For the Love of Art


As my summer came to a close, I tried to make the most of my last week of summer with a trip to a local waterpark and a trip to Zoo Miami to feed some friendly rhinos and giraffes. 





Yet, if there's one thing I did that I absolutely loved, it was deff. taking an adventurous ride through the city with my best friend Syrel to view some of my favorite street art located in the Wynwood District of Miami. 




Wynwood has some of the most beautiful and intriguing street art in the city. Every block is filled with walls of color and stories being told by local artists. Some of my favorite are the Boombox wall and this 3 block wall that tells a comic book story. Luckily, the day we went on this spontaneous adventure I totally looked the artsy street lover part sporting my leggings, cut out jean button down with lace back detail, red spiked loafers and my crazy wavy hair with red stained lips and earrings bigger then my head. 











Button Down : Forever 21, Leggings : Express, Earrings: Electric Boutique, Shoes: Shoe LA

For all my readers who live in Miami, DO NOT miss the art walks in the district every first Saturday of the month. They are so worth it.

Style Week Resort Miami : DAY 3!


Well Style Week Resort Miami has finally come to a close and I bring you the final recap of the last three shows! This day proved to be the best of the three. With the last show bringing a new twist to the ol' runway show technique and not to mention we got a nice swag bag to take home. 


So as always, my outfit for the last night!


Sheer Floral Pants : Forever 21. Top : Forever 21. Bag : Micheal Kohrs. Studded Heels : Wild @ Bakers. 

And now let's get started with the first show of the night. This was the line of Project Runway contestant Janeane Marie. I had high hopes for this line, but it only made me yawn with boredom. The color choice was boring and bland with only black, white, beige and ONE teal piece. Her pieces proved to be just as boring as the colors. With flowy shorts and skirts, a weird peplum piece and lots of short tops it was something that's been done before and nothing orignal. The line also consisted of only 8 pieces. The only thing I liked about this line was an outfit that consisted of some gold flowy shorts. 




Up next, we had Jonathan Joseph Peter's line who was also a contestant on Project Runway. The whole line consisted on teals, oranges, white and yellow. There was tons of lace and the jewelry was gorgeous! The only thing I didn't like was the weird flower print and the outfit choices for men looked like something you'd see the trapeze people wearing at Circus Soleil. There was also this skirt that reminded me of my grandma's drapes, but the top and jewelry on the outfit were on point. Overall an okay line, very few pieces as well. 






Last but not least, we had Alessandra Gold's line. I expected crazy and tacky outfits from what I'd been hearing, but let me say that her show blowed me away. It was fun, upbeat with bright, bold pieces. Not to mention her runway show came with a surprise dance routine which was beyond words. Her line is dedicated to the urban street warriors and it included neons, fringe, tribal patterns and metallics. Her show line was to die for. Alessandra isn't your typical fashion line, but it's different and her vision translated into her show. 






Well that's all for this Style Week. I'm relaxing as much as possible because in 2 short days I begin none other then Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim 2013 and it's a crazy, tiring week! Stay tuned for recaps of all the shows and parties. Until next time my fashion disciples! 


What line was your favorite?

Summer Trend Report 2012

As we start summer, we leave behind our spring threads and dive head first into the new trends! I bring to you today the Summer Trend Report 2012! No girl dares to be caught in last season threads and although a lot of spring trends stuck around, summer brings us some new and fun fashion styles!


Orange: Orange isn’t going anywhere this summer. We saw it all spring and we’re sure to see it all summer. From shirts to dresses to pants we’ve seen this color everywhere. It’s a perfect color to add to any outfit for a splash of color, but you be careful to not overdue it or you’ll look like you stole someone’s prison jumpsuit.






Neon: I am pleased to say the neon trend is also here to stay. This is one of my personal favorites. You can wear it on your nails, shoes, accessories or clothing! Neon is a fun way to show your personality. Neon bathing suits are a perfect idea for summer or get your hands and feet ready with a neon mani/pedi! 

High Waisted Shorts: Vintage style shorts are super in for summer. From shorts with designs or just plain jean, you can wear them to the beach or out on the town with your favorite Jeffery Campbells. You can make your own pair too! Check out my tutorial on em'




Tiny Tops: Tiny tops are a go for this upcoming season. From neon crop tops to bustier style short tops, these are everywhere. You can pair them with a skirt, either long or short or with a pair of those high waisted shorts. 




Florals: Also seen in spring, florals are sticking around. Large, loud flower patterns are all the rage.  Pair some floral shorts with a cute orange button down and your right on trend and super cute! I personally love the floral pants and blazers coming out. Floral pants with a plain crop top and some banging heels and you got yourself a perfect night out outfit. 



Mixing Prints: Step outside your comfort zone with this summer trend. Grab those cheetah flats and pair em’ with your new floral shorts or blazer. Mixing prints is a bit risky, but such a fun way to play with your closet. How about some lace with tribal prints? Or galaxy patterns with animal print? Just make sure the colors all compliment each other and none of the patterns are too bold and all of you can pull this off without any extra effort. 




Pastels: Soft, pastel colors are all over the stores this season! From gorgeous mint green maxis to soft pink skinnys, this is a must have for all the fashionistas. The pastel maxi skirts and skinnys are my personal fav! They are so cute and classy. A pastel bag is also a great way to incorporate the trend.



And there you have it! Your summer trend report for 2012! Get your shopping shoes ready and hit the stores to grab these items to keep your closet summer ready!

Which trend is your favorite?
