ABSTRACTSMILE

Hey guys, NYFW has commenced! This is my 4th season attending. I was a bit hesitant to attend just because I'm in my third trimester. When the opportunity to collab with companies and the chance to be backstage to interview some amazing designers came about, I decided to give it a go. As I'm close to my due date, I want to ensure I find items that I can feel comfortable. With the chilly days approaching us, I was able to snag the perfect fall skirt. It's so soft and the color is the perfect transition to fall. I'll link where I got it, and the perfect part is that I will be able to wear after Lucas comes in November.

As you guys probably know, I'm very minimalist with my wardrobe, but lately I've been trying to vamp my accessory game. I got the opportunity to meet, Noel, founder of the jewelry boutique Noellery. With two locations, one in Hoboken and Downtown Jersey City, you can definitely find one of a kind accessories. I'm happy to say that if you use the code ABSTRACT15, you'll be able to snag 15% off your purchase. As always I hope you get inspired by my style, and remember to add some lipstick and go conquer the world! Xoxo, Abstractsmile

Hey guys! I'm living in dresses as much as possible these days. This dress was one of the many things I was able to get from the Zara sale. This is the perfect transition dress from summer to fall. It's lightweight material is perfect for those summer date nights and as fall approaches you can always throw on one of your favorite layering cover ups (faux leather jacket for me please!) for a meet up with your gals. I've been lucky enough to still fit into my small flowy dresses as I hit the last trimester!

A lot of people ask me how do you do it wearing heels? My answer, find a comfortable chunky heel. My job consists of rushing out of the office to meet with brides and head out to lunch with our corporate accounts, that wearing flats just doesn't cut it. Ensure to invest on something that will feel comfortable for you! There's times that my feet do get swollen, so in your bag always carry some comfy shoes (I always have my flat mules with me if anything!). I got these leather chunky heel mules with a square front cut last year, and they have become an IT girl shoe. I know Steve Madden had them as part of a collection so they are discontinued, but I will tag some that look familiar. As always I hope you get inspired by my style, and remember to add some lipstick and go conquer the world! Xoxo, Abstractsmile

Hey lovely people of the world! I only say this because I do keep track of everyone reading my posts, and god you guys have been amazing with my whole new journey. I'm officially a Jersey City resident, and I'm starting my third trimester. It's a surreal feeling to feel her kick me and it's true they feed in all your emotions. I try not to let my daily life or work stress me out, but we are all human. One thing that has been stressing me out is my body change. Growing up with a lot of body issues and accepting my body figure was hard for me through my teenage years, from eating disorders to surpassing actual bullying for looking different than your typical Latina. As my fiancé likes to remind me, "you're more beautiful than ever, you're carrying our little girl." .. and that truly helps a lot. Since I started my blog, I have always made it about feeling confident in your own style and to love yourself. Now that I'm going to be a mom to a little girl, I want to make sure that she finds her voice, to know that if she doesn't look the same as everyone that it's ok.

To all the new mommies to be, you are all beautiful! We go through all these changes to bring something so remarkable, which is a human being. Below I'll tag where I found this beautiful wrap dress. My closet usually is 95% black, but lately you'll find more blue hues with stripes. As always I hope you get inspired by my style, and remember to add some lipstick and go conquer the world!

Hi babes! Happy 4th of July!!!! I'm counting down to our BIG move to the other side of the river, we are moving to Jersey City. I was able to snag a couple of VIP passes for the Jersey City Festival so we'll be heading out there and explore more of our new neighborhood. I'm 21 weeks going to 22 weeks (half way there!), and I'm looking for flowy dresses to keep this official bump comfy. This off the shoulder dress with pom pom details and flowy sleeves is just a big staple on its own. I paired them with some open toe flat sandals since wearing heels has been a bit impossible lately. I paired them with my favorite dangly earrings, and if you have been following me for awhile you know they're part of a collection I helped style. I love supporting local brands, and I was honored to be their stylist for their first ever website launch. I'll tag their site so you can check out their awesome jewelry. Hope you all have a fun 4th of July! As always I hope you get inspired by my style, and remember to add some lipstick and go conquer the world! xoxo, Abstractsmile
