Hello Fashionistas,

The name Monique Lhuillier evokes flawless, refined, elegant and gorgeous bridal wear, and with plenty of reasons. Her love for feminine aesthetics, delicate silhouettes, exquisite beading and interesting prints, fast-tracked her to the top of the fashion pyramid. Since the establishment of her company, Lhuillier, became a favorite among celebrities, jet-setters, and entrepreneurs that sought to impress on the red carpet or wow while walking down the aisle.

Monique Lhuillier originally started her collections in the world of Bridal wear. Despite how competitive that particular business is, Lhuillier, won over the hearts of editors and brides-to-be who fell for the designs and interesting bead work. The Spring 2013 Ready-To-Wear collection was one for the books. Not only were the gowns showstoppers, filled with detailed beading and extraordinary craftsmanship, but the prints chosen were extremely eye catching. Blues and neutrals, in shapes of fish scales and coral reefs, put a fresh twist into the timeless styles.

Monique Lhuillier originalmente comenzó sus colecciones en el mundo de los vestidos de novia, a pesar de ser un negocio tan competitivo, logró ganarse los corazones de los editores de moda y novias quienes se enamoraron de sus diseños y delicados adornos en cuentas y mostacillas. La colección Primavera 2013 Pret-a-Porter no sólo tuvo una gran demostración de vestidos hechos con excelente artesanía y detallada pedrería, sino también con estampados originales y colores llamativos. Las tonalidades azules y neutras son resultado de la inspiración marina que tuvo Lhuillier para esta colección, y para añadirle un tono fresco y más moderno, los diseños gráficos tienen forma de escamas de pescado y los colores de los corales marinos.

Trending Tips: How To Create An Anchor Tag!!

Hello SocialSphere Mavens!
Presiona Aqui Para Español!

I decided to take on the time-consuming task of writing this blog in English and Spanish because I truly madly care about my readers. Writing bilingually its a tricky thing when it comes to readability and reader’s engagement. To me, its important to find a way to relate to the reader and keep the language’s own flare; this is the reason I do not do a word-by-word translation, but rather a free-writing version keeping the main points. I have used colors to differentiate each language, and a top sign to let readers know where to find the Spanish part, but I felt there was something missing!

Hello My Friends!

When I was approached to collaborate with Dove and Latina Bloggers Connect, to speak about the importance of self-esteem, I was a bit taken back. It is a hard topic to talk about for any girl or women that has gone through confidence issues. You wouldn’t believe it but this frugalicious mermaid was once a ugly duckling! Not that I consider myself extremely beautiful now but I def don’t have the glasses, braces or huge curly blonde hair that I did when I was 15yrs old!
