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

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

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.

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?

Silk & Lace.

Ever since New York Fashion Week, I’ve been swamped with projects so I have to apologize for my brief hiatus from blogging. The weather has cooled down slightly in Miami, but it’s given me a chance to pull out my fall and winter items. One of my favorite ways to build a look together is to piece various textures or materials together to create a unified outfit. For today’s outfit of the day, I paired a silk flowing dress by BCBG Maxazria along with an edgy belt to cinch it at the waist and lace tights. I added a hint of leopard print to add a bit of fringe to the overall look as well.

A new trend for the upcoming season is the black and white combination, which I am also loving right now. Therefore, I threw on a bold black and white clutch to accent the look and finish it off.

What I’m Rocking:
BCBG Maxazria silk dress
H&M tights
ASOS belt
Steve Madden clutch
Guess watch

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week NYC Recap

Happy Monday everyone! After my trip to New York for fashion week, I am completely exhausted but it was well worth it. For today’s blog post I just want to share some of the highlights from my experience from various events, shows, and meetups. The Timo Weiland menswear show was filled with intricate textures, layers, and bold accents. Although I don’t write about mens clothing often, I was impressed with this line for the particular season. BCBG was one of my favorite shows, as the extensive patterns and pairings were gorgeous. I’m really loving the use of black and white leathers with prominent patterns for this season.

Here is a video clip from the BCBG runway show as well! http://vine.co/v/bnjJVerrQJI?fb_action_ids=795597740708&fb_action_types=vine-app%3Apost&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582

Independent Fashion Bloggers Conference Recap (with Tyson Beckford) #IFBcon

Hey honeys, I’m back in sunny Miami Beach now! My recent trip to New York City for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week NY ended up stretching a little further than planned, as there was a major blizzard (most of you probably already know) that cancelled my outgoing flight. I had an amazing time in the city that never sleeps (and it truly doesn’t – or maybe that was just me). It seems like every time I go to New York, I find something new or another reason why I love that city so much. From the runway shows at Lincoln Center, to fashion events throughout the city, lunches in Times Square, shopping on Fifth Ave, meeting new people and old friends, business and pleasure, it was so much fun.

One of the first things I did in NYC was attend the first day of the Independent Fashion Bloggers conference, which is something I recommend all serious fashion bloggers attend every year. It’s not only a great networking opportunity, but I had the chance to learn from other blogger experiences as well. Benefit Cosmetics, MailChimp, and Fekkai Salon and Hair Products had some fabulous booths on-site, as well as Monster Headphones. I had the pleasure of being selected to do a quick photo collaboration with the suave supermodel Tyson Beckford and another blogger, rocking the Monster headphones in their booth.

Check out the goodies and photo diary of IFBcon below! For those who attended, it was great meeting you and can’t wait for next year.

New Video: Valentine’s Day to Night Looks

Hey lovers! For today’s blog post I have a few Valentine’s Day looks that can be transformed from day to night outfits, whether it is from work to a dinner date or a casual day followed by a night out with the girls. One of my tricks for transforming this look is to rock a romantic dress as a top during the day and then pull it down while removing the skinny jeans at night. To add some flare for the evening, I also added a glitzy blazer and some feminine jewelry as well. I also switched my heels from a neutral tone to a more vibrant color at night. Enjoy, and let me know if you try these out 🙂

What I’m Rocking in the Video:
Daytime Look
H&M peplum blazer
H&M lace dress
Target belt
F21 skinnies
H&M pumps

Evening Look
H&M lace dress
Boutique sequin blazer
ALDO pumps
Guess watch
F21 jewelry
