WHAT I WORE: BOLIVIA MODA FALL/WINTER 2018

#MadeinBolivia. I had this post "in the oven" for a couple of days now but I have been so tired lately- getting over the jet lag and the 4 sleepless nights i spent taking and editing pics for Bolivia Moda (BOMO) that I couldn't get myself to finish it. I set myself to finish it as my Monday goal, so, here it is... the 4 looks I used during Bolivia Moda Fall/Winter! BOMO is my country's biggest fashion event and event where so many of our talented designers get to showcase their beautiful designs. I really am one to say that i LOVE wearing what is made in my country and I stand by the talent that our country has to offer. I hope you enjoy some of the looks I chose and please let me know in the comment box below what your favorite was!

Tenia este post 'en el horno' por unos cuantos días pero he estado tan cansada últimamente- con el jetlag y las 4 noches sin dormir que tuve durante el BOMO- que no lograba terminarlo. Como meta de dia lunes me propuse terminarlo y aqui está para todos ustedes! Mis 4 looks que usé durante el Bolivia Moda. Como muchos de ustedes saben, yo realmente disfruto y uso con orgullo los diseños de mi país. El usar lo que es #madeinbolivia es una de las formas mas fáciles de ayudar al crecimiento de esta industria que por mas pequeña sea, tiene grandes ansias de crecer. Cual de todos los looks fué tu favorito? 

LOOK 1: FRAME x VICKYS CASUAL

I traveled to Tarija, Bolivia a month before for a special project and took advantage to visit Vickys Casual's store and picked out my first look. I went for a red power suit- I thought it would be a great statement look to kick off the event! The pictures were taken at the iconic Casa Dorada and I absolutely loved the result- mixing traditional locations and fashion is what I'm all about! 

Viajé a Tarija, Bolivia para un proyecto especial un mes antes del Bolivia Moda y aproveché de visitar la tienda original de Vickys Casual y escoger mi primer look. Para el primer dia del BOMO opté por un look monocromatico- un traje rojo perfecto para arrancar con fuerza el Bolivia Moda. Las fotos las tomamos en la icónica Casa Dorada y me encantó el resultado de poder mostrar los encantos de nuestro país mezclado con moda. 

LOOK 2: IMPERIAL LOVE x NATASHA

For the second night of Bolivia Moda, I chose a dress from Bolivian designer Kathia Suarez Villavicencio and from her collection Imperial Love. The collection was filled with feminine and sophisticated dresses in beautiful pastel colors. I went for a pink nude makeup, emphasizing the skin with rose gold highlighter and went for a nude lip. All my makeup during the 4 days was in charge of Natura. 

Para la segunda noche del Bolivia Moda, escogí usar un diseño de Kathia Suarez Villavicencio y su marca Natasha. Este vestido era parte de su preciosa colección Imperial Love donde tenia un hermoso uso de telas y texturas que fueron vistos en una hermosa gama de colores rosas y nudes. Para complementar mi look, escogí un maquillaje también en tonos oro rosa y lo resalté con mucho iluminador. Durante las 4 noches del BOMO mi maquillaje estuvo a cargo de Natura. 

LOOK 3: ENVI DE MI x PAPINGO MAMINGA

For the third night of Bolivia Moda, I went for a look that was very commercial and on trend- something every girl wants to use and find its very easy to mix and match. In all honesty, the one thing I loved most about this look from Papingo Maminga was that it was dark and mysterious, but done so with the most fun and feminine ruffles. This was part of their collection "Envi de Mi". For the makeup, I went all rocker-ish with a double catline- at top and on bottom! 

Para la tercera noche del Bolivia Moda, escogí este look de la coleccion "Envi de Mi" que presentaron los diseñadores Daniel Ghetti y Marco Gutierrez de Papingo Maminga. Quise ir por un look diferente a lo que usaría, algo mas oscuro y misterioso pero sin perder el toque de feminidad que siempre me gusta- como lo vimos en los volados de la blusa y la falda. Para mi maquillaje, quise ir por un look mas rockero y usé una tendencia que está pegando mucho ahorita- la de doble delineado arriba y abajo. 

LOOK 4: CHIQUITANOS x DIABLA

Last but certainly not least, I went for the most unexpected look of them all (I think), for the last night of Bolivia Moda. When I was in Tarija, I also visited Julia Navajas and Pamela Gallardo, the designers of the Bolivian brand Diabla. We had two looks in mind but ended up going with the one people wouldn't expect to see me in. The other one was more 'princess-y' and more something I would usually wear. We went for an oversized mustard knit paired with with a sequins skirt. To top it off- did you see those amazing earrings and the belt bag? :) 

Sin duda alguna, cuando viajé a Tarija y escogi entre dos looks que las diseñadores Julia Navajas y Pamela Gallardo de Diabla tenían para mi, fuimos por el que ustedes menos esperararian. El primero era un look, igual de hermoso, pero mas estilo princesa y mas predecible quien sabe para mi. Optamos por este segundo, un tejido oversized con una falda de lentejuelas y algo fuera de mi zona de comfort, pero eso fué lo que mas me gusto! Ya vieron los aros y la riñonera? :)
