What do you like about being Latina?

What don't I love about being Latina. I think the quality that so many Latina's possess is strength. That’s what I love about being Latina, we stay strong and we fight for what we want.

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

I came in such a young age to the United States all by myself with no family looking for a better future. That’s why people usually get surprised, realizing that I’m very independent.


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

I’m always going with neutral colors. I’m really easy going and I won’t let my bad days get to me.

What trends are big in your city?


Since I got here to Houston, the biggest beautiful state. I would say the trend is the mix between Latino and American culture.

Kate Spade, the reason why I like her is that she always comes out with a classy line which is my style, love everything about the brand.

I would say Carolina Silva, she is a model inspiration, not only because she is from my country but the way she expresses herself with her style.

In 5 years I see myself with my own clothing brand and a very successful modeling career.

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

Mainly 2 things. First is, I worked in the automotive industry for 8 years. I was part of the planning and marketing team and I loved it. I have a crush on cars, it is the first thing I look at when I arrive to a new country and I always keep track of what’s new in the car industry. The second thing is that I lived in Seoul and Shanghai for 1 year respectively. First time I went alone was with my previous job (a car company) and for the second time I went with my husband for his work assignment (also in the automotive sector).

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

Manolo Blahnik: How he gets inspired even by the most insignificant thing in nature. I love his shoes, they are feminine yet so powerful

  • Zac Posen: His way to work with fabrics makes it look so easy. The movement and elegance of his dresses are my #wardrobegoals.

  • Carolina Herrera: 2 words, timeless elegance.


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

Lately white and pink, but you’ll find any tone that is vibrant, colorful and vivid.

What trends are big in your city?

Gingham, metallic items such as shoes and bags, flower prints and colorful tassels everywhere.

What is your favorite outfit in your closet?

A basic piece transformed into something totally different when you add a statement piece or accessory.

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

Before I started my blog, I already followed a blogger that has constantly grown during the past years, Chriselle Lim. I do not only love her style and character, but also her smooth transition from a blogger to an entrepreneur. Her work is very professional in each campaign she does, she already leads a big team that creates amazing and original content and all of that achieving a very acceptable work-life balance. I have really learned from her and she has been a motivation to make my content even better. I hope my blog/Youtube channel can lead to that same results.

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

I love boho vibes. Anything thats comfortable and feminine! I LOVE to wear loose-fitting, colorful, flowy dresses. They are just so easy to wear and they give you this chic effortless look and if you are traveling they don't take a lot of space. You will ALWAYS find a leather jacket in my closet. It is such a timeless piece of clothing that will never go out style and can be easily pair with anything in your wardrobe. I also like jean jackets for the same reason, and a good pair of Levis jeans is a must! I love colors!

In Los Angeles, a leather jacket is always a good idea. In Bogota, I would say a pair of Stan Smiths since you walk quite a lot. These two items will go with anything!
