Life Of A Fashion Blogger

Yes, I'm back, and I just had to talk to you again because I love you so much—and who doesn’t love chatting about fashion? While reading an article on the Grazia website about must-have work bags, I came across the Ana Tote Bag from a brand I’d never heard of before called Nuaei. I enjoy discovering new handbag brands to share, just like today. So for my second fashion blog post of the day, I thought I’d talk about my first love—handbags—and perhaps you could consider adding this one to your work bag rotation. One evening, gathered around the dinner table, Māma, our grandmother, began sharing stories of the years she spent weaving in China. It was a craft she had mastered long before any of us were born, one we never knew she possessed. Craft had quietly flowed through our family for generations, and nuãei grew from that night, born from a desire to preserve her story and keep her artistry alive. That craft carried our family all the way to England—her hands, her patience, and the ...

Hello again, fellow fashion lovers! I hope everyone is doing well, had an amazing weekend, and that your work week is off to a great start. I was reading an article when I spotted Meghan Markle wearing a gorgeous pair of stud earrings. What I didn’t realize was that they were from a new jewelry brand I’m currently obsessed with, Logan Hollowell. Since I’m not one to gatekeep the things I’m loving right now, I had to share these earrings in case you’re looking for the perfect pair to wear to your next event or wedding. Logan Hollowell started with the idea that jewelry could be more than just beautiful—it could hold memories, offer protection, express devotion, and capture the energy of moments you never want to forget. Drawing inspiration from nature, sacred symbols, ancient cultures, constellations, totem animals, and the language of stones, each piece is crafted as a talisman meant to rest close to the skin and carry meaning through every stage of life. From humble beginnings in a sm...

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. While browsing their website, I discovered the Exotic Hypnotic Cream Eyeshadow, which I love because it’s perfect for travel if you don’t want to carry a large palette. Beauty lovers, I felt compelled to share this product so you might consider adding it to your makeup routine or bag. Achieve molten eyes with this long-wear, highly pigmented cream-to-powder eyeshadow. Enriched with Sodium Hyaluronate and Vitamins C and E, it delivers a smooth finish perfect for both eyeshadow and eyeliner use. Cruelty-free and vegan, each formula, thoughtfully created by Patricia de León, is packed with consciously chosen ingredients that bring a range of benefits to your look. The pri...

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...

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...

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...
