Beautiful Birthday Oufit!!

                                   
So last sunday was my birthday!, I have to admit that I have always been one of those persons that get all excited about their birthdays. I plan my outfit, makeup, and nails haha. I just love to have a special day where I can dress up just because I want to.

So this year I was really captivated by lace tops and dresses, they are so romantic and very elegant. I decided I wanted to make myself one. I chose a creamy coloured lace and made a fitted bodice with a gathered bottom section,  from the waist down 9". It was a stretchy lace, so the sleeves where very fitted too. 

I kept the oufit casual by adding a pair of really dark denim jeans, at first I wanted to pair it with very pale accesories in pink, but decided to add a pop of bright color in yellow for the shoes and the Aldo "Picketpin" bag in lilac. Pale peach nails, and bright coral lips. Along with gold jewelry. 

So I had a great time and really enjoyed my choice of outfit! 

The final outfit :)!

Modern take on 60's peachy Make-up

Hello!! today I want to talk about make up. 

And if you are not familiar with Lisa Eldridge, she is a very famous british make up artist, that works with magazines, actresses and models. 

Now what I love about the make up in this video is that it is so simple yet it makes you look so fresh, young, and gorgeous!. Now the main focus on this look is the lipstick wich is amazing!!.. It is Obey by Illamasqua, and it is so original and yes! it has got that retro feel I love!. 

It is a soft look that can also work with other bright lipsticks! I would try it with the lovely Saint Germain by Mac, or maybe for fall/winter with a red lipstick. Either way this is a lovely look that works for every day! Hope you like this post. See you soon! 

Technicolor Feel

Technicolor Feel by mic-chic featuring a peplum dress

So today I bring you this collage, featuring actress Doris Day style,  it is inspired again by the 1960's, you will find it is one of my favorite eras, not only in fashion, I think that from the late 50's to the mid 60's, people started to discover new ways for design and for the use of colour and expression, coming up with all those gorgeous  dresses, accesories, lipsticks, and even cars. 


I've noticed that since a couple of years back to now, this trends have started to return very strongly, you can look throught a magazine and notice the hair do's, the make up and clothes, they are very much inspired by this time. 


So I love Doris Day movies from the early 60's they were fun, and simple, and full of this colorful design imagery. 

Above you can see an outfit I put together inspired by her. Simple line dresses, with boat necks and above the knee lenght, all in one color, that would always complimmet her bright coral lipstick. So I paired a nice orangy-red peplum dress with nice light sky blue classic heels, and very simple but elegant accesories. 


Down below, I post a picture of me wearing a dress I made myself, it is not summery, I designed it for last new year's eve, but it was very much inspired by this early 60's simple dresses, made with an emerald green taffeta, and deep green teardrop rhinestones along the boat neckline. Very elegant and nice. 

So hope you liked this post! See you soon! 

Retro Night Out

Hi!! just a quick post, to show you a nice outfit I put together, inspired by the 60s. This is a decade that really attracts me.
The colours they used back then for design, the shapes, and everything about it seems idyllic to me.
I did this collage inspired by one of the "icons" of the 1960s, Priscilla Presley. This is the perfect look for an evening special occasion. The dress has a very classic shape but the pink lace makes it romantic. I paired this dress with black shoes and clutch for a more elegant look. Big hair, a light pink on the nails and lips and very dramatic eyes will complete the look!
See you soon! 
  

Retro Night Out por mic-chic con platform shoes

3 ways summer!

Hello!! Today I am here with another outfit for summer!. 

Lately dresses have been so in, they come in many different colors and patterns, also in many different shapes. This kind of dress with elasticated waist band has been very popular since last year. 

They are very versatile and they can go from day to night with simple arrengements. 

I am giving you three options, one for daytime and the other two for a night out. The dress has a very simple shape,  you could use it on its own, but I love belts and enhancing the waist is always good!

For daytime I would match this dress with an elastic canvas material wide belt paired with canvas wedge pumps. It is very casual yet put together, perfect for any ocassion. 

For nightime I would pair the dress with a skinny belt, either gold or any bright color you like , I chose turquoise. And a pair of bright yellow pumps will look really nice with this look!  

The color is a gorgeous pink that is in between a bubble gum pink and a neon pink. It is one of the most flattering shades of pink, it brightens the complexion, and it screams summer!!. 

The fabric I used is a light chiffon with a jersey material for the lining, and the pattern is one I made based on a basic dress pattern. 

Here is a picture of me wearing it on both day and night versions. 

Still working on the shots! ;)

See you soon!!

Cream Peach & Coral!

Hello! Today I want to talk about nail polish!. Is one of my favourite beauty related things to buy, you can add so much to a look by incorporating a nice color on your nails and also make a statement. Plus you can change it whenever you want!

A colour that is always on trend for spring and summer is coral and various shades in this hue. I personally love brights for summer, but pastels are a nice way of sporting a romantic look, also for those who are in the work place, they are really convenient. 

So I have 4 shades of peach and coral nail polish to show you. I have been on the hunt for this kind of shades, I have to say that I have not found the one I am looking for!. But this are some of my favourites! 

They are China Glaze "Peachy Keen", and "V". Finger Paints in "Original Orange". And one random nail polish from the drugstore.

Peachy Keen and Original Orange are the brightest, I would describe Peachy Keen as a cream neon peach, it is very bright and summery. 
Original Orange is an orange with red undertones, in natural light it looks more of a bright coral. 








V and the light peach one are quite light, and weareable.
V is a nice peach shade with pink undertones which makes it more bright. 
The light cream peach polish is one of my favourites, it is very similar to "Essie's A Crewed Interest" a subdued tone of peach, very creamy and romantic. The kind of colour you could wear to your wedding. 


Here are some individual swatches of each of the nailpolish shades. All in all this are fabulous colors to rock on spring and summer. They go well with any trend that's in for this season. Gotta Love them! 

 See you soon!
