Miami Heat

The weekend is creeping around the corner, which means it’s time to paint the town red. As another week discontinues, stepping out in a complete black ensemble is an absolute essential look for any woman. When in doubt, pair something leather with a red lip and trek on. One can’t go wrong with a Rita Ora signature lip and black on black. One of my favorite aspects of residing in Miami Beach is the option to wear spaghetti-thin strapped tops and thigh-baring leather skits only a few short days after New Year’s. It’s quite grandiose if you ask me.

This sexy skirt ℅ of Hot Miami Styles is a new favorite of mine, as it bares a little skin without sacrificing your dignity and allows for flexibility. Attempting to walk around Miami Beach in a pencil skirt can be next to impossible, but the high slit on this one keeps it comfortable.

What I’m rocking:

The Skirt Trick

Oddly enough, I’m sitting at my laptop, with a pile full of Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Speculoos Cookie Butter Cups as I blog my life away at 1:04 A.M. Obviously, what else would one be doing at such a time? Cyber family – I have come to a realization that I failed to post anything in almost a week, which is highly unlike me. Although I would like to place the blame on my presence at home, visiting family. Yes, that sounds like a good excuse. I’ve also taken on the role of posting a new video every day of December on my video channel, which seemingly takes up more time than expected when I initially had this grand idea in my head. Nonetheless, I like to stick to my word so I shall push forward.

As I sit in the 40 degree weather, enjoying the 10 degree increase since the past week, I recall this look that I shot back in Miami prior to traveling up here. If you grew up in the 90’s, this dandy little wonder called a skort, was all the rage. What could possibly be better than a skirt that ultimately remains shorts? This skirt trick has a sexy edge without looking ridiculously crazy.

What I’m rocking:

Top by ZARA

Blazer by Macy’s

Skort by EXPRESS

Shoes by Me Too

Bracelet by Kate Spade ℅ Nordstrom

Hat ℅ ASOS

Bag ℅ GUESS

Sunglasses ℅ Italia Independent

Valentine’s Day is approaching, which means the anticipated question of “what should I wear” pops up. Although the standard red and pink attire is holiday appropriate, a chic alternative is to opt for a black one-piece or romper. I picked up this one-piece from H&M and I love the fit because it fits loosely while it’s still a little sexy with its deep side plunge at the arm openings. For a similar look, check out the Cameo Run to Me jumpsuit as well.

This particular look can be worn as is or throw on a sequin blazer to glam it up a bit for the evening. Another option would be to rock it during the day with a floral blazer and boots to make it suitable for the workplace or school.

To add a chic element to the overall look, I’ve paired the one-piece with a gold hardware necklace and Kate Spade bracelet that clasps at the front for a feminine touch. The two-toned BCBG heels give it an elegant look that polishes off the outfit and gives the look some height.

Although my outfits are typically dressed up, I decided to play around with the sporty look and feel for today’s look of the day. Focusing on these paneled House of Dion pants, I went for a more structured approach by cinching layered tops at the waist with a leather belt by ASOS. The cinched belt adds a feminine touch that creates a balance between sporty and chic.

This look is really great for those who have a smaller frame because it accentuates the top and hip area to give a curvaceous appeal. My inspiration for this look derives from my love for health and fitness, which I really wanted to merge into a uniform outfit. Pairing a sporty piece such as paneled pants, a sporty skirt or shorts with a feminine top can really create a polished look.

Video: How to Transform from Summer to Fall Fashion

It’s official – the time has come to bury summer fashion. However, there are ways to transform your summer wardrobe into fall-worthy looks as well. For example, basic tees or tanks can still be worn during the fall season by adding layered pieces such as chunky sweaters or denim button-up shirts with a leather jacket. Shorts, skirts and dresses can still survive by throwing on a pair of thick tights underneath them with some tall leather boots.

The essential items can easily be transformed from season to season by simply layering and learning how to switch pieces in and out of your looks. Many people used to think that I had so many different items of clothing in my closet when I was in high school or college when I just learned how to utilize what I owned to create different looks.

Check out my new video showcasing a summer to fall transformation that I put together with Warhon Media which features pieces by Urban Outfitters, H&M, ZARA, 2B Bebe, Steve Madden, and Forever 21 :

OOTD: Sapphire Waves.

What could possibly be better than 85 degree weather in December? Although I would love to wear layers and boots for the winter season, I can’t really complain about being able to rock my shorts and sleeveless tops still. If you live in gorgeous weather then you may also be looking for other ways to sport fall/winter fashion as well. In Miami, girls tend to throw on scarves and boots (as if we have cold weather) so I paired some simple black booties with today’s look of the day. Adding booties to an outfit can make it more fall/winter appropriate.

I’m looking forward to spending some time up north for the holidays so I’m just doing some last-minute shopping and getting everything together before I head up there. It’s the one time of year where I pull out my coats and tall boots! What are you doing for the holidays this year?

What I’m wearing:
BCBG top
Kate Spade bracelet
F21 shorts
Steve Madden booties

Private COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss Revealing

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you enjoyed the weekend. FUNKSHION Fashion Week has ended so I thought I’d share one of my recent events that I had the pleasure of attending. I was invited to a private event for the new COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss which was held at The W Hotel South Beach. Myself along with other selected Miami fashion bloggers had the chance to get our nails done with custom designs by celebrity manicurist, Mar y Soul Inzerillo, that were inspired by the 2013 Custo Barcelona’s Spring-Summer collection showcased on the runway by Custo Barcelona for Vanidades Magia de la Moda 2012.

What would a manicure be without cocktails and delicious treats as well? The W Hotel catered a lavish spread for us to nibble on while we compared nail designs. I chose the nail design featuring Mint Mojito (#285), Go-Go Mango (#245) and Peaches and Cream (#125). They even created custom cocktails based on each nail gloss shade! How fab is that? To complement our manicures, we could choose an accessory courtesy of Nordstrom’s as well. I selected some arm candy with gold detailing by Kate Spade.

The new collection will be released November 1st, 2012 so I’ll be picking up a few of my favorite shades of course.
