This Is How We Do

Oh do I love cold weather in Florida. Even this get up did not keep me warm. After I took these photos I threw on a big shaggy cardigan. I look forward to the days of layering and wearing fall colors. It makes you feel like the holiday's are coming.

So, they look pajamas, but they are not, it's an illusion. These are my 4th pair of pajama like pants and I just can't get enough of them. They are comfy and usually come in fun prints, that you can really dress up. Mine are from J. crew where most of mine are from, but I have a pair of silk ones from Zara that a lot of people seem to own as well. They are my go to bottoms when it's blazing hot and don't want to wear shorts. 

Are you in love with pajama like pants as much as me?

Top: Theory

Jeans: Goldsign 

Sandals: J. Crew

Purse: Kate Spade Saturday 

This is what I call my elevated take on jeans and a tee. Most of my day off attire usually looks like this, but i bumped it up a notch with some fancy brands. I like basic knits with cool cuts and super soft materials, and theory and rag & bone are right on the money with that. My Goldsign jeans are my new affair. Each pair looks so special and unique, and for real denim lovers you would totally get what I'm saying. They are the softest and most comfortable denim even though they are distressed. They are just perfectly worn. 

LET THE SHIRT DO THE TALKING

The vacation vibes are flowing. Alex (my boyfriend) and I are in serious need of a vacation, but where to go is the issue. It's been between Cali, Chicago, D.C or back to New York. For me it's CALIFORNIA all the way. I've never been and that perfect weather charm is calling my name.  Where do you think we should visit? 

Lastly, did you watch the Miami Heat game last night?! That was an unbelievable game and "that guy" is one dirty player who does not deserve to play for the NBA! The Miami Heat has an amazing team flow and nobody could ever compare. They don't need dirty antics to win. Cannot wait to go watch them win the finals!!

It's been a long time since I've written on this blog let alone go on it. I know, because as I was typing up my blog name in the search tab, it didn't complete the link. My only excuse is that school, work and life played such a huge role in my absence. But now I'm a college graduate circa 3 weeks ago and I now live on my own. I  can officially say that I now know the meaning of living the adult life; I think ; )

As I wear my Stella McCartney esque top, I give you a peek of the view from my balcony, my new love of desert plants and the sunset I get to see up close just from my living room.

The title says it all, I'm back in the groove to blog!

HighlyVibrant

Yeah, I meant it to be a pretty bright post. Even from the overly crazy flare app i used to make the photos pop! So, the winter season is coming to Florida and it's time to bear the cold, and not with ugly hoodies and sweats. Wear your scarves, layer with sweaters and cute collared tops, and wear cords for a different texture than jeans.

BOYISHAPPEAL

I love masculine pieces mixed with girly pieces; it gives a look an unexpected edge. Just by pairing a utility jacket with a feminine dress, blouse or skirt you add a little boyish appeal. You can find a utility jacket just about any where. Mine in particular is from J. Crew and it's my go to piece.  I'm surprised I don't have a picture of my favorite Van Halen T-shirt with my blingy necklace. I have worn the combo with leather shorts, pleated skirts, boyfriend jeans and a floral skirt (favorite contrast). Another way to incorporate the boyish/girly trend is by pairing your boyfriend jeans with a girly blouse and pumps. There are endless ways and I just can't get enough of it.

A hint of leopard never hurt anyone; it only makes a person's outfit complete. Use it to mix prints, Add as a neutral and lastly to break up a monochromatic look. My take is down below

First look: Madewell Blouse. Forever 21 Leather Shorts. Sam Edelman Booties.

JoanJettApproved

Finally a Denim Vest! I went to the J. Crew in New York which btw was gorgeous and amazing and found this vest right as I was leaving. I've been looking for one that was the perfect wash and of course J. Crew supplied it. I wore this look out to the Joan Jett concert. I must say she is an amazing performer and her voice was just how I imagined it would be live. She was doing all these crazy moves- which would disturb me for a person her age but it just looked right. She totally still got it.

HarryPotterPremiere

1. Staying at the Andaz Hotel. 2. Getting my hair done at the Warren Tricomi Salon on Madison 3. Wearing my Gorgeous Aqua dress given to me by Bloomingdales! 4. Waiting to walk the Red Carpet. 5. Standing next to Rupert my future husband. 6. The coolest 3D glasses. 7. The Cast speaking before the film (I almost started to ball) 8. The gorgeous bathtub I was about to enjoy

I want to thank PopSugar for choosing me as the winner! I will always be grateful for this amazing experience and I couldn't have had a better reason to go to New York. I want to thank the ladies of Bloomingdales for gifting me this amazing dress & for helping me choose it, thank the camera crew and the people of popsugar making me feel comfortable, The ladies that made me look my best from Warren Tricomi(best salon ever), and again PopSugar for making this all possible! The movie was amazing and to see the cast speak on behalf of the film was an amazing thing to hear and see. The last installment of the film was for sure its best and I'm truly sad to see the series end. For all you Harry Potter fans you will not be disappointed.
