Christmas is just around the corner, and I have the habit of always leaving for last the Christmas gifts, not because I don't know what to give them, but because I always have a hard time picking cool gifts that can say how much I love, and appreciate them.
At the same time I have a list of gifts that are universal and safe, for those last minute gifts that we need.

Mixing patterns
Personally, mixing patterns is difficult for me, when I was younger I used to avoid them, but with time I've manage to know a few tricks.
Pattern with Color
You could never go wrong by mixing a pattern with one of the colors that the pattern already has, if you want a sweet and classy look go with the lightest color of the pattern and for a more bold look mix it up with the darkest color. Another colors that look good with any kind of pattern are the neutral tones that we saw in the last post, black, white and the blue of jeans.
Big with Small
When you want to mix two patterns look for the contrast in size. The big patterns look really good with smaller patterns.
Another way of mixing to patterns is by contrasting designs. A flower pattern with a lot of curves and colors can look good with a simpler pattern.
I hope this was helpful for everyone of you, if you have a question please leave a comment below :)

Lots of love

About beauty and a Calm Jar DIY
Sometimes I hear people saying that fashion is only about beauty next to someone replying that fashion is not about beauty, that is about wearing whatever you want and having a personal style.
Well, I do think that fashion is about beauty because don't matter how style you have fashion is about looking good and feeling happy and comfortable in anything you're wearing.
Beauty is what we see in everything, especially in people and I think that in order to let everyone see the beauty that's inside you, you need to follow a couple of rules:

How did I get here?
When I was a little I was interested in what is called "girls stuff", I can't say I was the one who wanted a Nintendo or a pair of Hot Wheels because I didn't, maybe because I had 2 brothers that already have that stuff, no, I was into dolls, puppies, anything pink, tea sets and everything like that, also, like any other children I was not in clothes.
I remember one Christmas that I cried as hard as I could for like an hour or so because my aunt gave to me as a Christmas gift a pair of turtle neck blouses a green and a red one, I was 8 years old, they came the next day telling me that I could gave them back and choose one toy at the department store if I wanted to but my mom didn't let me do it she said that I should apologize and say thank you for the blouses and that they were useful for the winter so I needed them. Of course I hated those blouses for like a year or two, I never wore them until I was 10 and started to get a little sense of style ad started to love them, they were cozy and even thought they had weird colors I used under a lot of shirts and looked pretty...
Ever since I was 10 I like fashion and makeup but it wasn't until I was 13 (and lots of games and books of those subjects) that I got really into it and I became the official stylish and makeup artist of the drama club of middle school, that was awesome and made me spend a lot of cash in makeup (my mom's cash hehe)
Then I got into high school (that's is what I like to call "dead time") Now I'm a 20 year old women that has been thinking about picking those little girl dreams and bring them back to my life again so here I am.
Dresses? I love dresses, the main reason is because, sometimes, I'm lazy and it's super easy to just pick a dress and a pair of neutral shoes (black, white or nude) and be happy, I also love dresses because as I said before I love girly stuff, what is more girly than a dress? a pink dress maybe, with lots of glitter and a puppies pattern haha.
I am also Mexican and my favorite food of my lovely and beautiful country is chilaquiles <3
So this is going to be a space for me to share with you all my thoughts and ideas of trends and fashion and also a place to share my favorite recipes (because cooking is my other passion)
Lots of love.
