La Pecosa Preciosa

Having Fun for Valentine's Day

Thank you to Catherines for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hi Lovies,

When it comes to Valentine's Day, I am pretty low key. If you didn't know, me and Bae just made 10 yrs together, so we have a lot of V-days under our belts. One thing is for sure, we have always been easy breezy about this day. We feel that acknowledging ones love for each other shouldn't just be showcased on that day.  But honestly with everything that has been going on in the world, definitely take the time to tell the people that matter the most to you that you love them.

Fashion Funk

Hi lovies,

If you follow me on Instagram (which you should be!), then you know that I've totally been in a fashion funk lately. I love fashion but not much out there right now has been inspiring me. I've browse my favorite brand sites and I literally have to force myself to find one or two things that I actually like. I don't know if it's because we are in that in between stage where you're starting to see some spring pieces but it's still very cold and you're not in that mind set yet. Whatever it is, I knew that something had to change because in my book fashion is suppose to always be fun.

Wearing Active Wear for your Lifestyle

Thank you to Catherines for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hi Lovies,

As some of you may know, my lifestyle has changed dramatically since last June. I was laid off from my job of 7yrs which definitely threw me for a loop. But I decided to turn a negative in my life into a positive. This unfortunate event gave me the push I need to go full time influencer and entrepreneur. Obviously I was super scared and didn't know what my future held but I was definitely ready to take on what came with it. One of the changes that came with working from home was my wardrobe. Since I as no longer working in an office environment, that meant I wasn't using my more career wear or dressier clothing. I had to shift to a more casual and comfortable lifestyle, which I was actually happy about. One of the types of clothing I gravitated to for my new lifestyle was Active Wear.  Now I will be brutally honest, I HATE working out! It's just something that I can get down with, it not for me. Not saying that I've never tried it, it's just something I can't get myself to want to do. But I do love active wear because it can be casual but stylish, comfortable but chic all at the same time. Right now all I'm looking for is easy, no none-sense type of clothing that can take me from running errands, to picking up clothes from a consignor for our BHCC sales, to going shopping. Active wear hits all those points for me.

Enjoying the Holidays

Thank you to Catherines for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hi Lovies,

Now that Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping are over, I can start to enjoy the holidays. On the weekends especially are my favorite days to kinda disconnect and do something for myself. I definitely try and head into the city to check out my favorite holiday sites, like the Rockefeller Christmas Tree, Macy's Christmas Windows and Ice Skating at Bryant Park Christmas Village. As a native New Yorker, sometimes you take advantage of all the amazing things to do for the holidays. But I'm super into the holiday spirit this year and want to take a day to enjoy myself. Of course Catherines is always there to help me with that.

Hi Lovies,

We are two days away from one of the biggest shopping days of the entire year! BLACK FRIDAY!  One mistake most people make on this day is not being prepared! And I am here to give you a few tips on what you need to know to survive this day!

Thanksgiving Living Room Slay

Thank you to Catherines for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hi Lovies,

Thanksgiving is three days away and I couldn't be happier! It's definitely one of my favorite holidays, next to Christmas. I'm Latina so we really get down when it comes to the Turkey Day spread. You have to come prepared to eat several servings of food along with a few cups of coquito (Latin Egg Nog). You also want to be wearing clothes that are going to be comfortable once that food belly starts to grow but still look stylish while you're sitting in the living room waiting for the food to be done. Of course Catherines always has me covered in that department.

Everyday Life in my Catherines Universal Denim - Weekend Fun

Thank you to Catherines for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.


Hi Lovies,

When it comes to the weekends I honestly don't want to think too much about what I am going to wear. I like to keep it simple and grab a no brainer type of look. For the Fall denim plays a big part in my wardrobe. Like I mentioned in my two previous post featuring Catherines Universal Jeans, there are many ways to wear these jeans in your everyday. You can dress them up or even wear them for a business casual look. Today I am showing you how to wear them for a weekend fun look.


Everyday Life in my Catherines Universal Denim - Business Casual

Thank you to Catherines for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hi Lovies,

If you told my younger self that I'd be an entrepreneur when I got older I would have never believed you. As you know, me and my partner and blogger bestie Darlene of Suits, Heels and Curves run a business called the Blogger House Curvy Closet. As a business owner, we are constantly thinking of our next move and how we can take our baby to the next level. With that comes planning, strategizing and meeting with people. Since becoming a full time influencer, my daily outfits consist of casual pieces. While I love to be comfortable and casual, I do want a more elevated look when I have meetings regarding the business or my brand. As I mentioned in my previous post about how I incorporate Catherines Universal Jeans in my everyday life by dressing them up. I also use them whenever I want a more business casual look as well.

Hi Lovies,

Going full time as an influencer and entrepreneur has changed the way I dress in a lot of ways. My look has become more of a comfy but casual style. Now that Fall weather has hit, denim will definitely be part of my everyday uniform. We all know finding the right denim jeans can be a challenge. Thankfully Catherines has made that easy with their Universal Denim. I will be sharing a series of posts showing how their Universal Denim works for me in my everyday life.
