What I Wore: Go Jane Wedges

With weddings comes a lot of events, which means a lot of outfits! This can get pretty painful on your wallet pretty quickly, but that’s where budget shopping comes into play! This outfit, which is totally one of my new favorites, was under $60! My absolute favorite part of it were the shoes (big surprise). I don’t know if you all remember, but I had have a slight obsession with these Aldo wedges. I wanted them in every color, but with their current price tag, I would be lucky if I could swing one. That is, until I saw these super similar ones at GoJane.com for a quarter of the price! They come in a wide array of fun summer colors as well, and are very comfortable. Take it from me: I was wearing them for 12+ hours this day and I didn’t want to saw my feet off (always an accomplishment).

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?

Miami Fashion Bloggers Night Out

I had a great time at Fashion Bloggers Night Out hosted by Annie Vazquez (The Fashion Poet) at Neiman Marcus last week. It was my first time attending an event like this and even though it was a bit intimidating (there are so many fashion bloggers in South Florida!), it was great to listen to the panel’s blogging advice and to see some familiar faces. I especially loved the fashion show, where I instantly fell in love with this year’s it color: orange.

I’m now pretty sure I need a pair of bright orange pants (Tobi has some great ones) to pair with some nice breezy blouses for summer! I’m also loving all the patterns, and of course, color everywhere. I hope it stays.
