What I Wore: Geometric Goodies

Geometric prints are really huge this fall as accents on everything possible, so naturally I had to add a piece to my wardrobe. I loved this warm tee because it is so comfy and can go with anything. Although it’s a basic, the print makes it something a little more special. I wore it for a day of pampering at the salon to slightly correct my ombre and then took the look with me to a food truck rally to celebrate Mexican Independence Day. Naturally, the only thing I could eat were macarons. The life of a glutard…. ::sigh::

What I Wore: Travel Duds

I’ve decided that all clothes from Conversation Pieces are the perfect travel duds. They are soft, easy to pack and basically go with everything! This past weekend I visited New York City with my girlfriends and my wardrobe mainly consisted of pieces from the site. I can’t sing their praises enough. Both the hubs and I are headed to Europe next month and I plan on going straight to Conversation Pieces to stock up on all my last minute cold weather items.

Outfits aside, I totally need to gush about NYC and its gluten free options! I never struggled once with meals – everyone was so accommodating and understanding. I figured I would share where I ate each day so that any of my fellow glutards could follow in my footsteps if they visited the Big Apple themselves. On our first day, I had a great dinner at Bistango including gluten free garlic bread (!!!), delicious wine options and seafood pasta. My tummy was so happy. So happy in fact, that the meal carried me through the rest of the evening (complete with 90’s dance party). Success!

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.

What I Wore: Kids & Karting

The past weekend was my nephew’s birthday celebration where we went to an indoor karting venue and both the adults and kids were able to race. I landed myself in LAST place, but still had such a blast participating!!! I knew I had to be comfortable, but still look cute, so I threw on an adorable wrap blouse with a pair of flared jeans and voila! Casual chic achieved. Now if all decisions in life could be so easy.

Can you believe my amazing braided updo from Blo was still in tact the following day? I wish I could just have one of their stylists at my beck & call to make me always look fabulous.
