sideRACK.

 

Look at that gorgeous jewelry I recently found! Some days ago someone pointed me towards an on-line fashion store called sideRACK, and they had tons of cool stuff including those beauties. Also, I found it cool that the site supports new talents, so all of the pieces they sell are pretty unique :) They even had, between the designers they support, a Mexican designer called Rolando Santana and that made me super proud, because he has really beautiful pieces, and it's always good to see someone from my country making it internationally. I just loved this dresses from him:
 

The white one sort of makes me think of Audrey Hepburn, because of the crispy white and the clean silhouette. And as if selling pieces from fresh new names wasn't enough, they have a vintage section too! And that's were I found this cool leopard print body-con skirt...

It made me sob that it wasn't on my size LOL. Another good thing I noticed about sideRACK, and it was something I've never seen in any other site, was that they had the option of renting some of their pieces, and I sincerely thought that was brilliant! I mean, it's cheaper than buying and once you get tired of that clothing, instead of it ending at the back of your closet, you just send it back. And you don't even have to pay the dry cleaning, they do that when they get the piece back :) So, all of you cool gals should really go and check out this site. In my opinion it gets two thumbs up.

Always stay cool, like a lady

Today I hanged around with a pair of my closest friends, and while we intended to go to a bakery shop called El Puro Cielo ("Pure Heaven"), where the best cookies and brownies of whole Monterrey are sold; we stumbled upon a frozen yogurt store, and since it was really hot, we rather went in there. It was called Orangecup, and it's like a Pink Berry thing, frozen yogurt with fruity toppings, which is great, because since I heard of Pink Berry and tried it in a trip to San Diego, I longed for a store like that in here. Orangecup was actually pretty good so I'm definitely going to be a regular there now. Also I bought a bottle of Chanel's  Mat Lumière foundation. It was so pricey! but totally worthy of every cent. Three weeks ago I noticed I was almost out of foundation so I went in the search of new options because I wanted to switch brands, the old one was way to oily for my skin and didn't have enough coverage for my Cameron-Diaz-bad skin (no offense intended, she's one of my favorite famous people  and I personally ADORE Cameron Diaz, but have you seen a picture of her with no make up? well, I'm like that too, ugh). I had to add on top a layer of Mac powder foundation and it was just too heavy during winter, I don't want to now how would that be in a hot weather. Any way, I went to Chanel just because I saw it first, and after the employee applied some foundation on my face for me to try it I just fell in love with it. It was ultra light and, GOD! my skin looked flawless. After weeks of struggling in my head to spend a part of my next August's summer trip savings on it, I finally grabbed the money and didn't look back. It hurted a bit when I had to pull the money out of my wallet to pay, but it was a good investment. Or at least I think so.
