What I Wore: Spring Pastels

Believe it or not, Miami has been having some pretty chilly weather. And the kicker is that it has managed to last more than one day. In fact, it’s been about a week since we got a cold front and it is still sweater weather material down here. Of course, this past weekend, things started heating up a little more so I felt compelled to pull out my most Spring-y look. This means mint pants! Gold cap toes! Sheer tops!

Too bad the day ended with my foot swelling to unbelievable proportions. C’mon, foot. Work with me. I don’t want to wear sneakers for the rest of the month.

Lovable Friday

1. Striped Balloons

Balloons. I love them to an unnatural degree. Big ones, little ones & everything in between. I’m always on the hunt for unique balloons to add that special touch to an event and these are absolutely wonderful! Best part is that they are from the ultimate cheap party resource: Oriental Trading!!!! Making note….now.

What I Wore: Family Day

Every now and then you need a nice reset button: a day spent with family, catching up and realizing what is important in life. It also helped that it was a gorgeous day in South Florida: crisp and cool – something we don’t get to experience a whole lot of. I probably should have worn some pants, but I couldn’t resist this new striped maxi skirt – sorry guys, but I plan on wearing this every day. Deal with it. 😉

Happy Hump Day: Jennifer Lawrence

I hate to be so cliche, but I love me some Jennifer Lawrence. Sure, so does the rest of the world, but I’m pretty sure she’s my best friend in hiding. I mean, the world may implode if we meet so it’s best if we keep things this way, right? Obviously. But in all seriousness, this chick is amazing. Not only can she act like a boss, but she is charming, hysterical and geeky all at once. All it takes is a quick search for “Jennifer Lawrence gifs” to instantly fall in love. That love naturally amplified to an all-time high when she took a tumble at the Oscars, gave the finger to a photographer who mocked her for it and completely lost her shit when Jack Nicholson recognized her.

She is the epitome of imperfection and that’s kind of what makes her perfect.
