Manufactured1987

I have been listening to HAIM all week and of course the new Pharrell album which is incredible (you can listen to the whole album on iTunes radio, totally suggest you to listen to it because I am hooked). 

I honestly don’t remember which event or where I was going when I wore this outfit but I found it in my camera and I thought I should post it!

I have an old Canon EOS Rebel XS camera I got when Circuit City was closing for an extremely cheap price and decided it was time to use it for my style post. 

Outfit: Blouse & embroidered Boots from Forever21, Necklace from BONDHARDWARE, leather pants from H&M.

If you speak Spanish or just want to see my mom talk about me and how much she has been my rock, here is a video from a Spanish morning show called ‘Un Nuevo Dia’! 

These lovely people came to my house and spend the whole morning with me!

What a fantastic fashion week I had! It’s only been two months of this year and already it has to be one of my favorite years I’ve ever had. I couldn’t be more blessed to have such beautiful people around me.

Here is a small recap in photos of how my week went! To see more definitely check out my personal Tumblr page or Instagram. 

RAW EVENT

With all the crazy things that are happening in my life right now I decided that it was time to do the style post. This was moments before going to a event at the American Museum of Natural History curated by for Pharrell Williams.

If he couldn’t get more awesome check this out, he teamed up with G-Star RAW and Bionic Yarn  to launch a eco-friendly denim collection that will help make our oceans cleaner. They will be collecting plastic found in the ocean and converting that plastic into jeans!

Fun fact: people may not know that Spanish is actually my first language and English came into my life in kindergarten. When a Spanish channel like Mundo Fox asked me to do an interview in Spanish, I was super excited! I am so proud to have two Dominican parents and know a language like Spanish.
