What I Wore: Modern Katniss

January 13th, 2014 | Posted in Fashion by Meli

This past weekend we were treated to tickets for the ballet, so naturally I was over the moon with excitement. I used to dance when I was younger and was pretty sure I wanted to grow up to be a ballerina. Unfortunately, my grumpy high school self took over and decided I didn’t “have time” for ballet anymore (what teenager doesn’t have time?!?). That is one of my life’s biggest regrets, but I’m glad I at least get to seize opportunities like these to sit back and appreciate it from afar.

Although this outfit doesn’t exactly scream ballet, I loved pairing something simple and feminine like this perfect LBD with something a little more rough and tough like this utility vest. It paralleled my belief that these elegant and beautiful dancers are just as strong and gritty as any warrior.

What I Wore: Holiday Glitz

December 23rd, 2013 | Posted in Fashion by Meli

It’s the perfect time of year to throw on some shiny goodness without apologies. This, of course, means I take it a few steps further by not only wearing glitz, but pairing it with loud prints. In other words, sorry, I’m not sorry.

What I Wore: Art Basel

December 9th, 2013 | Posted in Fashion, Local by Meli

So this past week was Art Basel in Miami, which is a huge art event that has really put us on the map as a cultural center. Despite the headache of increased traffic and an overabundance of obnoxious tourists, it’s always a fun time of year. That may be hard to read on my face on these photos, but I was recovering from a little claustrophobia spell after walking around Context Miami for an hour or so. It doesn’t happen often, but when that crazy anxiety hits, it’s not pretty. I was more than happy to breathe in a little fresh air. Does this mean I’m getting old?

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!
