Hello hermosa!
On this occasion I want to tell you about a tool that helps us, fashion people.
Whether you are an Image Consultant, like me, or a personal shopper, stylist, artist, fashion designer, etc.
Find out how to make successful color combinations.
Believe me, I prefer black at all costs, but since I learned to use the Chromatic Circle, my life has changed and that is why I am here to share it with you!
Chromatic Circle
The chromatic circle begins with 12 colors.
Several more colors of them fan out from these, which are actually its variants and have similar temperatures of each one.
Colors can be classified as warm or cold. Warm colors have gold undertones, while cool colors have silver undertones.
An other important thing when it comes to fashion, we must already take into account the skin tones when we think about dressing up.
As basic information, you have to know that if you have a cold skin tone, cold tones colors will stand out best and if your skin is warm, the best for you will be warm tones.
After knowing this, the interesting thing about using the color wheel begins.
Color theory accounts for basic color harmonies: monochromatic, complementary, analogous, and triadic.
Monochromatic Combinations
Monochrome combinations are made up of shades of a single base color.
This color can be of any of the range, not just neutrals like black or white.
Complementary Combinations
Complementary colors are right across from each other on the color wheel.
There are six complementary colors on the wheel.
This type of combination is very common to see in the fashion world, because visually they are very striking.
It is usually a very bright color with one a bit dull or warm and cold.
Analog Combinations
Analogs are three colors that are next to each other in the circle and can be confused with monochromatic combinations.
Almost always one color predominates.
This type of combination is the easiest to apply to outfits.
Triadic Combinations
The triadic color scheme uses three equidistant colors around the color wheel.
They can become very vibrant combinations, such as purple, blue and yellow.
I know that if you think about it, the question may arise as to whether these combos will look good.
That's why I'll leave you these images:
It is important to emphasize that this is only a technique to be able to make color combinations without worrying that the colors do not stay together.
Just remember that fashion is about experimenting, getting out of our comfort zone and having fun!

That is why today I want to give you some options when choosing an evening dress for that special event.
In this way, you will be able to look incredible!
Body Type
The first thing we have to do is identify what type of body we have before choosing our dress.
There are 4 body styles:
Hourglass, rectangle, oval and inverted triangle.
Here is a video if you don't know which one is yours:

Type of Event
Now that you know what your body type is, now we are going to identify what type of event we are going to go to.
Is it a wedding, XV, christening, or another important event?
What time is the event, is it day or afternoon?
Normally when the events are during the day, we can opt for softer and fresher fabrics. And in lighter tones like pastel colors.
But if the event is at night it is better to use more vivid colors or with shiny details.
It can be blue, emerald green, red and even black or navy blue. And also opt for a little thicker fabrics, since the event is at night.
Remember that if it is a wedding, never wear white or very light colors, as it can offend the bride.
But otherwise in a christening the light colors look very nice since it is a very elegant ceremony and during the day.
Also remember that for this type of event, it is important to know what type of event it is: cocktail, gala or black tie?
The 3 most elegant styles when it comes to wearing an evening dress
1. The cocktail is regularly an evening event and you can wear a short dress.
2. Gala is usually a night event and you can opt for a long or mid-calf dress.
3. For a black tie affair you should go for a long, floor-length dress, this is the most elegant when it comes to dressing.
I hope that with these tips you feel ready to choose your next dress for that special event!
I'm sure you're going to look amazing!
Kisses,

3 Skirts that flatter all women body types
3 Skirts that flatter all women body types
Hello Hermosaz!
As you know, all bodies are different and each one has its characteristics that make clothes look different in each one of us.
But, there are some garments that benefit all body types and some of them are skirts!
Which right now in the transition from summer to autumn, is one of the most used garments.

As you know, all bodies are different and each one has its characteristics that make clothes look different in each one of us.
But, there are some garments that benefit all body types and some of them are skirts!
Which right now in the transition from summer to autumn, is one of the most used garments.
1. High waisted
High-waisted skirts reach the waist and that cut is what favors all bodies, as it visually styles the body, adding curve, waist and height.
This type of skirts, you can combine them perfectly with a pair of high boots, they can be over knee or to the knee. Apart from protecting you from the cold, it is a very trendy look and helps you visually in height.
You can play with a monochrome look or make daring combinations, for example: a pink skirt and red boots.
For the top, you can play it safe, using a knitted sweater or an enveloping blouse and a blazer or cardigan.
With blouses I do advise you to look for the one indicated for your body type.
2. Type A
Type A skirt is a cut that favors bodies that have a lot of hips, because it helps to hide and create balance.
And for bodies that lack hips, it helps create that hip illusion.
This type of skirts, you can use them together with ankle boots, tennis shoes and stiletto heels, depending on the situation.
For the top, I advise you not to add so much volume, since skirts of this type tend to give us volume.
A top with volume can make us look a little bigger in body.
3. Midi Skirt
This skirt helps to slim the body, create height and refine the legs.
The fall of this skirt is usually very soft and enveloping.
This skirt has been in trend for a couple of years, since it is very easy to combine with tennis shoes, whether chunky or flat.
It gives you a youthful but chic look, perfect for dinner, to work or to a picnic.
For the top, I recommend playing with textures.
If your skirt is made of silk-like fabric, you can combine it with a cotton t-shirt or blouse with lace.
Remember that these skirts favor us all, so I invite you to try any of these looks, to play and have fun, but above all to feel sure of yourself.
Kisses,
Hermosaz

Here I'll share some of the trends that you can wear and enjoy this summer.
Tops
The tops that are in fashion for this season are the one-shoulder, underwire or cutouts.
These options are very sexy and accentuate the bust a lot.
Solids or Prints
This year we saw many, many swimsuits in solid and bright colors such as orange, yellow or neon.
But we also saw riskier pieces such as mixed prints or fun and summery prints.
Personally, I prefer solid colored swimsuits as they allow you to easily combine.
Strappy
Bikini tops with straps that tie around the waist are very fashionable this season.
As well as the one-pieces with cutouts and bottoms with openings or high straps.
Accessories
On the catwalks we also saw different accessories that you can use to highlight your summer look.
From large headbands or scarves to body chains that give a sexy and different touch to your look.
Cover Ups
Lastly, this year the transparent cover ups attracted a lot of attention, since you can use them in different shades and prints.
Colombian brands, for their part, propose bathrobes style tunics with lantern sleeves or spectacular skirts with lots of color and pleats.
Now you know, you can now look like all the Miami Swim Week models and look just as beautiful and trendy as them.

I'll also share with you 3 brands of swimsuits with Latin roots.
Let's get started!
Long live the color and textures!
Pastel tones and neon colors will be very present.
In general you will find quite a few pieces in solid colors.
As for the prints, they will continue to be led by animal print, but this season with a more minimalist air and you will also see floral prints inspired by the 80's and 90's that will add a touch of freshness to this year's collections.
All these colors and patterns will be in shiny fabrics and “towel” type fabrics and without a doubt rough fabrics are the most present this season.
Brand: Bad Sisters
A bikini that combines much of what we will see this year.
Created by Bad Sisters, a brand made up of two Chilean sisters who draw and paint their designs on fabric.
Discover more of these incredible artists at @bad_sisters.
All kinds of cutouts
The cuts at the waist and under the bust are the protagonists this year.
This type of cut is called "cutout" which show the perfect portion of skin.
These cuts elevate your look and add a super sexy touch to your swimsuits.
Along with this are also present asymmetrical cuts and rectangular necklines.
They all transform your one-piece swimsuit or bikini top into garments that you can wear beyond the beach or pool.
Combine them with jeans and sandals and you have a look for a totally different occasion.
As for the bottoms, we will see the high and dug-out shot predominates.
Taking us back to the 80s style that also helps make your legs look miles away!
Brand: Awamaia Swim
This beautiful Awamaia Swim design from is a perfect example of how the cuts add the perfect touch to this piece.
Awamaia is a brand led by a talented Venezuelan based in Boston who designs and manufactures each garment.

It's all about the details
Small details always make big differences and every year we see how new elements are incorporated.
This 2021 belts, whether in bikini or one-piece swimsuits, will be an essential element.
Also together with the patterns and type of cut, they complement that “retro feels” that some of these garments will give us this summer.
The ruffles that we are seeing from previous years will continue in trend this 2021 and "straps" that are incorporated aim to give it versatility to the way you tie your top and help highlight your beautiful curves.
Brand: Luciérnaga Maison
A classic and timeless design from Firefly Maison.
A brand with French and Salvadoran roots that undoubtedly creates a perfect balance between classics and trends.
Find out more at @luciernaga.maison.
Swimsuits are certainly versatile pieces and it is not necessary to limit their use. You can get creative with all the swimwear trends of the moment.
I invite you to create, to play with your clothes and to consume in a conscious way, every time you buy, take a minute to see the quality, and the different ways in which you can use them.
Being a conscious consumer not only implies buying what you need, but also knowing how the garment was created and how this process impacts our environment.
Finally, invite you to prefer small businesses where you know that each garment is made with a little piece of heart and the hands of someone who loves what they do.
Enjoy these swimsuit trends and enjoy your summer, beautiful!
