What I Wore: Collars, Crates & Cuties

May 15th, 2012 | Posted in Fashion, Personal by Meli

I had a little guest in my photos today (that would be the cutie in question)!! We decided to bring along our adorable 7-year-old Boston Terrier, Brad-Pitt, for the shoot. He was recently diagnosed as being obese, so we have him on a strict diet and are trying to get him a little more active. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity! I also wanted to give a little homage to the fabulous blogger, Fancy Treehouse (so excited about her pregnancy announcement).

A lot of exciting things have been swirling around and I hope to be sharing some fun new endeavors with all of you soon!

1. Macarons

I think the one defining moment of my time spent in Paris was eating macarons. Sure, the city was breathtaking, sure it’s the birth place of fashion, but for me, it was all about the macarons. Visiting LaDuree was the highlight. My mouth has never exploded into a million pieces when I have eaten something before, and it happened with each and every colorful little macaron. Ever since, I have been dying to find a French bakery in Miami that can replicate that beautiful feeling. Any recs, local readers?

What I Wore: Sweet Treat Dress

May 3rd, 2012 | Posted in Fashion by Meli

I had such great plans for today’s outfit post, but unfortunately, the Miami weather didn’t feel the same. It was a wicked downpour, so I had to switch things up. Thankfully, an umbrella makes a pretty awesome prop. Although I wasn’t able to show the fun and flouncy aspects of this dress, you will have to trust me. It is just the cutest little number ever. I love the red/pink color combo, its light and airy feel and its fun circle skirt. Who doesn’t like to twirl around in a pretty frock? No one, that’s who. ;)

I told you this would be a new feature on the blog. Sigh.
Here’s what I’ve managed to pick up this week;

BaubleBar Neon Bib Necklace
I’m pretty sure I’m obsessed with their weekly Buried Baubles. For those of you not in the know, they reduce one item on their site to a frugal $10 if you can find it. I’ve been searching and buying for a solid 3 weeks now. ::hangs head in shame::
