Must be that Fall feeling

Ever sit back and realize that things are really good at the moment? I mean, things are always hectic and my life will never be chilled and calm due to family health issues, but recently I have really felt like my routine is solid and things are so good. I think it’s important to reflect and really take in the peace when you feel it because lord knows life can take drastic turns when you least expect it. Right now? I’m real happy. And whenever I feel that, I like to put it out into the universe and appreciate it because I think it’s a pretty special thing, to be happy. Don’t you?

Boohoo: Back to School

You know, this definitely shows my age but I am loving this 90’s trend in fashion these days. The other day, I went shopping and it brought a really big smile to my face to see things I used to lust over as a teenager but clearly could not convince my mom to buy. Hours and hours sifting through the latest Delia’s catalog and circling my favorites, which then led to calculating how much the grand total would be. It was always hundreds and hundreds of dollars (shopaholic since birth). It has been really strange being able to nab stuff off my teen wishlists, but I have to say, it’s been a complete trip to get to wear things from my youth.

I especially love the back to school collection from Boohoo because it looks like it came straight from Cher Horowitz’s closet, and I am so down with that. Like, if you were a 90’s teen and didn’t emulate her, were you even a 90’s girl? I personally wished that I had her revolving closet (and still do to be honest), but looking through this collection was the next best thing. I am beyond obsessed with these overalls, and I’m sorry for all my readers because you are going to see them over and over and over again. Can you imagine them paired with Mickey ears? Ugh, I can’t.

Modcloth Fall Collection

It’s not every day you get to work with one of your favorite brands, and I think the universe sent me a side wink when I got an opportunity to do just that with ModCloth just weeks into launching the blog again.

Their Fall line is absolutely incredible and I loved running around Miami Beach with my amazing friend + photographer, Lissette, to get some ultra fun shots in these rad outfits. I mean – raptor sweater? I’m all in.

Harry Potter Target Event

Being a geeky mom, it’s hard to come by geek-centric events in Miami that are appropriate for the kiddos too, but leave it to Target to do the job. Firstly mamas, did you know that Target has kid friendly events scheduled every month? Check and see what they are and what stores near you participate here. This month was Harry Potter themed, so you know the bestie and I trekked to a Target 15 minutes away just to attend (our home Target wasn’t participating – such muggle behavior).

Everyday Gryffindor

It comes as no surprise that I often wish the world J.K. Rowling created would come to life, so I seize any opportunity to attempt to make that happen. By some sort of magical miracle, Miami hosted a Potter Bar Crawl this past weekend and I knew I had to go. Cocktails and wizardry? I mean, could anything have my name written all over it more?

I wanted to be comfortable since we would be on our feet all night, but also wanted to channel my house. I thought putting together an outfit that a Gryffindor would wear any day outside of school would be best (although props to all those that went full out robes in 80 degree weather).

I had a great time, and hope that we get more geeky-inspired bar crawls in the future. It seemed pretty successful so I have hope that our geek scene will only continue to grow!
