What do you like about being Latina?

I love it! Latinas are very versatile and colorful with fashion. It does not bother us to show our figure so showing something more is always an option. We can wear winter or summer clothes with the same attitude. We are happy, fun, warm, affectionate, cooperative and winners. I love being Latina.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

I am very reserved and I usually suffer from stage fright, people would be surprised to know this because I am dedicated to modeling and beauty contests where the main requirement is not to be afraid of the public. Well, in my case I am afraid of the public, but every public exhibition I do is done with love and that allows me to control my fear. So do not limit yourself, overcome fears and continue.

What are your favorite colors and outfits that make up most of your closet?

When dressing up my first option are jeans and a basic black or white blouse which saves me immediately in times I scrambling around. When I dress with confidence it takes me more time to choose each garment and combine, my favorite looks are those of winter such as sweaters and booties. And speaking of colors I like them all but the ones I use most are the colors: black, white, gray, blue, vinotinto, beige, magenta, red and green.

What trends are big in your city?

In my city there is tropical and beach climate so the trends here are bathing suits and beachwear. Variety of colors and many accessories that match swimwear such as hats and blouses.

What is your favorite brand/designer? What do you like about that brand?

GUCCI, I definitely love their combinations and sublime style.

Which actresses or models do you believe have the best style?

I'm a fan of Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart and Candice Swanepoel. I think they have perfect style.

Featured Model: Erica Moala

What do you like about being Latina?

Oh man there’s so much to love about being a Latina but the main things would definitely be the diversity and beauty that we carry within our culture the different colors, shapes and sizes, the unity we have among each other, the empowerment we give one another, and the motivation and ambition. I definitely feel that we should not only share this within our culture but definitely share it with the world :).

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

Well lately it’s like I’ve been living in two completely different worlds. I represent plus size women in the modeling industry in America and for some reason it’s very surprising when I break the news that I’ve been married for 10 years and am a mother. The other thing I represent is motherhood so when some family and friends come to find out that am modeling it’s like a shocker not only because I am plus size woman but because am a mother and a person with spiritual faith. It kind of makes me sad to hear how some of this generation is now afraid of commitment and I can understand from personal experiences but it is also nice to see two people supporting each other and in love unconditionally through the good and bad times. Also for my surroundings to be surprised about a plus size women with kids and spiritual beliefs to be in the modeling industry sometimes can be uncomfortable but yet motivating :).

What are your favorite colors and outfits that make up most of your closet?

My favorite color is green why because growing up in community were it was either red or blue aka crips and bloods is why I decided to go with green lol. But I love bright vibrant colors it reminds me so much of my Mexican heritage. My closet used to be made up of a variety of colorful things but now that I’ve been more involved in the modeling industry it’s slowly becoming black, white and denim only because it’s mainly the dress code requirement when I go to castings.

What trends are big in your city?

In my city everyone is different, which is one of the things that I love about it. But if I see something that everyone can relate with and share, it will definitely be denim. I see kids wearing denim, teenagers, young adults and adults, etc... wear denim. You see denim made in different ways from pants, to dresses, jackets, hats and even shoes.

What is your favorite brand/designer? What do you like about that brand?

My favorite brands are the ones that cater to all body types and every type of person, from kids to adults, it just makes things easier for me when I shop lol. But definitely Forever 21, Old Navy and H&M are on my top list for those very reasons I just named. They have definitely improved a lot through the years.

Which actresses or models do you believe have the best style?

Selena was definitely one growing up but nowadays I would have to say curvy model Bree Kish. I just love how she doesn’t follow the crowd and makes her own rules and incorporates her creativity within her wardrobe. I love how she stays true to herself with her retro/vintage Disney vibes. Definitely very inspiring and uplifting

Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what are your goals?

I see myself being an example for others, supporting any girl who aspires to do what I do(blogger), I want to leave good principles and show my personality with no pretension and have people follow me for who I am and my style!

What do you like about being Latina?

The most I love about being Latina is that we are always happy! And we dance for everything!! I think Latinos are the happiest people ever with a great sense of humor.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

People will not believe that I’m kinda shy!! Looks like I’m not! But I am! I’m always nervous before a shoot until I get confident with myself!

White, black, grey and red are my favorite colors! And most outfits in my closet are sporty.

What trends are big in your city?

Bikinis! Here it's always bikini season!

Brianda Carrasco

What do you like about being Latina?

I have always felt defined by my drive and determination in life. That’s who I am and that’s what I am most proud of. I wouldn’t say an ethnicity defines that in a person, I think that comes through your personal experiences and how you choose to react to them. However, I do believe that my upbringing (being raised by a Latina, single mother) has been the root of all of my accomplishments and I am thankful for the morals and values that she has instilled in me.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

I am an adrenaline junkie and I love to travel. I have been skydiving in Portugal, bungee jumping and free falling in Dallas, sky jumping in Vegas, hand gliding in Brazil, amongst a few other things. I love the rush and that's also probably why I love competing and being on stage.

What is your favorite outfit in your closet?

I have never been a girly girl, in fact I grew up with boy cousins so I’m more of a tomboy turned beauty queen. I love dressing up in dresses and heels but I always feel the most comfortable when I’m wearing workout clothes. I'll have to say my joggers are my favorite.

Who is your role model and why?

I don't have a specific role model since we are all humans and no one is perfect. I believe that sometimes looking up to someone puts limitations on your own capabilities. Instead, I believe in being motivated by others to become the best version of yourself. For me that's a variety of athletes, celebrities and people in my personal life. For example, someone who I do have a lot of respect for is Tim Tebow.He stays true to his faith and does so much in his community for kids with special needs, which is also my platform.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what are your goals?

One of my goals is to leave a legacy behind. There are many things I want to accomplish throughout my lifetime but if I fast forward 5 years from now I hope to be a successful, fulfilled and happy person who is still involved in her community, working towards her goals and inspiring others to do the same.

What do you like about being Latina?

Every single time I tell people I’m Puerto Rican. I love it! I think it’s hilarious to see their surprised faces, and its always an opportunity to open the conversation about diversity, especially in the fashion and entertainment industry. People have a stereotype of how Latinos and Puerto Ricans look like, and I enjoy witnessing my contribution to change that. I also love pronouncing my full name in Spanish. It confuses people haha.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

Some people think I am an “only child”, but no. I have an older sister and a younger brother, and they are the most precious thing in my life. Most of my personality and creativity comes from growing up with them. We are SUPER loud and crazy when we are together, and they’re always there when I need them. And, we know all of Jim Carry’s lines on Ace Ventura Pet Detective. lol!

What are your favorite colors and outfits that make up most of your closet?

What, where, how, when, and with who. Those are the questions I ask myself before I get dressed. It all depends on the circumstances, and I have a closet that’s perfect for that. Basic items (pencil skirts, tank tops, blouses, jeans, little-black-dresses) let me mix and match to always create a new outfit. Color palate stays around the cool, darker tones; black is inevitable. Overall, my look is simple, effortless and elegant.

What trends are big in your city?

I’ll say, the trend in New York City is to follow your own style. There’s such beautiful diversity of cultures and lifestyles, everyone expresses themselves in a unique style. Some people like to be comfy and warm, some people embody their lifestyle and beliefs; the majority wears black, and then there’s people who wear bright colors and patterns. It all comes down to knowing yourself and wearing what makes you feel good.

What is your favorite brand/designer? What do you like about that brand?

I am currently infatuated with Rebecca Minkoff shoes. They are so elegant, yet comfortable. I’m also in love with New Vie Shop jewelry; they add a touch of elegance and simplicity to any look. Both perfect for someone who walks around the city every day and wants to look like you thought about your outfit, head to toe.

Which actresses or models do you believe have the best style?

Ashley Graham! She exudes such confidence and happiness. I think it’s sexy! Seeing her change the industry by doing what she loves while empowering women. THAT is a style I want to copy. Emma Watson and Marie Forleo are also women that I admire, not just for what they wear but for what they do and represent.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what are your goals?

My ultimate goal in life is to empower women and young girls to live a confident life without fear. I want to inspire them to take control and action towards their dreams, using tools I had to learn myself, like, mindfulness, creative expression and meditation. Longer term, I see myself having my own established production/consulting/education brand, probably within the fashion and entertainment industry, and then traveling the world as a speaker sharing all of it. In the meantime, in the coming few years, I see myself working with top commercial and high-end brands in print and tv, and making appearances in mainstream media like tv shows, digital series, and movies.

Featured Model: Erica Mendoza

What do you like about being Latina?

I love being Latina because there's so much diversity within our people. When you think of a Latina, there isn't one particular look that comes to mind because we all come in different shapes, colors and accents. That's the beauty of being a Latina.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

People would be surprised to know that I used to practice kickboxing and play soccer. I used to be a total tomboy since I grew up with all boys in my family. That's one of the main reasons why I always stood up for myself when bullies crossed my way.

What are your favorite colors and outfits that make up most of your closet?

I have my closet color coordinated but as I take a look, black seems to take over, even though I love pastel & nude colors. My favorite outfits are a combination of chic and formal casual. I'll wear a beanie with a blazer then throw on some thigh high boots. Just because.

What trends are big in your city?

I attend SFSU, and it seems to me that most of the style trends are going back to the 90's. The styles are urban but with a little 90's flavor to it; chokers, high waisted jeans with high rise and sunflower croptops. Very neat!

What is your favorite brand/designer? What do you like about that brand?

I'm a very simple girl. Since I have a curvy body, it's whatever can fit and look good on me. I shop everywhere so I don't have a specific place where I shop. I do like brands such as BCBG, Guess and Pink. My favorite designer of all times is Carolina Herrera.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what are your goals?

Where do I see myself in five years? I see myself owning multiple businesses, working in a major production company as a director/ screenwriter or owning my own production company, working full time as an actress and possibly thinking of children.

Which actresses or models do you believe have the best style?

My personal favorites are Victoria Beckham, Emma Watson & Jennifer Lopez. They kill it every time.
