Pretty in Pink

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Frances Nicole

If I was told that I could only wear one color for the rest of my life (against my will, of course), I would choose the color Pink. No, it isn’t my favorite color, but I do find that it is the most flattering against my skin tone. When taking these pictures, I found myself loving every single one of the shots that Adam took, which is a rare occurrence for me.
(Sorry for the pink overload, in advance.)

Clueless

Posted on June 12, 2013 by Frances Nicole

When I initially put this outfit together, I was taken back to 1995. Midriff-baring and all. —I had a complete Cher moment. Still, I was completely confident with toping the muted gray’s and the barely-there crop top with this vibrant watercolor floral blazer.

To finish up the look, I wore a chandelier necklace from Elle B. jewelry. Stunning, right?

City Brights

No visit to NYC is ever complete without a stop at Madison Square Park. Not only because a midday stroll in the park is among my favorite things to do, but mainly because MSP houses one of my favorite places to eat. Ever. The Shake Shack. Now, i’ll spare you the juicy burger details, but just know that when in New York, The Shake Shack is a must.

Hello, Brooklyn

Posted on June 5, 2013 by Frances Nicole

Growing up in Puerto Rico, my grandmothers stories of times when my father was growing up in Brooklyn, never really escaped me. Tales of times when her own grandmother left Lebanon to come to the U.S. in search of the American dream.

It’s impressive to think how many years later i’m able to visit the childhood home, school and city of my father’s humble beginnings, and see the fruit of their labor.

Big Leagues

Posted on May 29, 2013 by Frances Nicole

Back in April, I blogged about my visit to Glendale, Arizona to watch one of my childhood best friends play Spring Training ball with the Cincinnati Reds. Though I was hopeful that this experience would encourage the ball club to recruit him to the major leagues, I thought he would be called up in the more distant future. —Not that I wasn’t optimistic about his talent, but more so that the roster was full individuals with no chance of injury.

Saturday, April 18th, 2013 I packed my bags and headed to ‘The City of Brotherly Love’. The 1st baseman for the Triple-A minor league baseball affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, Neftalí Soto became the #293rd Puerto Rican to play major league baseball. I couldn’t have been more happy for him and his family and I wouldn’t have missed his first major league at bat for anything in the world.

Mix & Match

Posted on May 9, 2013 by Frances Nicole

Ever since I was old enough to dress myself, I was told never to mix & match two completely different patterns.
Fast-forward 20 something years later…
Wearing opposite prints has become the latest in trends.
My, how times have changed!
The combination of the subtle chevron print with floral printed skinny’s,
makes for a lovely pairing!

Across The Pond

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Frances Nicole

It seems like not so long ago my passport was a blank canvas, and thoughts of visiting Europe were just a figment of my imagination.
Almost 2 years later, I have been blessed with being able to travel the world
and being able to experience life outside of the U.S.
It takes persistence, praying and visualizing yourself in another destination,
(oh, and plenty of full piggy banks too!)
to embark on a journey miles away from home.

My first destination across the pond was the United Kingdom.
The minute I stepped off the plane, I became inspired by my surroundings.

Thus, My Style Snapshot was born.

Red Tulips

Posted on April 11, 2013 by Frances Nicole

Today I break out of the ordinary fashion post routine and shine light
to an organization that is very dear to my heart; Parkinson Puerto Rico.
A few years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Juan Carlos Mora;
a Parkinson patient who has been affected by this illness since the young age of 16.
Now, at the age of 34, he has created a support system for Parkinson patients
and is being recognized today for his efforts,
by declaring April 11th, as the “National Day of Parkinson’s Disease“ in Puerto Rico.

Today’s post is in solidarity towards finding the cure of Parkinson’s Disease.
The 3 red tulips (featured in the Parkinson Puerto Rico logo),
symbolize love, hope and fight.

I personally invite you to contribute and support this wonderful cause.

En el día de hoy, dejo mi rutina ordinaria, y le brindo luz a una organización que aprecio mucho; Parkinson Puerto Rico.
Hace unos cuantos años, tuve el placer de conocer a Juan Carlos Mora;
un paciente de Parkinson que ha sido afectado por esta
condición desde la temprana edad de 16.
Ahora, a los 34 años, el ha creado un sistema de apoyo para los pacientes de Parkinson
y hoy sera reconocido por sus gran esfuerzos,
declarando el 11 de abril como el “Día Nacional de Parkinson” en Puerto Rico.

El ‘post‘ de hoy es en solidaridad hacia encontrar la cura para Parkinson.
Los 3 tulipanes rojos (en el logo de Parkinson Puerto Rico),
simbolizan amor, esperanza y lucha.

Los invito a que contribuyan y apoyen esta gran causa.

Glendale, Arizona

Posted on April 4, 2013 by Frances Nicole

One of the most rewarding things for me to experience, is seeing someone truly dedicated reach their dreams. Last October, I went to visit one of my best friends play AAA for the Louisville Bats in Kentucky, and I took you along for the ride. A few weeks ago, Courtney and I finally got to see him play a Major League Baseball Spring Training game in the beautiful new stadium of Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona.

Here’s to making it to the big leagues in 2013!
