Image
Greetings, fellow beauty lovers! I hope you’re all doing great and ready for the best weekend ever. I know what you’re thinking—didn’t I just post a blog update? Yes, I did, but I just had to chat with you again. I’ve been a fan of the Latina-owned beauty brand PDL Cosmetics for a long time and admire what it represents.

On My Beauty Wishlist: Xinu.

Image
Good morning, beauty lovers! It’s Thursday, and I hope everyone is feeling great and gearing up for an amazing weekend ahead. I always wear my favorite perfume, whether I'm heading to church, going out with friends, or just relaxing at home. It makes me feel feminine and boosts my self-confidence. While reading the October issue of Elle Magazine, I came across the Hispanic-owned perfume brand Xinu. I love the entire aesthetic of this brand, and I just had to share it. Xinú (pronounced she-noo, meaning “nose” in the Otomí language) is a luxury Mexican fragrance and botanical design house founded in Mexico City between 2016 and 2017. Created by designer Héctor Esrawe, conceptual designer Ignacio Cadena, and entrepreneur Verónica Peña, the brand aims to honor the rich aromatic plants, native flora, and cultural heritage of the Americas—long tapped for raw materials like copal, vanilla, and tuberose by global perfume houses without giving regional credit. The brand focuses on eco-frien...

On My Fashion Wishlist: Bampo Fulfill Flap Tote.

Image
Hello, fashion lovers, and happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a great day and feeling fabulous. I couldn’t resist reaching out to you again. Over the weekend, I watched a Q2HAN video featuring the Fulfill Flap Tote from a brand I hadn’t heard of before, called BAMPO. I was impressed by the beautiful craftsmanship of the bag and the charming, worn look of the leather. Today, I want to share more about this bag and the brand so you can appreciate the quality of their products and learn how they give back. In 1997, an artist became fascinated by a 6,000-year-old pottery basin at the Banpo site. Decorated with a human face and fish, it came from an ancient matriarchal tribe where art was seamlessly woven into everyday life. The encounter touched him deeply. Art should be part of their lives, he believed — not locked away behind glass. That moment ignited a spark, leading him to create Bampo, named after the place that inspired him. Today, BAMPO carries forward the Banpo tribe’s spi...

On My Fashion Wishlist: Mi Golondrina.

Image
Hello fellow fashion lovers this Tuesday. I hope everyone is doing well, had an amazing weekend, and is enjoying a great start to the work week. I’ve always been drawn to the intricate details in fashion, especially the beautiful touches on clothing. It’s been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. While reading *The United of Fashion* by Vogue, I came across the brand Mi Golondrina and instantly fell in love with their stunning embroidered designs. So today, I wanted to share this brand for my final Hispanic Heritage Month blog post. They work with a variety of artisan communities, such as San Antonino Castillo Velasco, San Vicente Coatlan, Chenalho, Chiapas, San Juan de Chamula, Hidalgo Yalalag, Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec, and San Juan Colorado, among others. Each community has its own unique technique for creating garments—whether it’s weaving on a backstrap loom, hand-pulling thread to make cut-out lace, or embroidering flowers from memory or patterns. These designs are deepl...

On My Fashion Wishlist: Milly Shohona Colorblock Knit Dress.

Image
Happy Wednesday, fashion friends! I hope everyone is doing great and enjoying a wonderful day. I just couldn’t stay away for too long. Milly could dress me any day of the week, and I wouldn’t complain once. I adore the craftsmanship of her fashions, especially her dresses. A few months ago, I was browsing the website and fell in love with the Shohona Colorblock Knit Dress, and I just had to share it. What I love most about this dress is the combination of pink and red, and the length is perfect for brunch, date night, or even church. Made from their signature knit fabric, this body-skimming dress features red and pink panels for a stylish colorblock effect. Its modest midi silhouette makes it versatile for many occasions, while the ribbed collar adds a touch of detail. Crafted from 63% viscose and 37% nylon, the dress is sold out in most sizes except large, and is priced at $495.00. https://www.milly.com/products/shohona-colorblock-knit-dress-pink-multi?utm_source=email&utm_medium=...
