Royal Blues Hotel

Sometimes we need a change of pace and scenery from our day-to-day life. A mini getaway does wonders, but when going abroad just can't fit in, a relaxing staycation it is! 

GEORGES DUBOEUF 2016 BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU

Just how we need a cup of coffee every now and again to get us going and start the day, a glass of wine is just as appreciated to wind down and end a night. Who doesn't enjoy a glass of wine? It for sure works its magic most especially after a long day! And while we all have our go-tos, finding a new wine to sip on never gets old, which is why I'm pretty excited to share with you guys a current favorite of mine: Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau 2016. 

FALL STYLE WITH COLE HAAN

With 2016 soon coming to a close (where has the time gone?!),

Layering Trend

With fall season here and winter fast approaching, it's time to pile them on! I'm talking layers here, and not only is it simply practical, but naturally this time of year layering is made trendy in the fashion world.

White on White

As far as trends go, there's one that's stayed strong throughout the year: lace.

RIO SANDALS U.S LAUNCH

Sandals. I'm close to 100% sure that we've all got a pair. And whether we're out by the pool, on an exotic vacation, or just have to run out for a few quick errands, we all need a trusty pair of sandals!

Military Trend

Ladies, I've got military on the mind today.

Join me this Thursday 10/27 | Henri Bendel Happy Hour Event

 

Let's get real here, who can resist being a Henri Bendel girl? 

Bell Sleeves Obsession

We might be going in steady phasing into our fall wardrobe, but that doesn't mean I still can't rock my florals, does it? Cause I'm definitely all for it.

Dove Advanced Care

When it comes to a woman's beauty routine, not all is as straight forward as it seems. I would just love to take a baby wipe to the face, splash some water, and call it a night but let's be real...there's a whole lotta maintenance involved, especially when we're dealing with skincare.

Silk'n Solution

Let's face it, a woman's beauty regimen is serious business. It's safe to say that we all try our best in maintaining ourselves, but at times, it's not as easy as it seems to keep up.

Metallic Trend

There's been a whole lotta shine lately in the fashion scene, and I am so here for it! All that glitters and sparkles and gleams is taking the spotlight, and a certain recent favorite of mine? Metallic. Pulling it off is easier than you'd think,

Casual Chic

Ladies, today we have ourselves the cutest little double take. Is it a dress or is it a top? Well, it's a top but...there are two sides to every outfit, and in this case, the back is where it's at! 

ISRAEL DIARIES PART 1

If you've noticed the change in scenery...it's cause I'm on vacation! Yup, I've traded in the vibrant Miami scene for exotic Israeli nights this summer, and I'm super excited!

DoSomething.org

Ladies, straight to the point! Let's talk periods. Yup, we're going there. Some think its TMI, but having tricks up your sleeve for that time of the month is never TMI, right? By this point, we all know the deal and routine, but sharing tips always help. 

Mesh Trench

These days, it's easy to see right through people. As in, literally see...right through people. I'm talkin' bout this sheer craze!

Cause Two is better than one

I've said before how much I love me a good ol' two-piece set. It saves you time standing in front of your closet and takes the stress out (first world kind of stress, huh? lol) of picking an outfit. And if one day you're not feeling all matchy-matchy, you have two pieces to mix and switch up. 

Kimono lovin'

Kimono or no? Well, that's a no-brainer...kimonos all day! They've easily made their way into my list of summer staples, and there's no question as to why.

Cooler in Cotton

As a lover of fashion, picking out an outfit is an enjoyable process for me. It's about tones & colors, and shapes & sizes, and prints & designs, and on and on...aesthetics right? Well, as much as I'm into the look of the clothes, lately, I've been all about the make up of the clothes. The fabrics, the textures, and of course, the feel. And since I've got to beat the summer heat, cotton tops my list all the way. That's why im so excited to be a part of Cotton's summer campaign #CoolerInCotton.

Chiffon + Embroidery

Because sometimes just cute & casual (with a lil' bit of sass) is what I go for when glam takes a day off, today's outfit is my twist on a classic look... girl-next-door. 

PUFF SLEEVES

You might have noticed it's been all about exaggerated sleeves lately. Bell, oversized, and today's case...puffed. What these sleeves have in common?

Birthday Girl

And another year rolls around! As I recently blew out my candles, birthday outfits come to mind. We always go for favorites on our birthday, no? Favorite color, style of dress, type of jewelry, etc. Well, it's no surprise on my birthday, I decided on the prettiest colors of them all.

Summer Suede

As they say in fashion, it's all in details. And that's definitely what comes to mind when I saw this gorgeous little number.

Casual Gal

Summer days have arrived, and I'm all ready for the traditional beach days & barbecues and all of that, but one thing we all should appreciate that this season brings...easy outfits

Five way, My way | Teaming up with Coco Reef

Bikini season is fast approaching, who's ready! Us girls know how major it is to be stocking the cutest swimsuits for the summer time sunshine. Yup, we take our bikini fashion pretty seriously these days. But what's levels above the look of a swimsuit when shopping for one? The fit. Oh, how many swimsuits we've left behind cause of the fit. Not only that, we want a swimsuit we can feel free to rock as many times as we want without tiring of it. Well, I've got you covered on all three bases this time around. Fit, fashion, and versatility. 

My little two piece from Coco Reef checks all three boxes. It's common knowledge that it's a bit more tricky swimsuit shopping for my bustier babes. You've got no worries with fit on this one since Coco Reef has specially designed swimsuits with underwire that provide shape and support for larger busts. Not to mention, the cutest choices too! This swimsuit season, prints are a hit once again! You can catch me matching the ocean blues with my turquoise printed bikini. And last but not least, versatility. You can have some fun with this one since this bikini can be styled 5 different ways! It comes with removable straps and a convertible neckline to style just the way you like it. You can style it the classic way, have it in a halter, or make it extra adorable by tying a bow in the front. I tied the straps at the back and went with a bandeau style. How would you style it? :)

Summer Stripes

Guys, if you've been following my blog this past year, you've might of noticed something. The bell sleeves, the flared pants, the fringe, the suede. The truth is...I've been hit hard with 70s fever. And it's still going strong, both in the fashion scene and in my closet.

Sugar Bay Resort | JetBlue Getaways part 3

After taking in the Caribbean ocean breezes on a fun daytime boat escapade, I headed out to my final stay at the all-inclusive Sugar Bay Barbados beach resort. Just as expected, the resort was just as gorgeous as their ocean views.

Boho Chic in Overlay Playsuit

 Girls, you ever have those days when you're feeling super laid back, but still want to dress chic? You know what I mean. Not feeling too basic like a jeans and t-shirt, but not about to be all dolled up either. Those days are perfect...to go boho.

Catamaran Cruise | JetBlue Getaway part 2

There's an absolute must when you travel to an island...get on a boat! The Saturday during my weekend getaway, I got to set a sail for a day cruise on the Catamaran Cruise Boat with Jetblue. And as the rule goes, you get on a boat with a group of people and it's a party! 

Hellooo Barbados | JetBlue Getaways

LBD | Little Blue Dress

Another throwback that popped up on the runways for the 2016 spring season may have you reminiscing to your playground days. Bows! Yup, bows have grown with us and as I'm a lover of all things girly, the fact that I'm seeing more and more bows sprinkled onto outfits recently makes me a happy girl. They just make everything look a whole lot prettier, don't they?

Perfect Spring Skirt

 Spring fashion meets a classic twist. I'm all about my pastels, but let's put that on hold for a sec and give a lil' b&w action. No matter the season, black and white is forever in style so there's no going wrong. And when its in the form of this playfully patterned handkerchief skirt, I simply can't resist!

Off the shoulder

Girls, it's time to bare them shoulders! Off-the-shoulder tops are practically an essential this season, and what's not to love about that? They're feminine and flirty with a hinty of sultry, and not to mention flattering for all shapes and sizes.

711 Skinny Levis®

I've talked about my wardrobe must-haves and closet essentials here and there, but what's the one piece that absolutely tops mine and everyyy single one of ours' lists? The ultimate essential...a good pair of jeans. And not just any regular pair, those perfectly fitting jeans in your closet that makes everything all right and tight, and oh-so fine but you can still breathe in?

Spring Slits

I've said before how a maxi dress is one of my go-tos, especially when the weather's just right and I'm looking for an easy throw-on outfit. Well, the dress I have on for today's post has got to be one of my top picks of the month for spring.

The Pantsuit

As you've probably realized, your choice of style can have quite an impact on your mentality and how you're feeling. It's practically been proven! So, when I've got things under control and I'm feelin' those girl boss vibes, what am I wearing? A pantsuit. There's just something about suiting up that gives you a little power boost. It's no wonder that pantsuits have been everywhere lately and made it's way into street style, not just officewear. Thinking about it, but not sure how to pull it off? I got you!

Happy first day of spring | Spring with Neutrogena® Beach Defense® Sunscreen Spray

If you're investing in quality creams and products for your beauty regimen, you probably know the importance of a regular skincare routine. But just as important as what you apply before bed, is what you put on before you head out for the day. One word...sunscreen. Always, always, always remember sunscreen. You may love that glowing sun kissed tan now, but 15 years later your skin won't be too happy. 

Eva Mendes Spring Collection | New York & Co

With beautiful warm weather well on it's way, your heavy fabrics and darker hues can finally be traded in for bright colors and fun prints, and I'm all for it! Transitioning your fall/winter wardrobe for spring/summer can be as easy as just integrating more colorful and playful pieces. So for today's looks, I'm showing you spring, two ways, from the new Eva Mendes Spring Collection at New York & Company. 

SOBEFEST 2016

If there ever was a must-go-to festival, South Beach Wine and Food Festival on Miami Beach is it.

Network TV stars, culinary geniuses, world-renowned restaurateurs, gourmet food and, of course, the wines.

SOBEfest draws foodies from all over the globe to attend the scrumptious events throughout the four-day festival. From daytime demos to late-night tastings, one of more than 80 events is sure to please anyone’s taste buds. 

I have teamed up with Visit Florida to cover this amazing weekend!  I started my SobeFest experience... wining! I attended the Copper Cane Wines & Provisions event at their bungalow. Favorite drink of the evening? Winemaker Joseph Wagner's new sparkling wine, Steorra. It’s a mix of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Yum!

Since I wasn't out walking on the beach for the events that night, I went for a simple dolled-up look with a flowy turquoise maxi and a pair of heels.

Detachable Tulle Skirt

It's time to put another #NYFW look in the books, so let's rewind a couple weeks back! I wanted something different than what I usually wear (never hesitate to switch things up and try a new look every now and then!), but I still went for my go-to recipe: a hint of edge, a scoop of girly, and a sprinkle of chic.
