What do you like about being Latina?

There’s something about being Latina that puts a little pep in my step. Whether it be the salsa music that makes my feet move on their own, or the long days before a fiesta preparing food for 100 family guests with mami, or just knowing that my culture is so full of traditions and beautiful hard-working people. These are the reasons why it always prides me to say I am Latina.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?
As a little girl I developed a love for singing and dancing and always imagined myself as the next Selena! I ended up pursuing music in college where I studied Vocal Performance with a focus in Opera. Currently I sing locally in bands or with my best friend Noe on the guitar.


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

I embrace my tan skin by wearing bright colors that make it glow, so orange and yellow are a must in my closet! I also keep enough classic black and white pieces to pair with my fun pieces! Crop and off the shoulder tops are also a must. Crop tops because of my short torso and off the shoulder is just the right amount of flirty.

What trends are big in your city?

Austin is the music capital of the world so it’s music festival season all year long! We are known for our hippie vibes and for our “Keep Austin Weird” motto so that should paint a picture for you :). Because we are such a diverse city, you will find a little bit of everything here.

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

Currently I’m obsessed with Zara. I just love their timeless pieces and their unique style. I know I can shop for everything, from clothes for work to what to wear for a girls night out! I love the daring European style.

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

Jennifer Lopez is my spirit animal. I hope I age as gracefully as she has, I mean she's killing it with her style, music, and body #goals! Alejandra Espinoza is my other favorite, not just because of her great style but because she's come so far after winning the first season of Nuestra Belleza Latina on Univision and has become an inspiration for all young Latina women.

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

In 5 years I want to reach my financial goals to be able to travel more frequently and really submerge myself into different cultures. I find it fascinating to see how other cultures live. I also want to learn a third language, buy a home, maybe get back into the music industry, and have my foot well in the fashion styling world. Through my blog I want to be able to empower other Latina's to take risks and to follow their dreams!

What do you like about being Latina?

I like our culture because of our way of seeing life, our desire to undertake new projects and our willpower. And in the aspect of being a blogger without a doubt our desire and enthusiasm to try fashion and makeup trends.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?
 They would be surprised by my passion for reading, particularly historical novels and also how I like to dance while I try on and combine clothes, it's a whole game for me.


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

My favorite colors to wear depends on the time of year. In winter undoubtedly navy blue and brown and in spring/summer bright colors; but I also have loved white, pink and yellow for a while now! In my wardrobe, there is no shortage of colorful and basic garments to combine all year round.

What trends are big in your city?

This spring/summer my city is trending with a lot of yellow and polka dot prints in many different colors. Also lace bodysuits, midi skirts, palazzo pants and colorful clothes that can give versatility to looks.

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

I do not have a favorite designer because what I usually like is the garment. It can be expensive or low cost. I think combining styles is fun and you do not find everything from a single brand or designer. I do really like Zara's clothes, they have everything on trend and new things are always coming in. The stores that I like to dress more from are Zara and Mango. Although Guess also goes a lot with my style!

The models that I find very elegant are Miranda Kerr, former Victoria's Secret angel Karlie Kloss and Gisele Bündchen. They are elegant but at the same time always on trend; They have class and they know how to combine perfectly.

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

5 years from now I see myself improving and would like to reach a wider audience, reach other brands and be able to teach different styles and places. Always enjoying and engaging with my followers. I hope that in that time; more brands trust me and I can expand my goals little by little. Who knows; maybe get to create ...

What do you like about being Latina?

What I like about being a Latina is that we are hard working and entrepreneurs. We do not like to sit idly by, we are always in action. I love being Latina because we have that tumbao and flavor that characterizes us.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?
I think that people would be surprised to find out that I designed and developed my designs and clothes since I was 14 years old.


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

My favorite color is white and yellow although I don't think I use them as much, because I like to look different so I end up using all the colors that exist. But without a doubt my wardrobe can not miss a set of flowers, baggy shorts, and fresh short dresses (I love them).

What trends are big in your city?

I am from a city with a slightly warm climate therefore the trends in my city are usually very cool and consist of comfortable clothes such as dresses, shorts, sweaters and jeans.

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

My favorite designer is Jeremy Scott, I feel identified with him since I was born in a small farmer and agricultural town like him. His unique style led him to be the creative director of my favorite brand Moschino. His unique designs have shown that common is boring.

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

My favorite model is @Belle_lucia and my favorite actress is Rachel McAdams. She has a beautiful and very avant-garde style and at the same time classic, I love that type of style.

What do you like about being Latina?

I love EVERYTHING about being Latina! Anytime anyone asks me what my background is and I tell them Puerto Rico I say it with such confidence because I am just so proud of where I come from. Latina women are known to be strong and to have a little extra sazón and I just love having that fire inside of me and representing such a diverse group of women. We have curves, we don't have curves, we have brown hair, brown eyes, we have blonde hair, blue eyes - Latina women can all literally look so different and it's a beautiful thing.

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

Aside from my friends, a lot of people don't know that I like to write and I have my own blog which is influenced by Hip-Hop/R&B music and street wear. I've gotten comments on some of my posts where people actually think it's a guy writing and I think it's so funny.


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

My favorite color is red but the majority of my closet is black. I keep it very simple when it comes to my style but I do like to add pops of color wherever I can.

What trends are big in your city?

In New York City, BLACK is a timeless trend - it's easy yet sophisticated, you can never go wrong with an all black outfit. You do have people who step out of the box and dress funky but more times than none I would say people like to be comfortable in the city.

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

My favorite brand is Balmain, it's both sexy and edgy.

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

Wow, no matter how many times I'm asked that question it always stops me in my tracks. In 5 years I see myself with a family preferably back home in Puerto Rico, happy and doing everything I love. I like to think of myself as a "jack of all trades," I don't like to do just one thing. I would love to continue to model when I can, to write, to really have a successful website, to do brand consulting...but more than that, I just want God to use me as inspiration for others. Following your dreams is not always easy but with the right attitude and the right people behind you, anything is possible.

What do you like about being Latina?

Being a Latina not only means being someone that was born in a Latin American country. It means so much more. To me, being a Latina means that no matter where you were born you have been raised to be strong and have learned that hard work pays off, if only you put your mind to it. It means that your color skin doesn't define you and that you will never be alone because you will always have your family behind you. Being a Latina means that you will develop the best palate in the world because you trained your mouth to experience the best food and not only in one language. Nevertheless being a Latina means rhythm as with any music it will have you shaking to your toes. Being a Latina means being strong, confident, kind and beautiful.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?
 One thing that most people don't know is that I used to (still do once in a while) belly dance. I grew up being a dancer, from jazz to ballet to contemporary to folklore. But the one dance that stayed with me forever was belly dancing. There is something about the music and the culture that attracts me so much, and that's not the only reason I like it, it's also a great way to get fit and get your workout done in a fun way.


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

I love light colors, from whites to nudes but also the classic black. I am also not afraid to use colors depending on the occasion. I would classify my style as sophisticated-romantic or classic-chic. I love to try new trends, and I love to accessorize with statement pieces if the garment needs it. When shopping I always try to look for stylish pieces that are striking and smart and will favor my figure.

What trends are big in your city?

In Dallas, you can get the best of both worlds. And if you are country at heart, this is the city for you, from boots to cowboy hats you find the best selection here in the heart of Texas. But don't let me just emphasize western fashion only. In Dallas, you can be a boss babe as it is a mecca of corporate headquarters with companies such as J.C. Penney and Neiman Marcus, but also it's the host to many more shopping venues where you can find brands such as Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Rolex, etc. Lastly, Dallas is a melting pot, where cultures have so much influence in our everyday trends, so finding your style, is just a matter of finding who you are and what you like, as the city will provide it for you.

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

I am a Chanel girl. From the beginnings of the brand with Coco Chanel til now, being in the hands of Karl Lagerfeld the brand has revolutionized as the years pass but has kept the iconic and classic style that everybody loves. To me, Chanel means sophistication and class, and the craftsmanship is seriously one of the most detailed in the fashion industry. Not only that but every single piece is unique, and I love the fact that can be passed on through generations, just like the brand itself. Lastly, I am very intrigued by the way Karl Lagerfeld has introduced Chanel to the modern day "IT" girl. Who would have thought that this iconic brand would end up as a must-have piece for street style fashion?

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

For this question, I can't just choose a model, or a designer or an actress that have the best style. I idolize and love so many amazing women that have shaped the way I see fashion. From iconic legends such as Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Marilyn Monroe. To modern showstoppers such like Kate Middleton (Duchess of Cambridge), the Hadid sisters (Gigi and Bella), Zendaya, Rihanna, Angelina Jolie, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Salma Hayek, Gal Gadot, and Olivia Palermo. Every single one of these women has such an unusual and unique fashion sense that have put them on the map as the most fashionable icons in the world.

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

Currently, I work as a bilingual social media manager for a company in Dallas, TX and I run a beauty, lifestyle and travel blog called thedailysash.com where I share my everyday experiences with young women who have the same likes and struggles as me. I plan on keep moving forward with my passion for social media and search engine optimization. I believe that the power of social media and e-commerce is taking the world by storm and if people learn to use it properly, it can become a giant asset which we need to take advantage of. Hopefully, I can turn my passion into a business in the near future where I can expand my blog into a place where people can come and find a community, especially young Latinas.

The big trend right now is hoops, Gucci belts, Gucci pocket purses, high waisted jeans, and beach waves. In regards to makeup, eyebrows are really in and so is contouring the face

What do you like about being Latina?

I love how rich and vibrant my culture is. I'm very proud of being morena, I love to wear bright colors and how they look against my skin tone. I love that being a Latina means having a wider view of the world through the many nationalities that make up our community and sharing the same beautiful Spanish language. Shout out to my fellow Mexicans!

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?
 My husband and I own a Sign business, and to the surprise of many I am quite the handy woman! I'm often climbing ladders, doing electrical work inside crevices and driving our bucket truck. I'm also quite savvy using power tools; I can find you any drill bit and properly attach it to the drill within seconds! You can catch me wearing work boots and a ponytail on my Snapchat (mystyleboxx)!


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

I would describe my closet as an organized mess, simply because I buy what I like without rhyme or reason. You can find a torn up band tee hung right next to a Blair Waldorf inspired pleaded skirt. Most of my favorite pieces don't follow one particular style; rather they represent very different aspects of my personality. However like most I'm a sucker for a good ol' all black look!

What trends are big in your city?

Albuquerque is very driven by its culture. On any given day you can find someone rocking turquoise jewelry and sandals! The mixture of Hispanic and Native American influences makes for unique southwestern trends that manifest themselves to the young and mature. From fringes to pom poms everyone expresses themselves through their own style and that’s one of the many reasons why I love my city!

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

Some of my favorite stores to shop are the usual suspects, Forever21, Express, Rue21, etc. And I dabble on some online shopping from Fashion Nova, Boohoo and Lolashoetique. However you will often find me looking though the racks at Marshall's and Tj maxx because above and beyond brands I'm most drawn to purchasing trendy beautiful items that won't break the bank.

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

I love Vanessa Hudgens! She has an eccentric earthy boho chic look about her that inspires me. Her unique style, although not similar to mine, is truly one of my favorites, as she expresses her true self in a way that makes me aspire to do the same. I am most obsessed with the elegance and simplicity that Alejandra Espinoza (Mexican model) radiates through her effortless style! I can always count on her outfits to give me some #ootd ideas of my own!

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

I see my self growing, in every single aspect of life. Growing as a human, learning more about other cultures, respecting others’ views, being more woke, expanding my knowledge, growing financially, becoming a better wife, daughter, sister and friend, traveling and falling in love with every place I visit. I see me loving myself more and accepting myself more. I strive to be a better version of myself everyday. My goals are endless, but above all I want to be able to inspire others through my makeup, style, and most importantly my personality! I want to keep on living my best life!
