A Nude Edition

Despite this post’s title, I am not going full-frontal for today’s feature. However, I am sharing one of my favorite looks from this past weekend – an all nude ensemble. As a new and sophisticated “next generation” urban resort, the Miami Beach EDITION hotel is elegantly designed and intricately laced with gorgeous structures and spaces. Upon entering the hotel, it beams with modern luxury in an imaginative light. Therefore, it was the perfect spot to snag some photos at.

What I’m Rocking:

Bodysuit c/o Hot Miami Styles

Skirt by ASOS

Shoes by Christian Louboutin

The Archives

Well, hello Tuesday.

Now that Halloween has passed, I can pull out my everyday costume – black on black. Somehow, I managed to forget a number of looks that were piled up in my blog archives and stumbled upon them as I was growing through my portable drive this morning. Just like that, here we are in another black number. I shot this look about a month ago, wearing a lace one-piece and lace-detailed shorts. T-strap heels elongate the legs and complete the look.

Fit for a Queen

I’ve never quite been a fan of anything with the word “maxi” attached to it – skirts, dresses, pads, etc. However, this maxi dress caught my eye with its peek-a-boo front and sheer material. I love its mobility with shorts underneath, for those moments when I’m running miles in 5-inch heels of course. I’m forever loving an all-black look, and the versatility of this dress is incredible.

What’s one of your current favorite pieces in your closet?

Nudes and Neutrals

Nude and/or neutral pieces have been my solid go-to lately, as they simplify everything and pull a look together effortlessly. I wore this particular look for a yacht outing with MyHabit, and I threw a lightweight trench over a feminine salmon Hot Miami Styles romper and paired it with metallic accents.

Labor Day White

“When you feel good and you’re truly happy with yourself, nothing can get in your way”

Labor Day is approaching, which also means the infamous fashion faux pas of “no white after Labor Day” kicks in as well. Personally, I believe in wearing whatever you feel like throwing on (as long as it makes you conquer the world). In fact, I recently did an interview for an upcoming project that I’m working on, and was asked my opinion on fashion versus style. Fashion is more of the approach to putting together your look and feel, while style is how you carry yourself. Many individuals approach me and ask about certain pieces, claiming that they could “never pull that off.” Confidence is key in every aspect of your life. When you feel good and you’re truly happy with yourself, nothing can get in your way.

Pink Two-Piece Set

If you’ve been keeping up with my blog for awhile, then it’s no surprise that I love a two-piece set for its simplicity and breathability. For the sake of extreme perspiration, this bright pink two-piece short set is a newfound favorite of mine. Mary Brickell Village, a local shopping center near downtown Miami, carries some hidden gems such as this set. Upon reassessment of the area, I’ve found a number of unique pieces ducked off in boutiques throughout.

The downside of wearing a two-piece set or romper on a rather short individual is the mere fact that it appears to give you that “I’m a fourth-grader again” look. However, wearing nude heels helps knock that perception by elongating the legs and adding some height. You’re welcome.

Style Mafia

One of the beauties of residing in Miami Beach is the gorgeous scenery. The Miami Beach Botanical Garden is a unique, subtropic oasis filled with refreshing landscapes and a tranquil aura. In the midst of quite sedative 94 degree weather, I found an appreciation for the beauty that surrounds the vicinity. While I didn’t perspire outrageously, there was a moment when it was a must that I strip off this sheer blazer and rock out in my itty bitty crop top and black pants. However, if wearing a blazer is a must, then this Style Mafia beauty is essential for any Miami closet.

Summer Travels: HotelRED

During a recent stint to Madison, I had the pleasure of staying at the most chic boutique hotel in the area, HotelRED. Nestled across from the University’s legendary Camp Randall Stadium, it most definitely lived up to its reputation as the first stylish boutique hotel and restaurant in the city. My not so small Premier Studio Suite was decked out with contemporary furniture and lighting, gorgeous artwork, a furnished outdoor balcony, well-appointed kitchenette, European spa shower, a living room area for relaxation, and Aveda spa products throughout. For a moment, it felt as thought I was in New York City again.

Aside from the trendy rooms, HotelRED housed a quant restaurant and bar with approachable and sustainable dishes that cater to locals and travelers alike. The dirty martinis and shrimp cocktail were my go-to items. If you know me well, then you also know that a fitness center is a must wherever I travel to, and HotelRED had me covered with state-of-the-art equipment. Needless to say, I’ll be back very soon.

How to be a Stylish Mom: 5 Tips to Chic

It has always been assumed that at some point in my life I would birth a child, but I never expected the journey to be as rewarding as it has been. Of course, once you take on the role of being Super-mom, it’s inevitable that it’s not exactly going to be the easiest job, but it’s all worth it. However, becoming a mom doesn’t mean that your sense of style goes out the window. Let’s face it, you can still be hot and a mom. There’s no rules to this.

My five tips for how to be a stylish mom are:

1) Opt for a chic oversized bag rather than a diaper bag

2) Wear clothing that flatters your body type, rather than elastic waisted mom jeans and sweatshirts

3) A little black dress can go a long way

4) Add bold statement jewelry to a basic white tee and skinny jeans for a polished look

5) If you are wearing minimal makeup, try a bold lip for a pop of color

Although bouncing around in workout clothes all day is fun and all, I enjoy the aspect of putting together a polished look to make grocery store runs (because who doesn’t shop at Whole Foods in embellished heels?). Don’t get me wrong, I definitely have my off-duty mom days, but it’s not an everyday cycle. And being a Miami-based fashion blogger / mama, crop tops are still part of my sartorial elegance, whether anybody likes them or not. In 90-degree weather, I enjoy breathing.

My three-year-old son, Taejin, also lives in sleeveless shirts and denim shorts regularly. He also has a continuous addiction to hats, lots of hats, and Ray Bans.

What Taejin’s rocking:

Hat by H&M

Shirt by American Apparel

Shorts by H&M

Shoes by Nike

Sunglasses by Ray Ban

What I’m rocking:

Top by HMS

Pants by H&M

Shoes by ZARA
