I really enjoy doing product reviews, outfits, combo-inspirations, fashion tips, nail creations and red carpet reviews... but what I love the most about blogging is writing articles from my point of view. It's been a while since I didn't do an article because these are the hardest to prepare, since I need to do some research.
Have you ever thought of how different is fashion around the world? Every country has their own style depending on weather and culture. Since I started this blog, I've realize how relative fashion is. In Puerto Rico, people dress fresh and comfortable because of the hot weather the entire year. Even though sometimes I want to use more fashionable pieces, like coats and boots, I've come to the conclusion that you just have to take what you have and style it with originality.
I've
heard that some of the most fashion-influential countries are New York,
Japan and Paris. Americans, Asians and
Europeans are segmented there. I've only visited New York (for now), and what I
love the most about the city is that it
is a cultural mix. You can see people from around the world and the
trend setters are not from a specific region. The real trend-setter is
THE CITY. I bet the same happens with Japan and Paris.
Japan Street Style:
Asians: I think that Asians
are REALLY stylish and pay a lot of
attention to trends. Most of them are so radical with their looks that
some people from other countries may not understand them. I actually
think they are just not afraid of trying anything and I admire their
versatility and uniqueness.
Paris Street Style:
Europeans:
Europeans are very fashionable too, but tend to be really classy (red
lips and chic pieces of clothing). You can also see girls wearing high
heels and impeccable make-up a random day at 8:00 a.m. (somebody that
has been to Paris told me that, ha!). Guys are elegant and like to dress in neutral colors.

Americans:
Now, back to my side of the world, people from the USA are
more easy-going with their looks and Latins like to look good and sexy
all the time. As I mentioned before, New York is full of people from
different places, but I think you can differentiate locals, because they
tend to have a signature look: funky and care-free, just like Carrie Bradshaw.
Now tell me about your country...
Where are you from?
How important is fashion there?
Which country would you like to visit just to
experience a completely different style?
