What I Wore | Baby Shower

I am always drawn to loose dresses – it’s my conflicting desire to both look feminine but be comfortable, I guess. I am aware they do not always flatter my figure (I have one, I swear. It’s under there!), but I can’t help myself. So naturally this pretty little plum number caught my eye while browsing through the new sale site, SeenOn. I was excited to be able to wear it for my friend’s baby shower this past weekend and had fun pairing it with some sky-high wedges and sparkly accessories. I had a great time at the party, but somehow managed to catch the bangles on the dress causing multiple tears. So upsetting! I hate when I damage clothes on the first wear. Why am I so accident prone!

Lovable Friday!

1. Derby Lite

This concept is just killer. I am always looking for new, fun and unique ways to work out. Unfortunately, bobbing on an elliptical machine for 45 minutes just does not do it for me. I get bored and restless at about the 6 minute mark. Cue Derby Lite! It’s a workout based on roller derby, only without the aggressive hits. Each 2-hour workout includes off-skates conditioning, dynamic warm-ups, on-skates skills and drills, upper body strength exercises and cool-down stretching (aka; not boring). Unfortunately, Derby Lite is not offered in Miami (wah!), but you can submit a form requesting that your city be added. I did, and you should too!

What I Wore | St. Patrick’s Day

Since a few of you expressed that you didn’t want me to stop my outfit posts, I decided to occasionally feature one from time to time. It’s very time-consuming to make these kind of posts every day, so I totally give all my favorite fashion bloggers major props for the dedication.

But I digress.
On St. Patrick’s Day, I was inspired by the lovely Kendi and her recent jean stylings. I adored how she was able to pair exaggerated flares with a tucked in top; something I had never thought of doing…until now! I also attempted to rock the messy “sex hair” – AKA; I was too lazy to straighten my hair. Don’t know if I was able to pull it off though – I think it looked more like I needed to be gifted a brush.

Lovable Friday!

1. Leather bow cuff

Forget Beyonce’s advice, I’d like to put a bow on it. On everything! I adore bows, and this cute leather cuff makes me swoon! It also comes in pink, but there is just something so lovely about this blue hue. It would look great paired with skinny jeans and a neutral tank!

Suits Me Just Fine

Being born and raised in Miami, a kid learns to feel as comfortable in a bathing suit as in their own PJ’s. I had my first bikini before I could walk, and my love for a good suit has not subsided. My goal for this summer is to spend more time at the beach (believe it or not, I have not laid on the sand for a very long time), and in our new pool (it’s getting a face lift sometime in the next couple of months), so it’s imperative for me to stock up on some new & hot bathing suits!

Here are some of my favorites:
