New Vintage Fashion line blog.

I am very excited to share with you my new blog, which is entirely dedicated to my vintage fashion line. I am a graphic and fashion designer and I just started this line out of my love from the fashion from the 20's to the early 60's.
This is one of the first items in my line, it's a beautiful summery cotton dress, with a pleated skirt and a v-neck.

Trend Alert: Nautical fashion!

While surfing the internet, I found a new fashion trend. Some website that I like to check out regulary, are talking about nautical fashion. Wearing anything that looks like you're going away sailing on the weekend seems to the the latest! Navy blue, stripes, white, red, espadrilles, white slim capris, cotton dresses, ruffled skirts. Take a look!

Homemade Mexi-Pizzas

I have to give credit to my sister for this recipe. I think she made it up from things she had in her fridge, and then just perfected it. My husband looooves them and they are pretty satisfying and super easy to make!

You will need:

• Ragu Pizza sauce (or any other brand of your choice)
• Grated mozarella cheese
• Ham or pepperoni
• Flour tortillas

Step 1: Take two flour tortillas and put some grated cheese on one of them. Put another tortilla on top (like a sandwich)co and put it in your toaster oven on high for about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Check them out and take them out of the oven when you feel the tortillas have turned a bit hard and crispy. When the cheese in the middle melts, it'll join the two tortillas together and create a sturdy "pizza crust".

Step 3: Take some sauce with a spoon and spread it on the top of the tortilla, then add the ingredients you want. It can be ham or pepperoni (or any other ingredient, I've used tuna!)

Step 4: Add some more grated cheese and put them back in the toaster oven. Leave them there for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese starts bubbling. Be careful not to burn them!

I like this recipe because you don't use the regular pizza shell which can be quite thick and heavy, this version is much lighter.






Debo darle el crédito a mi hermana, creo que inventó esta receta de cosas que tenía en su refrigerador y luego la perfeccionó. A mi esposo le encantan y son llenadoras, y super fáciles de hacer!

Vas a necesitar:

• Salsa de Pizza Ragú
  
• queso mozarella rayado (puede ser manchego también)
• jamón o pepperoni
• tortillas de harina

Paso 1: Toma dos tortillas de harina. Pon queso rayado en una de ellas y pon otra tortilla encima como un sándwich y mételas al hornito eléctrico por unos 5 minutos.

Paso 2: Sácalas cuando las tortillas estén un poco doradas y crujientes. Cuando el queso se derrite, unirá a las dos tortillas, creando una base firme.

Paso 3: Toma un poco de salsa con una cuchara y esparce la salsa en la tortilla. Añade los ingredientes que quieras. (Puede ser jamón o pepperoni o incluso atún!)

Paso 4: Añade un poco mas de queso y mételas en el hornito eléctrico por unos 10-15 minutos o hasta que el queso empieze a burbujear. Ten cuidado de no quemarlas!

Me gusta esta receta, por que como no se usa la masa tradicional de pizza, es mucho mas ligera.

Perfect French Manicure

I came up with this method 20 years ago (when I was 16, in case you're wondering!) when I wanted to get a perfect french manicure. I noticed that the girls working at salons didn't use anything as a guide to draw the white part, and I'd leave the salon looking at the uneven line on my fingernail, and being the perfectionist that I am, that really bothered me.
I originally used micropore, because it adapts well to the curve of the nail. I know you can buy special decals for this purpose at beauty stores, but I don't think they work as well. They don't adhere well to the nail, so that's why I use this method.

Step 1: Check out the things you'll need. Scissors, micropore or masking tape, white, light-translucent pink and clear nail polish.

Step 2: Take the tape and cut it in piece of about 1 inch long. Then, that same piece, cut it in pieces of about 1/4 inch wide.

Step 3: Take those pieces, and you're going to place them on your nail, shaping the curve as you like it. What I do to make my nails look longer, is make the area that will be white a bit bigger than the actual white part of my nail. Place the tape on every nail.

Step 4: Take your white polish and paint the nail. (Only the parts that will be white) Wait 5 minutes.

Step 5: Take the tape off and you will see that the white area is very well marked and even. Take your pink polish and cover your nails with one coat. Wait 5 minutes.

Step 6: Finish it off with a coat of transparent polish. Voilá! (If you have some polish left on your skin, use a nail file to rub it off.)

The Guy...Edward Norton!

Edward Norton

Ok, ladies. I don't know how many of you will agree with me, but this is one guy that I've had a crush on for a looong time. I don't remember what movie it was, but he was shirtless in it and oh, my. Enough said!

Ok, chicas. No sé cuántas estarán de acuerdo conmigo, pero éste chico me ha gustado desde hace muuuucho tiempo. No recuerdó cual película fue, pero aparecía sin camisa y oh my. No hay más que decir!

My love for vintage fashion.

This post is simply dedicated to the fashion from the past that continues to inspire me today. There is something about the way designers used to make their clients look and feel whether they were famous stars or not. There was such a femininity and glamour, not only in fashion but in every single detail in their everyday lives.
