Summer Outfits Inspo

Hey there! Just thought I'd share some amazing outfits I found looking around on Pinterest. I wanted to aim towards a more minimal style in the future, but after seeing some of these items with patterns or a more edgy touch to them, I might expand my "personal style" and try to create a minimal/boho/edgy type of wardrobe.





¡Hola! Se me ocurrió compartir acá algunos conjuntos que encontré por ahí en Pinterest. Quería enfocarme en conseguir un estilo más minimalista, pero luego de ver algunas prendas con estampados o  con un toque más edgy, puede que expanda mi "estilo personal" e intente crear un guardarropa con varias influencias: minimal/boho/edgy.

I received my first Influenster Vox Box the other day. Also my first time using John Frieda products. They sent me their Smooth Forever - Frizz Ease Collection, which I can't deny, it's a perfect match for my current hair situation.

Facing Your Fears / Enfrentar Tus Miedos



If you had asked me a year ago what I would see myself doing in the nearby future, I would have never said "attending a modelling casting", that's for sure. But over the last months, I have been making changes. Not only on the outside (lighter hair, perfecting my makeup routine and outfits) but also on the inside: mentally progressing towards a more positive state of mind. I finally decided to stop being so hard on myself. And honestly, I feel silly for not doing it before. But I guess I had to go through all the difficult and uncomfortable moments I went through to progress and become who I am today.

I had to know what hitting rock bottom and not liking one single part of myself felt like. I had to look for excuses for everything, especially for why I wasn't capable of doing this or that. I had to look for excuses for not being happy.

Now, I still have a long way to go, but I am really proud of how far I have come. And feeling even more motivated to keep going after I realized that facing my fears and stepping out of my comfort zone is the only way to evolve as a person.



I realized that being afraid for all those years wasn't worth it. Those are years that haven't really helped me progress much, and all because I was afraid to do things I wanted to do. Just for the sake of doing them.

Just like yesterday, I went to this modelling casting for a known clothing brand. I know I won't be disappointed with myself or feel sad if I never here from them again, cause I did it for the sake of doing it. Just to face my fear of being exposed. Of being judged and observed in detail.

And nothing went wrong. In fact I felt so accomplished afterwards that I was shocked. I had been fantasizing of doing something like that for years, years that I spent watching America's Next Top Model and wondering what it would be like to be a part of a similar experience. To expose yourself like that but at the same time be a part of something bigger.

I'm not wanting to be a model. Just wanted to try something I found interesting and that was completely out of my comfort zone. And I did. And nothing went wrong.
