What I Wore: Company Dinner

I gave you all a sneak peek of my outfit earlier this week, and here’s the official post! I had a fun dinner scheduled with my boss and new coworkers Sunday evening at Balans on Biscayne. I had a good time getting to know everyone (there are 17 of us!), laughing, eating and refraining from drinking. Yeah, you heard right. I had to turn down glass after glass of champagne because I was on antibiotics – major fail. But at least I looked cute! Now that I know the entire team, I’m definitely looking forward to future get-togethers with this fun group. I hear something about a party bus next time? 😉

Also, this was a great opportunity to show off our cute little terrace! Don’t you just love it? It makes me happy every time I sit out there. Especially when there are drinks and books involved. Just sayin’.

Lovable Friday!

1. Asos Clutch

I am absolutely in love with this color for summer. That gorgeous turquoise green just reminds me of the beach, namely my most favorite place on Earth: the Florida Keys. This portfolio-style clutch from Asos would just cheer up any outfit, hell it would cheer me up everytime I looked at it! Unfortunately, it comes with a hefty price tag, but comfort yourself in knowing that Asos does not charge any shipping rates! Hey, as a shopaholic you always have to find the silver linings!

Summer Finds

So back a couple of weeks ago, I posted about some summer essentials that I was hoping to find while in Chicago shopping at H&M. Unfortunately, I was surprised to see that they didn’t have too many summery options (where were their shorts? fun beach hats?), I was able to score a couple. And since I promised to share with all of you upon my return, here are my recent additions to my summer wardrobe:

I found a fun and flirty bikini at…Target! I loved the color combo and the ruffles! I had been searching for an affordable ruffled bikini ever since first setting eyes on this beauty from Asos. Happy to report that it is officially my birthday bikini – 30 doesn’t look so bad in this little number!

Lovable Friday!

First off, happy July everyone! Its my most favorite month, as it’s my birthday! This year will be a rough one to swallow (the big 3-0), but I still like all the love and festivities that surrounds it, so…bring it on!

1. Gorgeous photo setup

It’s summer time, and that means what better backdrop than the beautiful outdoors for your next photoshoot (make sure to pack a portable fan if you are a fellow South Florida resident)? Although mother nature can be beautiful on her own, these gorgeous props featured above can only help. Seriously, who wouldn’t want to be part of this shoot? Or at least run by and steal a cupcake?

What I Wore: Sightseeing in Chicago

Chicago was absolutely wonderful! I loved it the first time I went back in 2006, but it was definitely nice to go again in warm weather. It was a totally different experience, and I loved every minute of it. We had some really great food, saw some beautiful architecture and enjoyed some seriously delicious weather. I had one day all by my lonesome to explore the windy city (hubby was at a conference), so I had some quality park time, went shopping & walked to & from Navy Pier getting a fair dose of some gorgeous cityscapes. And this is what I wore while doing it:

Dress; Old Navy
Sheer crop top; H&M
Sandals; Gap outlet
Earrings; Forever 21
Assorted bracelets; gifted
Skeleton key; Etsy
Sunnies; Forever 21
Bag; Levi’s
