Lowlights/ombre-ish

Hello fashion nation!

First of all, for those who don't know, I have a serious addiction to Pinterest. 
So if you have an account, follow me [ here ]!



I saw this hairstyle on Pinterest when summer started. In that exact moment, I made the decision of trying this on my hair immediately! Actually, it wasn't until last weekend that I actually did something similar... myself. I guess that when it comes to hair, I'm a risk taker and even when I'm a little afraid of changes, hair makeovers are something that always excites me.

Remember when I did my ombre last year? [ Here ]. 
Well, this time I wanted to do blonder lowlights, with ombre at the ends. That's why I bought the L'ORÉAL Paris Féria Wild Ombre 080, instead of the one I did the last time: 060



I loved the result, but it's normal to have some damage in those bleached areas. I did the coconut oil treatment next day, soaking my hair with it and letting it work for 2-4 hours. If you wash your hair in the mornings, you can put on a shower cap and let sleep through the night for a better result. Here's my final look on Instagram:



My hair looks healthy and shiny now.
What's next? More low/highlights, even lighter.
I'll keep you posted!

Have a lovely weekend!
xx,
Teresa

Santurce Es Ley 5

When it comes to art, fashion is always present.

My neighborhood was celebrating art this weekend: Santurce Es Ley 5. Independent artists from around the world came to San Juan, Puerto Rico to express themselves in our street walls. This was my first time attending and I'll make sure to go back next year. As I said before, fashion was somehow present in this artistic event, not only because fashion is a form of art, but because I saw, literally, vintage clothes rags and painted mannequins in some of the exhibitions.



OOTD:
My outfit was all about feeling comfy, so I grabbed my fave sleeveless t-shirt, paired it with my fave shorts and added my fave side purseFor the hair, no bangs. I did the twist hair crown, only on the sides.



Top and shorts: Forever 21
Sunnies: Gastby
Purse: Stone & Co.
Watch and earrings: Swatch

This one's for the boys: Gillette BODY Review

I've been thinking about incorporating men's trends and tips on my blog for months. So keep in touch style-ish boys, because this is only the beginning!

My boyfriend tried the first razor made for men to shave their body: 
Gillette BODY.








Gillette BODY is a brand new razor, that allows men to face the challenging task of shaving their body with reliability and comfort. Its technologies and features include: 

Rounded head for greater handling and comfort.
3 moisturized strips for exceptional glide.
Slip ergonomic grip for exceptional control, even in the shower.
3 floating knives for a comfortable, close shave in some of the most sensitive parts of the male body. 
Front pivot head that easily adapts to the contours of the body.


His thoughts:
"We always look for a perfect finish and you can achieve that with the new Gillette BODY. It was a pleasant experience and I had no irritation. I highly recommend it."

His personal/cultural blog: En 3ra Persona.


Until next time, Trend-ish boys!
