Be front and center at People en Español red carpet

By Mercedes Sanchez

As much I’d love to celebrate my two-page spread at the People en Español 50 Mas Bellos party tonight, I won’t be able to make it.

But just because I can’t make it, doesn’t mean you can’t! Catch the red carpet out of the Plaza Hotel via live stream starting tonight at 9 p.m. on the People en Español Web site.

I’ll try to make it home in time for the red carpet, but if I’m not, don’t hesitate to Tweet or Facebook me and tell me who you think is the best or worst dressed! We hear Zoe Saldaña, Ricky Martin, Thalía, Naya Rivera, Giselle Blondet, Jorge Ramos, Lili Estefan, Raúl de Molina, María Elena Salina and many others will be there!

Watch the 50 Mas Bellos red carpet arrivals live from PeopleEnEspañol.com starting at 9 p.m.

Alexis Bledel on Mad Men

Did you know Alexis is Latina?

By Mercedes Sanchez

While watching Mad Men, I had to do a double take to confirm if the woman standing half naked by Pete Campbell’s desk was Gilmore Girl’s Alexis Bledel. Sure enough, it was!

I missed last week’s episode where she played Beth Dawes– the wife of Pete’s commuter friend. But she made another brief cameo tonight.

Kudos to Alexis on her role! I haven’t seen her do anything worth talking about since The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Alexis Bledel is Latina? Her mother is originally from Mexico while her father is from Argentina. And it turns out that her first language is Spanish!

“You inspired me to wear coral with green.”

BeChic reader inspired by our style post!

By Mercedes Sanchez

There’s nothing more gratifying than meeting my readers and hearing firsthand that my blog inspires them! That’s exactly what happened when Alejandra Ramos (left) introduced herself at the Cosmo for Latinas party and mentioned reading my Mixing High and Low Fashion article.

“I loved how you combined coral and green,” says Ramos. “I would not think of combining those two colors together, but I saw how you did it and that’s what inspired my outfit tonight.”

Ramos wore a knee-length, curve-hugging coral dress from Lauren by Ralph Lauren. And talk about mixing high and low! Her chic heels are from Christian Siriano for Payless!

“To me, being chic means wearing something that makes you feel amazing and confident. It’s having the courage to be bold and try new things.”

What I wore to Cosmo Party

Cosmo for Latinas Launch Party

By Mercedes Sanchez

We celebrated the Cosmo for Latinas premiere issue yesterday at the gorgeous Press Lounge rooftop. Zoe Saldana and Victor Cruz were there, but I was so busy catching up with former colleagues that I didn’t get a chance to say hi to the stars!

As I mentioned on Facebook and Twitter yesterday, I was nervous about wearing a tight, short, one-shoulder dress but I’m so glad I did. Take a look at my photos below and let me know what you think?
