“Modern and clean” was my first though, when I first looked at Ralph Lauren’s Manhattan apartment featured in October’s Elle Decor.
Angelo Donghia was commissioned to designed the Fifth Avenue duplex, and the result is a modern open space, chic and with simple lines. Love it!

Vera Wang spring collection took the designer “out of her comfort zone”. The show was filled with volume pieces, draping, and elaborate constructions. I think Vera reinvents her fashion vision all the time and this presentation was a different step for the fashion designer.
It is refreshing to see designers take risks. And Vera is certainly one of them. Always reinventing her fashion vision and presenting new and creative proposals.

La colección de primavera 2011 de Vera Wang la llevo “fuera de su zona de confort”. La colección llena de piezas con volumen, drapeados y elaboradas construcciones, fue un paso diferente para la diseñadora de moda.
Creo que es refrescante cuando los diseñadores toman nuevos riesgos, Vera es uno de ellos, reinventado su visión sobre la moda y presentando nuevas y creativas propuestas.

Yesterday I went to have dinner at my friends Cucú’s house here in Miami. I love her home, because it really exemplifies what Miami is all about. Her house decor is fun, creative and innovative. It has tons of color and a wonderful mix of pieces that she has bought all over the world. I remember looking at the amazing house of Doug Meyer, featured in June’s 2009 Metropolitan Home , the pictures reminded me a lot of the style and feeling of Cucu’s house. Just beautiful and colorful!

Love the mixture of color.



Mojitos anyone …?





Ayer fuí a una cena en casa de mi amiga Cucu aquí en Miami. Me encanta su casa, porque verdaderamente personifica lo que es Miami. Su decoración es divertida, creativa y casual. Tiene cantidad de color y una mezcla de piezas que ha ido comprando alrededor del mundo. Me acorde de haber visto la increíble casa del diseñador Doug Meyer,publicada en Metropolitan Home en Junio del 2009, las fotos me acordaron mucho al estilo y ambiente de la casa de Cucu. Bellísimo y colorido !

Gwyneth Paltrow has always been a fashion style setter. She is sexy, sophisticated and with an elegant “edge” at the same time. She has gained the respect of the fashion industry by wearing fashion forward pieces and proving that her style sense is unique.
I personally think she always looks great as she always knows how to balance a look. There is never too much or too little. She is true to her style.
These are some of my favorite looks that she has worn over the last few years.

I have always loved the idea of using an ottoman as a coffee table. It is practical and looks great.
I am trying to decide if I want something simple and classic, or take the risk with something more contemporary.
Doing a little research I found some great ideas. Here they are.














Siempre me ha encantado la idea de usar un ottoman como mesa de centro. Es practico y se ve increíble.
Todavía no he decidido que estilo es el correcto. He estado tratando de descifrar si quiero algo mas simple y clásico, o tomar el riesgo con algo mas contemporáneo.
Investigando un poco encontré unas ideas, y escogí algunas fotos para ponerlas en el blog. Yo creo que estoy lista para decidirme!

Because of its huge cult following the book Take Ivy is beign re-issued this month. In the early 60’s Kensuke Ischizu, the founder of a preppy clothing line in Japan, commissioned Japanese photographer Hayashida to visiti the eight Ivy League colleges, the mission: to capture every element of the clean-cut chic preppy style. The book was a huge success and the preppy style became quite a phenomenon among japonese young set.
In the last decades, the book had a huge following. Often called the preppy handbook, its rare editions sold top dollar on ebay. The english translation will be available this month and J.Crew will be selling 300 limited edition copies to be sold at selected J.Crew’s mens shops.
With the influence of TV shows and ad campaigns, the preppy style is making a strong comeback, and I can’t wait !!







• the new look of preppy •


Por su gran culto de seguidores el libro “Take Ivy” sera vuelto a publicar este mes. A comienzo de los años 60 Kensuke Ischizu, el fundador de una linea de ropa preppy en Japón, comisionó el fotografo Hayashida a que visitara a las ocho mejores universidades estadounidenses, la misión: capturar cada elemento del estilo limpio y clásico que llaman “preppy style”. El libro se convirtió en un gran éxito, y el estilo preppy se convirtió en un fenómeno entre los jóvenes del momento.
En la última decada el libro a tenido cantidad de seguidores. A menudo llamado el manual preppy, sus escasas ediciones se vendían costosísimas en ebay. La traducción al Ingles saldrá este mes de Agosto y la tienda J.Crew venderá 300 ediciones limitadas en algunas de sus tiendas para hombres.
Con la influencia de diferentes shows de televisión y campañas publicitarias, el estilo preppy esta retornando con fuerza, me encanta!
