Firmoo Giveaway!

firmoo

I’m sure you have spotted my Firmoo glasses in many an outfit post here on the blog (if not, you can see some of them above). I absolutely adore their frames because they offer both traditional and fun options at such affordable prices. Now, I don’t actually need glasses so I use them as purely a fashion accessory, so I can’t comment on them in terms of functionality, but I do love the way they look, their sturdiness and their ability to really help me seal in some geek chic looks.

So would you like to have your own pair from this amazing collection?
Yeah, I thought so.

Entering is so, so easy!

  • Leave a comment on this blog post stating which pair you would choose and why
  • Add me on Instagram & Twitter
  • Giveaway will run for 1 week (from September 23rd-September 30th) & at that point, a winner will be chosen at random

Super Kawaii Fall {Lace & Lore}

Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset

Now that it is Fall (well, for everywhere but South Florida), you may think you have to transition to darker shades and tones to fit the season. I say NAY. Thanks to stumbling on the wonderful geeky ladies behind Lace + Lore, I come to show you otherwise. Fall can be full of fun, whimsy and some serious pops of color. How can you do it? Simple! Just check out how I transitioned these 3 great pieces into Fall staples!

Ice Cream Skirt

I am loving this way too kawaii for its own good ice cream skirt paired with a more subdued and classic denim blouse. Make sure you button it all the way to the top and accent it with a bold statement necklace. Paired with fun boots and a warm hat, you are ready to brave the cooler elements. If it gets really chilly this time of year where you are from, just throw on a leather jacket or compliment the look with a pair of fun tights!

What I Wore: Dainty Avenger

Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset

I’ve been feeling very feminine lately as my bump grows in size. With Luna a little over a month away, I am really playing up my new figure and having so much fun with what’s already in my closet. Naturally, things get a little more fun when I’m able to get some geekery in on my daily looks. I am a sucker for girly touches, and one of my favorite details is a Peter Pan collar. I am instantly drawn to any top or dress that sports one, so naturally this Avengers Assemble tee from Her Universe was the perfect addition to my wardrobe. It’s nice, soft and stretchy, which is much appreciated during pregnancy and allows for a lot of high-waisted pairings, such as one of my favorite tulle skirts. Once the two are together, it just screams girly kitsch, so obviously I had to finish the look with a frilly headpiece.

And yes, this is my bedroom. It’s becoming harder and harder to pose outdoors the farther I get in my pregnancy. I overheat and feel super weak, so you may see some changes to my style posts in the weeks to come! I’m also trying out photographing myself with a tripod, which has been challenging, but also freeing. Let me know what you think!

Le Clé Jewelry

I am so happy I found out about a company like La Clé (“the key” in French). They are a wonderful little organization based in Washington DC that wants you to focus on the positive. They provide key necklaces in different colors – each one representing something different. You are encouraged to wear your key and really hone in on those sentiments and embrace their meaning. As the color on the key fades, you will have a naked key. If you post a picture of your now naked key on social media (#nakedkey), La Clé will make a donation to the charity of your choice! How absolutely amazing is that???

Although it was hard to choose, I ultimately went with the orange key, which symbolizes unstoppable and focused. As I’ve mentioned several times on my blog lately, I have felt so inspired to go for my dreams and make things happen. They may be baby steps right now, but I have big-time goals and I KNOW I will achieve them. Having this key around my neck will definitely be that daily reminder to continue pushing for what I want out of life. As for the charity I will choose when my key goes naked, La Clé’s donation will have to go to Autism Speaks.

What I Wore: Jedi Academy

So I know what you may be thinking. Fall? Miami doesn’t have seasons. Isn’t it summer year round? Yes, my friends. This is true. But something happens naturally within me around this time of year, and sure enough, it happened again just a couple of weeks ago. The second the calendar flips through to September, something within me changes. Something just feels a little different and I know it’s that time of year: FALL. Time of pumpkin spice, less rain and better clothes.

Her Universe has definitely gotten the “better clothes” memo because their new Fall items are amazing. Now I haven’t gone “back to school” in what seems like ages, but this varsity style Jedi cardigan would be my go-to if I was still roaming those halls. It is absolutely adorable as it is lightweight, so it’s perfect for the early Fall months if you actually get real seasons or year round for us Miami-ans. It also looks great paired with your typical Fall colors like olive green and mustard, which I am rocking in this post. I decided to go for a full blown homage to Star Wars, so I swiped my hubby’s awesome baseball cap and the outfit instantly reminded me of attending a sporting event with cold beer in hand. MMmmm, beer. I will have you soon enough.
