Fashion Geek Runway 2012

I had the chance to attend the Fashion Geek runway organized by the design students of the Ibero, at Classico Polanco to introduce a new concept based on a geek style mixed with a hipster touch. The runway models showed us 4 changes of clothing to those who were at the event. 
The first one was focused on original hand-painted vans, and colorful urban caps contrasted with all black dressed models to highlight this accesories.

The second one was more into graphic shirts.

The third one showed us a more geek style, colored skirts, lace shoes, hats with ears, and icon ray-ban glasses.

At the last one models parade in mexican brand clothing "Mascara de Latex" that comes this season with original graphic t-shirts.

They say smart is the new sexy, what do you think?

Mani Monday

Hi! To welcome this week I will show you how to make white&pink polka dotted nails, hope you enjoy it!

You will need:

-base coat

-pink, white and black nail polish

-reinforcement stickers

-bobby pin

-top coat

Remove nail polish with acetone if you had them painted. File them.

Apply base coat. Let it dry.


Paint all your nails with pink polish.

When nails dry, stick the reinforcement stickers in each of your nails forming a semicircle from the cuticle.

Apply white nail polish at the top of the reinforcement stickers and let it dry.

Take off the stickers. Open the bobby pin to use its tip to make the polka dots with the black nail polish.

And to finish apply top coat.

Super cute and original! Enjoy your Monday :)

D.I.Y: Peter Pan Collar

Hello everyone! Today i´m posting this new idea of doing original stuff by myself (D.I.Y)that you can also make because is so easy and the results are great. The first D.I.Y I´m going to make is the trending Peter Pan Collar. I´ve seen a lot of tutorials of how to do it and most of all are so complicated, so I´m going to try to show you as simple as possible, so lets get started:


You will need: 


-Lace (the one sold at the craft store)
-White thread
-Ribbon that matches the lace color
-Bottons to add detail (opcional)
-Fabric scissors
-Something to produce fire.

The first step is to take the end of your lace and measuring from the back of your neck  to the center giving it about half an inch extra, because we are going to fold some over later.

Fold it in half, and cut it out from the rest.

Fold it again and cut it in half one more time.
Work with each peace at a time. Put them in place, take one end, and pull it to our diagonal. 

Do the same with the other piece taking note that this two parts match and the curve is formed naturally.

Tack the parts we pull out to remain putting one piece on top of the other one, and cut the lace that´s left over.

Add a botton detail on the center.

Cut the ribbon in half and to avoid fray burn the ends.

Sew them to the back of your collar so you can wear it with many different shirts.
And we are finished! A very cute Peter Pan Collar.

How to use it: You can put it in any shirt or sweter that you like, but it looks better if you add it to a plain sweter, gives it a lot of more character and a better highlight.


Hope you guys like this D.I.Y! See you soon!
