OOTN

For today's post I wanted to keep it simple and share an OOTN with you all. I am currently pre writing this post because by the time you read this on Friday I will have moved into my sweet dorm. Which stay tuned because I have a very exciting post where I show you my whole moving process!

Since I am leaving for college I've been spending my summer with friends and family. Which means a ton of one on one time with my mother which I don't mind because we always end up having great days together. Tonight we decided to go out and have a pizza date. My town is very small and lacks variety in restaurants but the only upside to that is that the few italian restaurants we do have are actually great. They are all family owned and the food is delicious, well, you can probably tell from the photo below.

As far as my outfit goes, my grey top is from Romwe.com. They we kind enough to send me this top and I can't even describe how much I love it. The material is great, it's a perfect top to wear this summer and really all year long and it's so trendy. My light washed jeans are from J.crew and my sandals are from Franco Sarto. Oh, let's not forget about my current obsession: my purse. It's from the brand REED and I actually got it at Khol's. You can certainly make this outfit more edgy by substituting the sandals for heels and the light wash denim for dark.

Zaful Swimwear

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I made a post for all of you and I'd like to apologize. Summertime and packing for college got the best of me. However, with that said, I am back and have a TON of new posts coming your way. To start off all my new posts I want to share with you the collab I was able to be a part of this whole summer. 

Now, if you follow me on Instagram you have probably seen most if not more of the pictures below. I was able to partner up with Zaful to wear all new swimsuits all summer long.

Summer is all about having fun in the sun so I am happy I was able to wear a new suit almost every day of my summer. Now unfortunately, summer is coming to an end but that doesn't mean you cant stock up on all the trendy suits for next year! There best part about Zaful is that not only is their site constantly being updated but the prices are soo affordable. 

I highly recommend that you check out http://www.zaful.com and shop all their awesome swimsuits and maybe you can even twin with me! If you do buy any Zaful apparel make sure to tag me in your instagram pictures!

COLOR BLOCKING, yes it's still a trend.

This summer season of 2016 is all about color blocking. Whether you see it in bathing suits, two piece sets or t-shirts it's everywhere. This dress which is from Romwe.com is all about following the summer trend. Not only is it THE most comfortable day dress it's also a great pairing of two colors. The bright orange in the middle causes the dress to pop but the baby pink above and below give a great contrast. Allowing the dress to have a laid back look. I personally have seen a ton of color blocking dresses that you can only wear out at night or for events. This one on the other hand can be worn out during the day to run errands or even for a picnic. I paired the baby doll dress with some espadrille sandals from Franco Sarto.

 In addition, if you wanted to amp up the laid back look I would add a neutral small bag or a colorful woven clutch which would create a more boho look.

If you enjoyed reading this type of post all about fashion and styling let me know in the comments and I will make sure to continue to create these types of posts for you all.

GOVA Swimwear Collaboration

This is a collaboration I was very happy to be a part of because this brand represents something great for me. GOVA Swimwear is a Venezuelan brand, and for my new viewers who don't know, I was born and raised there for part of my childhood. For many of you that don't know sadly this beautiful country fell into a harsh dictatorship and has struggled financially and politically for the past 17 years. Therefore, when I first came in contact with this brand I became very happy to see all the talent that still remains in all the beautiful people of Venezuela. The talent and hope is still there for many who remain living there. That is why it's been a great privilege being able to sponsor and promote this swimwear. 

In this case, it's really more than just the swimwear I'm promoting. It's the talent, hard work and dedication that people have when creating small businesses. With all that said, I hope you all check out their site and see all the different swimwear they offer which has been promoted on many different magazines. Check out their Instagram @GOVASwimwear and their site is linked there are well.

Se trata de una colaboración que me hizo muy feliz por poder ser parte de esta marca porque representa algo grande para mí. La marca GOVA de trajes de baño es una marca venezolana, y para mis nuevos espectadores que no saben, yo nacie y fui criada allí por parte de mi infancia. Para muchos de ustedes que no saben por desgracia este hermoso país cayó en una fea dictadura y ha tenido problemas financieros y políticos durante los últimos 17 años. Por lo tanto, cuando vine por primera vez en contacto con esta marca me sentí muy feliz de ver todo el talento que aún se mantiene en toda las bellas personas de Venezuela. El talento y la esperanza sigue ahí para muchos que permanecen viviendo allí. Es por eso que ha sido un gran privilegio ser capaz de patrocinar y promover este traje de baño.

En este caso, es realmente algo más que el traje de baño que estoy promoviendo. Es el talento, el trabajo duro y la dedicación que las personas tienen al crear pequeñas empresas. Con todo lo dicho, espero que todos les echen un vistazo a su sitio para que vean todos los diferentes trajes de baño que ofrecen que han sido promovidos en muchas revistas diferentes. El registro de su Instagram es @GOVASwimwear y su sitio está vinculado en esa pagina. Es un gran privilegio poder promocionar una compañia venezolana @govaswimwear. Quienes demuestran gran calidad en sus productos y comodidad.

Yale Fashion Show

As I mentioned in my previous post where I share with you all my experience being able to model on TV, I mentioned that I would also be walking for a fashion show. I wanted to put this post together for you all to enjoy and get to see a behind the scenes to what my modeling days look like.

One of the things I loved about this show was that KIKO Milano did our makeup that day. Fun fact, Kim Kardashians says she swears by their makeup removing wipes which are actually very hard to find in the U.S.

Quick info about the dresses I wore:

This dress which was a mix of grays, blues, and greens was designed from Rags Company. The white dress below is designed by Joseph Ribkoff and sold at Idiom Botiques.

I was fortunate enough to also have a photoshoot for both clothing companies as the show went on. All the pictures above are a sneak peek into what the photoshoot looked like taken by a fellow model who took the snaps shown above. I hope you all enjoy these types of posts, once I receive the professional pictures I will make a post including those. Make sure you all follow me on my Instagram @valramm in case I post them on there first.
