Everyone got to know Scott Speedman on a little show called Felicity back in the late 90’s, but I was never one of them. I guess I was just too cool for J.J. Abrams back then (blasphemer). The first time I laid eyes on Mr. Speedman was in the Underworld films, where he plays Michael Corvin, one hot piece of werewolf. So beyond gorgeous photos like the ones I feature below came as no surprise to me – apparently those Felicity fans don’t remember him being quite so hunky. Just proves my theory that men only get better with age (too bad the same cannot be said of us – sigh).

What I Wore: The Perfect Shirt
We are always searching for perfection, aren’t we? The perfect cup of tea, the perfect man, the perfect moment, and of course, the perfect shirt. When Conversation Pieces began singing the praises of their supposed perfect shirt, I naturally was a bit skeptical. Perfect? Really? What makes it so?
I quickly found out: super soft fabric, adjustable sleeves, basic colors and versatility. You can tuck it in for a business casual look at the office or a date night or leave it out to pair with your favorite pair of skinnies and high heels. I decided better than to just gush about it, I’d show you myself! I put together 2 outfits (of the many I’m sure I could throw together with this shirt) that reflected two different looks: (1) a fancy date night & (2) a fun girls night out.
Date Night!
Top; Conversation Pieces
Skirt; The Limited
Sandals; Enzo
Watch; Kenneth Cole
Necklace; Off 5th
Earrings; Kate Spade

Lovable Friday
I have to say I am really loving all the decorative arrow elements I’m seeing all around Pinterest and Etsy! They are all very Katniss Everdeen – makes you wonder if the trend started just to spur more Hunger Games hype, right? But seriously, how cute would these mini pastel arrows look on a mantel or console table (you know I’m thinking about mine). Get some here!
What I Wore: Downtown Disney
After our Disney photo-taking extravaganza, we took it easy the following day and just strolled around Downtown Disney and had a few drinks at a nearby brewery. I was so happy to see so many restaurants offering gluten free options (favorite definitely being the GF fish & chips at Raglan Road Pub) – going out to eat is usually a huge struggle for me (honestly, I’ve been avoiding it lately), but it was made so easy on this trip. You really got to give it to Disney for trying to make it a pleasurable experience for all their guests.
Something else I love about Disney? You can dress a little wilder than usual and not get many side glances. Although you may be thinking my outfit isn’t that cray, I assure you it is for typical Miami folk. I always feel like I have to reign in my style (dumb it down so to speak) on days where I just don’t feel like getting those strange looks from people on the street. But not here. Oh no, Disney encourages you to hoist your freak flag and I love it. This outfit was paired with my Mickey ears earlier, but due to some serious gusts of wind, I had to take it off and tuck it in the safety of my purse. I really wish I would have gotten some shots with them on though – I was channeling a modern Minnie Mouse. 😉
