body photos will come out really nice, which is what I'm most interested in for shooting my daily looks.

Keep an eye for my next post!

Ciao,
