What I Wore: Pool Side

I hope all of you enjoyed the first official weekend of Summer! I got to spend some quality time with friends I haven’t seen in a bit, and then had brunch with the hubs at a local hot spot. I ended it with a 2-hour float in my pool, where I promptly fell asleep (don’t worry, sunblock was applied). Overall, a pretty successful weekend.

Since it was our first taste of Summer, I had to don the unofficial uniform: the maxi dress! Who doesn’t love a good maxi? They make you look classy and stylish, yet feel like an adult pajama. This one especially is so soft, and I love that its tie dye color scheme compliments my swimming pool. It was meant to be.

Geek Chic: Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Batman!

This past weekend, The Fangirl Diaries recorded our 3rd podcast and I’m pretty sure you can tell what our main subject matter was! We had a blast, as always, and despite some technical difficulties were able to deliver another fun discussion about all things geeky in pop culture. I’m kind of obsessed at the moment with pairing a fandom tee and a high waisted skirt. I just think it is so flattering to all body types. This little swingy skirt from Nordstrom Rack does just that perfectly. It’s soft and comfy, which makes it a fabulous go-to when wanting to dress up your geeky look. I’m sure it won’t be the first time you see it on the blog!

Geek Out: Maleficent

As you can all imagine, I was pretty stoked for the premiere of Disney’s Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie. I was there opening night and wanted to make sure I dressed the part. Although the horns pictured were the bestie’s, I think I paid tribute to my favorite Disney villain while still staying geek chic. Unfortunately, Disney did not. I was disappointed in the way they portrayed Maleficent, whom to me is a very powerful female character. However, I’ll stop there. Our full review is posted on The Fangirl Diaries Youtube channel so make sure to check it out!

What I Wore: Tropical Paradise

We’re pretty lucky in Miami. If we drive an hour south, we arrive in The Florida Keys, which is basically paradise. Nothing but blue skies and clear water where time just seems to stop. It’s my absolutely favorite place to be because I can disconnect from all my worries and stressors. The hubs and I haven’t been able to spend any time alone together lately, so it was nice to have a date day in such a beautiful setting.

The occasion obviously called for neons and floral prints. This summer I’m kind of obsessed with high-waisted shorts in loud patterns, so you may see these in many future posts. Sorry, I’m not sorry.

What I Wore: Minty Fresh

The days have been SO stunning here in Miami lately. Bright blue skies, a hint of a breeze and balmy humidity. It is the making of a great summer, and I can’t wait to see what it holds in store for me. Although my heart is still a little dark and stormy, I feel like a new beginning is right around the corner. Unfortunately, life has been more work than play lately, but I hope that will change in the months to come! Lots of vacations are on the itinerary!

This little dress is the absolutely perfect go-to for summer days. It’s light and easy, with such a fantastic pastel hue. In fact, I’d venture to say that it’s impossible to wear it without a smile on your face. Something else that will put a smile on your face?
