Latina Fashionista: Miss Lydia Sofia

Today is March 30, 2012 and my Latina Fashionista pick of the week is none other than the birthday girl herself, my baby
Miss Lydia Sofia
No one has inspired me to be bold and take risks in fashion the way she has. Her choice of brights and pattern combinations rival those of any Hollywood designer. So let's take a look at how this 6 year old runs fashion circles around everyone around her, literally.


Here Miss Lily is wearing a fun polka dot top with a high waist and pink Hello Kitty skirt. The black tights provide just the right amount of dark contrast to make the bright pink pop! Her sparkle shoes are just the right addition to complete the look.






When Miss Lily feels like bustin' a move to some Snoop Dog she layers an oversized tee over a long-sleeve shirt in a paler shade. Her color of choice, purple. Topped off with a stand-out Crayola yellow folded bandana on her head and all that's left to say is "what up, boi!?!"













Another fresh hip hop option is to go with the mile-sky ponies. Add not one or two, but at least three or four elastic bands in your favorite matching colors and presto! Kid Coolio in da house!














There's a time to be urban and there's a time to be tropical and Miss Lily conjures up the cool ocean breeze with this relaxed ensemble. With her hair pulled back in a loose ponytail she pins a delicate yellow orchid on one side to contrast her purple embroidered patchwork dress. There's nothing like an afternoon of drumming with friends to unwind after a hard week at school.











When it's one of those days that you just have to wake up early and open presents Lydia believes in going with the flow. Sure she hasn't run a comb through her hair but there's something chic and beautiful about letting your hair do it's thing naturally.











Too young to go out and party? Who needs to get past a smelly bouncer when you can party like a rock star in the comfort of your own home?! Put on that sparkly dress that's just sitting in the closet collecting dust, blast your favorite Lady Gaga song and dance in front of your mom watching TV until she gets up and dances with you! Instant Party!











Lydia Gaga . . . Need I say more?

















A girl can never wear enough blue eyeshadow.
















Ran out of blue eyeshadow? Just wear giant sunglasses. You'll look fabulous. Don't forget the faux fur.
















Finally got the chance to go out? Dress up with a sparkly pink with black velvet dress. You'll feel special no matter what. A fancy side ponytail gives you that special happy kid look.












Probably the best accessory of all, after the princess necklace, is a great smile! You can't beat that!



Happy 6th Birthday Lydia!
Mommy Loves You!

Allow Me to Bragg About It

I had a great opening line for this post but now I can't remember. Ah, aging. Ain't it great? One day you're fun, and young, and free and the next you've gained 50lbs of baby weight and insert-other-reasons-here. Then, instead of drinking the night away with all your carefree friends, you're stuck at home writing a blog about it. As with anyone, the past few years have been a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs. I wound up with back problems that took about three years to figure out. During that time, I was scared to move for fear of re-injuring myself, at least that is what the doctors had me believe. This past December I got the news I wanted, needed, to hear. As most curvy girls can relate, this isn't my first attempt to lose weight. Countless Weight Watchers sessions, reading up on trendy diets, fasting, raw diet, 3-day diet, yoga, you name it, has led to temporary results. So what makes this time different? It is about pain management. The more weight

Thanksgiving, the dilemma

It's that time of year again when we stuff our bellies with tons of triptophan-laced turkey, stuffing, cranberry, rolls, papas and gravy. We get two days off of work and school to spend time with our friends and family and have few drinks, kick-back and relax. Yet, for those of us that know the history of this holiday, it is difficult to embrace the spirit of it with images of happy pilgrims and Indians permeating the grocery stores, office workspaces, and schools. During my hard-core activist days, we were angry at the Hollywood and Disney images of perfection that made anyone that didn't look that way feel like 2nd class citizens. Yet, now that we are parents, we're not so uptight about things. Even though my curly-haired, caramel, sun-kissed skin-toned daughter loves to watch the blonde, stick-thin Disney princesses I know that she can still enjoy watching those films and still have confidence in her own looks because, well, I'm her mom, and I won't let her think

Spider Sense

I believe everyone has a story to tell. Some people are shy and reserved while others wear their past on their sleeves. My friend, George De Los Santos, aka Spider, aka Spiderflesh , not only wears his life on his tattoo sleeve, he shares his story with those that may benefit from learning about his past. He grew up in various cities south of LA from Bell Gardens to Compton and finally Huntington Park. " I’ve always known we were poor. That has been something I accepted and was humbled by. My mother has always been a worker. Not so much in a 'job' but more so in side-jobs that pay," said George as I asked about his childhood. " My 'real' dad was not around much and when he was it just lead to disappointment so I’ve not sought him out anymore. I have learned to appreciate my mother over the years as I became a parent but there were many years that I resented some of her actions as I was growing up. I later realized that she’s human and did t
