I’m looking forward to enjoying those hot afternoons alongside the pool while sipping or not a few cocktails.

This Dress Can Dress You From Morning To Evening

Lately, I’ve been searching for a dress for an evening event when I realized that I have a bunch of them in my closet. From cocktail dresses to evening ones and it’s perfectly ok to wear them more than once. Besides many of the clothes we buy that we wear for public events, we end up not taking them out of the closets as often as we’d like. That’s a waste. That made me think how great it would be if we got to style the same frock for different occasions. Here are three different looks using the same dress that will give you the power to go from work to cocktail hour to even brunch. One dress three ways which you can also accessorize with some of these well-priced shoes.

Today is a very exciting and busy day. We are starting to set up the room for the Showcase. As I mentioned before here, I’m participating in the Designer Showcase at the Columbus Museum of Art. You can read all about it and buy your tickets here. Since I don’t have much time, I’m reposting this yummy home originally posted in 2012. Yes, that’s how old this blog is.

Pablo Paniagua and his Studio team designed this beautiful home in Malaga, Spain. They were in charge of almost everything from the architecture to the design and designing of furniture. All done with the very important goal of reaching a harmonious result. I love how the dark colors stand out on the white background. Enjoy!
