Naked, among other things.

dress - Studio 615

dress - Lilly Pulitzer from Monkeez

You can see photos from the entire show on the Flikr account for http://www.nakedwithoutus.com/. On an important yet unrelated note, I need to find an extremely large square scarf so I can do THIS to my hair.

party in Peru

Vogue UK March 2008

I love all the colors and prints in this shot. The entire editorial is great. I actually have a good friend that just went back home to Peru a few weeks ago and this makes me miss him even more. I'm really trying to visit him this December when it will be summer over there. When I do, my priority list will be as follows: food, salsa, shop for clothing like the costumes featured in the editorial!

happy earth day!

My dad brought me the bottom two bracelets from Honduras a few years ago. I bought the top three while on vacation in Florida last summer. They're really long and can be twisted and wrapped a million different ways to be worn as necklaces, bracelets, belly jewelery, whatever! Check out http://www.zulugrass.com/.

We also can't forget that today was Earth Day. Montreal-based designer Mulcair makes some great sweaters using organic and sustainable materials. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

Things are much easier when you remain neutral. That goes for clothing, too. I also firmly believe that accessories can make or break an outfit. I tied the belt on to identify my waistline more and to tie in the shoes with the outfit. I actually almost twisted my ankle about five times walking to and from class in those puppies, but I'm going to say it was worth the effort. I found these great khaki denim capris at United Apparel Liquidators in Nashville. They sell second hand designer clothes - Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, Marc Jacobs.. you name it. They also sell new clothes, like these Deebers capris I snagged last summer for under $20.

My. Legs. Are. So. Sore. From. Dancing. ALL WEEKEND.

This weekend was the first ever MTSU Salsa Congress, which I helped organize as part of my MTSU Salsa Club officer duties. I also learned a ton from attending the workshops taught by the amazing instructors including Music City Salsa, Proyecto Barrio and Pasofino. The performances were great and really inspiring. Overall, it was a fun weekend of good food, sexy choreography and lots of spinning. Lots... of spinning. I hope to have pics from the event up soon. And now I have to go to salsa practice. Sorry, legs.

On the brightside, it's beautiful outside and the semester is almost over! My summer plan:

la musica que te prende...

El Colombian Party Cartel!

Last night I had the pleasure of being a "sexy little guest" on the local latin radio station dj'd by friends Carey and Leonardo. Dara, the MTSU Salsa Club President, and I, the Public Relations Officer, stopped by to talk about the 1st ever Salsa Congress this weekend that we're hosting. I got to read some introductions in spanish and some PSAs (en ingles). It was a cool experience! Then Latin Grammy-nominated recording artist Michael Stuart stopped by to talk about his show at Ibiza happening tonight. He was wearing his shades the entire time he was in the studio.. like a true star. He's a really cool guy though and I'm so glad I got to meet him! His website is still in the works, but I'll be looking out for it.

After the show we rushed out of the studio and ate dinner at Cantina Laredo, the gourmet mexican place in the Gulch. It. Was. DELICIOUS. We ordered guacamole as an appetizer and the waiters bring the fresh avacados to your table and make it right in front of you! Amazing. Carey ordered the fajita plate for me and I'm sooo glad he did. It included a mix of grilled chicken, ribs, steak, quail, and.. something else. The best part was definitely the quail. We actually didn't even use the tortillas. I found it was more pleasing to see all of my food while I ate it. Definitely a great night!

P.S. Listen to 91.1 WRVU every Thursday from 5-6pm for awesome salsa music!

Everyone in the studio.

Stud muffin.

The smallest space I've salsa danced in so far.

re-form

(posted from tumblr on April 5, 2010)

Last Saturday I walked in a show for Aria Cavaliere of Parlour Vintage Clothing. The show was called “Re-Form” and was held in Aria’s sister’s new art gallery. There were some interesing pieces, for sure! The art reception started around 6pm with the fashion show starting around 7pm. The fashion show had an old hollywood, glamorous theme. Aria put some great looks together with designer vintage finds. One of my favorite looks was a semi-sheer black Dior body suit with rose pink silk shorts. I also completely love the look I wore consisting of a bra and leather skirt! Hot hot hot!
