What I Wore: Downtown Disney

After our Disney photo-taking extravaganza, we took it easy the following day and just strolled around Downtown Disney and had a few drinks at a nearby brewery. I was so happy to see so many restaurants offering gluten free options (favorite definitely being the GF fish & chips at Raglan Road Pub) – going out to eat is usually a huge struggle for me (honestly, I’ve been avoiding it lately), but it was made so easy on this trip. You really got to give it to Disney for trying to make it a pleasurable experience for all their guests.

Something else I love about Disney? You can dress a little wilder than usual and not get many side glances. Although you may be thinking my outfit isn’t that cray, I assure you it is for typical Miami folk. I always feel like I have to reign in my style (dumb it down so to speak) on days where I just don’t feel like getting those strange looks from people on the street. But not here. Oh no, Disney encourages you to hoist your freak flag and I love it. This outfit was paired with my Mickey ears earlier, but due to some serious gusts of wind, I had to take it off and tuck it in the safety of my purse. I really wish I would have gotten some shots with them on though – I was channeling a modern Minnie Mouse. 😉

What I Wore: Disney World

Like I mentioned yesterday, we went to Disney World over the weekend to take our friends’ engagement photos in various parks. It had been too long a time since I had visited the mouse (Potter has been taking up all my Orlando visits as of late), and I wanted to make sure I showed my love by wearing my awesome, vintage Mickey ears. I also wanted to avoid the usual jean shorts-tank top-fanny pack fare that most tourists wear and put together a comfortable and airy outfit that was still stylish and fun.

What I Wore: Keys Date

The hubs and I do Valentine’s…our way. This usually means something very low-key – remember the IKEA date? Or the stay-at-home foodie fest? Well, this year we decided at the very last minute to drive down to the Florida Keys and just bum around, enjoying the pure beauty of one of our favorite places. And what a perfect day! It was bright, sunny and chilly (we don’t get that trio often), and we were in heaven.

I’ve also finally gotten over my fear of colored denim and have jumped straight to blinding love. I was totally inspired by this Polyvore collage to pair animal print with my new absolutely favorite green pants – and who knew: it worked! I’ll slowly become braver and attempt color blocking in the future, but baby steps for now! I especially loved that I matched with all the local decor. 😉

What I Wore: Pup Getty

Happy Valentine’s Day to my lovely readers! I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with lots of love and happiness, whatever your relationship status may be! The hubs and I celebrated a little early this past Sunday with an impromptu trip down to the Florida Keys (more about that later this week), so today will be just another day for us. But back to the outfit post at hand! Over the weekend, we went over to our friend’s home for a get together to meet their new little (furry) bundle of joy: a 2-month old Boston Terrier named Jasper Finn! As if that wasn’t fun enough, we also had chilly weather, which meant tights(!), jackets(!), scarves(!). And you better believe I did all of the above.

What I Wore: The Kills Concert

The Kills is one of my hubby’s favorite bands…and mine. For his birthday present, I got him tickets to see them in Paris last year during our Europe trip and they blew.us.away. So naturally when we found out they were going to play in South Florida, we had to get tickets once again. Holy hell. Why are they so amazing? Add front row status, and we almost couldn’t handle it. Alison Mosshart is electric, hot, and magnetic (Jamie, you are not far behind, my friend).

Which leads me into why these photos may be a little…well, awkward looking. They were taken outside the venue a couple of hours before doors opened and Alison was literally down the street. I just could not concentrate on my best “fashion blogger stance/face/pose” because the level of cool in the air was raised an infinite amount of notches and I just could not compete. So ridiculous giggles and weird contorted faces resulted instead. Sorry for that.
