Ringing Bells: Same Dress, Two Looks with Lauren by Ralph Lauren
July 27, 2017

The perfect Bell-Sleeve Dress for summer! Not only is it ideal for a date night, but you can also dress it down for a casual day in the city

Happy Thursday my loves!

You all know that I love feminine ensembles (like this one) as much as those with vibrant hues, and when I was presented with the incredible opportunity to work with Lauren by Ralph Lauren on their summer campaign, well, I just couldn’t wait to share what I picked out (and how I styled it).

Last week, because of Miami Swim Week’s craziness –which entails back-to-back runway shows, PR meet-and-greets and after parties every night– I wanted to dedicate one full day to the hubby. The plan was to… sleep in, have breakfast in bed, visit the newly opened Phillip and Patricia Frost Science Museum, have a late lunch at a nearby café, change outfits for drinks at the Design District and then finish the night with some dancing at Midtown.

I knew it would be cumbersome to drive back home just to change my clothes, not only because of the drive but because men don’t get why we need to do this #TheyDont! That’s when this versatile bell-sleeve dress came to mind. I must be honest though, at first glance, I didn’t think I would be styling it for a casual day around town, but the need for an outfit that would take me from day-to-night motivated me to try it. So take a chance, and wear something you otherwise would not for the occasion. You might like it, like I did!

Hope you’re enjoying your summer, I sure am! Tomorrow we plan to hit the beach, so keep your eyes out for my Instagram Stories. We are considering taking Dante with us, what do you say?

PS: The fit of this dress is a bit loose; I recommend to size down.

Feliz jueves mis amores,

Todos ya saben que soy amante a los outfits femeninos (como este) al igual que aquellos de colores llamativos, así que, cuando me presentaron con la increíble oportunidad de trabajar con Lauren by Ralph Lauren en su campaña de verano, bueno, no podía esperar a compartir lo que elegí (y cómo lo vestí).

La semana pasada, debido a la locura de Miami Swim Week –cual conllevaba espectáculos consecutivos de pasarela, conocer a muchas personas de la farándula y las inacabables fiestas posteriores– quería dedicar un día completo a mi esposo. El plan era… dormir la mañana, disfrutar de un desayuno en cama, visitar el recién inaugurado museo de ciencias Phillip y Patricia Frost, almorzar en una café cercano, cambiar el outfit para tomar unos cuantos cocteles alrededor del Design District y terminar la noche bailando en Midtown.

Yo sabía que sería fastidioso tener que regresar a casa sólo para cambiarme de ropa, no sólo por la manejada, ¡sino porque los hombres no entienden por qué tenemos que cambiarnos! Fue entonces cuando este versátil vestido de manga de campana me vino a la mente. Sin embargo, debo ser honesta, a primera vista, no pensé que lo escogiera para un día casual por la ciudad, pero la necesidad de tener un look que me llevaría de día a la noche me motivó a probarlo. Así que arriésguense, y vistan algo que de lo contrario no lo harían para la ocasión. ¡Tal vez les guste, como a mí!

¡Espero que estén disfrutando de su verano! Mañana tenemos en mente ir la playa, así que, si desean ir con nosotros, estén al tanto de mis Historias de Instagram. Estamos considerando llevar a Dante con nosotros, ¿qué creen?

PS: El vestido queda un poco ancho; recomiendo que escojan una talla más pequeña de lo normal.
