Hey there, I'm Alicia Menendez.

This is Latina to Latina.

Each week, we talk with Latinas on the rise.

Hi, I'm Lillianna Vasquez, style expert and founder of Tesoro Collective.com.

The stage is set at Radio Cityity for this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

And who knows what kind of fun we'll get into on this year's paint carpet.

Let's get this party started.

Such a TV person.

I love that it is raining in New York City and you look adorable. You have on a hat,

a cardigan, a vintage t-shirt, a short denim skirt, white sneakers. And I am here in black

stretch pants and a shirt that my friend didn't want anymore and gave to me. So I think this

really sums up our aesthetics. I love that that is the first want anymore and gave to me. So I think this really sums up our

aesthetics. I love that that is the first thing that you said to me when I walked in. I think here's

a thing. I've always thought this about clothes. Clothes are the truest, most honest representation

of a person. And it's who you are at the core. And it's for me, whether it's raining or a perfect 89 degree day with no humidity, I love clothes and I love getting dressed.

And that brings me joy.

So I choose joy every single time I go in my closet.

It's not the same for everyone.

Some people choose joy through food.

Some people choose joy through work or working out.

But people always ask them, they're like, how do you have the energy to, like, put together all these outfits and look cute all the time?

I don't think of it as looking cute.
