Lovable Friday!

1. Ombre sneaks; It’s no secret. I love all things ombre, especially when they come along with a DIY challenge! The uber talented Gissi, of The Architect of Style, broke down the steps of how to achieve perfectly rose petal dipped canvas shoes, and I have to say, this looks like something I can give a whirl. Maybe I should wait until after I finish my year long studded sneaker DIY, huh? Ha.

2. Donut piñata; Homer Simpson would be so proud. Although I’m pretty sure I’d never be able to DIY my own piñata, this one is just so cute it hurts. Definitely for those with a sweet tooth, it would be a perfect detail to any fiesta. If anyone tries it, definitely let me know!

3. Gold dot shower curtain; While shopping for a new shower curtain (life is super exciting these days), I stumbled on this amazing one. Unfortunately, it is no longer available (& had an outrageous price tag anyways), but it would have added such a touch of kitschy class to our master bathroom. Everything happens for a reason though: I was able to find an even better (& affordable) one that fits in perfectly with our mermaid/sea theme. Details soon!

4. Gold leaf barrette; Speaking of gold, this beautiful hair clip is the perfect accessory to jazz up any outfit. I honestly think it would even make a gorgeous bridal hairpiece for a boho chic wedding!

5. Lime Crime’s Babette; I’ve been on a Lime Crime high lately (hello unicorn packaging!), and have been obsessively stalking their new products. Babette had been in the works for some time, and now that it has been released, I need me one. Too bad I waited too long and it is now sold out. Drats.

What I Wore: Wynwood Sunday

Although the thought of Monday slowly creeping up beyond the distance can ruin any Sunday, they may be my new favorite. The hubs and I usually have a date day, try something new and explore. Although the Wynwood neighborhood is not new for us, I tried Panther Coffee for the first time (I don’t think I’m hipster enough to hang there) and finally got to try Taqueria (yay for corn tacos that don’t make me sick). The sun was blazing something fierce, but thankfully this super comfy silk dress kept it light and fresh. Paired with my new favorite surplus vest, I kind-of-maybe played the part of ultra cool hipster. 😉

What I Wore: Nerdy Chic

Yeah, I’m one of those people that wear glasses without any need. I remember staring at all the girls that had glasses growing up and being envious. One in particular stands out in my memory with red frames (a la Sally Jessy Raphael) that I was particularly jealous of. I guess I’ve just always been a fan of over accessorizing. 😉

In other news, I hope no one minds, but I’m just going to rock maxi skirts every day for the rest of the year. Cool?

What I Wore: Rock ‘n Roll Summer

The hubs has been traveling a lot for work lately, so when we get time to ourselves, we really relish in it. On this day, while sitting on a bench in front of our favorite French bakery eating macaroons, I told him, “I love you now more than ever.” We will be 11 years together in a few weeks, and 6 years married in November, yet now is when my love for him seems overpowering. Is that something that some of you readers have experienced? Not that I didn’t love him before of course, but I am now feeling an even deeper connection after all these years.

Life is pretty spectacular, people.

What I Wore: Pastels

As usual, I am trying my best to hold on to what is left of summer. Sure, you can say that Miami is in perpetual summer all year round, but there is something special about the true summer months. There’s something in the air, and no, it’s not just humidity. It feels like a little bit of magic, a little bit of youth and a whole lot of beauty. So in my attempt to hold on to all those feelings, I threw on a variety of pastel hues and basked in the sunshine. Well, at least for a few minutes before I felt like I couldn’t breathe in the severe heat. Ah, Miami.
