Fit and Flare

Women come in all different beautiful shapes and sizes which can make finding the perfect dress fit a bit tricky. But, If you didn't already know, I've got a secret for you. What is the one dress style that ALL of us would look FAB in?? Fit and flare dresses. It doesn't matter if your body type is athletic, petite, or curvy, I can guarantee you will look amazing in a fit and flare. They define the waist line and accentuate the hour glass figure. Very figure friendly and it suits practically all body types. It is a closet essential and a summer must have. So classic, super flattering. Ladies, if you don't have a dress in this fit, go out and find yourself one right now!

Summer is the perfect time to experiment with bold colors and prints, and that's exactly why I'm loving the cross of color and animal prints on this dress I rocked that day. Very artistic. Since I am wearing a classic style of dress, I just love the funky twist the exotic print adds to the look. Don't be afraid to have some fun with your outfits and play it up every once in a while! :)

Peony and Me | Fashion Meets Fitness

When you look good, you feel good. That is basically a fact. So what can help us through getting up for a killer workout? Cute workout gear, of course. :)

Personally, having some pretty workout clothes gives me an extra boost of motivation. And there's some science to back it up! There was a study a few years ago about "enclothed cognition",meaning the mental changes we have when we wear certain clothing. For example, if you start to wear athletic clothing you like, you become more active and more likely to get to the gym.

Sooo, that's even more reason to give up old shirts and sweats, and go for some bright colors and fun prints! I'm sporting Peony and Me workout leggings from Perry Ellis' new line. The bright blue pop of color is not only fun, but it's just what I need to see for a boost when my workout is feeling dull. Workout gear that's functional andddd cute?? It's a win. :)

At-Home Workouts

Lately, I have been getting questions about my weight loss since Big Brother, and the answer is simple: a healthy and active lifestyle. You do not have go on an extreme diet or live in the gym to lose weight. Keep everything in moderation!

When it comes to fitness, let's get real, it gets hard to fit in gym time when everyday schedules get hectic. And when we get busy, it gets wayyyy easier to make excuses not to make it to the gym (you know I'm right! lol). BUT, there's an app for everything.

The Arm Workout, Ab Workout, and Butt Workout apps save me! Five to ten minute workouts that are quick, convenient, and effective. I started out doing the five minute workouts, then built myself up to the seven minute one to now the ten. It comes with video tutorials and timers making it super easy. I've been using these apps at home religiously for the past 3 months for at least 4 times a week. Stick to it and it pays off. :)

As for my diet, I generally go with seafood, which I love! (Tuna Tataki, soooo good) I buy fresh tuna for home and have it about 2 to 3 times a week. Yummy and healthy. It's a win. And for my go to, low calorie super yummy snack? Frozen grapes. If you're the type of person who needs something to snack on, trust me you'll love it! Now, who's ready for the beach? :) 

June | Summer | Palazzo

It's all about palazzo. Definitely one of my summer trend must haves. Palazzo pants have made a comeback and I am loving it! Once you get yourselves a pair of these wide leg pants, you'll be giving your skinny jeans a break for sure! Chic and comfort wrapped into one.

You guys know, I love an all white look in the summer. Gotta keep it light in this heat! When it comes to a simple and clean outfit, it's all in the details. The slit and lace detailing of my pants add a touch of feminine elegance to my outfit. And what do I love to accessorize an all white look with? Gold, gold, gold. Of course, my signature ring is the statement jewelry piece. ;) I went with an adorable clutch to pull the white and gold accents of this look together.

Glitz at the Ritz

If this body chain doesn't scream "Princess Victoria" then I don't know what else would. So glam, so fab, and very sparkly. I'm obsessed with it!

With Miami Swim Week right around the corner, who doesn't want to feel glam at all the pool parties? Beautiful weather, gorgeous models, yummy drinks, and fun vibes all around. A Miami pool party is the perfect place to take a risk and make a statement. You would be surprised by the many ways us Miami girls can style our swimwear. ;)

So here I am at the glamorous Ritz Carlton in Bal Harbour rockin' my glamorous body chain. Beautiful body chains have been a summertime jewelry trend for some time now, and I am loving it! You can find body chains that are statement pieces, and some that are subtle. All depends on your taste.

It's the perfect way to glitz up a bikini or even a night out dress or two piece. And if you think it's not for you, give it a chance and try wear it out! You might just love it. :)

Ok, so think back to your childhood summers. What's the one thing we all once rocked? Tie dye. Well, fortonight's post, we're bringin' it back!

Bikini Fashion at the Ritz Carlton South Beach Miami

So I'm back at the Ritz in South Beach for another glamorous relaxing day in the sun! It felt so dreamy in the picture perfect cabanas, sipping on the most delicious fruity drinks. So refreshing on a hot summer day. With the royal treatment you get there, you would keep going back too ;) . 

This coverup I have on is everything! Felt like a goddess in it. What I also love about it is that if you're not on the beach or by the pool, you can rock it as top for a full outfit as well. 

Andddd, you can't miss the beautiful flash tattoos I have on to add some glam to my poolside look. I've never seen turquoise flash tattoos, so I knew right away I had to match it with my turquoise bikini of course!  Looks like jewelry, and I don't have to worry about it getting wet. Perfect for the summer. :)
