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.

My Summer Essentials

I adore summer. Not only does it bring my birthday, but it means lighter & breezier clothes and a more laid back attitude. Let’s face it, us Miami girls know how to do this time of year right, and I’m loving all the options this season to both have fun and act your age. I figured it had been a while since I had put together a style collage, so here you go! Two very different looks for two very different vibes: fun, flirty and spontaneous & edgy, sexy and mysterious.

Best part? I’ve constructed both looks to be extremely budget friendly! This gives you more cash in your bank account to put towards that vacation to your favorite sunny destination!

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July, readers! I hope you spend it celebrating with your nearest and dearest by some body of water, enjoying some patriotic spirits (PBR sounds about right). Try not to light yourself on fire, and most importantly, have a blast! We love you, America!

What I Wore: Summer lovin’

The hubs and I had a pretty chill Sunday (I love those). We had to run some errands and were hoping to stop by and eat lunch at the new Sonic Beach in Homestead, but we quickly found out it wasn’t open yet (but it is now). We settled for a quick bite at Chili’s and had some fun later that night with a photoshoot starring both myself and fashion blogger, The Fashionable ESQ! I’ve been anti-jeans lately, and that day was no different. Although it’s absolutely miserable weather-wise most of the time, I really love summer time in Miami. Everyone just feels so much more relaxed, and weekends are all about fun in the sun. It also brings out the maxi dresses, shorts and sandals. Can you say hello comfort?

While trolling the beach over the weekend, I could not help but notice that everyone was rockin’ a romper! I am a big fan of rompers, but mainly when they are on other people besides myself. I just do not think I can pull them off since I think my legs are my weakest feature, but after seeing all the fun, fabulous fashionistas strutting their stuff up and down Lincoln Road, I think I may give one a whirl. Well, maybe after I take up spinning again….

Here are some of my favorites:
