New Video! Healthy Habits: My Favorite Snacks

It's such a beautiful day outside today that I'm blogging from my balcony just to soak up some of this weather that leaves one with absolutely no complaints (well, except for the sweltering 8lbs of hair on my head).  As summertime approaches, we are all left wondering how we can possibly whip into the best shape of our lives in a matter of two weeks.  A better option is to create a healthy lifestyle where eating healthy and adding a workout regimen is within one's schedule.

Therefore, I decided to share some of my favorite go-to healthy snacks that I have been loving lately.  I've discovered some really healthy (and delicious - no lie) snack options that I eat almost religiously whenever I am hungry in between meals and don't want to reach for junk food.  Most of the items in my video can be found in your local organic food store such as Whole Foods, Trader Joe's or Fresh Market.  I have also listed all of the items that I mentioned in my video as well.  What are some of your favorite healthy snacks?


Snacks that I mentioned in my Healthy Habits: Snacks video:

Annie Chung's Roasted Sesame Seaweed
Organic Cherry Tomatoes
SnaPea Crisps
Choban Plain Greek Yogurt
Naked Tomato Garden Juice
Walnut, Dried Cranberries and Raw Cashew Mix
Mary's Gone Crackers
Laughing Cow Cheese (Garlic & Herb)
Nova Lox Smoked Salmon
Avocado

HIPSTER.

Celebrities Mix & Mingle for a Cause with Laz Alonso + Look of the Day

Hey guys!  It's a rainy day today in Miami, so I'm just sipping my coffee and working from the comfort of my bed.  For today's post I wanted to share with you the look that I rocked for the Celebrities Mix & Mingle for a Cause event which was hosted by actor Laz Alonso (think Avatar, NBC's Deception and Jumping the Broom) at the Shore Club hotel's pool area.  The event was uber chic - complete with a red carpet, LeSutra sponsored cocktail bar, passed light bites, a live performance by Egine, a gifting suite filled with CoverGirl goodies among many other items, and a silent auction.

My dress was by Bebe, and the perfect lightweight piece to wear to an outdoor event in the hot Florida weather.  I paired it with some nude pumps to keep it fairly simple and classic.

What I'm Rocking:
Dress by Bebe
Shoes by ALDO
Necklace by Express

What's in my Beach Bag?

Hey guys!  Since it's prime "spring break" season and everyone is either taking trips or heading to the nearest beach, I decided to film what's in my beach bag.  These are some of my essential items that I take with me when I'm heading to the pool or the beach.  On another note, my beach bag also has kid-friendly items for my little boo boo (for those who don't know - I have a toddler).  This past weekend was extremely hot in Miami so I spent plenty of time at my pool.

What do you keep in your beach bag?

Easter Sunday + Spring has Sprung

Although Easter was last Sunday, I wanted to show you the look that I rocked for that day.  It was the perfect springtime look to wear to brunch, with a mint ombre top (courtesy of 2B by Bebe) that I paired along with some gray skinny jeans and a nude heel.  What I love so much about this top is that is drapes down in the back and remains feminine with the flowing chiffon material yet adds a bit of edge with the studs laced around the collar.

Mint, lavender and coral are my favorite spring tones.  What are some of your favorite colors for the season?

What I'm Rocking:
2B by Bebe top (c/o 2B by Bebe)
F21 skinny jeans
ALDO heels

Betsy Moss Fashion Show at Trump International Resort

Last week I collaborated with Betsy Moss and CoverGirl to showcase Betsy Moss' newest SS 13 collection, which was held at Trump International Resort in Miami.  The line had resort style pieces featuring bold prints, neutrals, and flowing fabric.  My favorite picks were the red one-piece, printed maxi dress with an open back, and the printed one-piece.  There is something about a one-piece/romper that is casual yet chic for any occasion.

For my look, I rocked a spring/summer dress courtesy of 2B by Bebe and it was the perfect dress for a day by the beach.  I love that the top portion is flowing and open while the bottom portion adds a bit of texture with its lace fabric.  The back of this dress is open, so it adds a bit of sexiness as well.  I love pieces that are ultra feminine!

What I'm rocking:
2B by Bebe dress (c/o 2B by Bebe) Here is a similar version
F21 necklace
ALDO shoes
Gifted bracelet

Checkers

Hey guys!  I recently had some events that I've been collaborating on and they were keeping me pretty busy for awhile, but I'm glad I had a chance to shoot a quick outfit of the day for my blog today.  This week, I'll be attending CoverGirl's VIP Winter Music Conference pool party event as well as a fashion show that I've been working on.  I wanted to share this casual daytime look that I rocked today, keeping it chic with a classic blazer and pairing it with bold colors/prints.  I'm also loving the black and white trend for the spring season so I decided to throw on these checker printed shorts by ZARA.  What are some of your favorite trends for the season?
