Hi there! I’m Suyapa Lucy but you can call me Lucy!

A little bit more about me…

Let’s start at the beginning, shall we? I was born in Barcelona, Spain to immigrant parents from Colombia and Honduras and immigrated to the US in my early teens. Since then, I’ve been a Southern California girl and my husband and I recently built our dream home in San Diego, where we keep life fun and sassy with our two kiddos!

As for Lucy’s Whims, this is my space to share my love of effortless, luxe, and modern living. My goal is to make women at any age and time in their lives feel confident, sexy and fearless. I’m down to try every trend but always gotta make it my own. I love a good strong cocktail BUT make it skinny! Oh, and I never take life too seriously!

Follow me for all my whims

FAQ'S

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do you do your hair?

I have naturally curly hair so my hair already has a LOT of texture! But I let it air dry and use this volume spray at the roots then run curling wand through random pieces for messy texture! I also have this tutorial here that goes more in depth.

Botox and fillers?

YES and YES! I’m all about keeping it honest! I started getting botox in my early 30’s for preventative reasons and think it really helped to slow things down! I have a bit of filler in my cheeks and I did a touch on my lips this year and love the results! My philosophy is less is more and do what makes you happy! ;)

How old are you?

43 and thriving! ;)

How do you edit your photos? What camera do you use?

A big part of my photos is lighting, I shoot in very specific lighting to give a glow to the skin! For editing; I use a combo of Photoshop & Lightroom presets I had On Closet Nine create for me! I use a Canon Mark 3 Camera and use either a 50mm 1.2 fixed lens or 85mm 1.2 fixed lens
