Weekend Highlights

Credit: Facebook

My excitement reached max capacity last week when I discovered that their would be a huge food truck rally basically in my backyard. Although these kind of events happen around South Florida often, they never make their way to my neck of the woods, West Kendall. Much less, of this magnitude. Twenty trucks were advertised to attend – twenty. I didn’t even know we had that many trucks! Needless to say, I spread the word like wildfire on both Twitter and Facebook and began to brainstorm about which trucks would be in attendance.

When I arrived at the location (12975 SW 137 Avenue), I could not believe my eyes. There were cars parked for what seemed like miles and an impressive crowd meandering around a serious group of gourmet food trucks. I instantly felt like a little kid in a candy store. I didn’t know which truck to visit first and was just overwhelmed with goodness. I decided my best plan of attack was to choose the trucks I had not yet tried at previous events. My first stop was Cheese Me. I had their mac ‘n cheese pancakes. Sure, that may seem gross to some, but trust me, they were all sorts of heavenly. Of course, it was the worst option for my sensitive and cranky stomach, but I knew deep down inside that it was worth it. Worth every cheesy bite of awesome.

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 8

January 8th, 2011:

V-neck Tee; Gap
Long tissue tank; Old Navy
Jeans; Gap Curvy
Neon flats; H&M
Flower earrings; Forever 21

We decided to have an impromptu getty at our place with a few friends Saturday night so I had to throw on something quick since I had spent the day in workout clothes. That meant my favorite pair of jeans, and a pair of simple white tees. To not be too horribly boring, I slipped on my loudest pair of flats in neon orange. I decided to include my beer bottle in the pictures because I hadn’t had any beer in a week (!!!), since I have decided to limit my alcohol intake to only weekends. As silly as it seems, it is really working! I’m also pairing a healthier diet with spinning twice a week, so hopefully you will not only see fashion for the next 30 days, but weight loss as well!

Unfortunately, later that night I just so happened to step in doggy dookie and got it all over my adorable flats. It took me a while to notice, so I had gotten it on my jeans too. Why do these things only happen to me? I had to change my outfit half-way throughout the night. Thankfully I was at home!

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 7

January 7th, 2011:

Dress; Forever 21
Lace tank; Marshalls
Footless tights; Target
Flats; Target
Heart earrings; Forever 21

Some chilly weather rolled back into South Florida this weekend, so I was able to break out the tights once more. When I walked out the door, I realized that it was a bit chillier than anticipated so I paired the outfit with a jean jacket from Old Navy that just happened to be in my car’s backseat. I love this floral dress because it has that sexy secretary vibe – it’s low cut, but has a classic silhouette. I usually wear the dress sans under tank, but for the office, I had to cover up. The full skirt made me feel Friday-appropriate: fun, flirty and playful!

Lovable Friday!

1. Pinterest

Although I’ve been a member of Pinterest for a little while now, it just recently hit me how amazing it truly is. I have been a pinning fool. It’s an addiction that I do not want to recover from. I love the idea of having virtual pin boards where I can collect ideas in organized sets. I used to do the same on Flickr, but it was messy and difficult to sort through. This, is so much sleeker and better. Plus, you get to share your pins with others and sort through their pins (and repin similar to Tumblr) as well. Feel free to visit my boards and if it strikes your fancy, say so in the comments so I can send you an invite!

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 6

January 6th, 2011

Sweater tunic; Forever 21
Jeggings; Nordstrom Rack
Striped Wedges; H&M

Yeah, I rock jeggings. And what?
I really don’t understand all the hate surrounding jeggings. I love my pair so much, I went out and got another a month later just so I am always stocked. I think they are a great alternative to skinny jeans, if you are looking for comfort and they look spectacular with tunic tops when paired with heels like I did yesterday.

I adore the vibrant color of this sweater top, and although you can’t see it in the photos, it has this punk-y exposed zipper all along the back. Bad assery. Finally, I really love wedges, but am I the only one that struggles to keep them on? My feet always slip out the back of all my pairs to the point that I walk funny while I’m wearing them because I have to make sure my toes are gripped to the edge. This pair is no different, but I could not help myself. Look how cute they are!

ps; it’s really time for us to put away our Christmas tree, dontcha think? 😉
