Hello!
This outfit mixes 2 colors that will never be out-fashioned: Black & White! You can play with both of them adding a touch of color or a pair of shiny metallic sunnies (specially this season)
Black & White will never fail! they look good in any type of skin and can be worn any season.
Be sure to have pretty pieces of these colors in your closet

RECIPE! 

CUPCAKES:

• 1 cup shortening
• 1 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 1/4 cup cake flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs (*3 eggs*)
• 1 cup (*plus 2 tablespoons*) buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon (*3/4 teaspoon*) baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 ounce red food color
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder 

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

• 1 1/2 packages cream cheese (12 ounces)
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 pounds powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (*375 degrees for high altitude*). 
2. In your mixing bowl cream together the shortening and sugar. In a large liquid measuring cup, combine the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, baking soda, vinegar, and salt. Add the flour into the mixing bowl in three additions, alternating with the wet ingredients. Start and end with the flour. Once combined, stir together the red food color and cocoa powder in a small bowl. Add into the batter and mix just until incorporated.  
3. Divide the batter into muffin tins with liners, filling each with about 1/4 cup of batter. Bake for 15-17 minutes (*12-15 minutes*) or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for a few minutes and then remove from the pan to cool completely.  
4. While the cupcakes are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting. In your mixing bowl fitted with the paddle, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla and salt and mix until incorporated. Add the powdered sugar in three additions and mix until smooth.

Hey!

This week's post is one of my favorites so far because I am crazy for this color (coral/salmon)and the ZARA shoes!! they create great outfits, even if you wear them with a LBD they will look amazing and make it look summer-like and colorful. Also, this outfit shows another BASIC: The Trench.
You can wear your trench during the summer for those chilly rainy afternoons, because even if the summer is suppose to be warm, it is also the rainy season. A trench is the perfect option because it is light and you can match it with everything! (that's why is a basic).
My advice for this week, show any color heels you have and mix them with a neutral outfit (black,white,beige,cream...)they will make heads turn, I promise! and don't forget your trench if you live in a city where weather is crazy and might rain or get chilly in the afternoon.
Lots of Love

Hey!
This week I would like to share my love for the H&M conscious collection. There is nothing I appreciate more than brands taking care of the environment, so when I heard about this collection, I just had to have it! Like you know, the "Go Green" trend is getting bigger and bigger so of course the fashion industry is not getting behind with it and I think we should embrace it!
We need to take care of our planet and give a little back to mother nature every time we can, so, my advice: If you see a conscious collection, do buy it instead of the regular collection! (your children will thank you one day).
In the mean time, check out H&M budget accessible collection, they have many colors and models, so I am sure you'll find something amazing to go with your personal style.
Love,
-Daniela Dv
