What I Wore: Thanksgiving Dinner

December 4th, 2013 | Posted in Fashion by Meli

It was in the high 60′s this Thanksgiving evening, so this means everyone in Miami dug out their jackets, tights and in my case, turtlenecks. It will be one of the few times we will be able to showcase any of our warmer duds so we have to take advantage! I hope you guys had a fantastic Thanksgiving with your family – I know we did! Even better was that my amazing family remembered to make 90% of the meal gluten free. So sweet & thoughtful. My heart and tummy was very happy.

I always want to include my pups in these posts, but they never cooperate (embarrassing dog mommy confession). They are so horrible on leashes, but we were actually able to snap a few with my baby G. Isn’t she just so glamorous?

What I Wore: Baby Blues

November 25th, 2013 | Posted in Fashion by Meli

This weekend I got to hang out with friends (some I hadn’t seen in a very long time) to catch a little fire and pay our respects to our Mockingjay. Yep, we saw the newest installment of The Hunger Games and then caught up in our home with a little wine and maybe a little Sherlock. The movie was absolutely amazing – I love how true to the book they always stay and Jennifer Lawrence is a straight up goddess.

I did not go full fangirl like last time’s viewing, mainly because this blouse was too amazing to not throw on. I mean…the back? It is the perfect amount of subdued sexy. Since I was head-to-toe blue, I had to include some color to break things up. I hadn’t found an opportunity to wear this great over-sized triangle necklace until now – I love the way it gave the appearance of a faux collar. For all those local readers, definitely check out The Sale Rack in The Grove – they have some amazing finds!

What I Wore: Anglophile

September 30th, 2013 | Posted in Fashion by Meli

For those of you that don’t know me, I am an Anglophile. What’s that you say? Well, someone that is obsessed with British culture! I can’t really pinpoint when I became enamored with the English, but I know it has not let up. In fact, we are visiting London for a second time next month (the first was so mind blowing, I cried upon arrival) and have been religiously watching BBC shows for months now (Sherlock is my new favorite). That’s why I had to pick up this adorable skirt. Royals, phone booths and palace guards? YES.

What I Wore: Geometric Goodies

September 26th, 2013 | Posted in Fashion by Meli

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: Brooklyn Bridge

September 23rd, 2013 | Posted in Fashion, Personal by Meli

Sunday was our last full day in NYC. Although it made us a little sad, we realized we had to make the best of it! We had brunch in Brooklyn at Heath Ledger’s restaurant, Five Leaves (yum!), visited the 9/11 memorial (so heavy & moving) and had dinner at the amazingly glutard-loving, Risotteria. I also got to walk the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time ever. What a view! It’s always really hard to say goodbye to this city, and this time was not any different. Miss you, NYC!
