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?

What I Wore: Tangerine Tango

It was only a matter of time before I succumbed to the pantone color of the year, tangerine tango. I had seen it on, well everything, and while attending the Fashion Bloggers Event at Neiman Marcus a few weeks back, I decided I had to make it mine. Specifically in pant form. So I scoured the web trying to find an affordable pair of orange pants/jeans, only to find them at Tobi (my new guilty pleasure) for 30% off. I naturally had to have them. And I’m so glad for the impulse buy! They are so vibrant and amazing. I’m warning you all, this will be my summer staple. Sorry if I bore you.

Funny story about my super pretty, light and breezy top pictured. That night, I decided it would be awesome to cook in said fantastic and pretty top. Unfortunately, the oil I was cooking with thought it was amazing as well because it splattered all over it! I had a minor panic attack (I mess up all my new clothes, always), but after a quick hand wash, I was able to save it! Rejoice! You may also see me in this top for the entirety of summer. Anything semi-sheer and lightweight will get a lot of airplay in our 100+ degree heat. Deal with it. 😉

Also, let me just apologize for my face/hair/everything in these photos. I realized it is not the best idea to snap photos right at noon. The sun was burning into my retinas and I had decided it was a really great idea to attempt cutting my own bangs. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.

What I Wore: Collars, Crates & Cuties

I had a little guest in my photos today (that would be the cutie in question)!! We decided to bring along our adorable 7-year-old Boston Terrier, Brad-Pitt, for the shoot. He was recently diagnosed as being obese, so we have him on a strict diet and are trying to get him a little more active. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity! I also wanted to give a little homage to the fabulous blogger, Fancy Treehouse (so excited about her pregnancy announcement).

A lot of exciting things have been swirling around and I hope to be sharing some fun new endeavors with all of you soon!

What I Wore: Sweet Treat Dress

I had such great plans for today’s outfit post, but unfortunately, the Miami weather didn’t feel the same. It was a wicked downpour, so I had to switch things up. Thankfully, an umbrella makes a pretty awesome prop. Although I wasn’t able to show the fun and flouncy aspects of this dress, you will have to trust me. It is just the cutest little number ever. I love the red/pink color combo, its light and airy feel and its fun circle skirt. Who doesn’t like to twirl around in a pretty frock? No one, that’s who. 😉

What I Wore: The Limited Jacket

Outerwear is so fun! I wish we could play with it more often down here in sunny South Florida, but unfortunately, we have two seasons: hot and Mordor. Thankfully, offices tend to be frigid cold so our office wear can include some layering action, which is where this comfy jacket from The Limited comes in! What I love the most about it is that it is very light, which means you can transition from office to happy hour without breaking too much of a sweat (unless you are downing some serious tequila shots). It can also be dressed up or dressed down – I decided to do somewhere in the middle. I am seriously addicted to pops of color. Please never go, trend. I think I love you.
