What I Wore: Rock ‘n Roll Lifestyle

Welcome to Miami summers: humid, disgusting and bright. I’m pretty sure the morning these photos were taken, there was hail. Unless, of course, I was having some twisted nightmare. So, naturally, it was a great idea to rock the full on black rockstar look. I’m a Miami native, so I can handle it, but I’m pretty sure the hubs was ready to go on strike!

I channeled my inner Alison Mosshart (I want to be her when I grow up) and played the part of the tortured and cool rockstar. Did I pull it off?

{Trend Swap}: NEON PARTNERS

It’s that time, lovelies!
Unfortunately, we had an odd number of participants, so I had to cancel myself out of the equation to match up everyone else. I won’t be participating in this swap, but hope to be able to the next time around when The Fashionable ESQ hosts!

Thanks to everyone that did show interest – I hope the more we do these, the more bloggers will want to participate. I really think it’s a fun way for all of us to bond and create relationships with each other. Plus, who doesn’t like gifts?

I decided to match everyone up the old fashion way by putting your names in a hat and drawing them randomly (yes, this is how I have fun when the hubs is away on business trips)! And here are the results;

If you want to freshen up on the requirements, here’s the original blog post! & please don’t forget to share your posts with me – I can’t wait to see what everyone receives and how you will all style it!

Double Trouble

Net and I have been friends since we were 14. I believe our friendship really blossomed during a Bush concert, when she yelled at me that I was a “BITCH!” from the stands (due to my floor seat status). Ah, comradery. We have been in each others’ lives ever since. We shared many laughs, tears, and at times, screaming matches, but my favorite moments have been the seemingly mundane. Driving through the city of Miami on chilly days with the windows down in my VW Beetle, having impromptu silly photoshoots around town, playing James Bond on Nintendo 64 in bed. Those are the times I cherish the most, and always will. And despite not seeing each other in a long time, when we met up for this fun photoshoot with the hubs, it was as if no time had passed at all. And that, my friends, is friendship. And I think ours really shines in the photos below:
