Paris Fashion Week, in Three Days
Paris Fashion Week is always a highlight of my year and there’s nothing I love more than trotting about town wearing my favorite designers and going to all my favorite shows, presentations, and let’s not forget the parties…
It’s a TikTok thing
Yeah, I said it. It’s fun.
Spring black
What can I say? I’m a sucker for black.
Discipline. Habits. Consistency.
Next time you find yourself at a fork in the road ask yourself, “Do I have discipline? Am I being consistent?”
Winter to spring transition
Ahem, did I mention Harper’s Bazaar named me one of the best dressed with this outfit?
Burnt Toast
Let me preface this article by saying that I love my job.
Retreat
This past week I did the unthinkable in my world - I shut off my computer for a week and took time for me. Oh, did I mention that this was also during New York Fashion Week?
Shimmy Shimmy

Glimpses of a Spanish summer
Quick first impression
Making a lasting and positive first impression now has to be done in record timing. Move aside Olympians, this is a dash to the finish that has to be sprinkled with finesse and style. So how exactly can someone exude positivity, professionalism, and friendliness in mere seconds?

I get it. I get it because I’m a people pleaser. Hi, my name is Idalia Salsamendi, and I’m a chronic people-pleaser.
Five to Seven
This past weekend, I decided to doll myself up. Blame it on me binging on “Halston” on Netflix. Blame it for my need to just wear something bright, flirty and fun. Whatever it was, it brought pure magic.
The “Setting”
We hear this all the time, don’t we?
It’s the broken track-record of those telling us that work should not consume our entire lives. That we need to put our priorities in order. That life goes by quicker than a blink of an eye and (wait for it, wait for it)… we need to take time to smell the roses.
Is perfection worth it?
Allow me to preface with the obvious: I make a living off of digital marketing and advertising. The modern female Don Draper who traded in the office on Madison Avenue for a laptop and a mobile. But just like office spaces and typewriters have evolved, so has advertising, but not to a quick enough pace as I personally would have liked.
