What I Wore: Tangerine Tango

It was only a matter of time before I succumbed to the pantone color of the year, tangerine tango. I had seen it on, well everything, and while attending the Fashion Bloggers Event at Neiman Marcus a few weeks back, I decided I had to make it mine. Specifically in pant form. So I scoured the web trying to find an affordable pair of orange pants/jeans, only to find them at Tobi (my new guilty pleasure) for 30% off. I naturally had to have them. And I’m so glad for the impulse buy! They are so vibrant and amazing. I’m warning you all, this will be my summer staple. Sorry if I bore you.

Funny story about my super pretty, light and breezy top pictured. That night, I decided it would be awesome to cook in said fantastic and pretty top. Unfortunately, the oil I was cooking with thought it was amazing as well because it splattered all over it! I had a minor panic attack (I mess up all my new clothes, always), but after a quick hand wash, I was able to save it! Rejoice! You may also see me in this top for the entirety of summer. Anything semi-sheer and lightweight will get a lot of airplay in our 100+ degree heat. Deal with it. ;)

Also, let me just apologize for my face/hair/everything in these photos. I realized it is not the best idea to snap photos right at noon. The sun was burning into my retinas and I had decided it was a really great idea to attempt cutting my own bangs. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.

1. Trina Turk for Banana Republic

I spotted this awesome collection thanks to the dear Rosy of Accidental Sexiness! It’s so beautiful, fun and summer! My favorites are the assymetrical bold print dress to the left & the white crisp blouse paired with the black and white pencil skirt. Can you say gorgeous?? It’s the perfect ensemble for those lazy summer days strolling on Lincoln Road. Summer dreamin’ for real.

What I Wore: Collars, Crates & Cuties

I had a little guest in my photos today (that would be the cutie in question)!! We decided to bring along our adorable 7-year-old Boston Terrier, Brad-Pitt, for the shoot. He was recently diagnosed as being obese, so we have him on a strict diet and are trying to get him a little more active. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity! I also wanted to give a little homage to the fabulous blogger, Fancy Treehouse (so excited about her pregnancy announcement).

A lot of exciting things have been swirling around and I hope to be sharing some fun new endeavors with all of you soon!

1. Macarons

I think the one defining moment of my time spent in Paris was eating macarons. Sure, the city was breathtaking, sure it’s the birth place of fashion, but for me, it was all about the macarons. Visiting LaDuree was the highlight. My mouth has never exploded into a million pieces when I have eaten something before, and it happened with each and every colorful little macaron. Ever since, I have been dying to find a French bakery in Miami that can replicate that beautiful feeling. Any recs, local readers?

What I Wore: Sweet Treat Dress

I had such great plans for today’s outfit post, but unfortunately, the Miami weather didn’t feel the same. It was a wicked downpour, so I had to switch things up. Thankfully, an umbrella makes a pretty awesome prop. Although I wasn’t able to show the fun and flouncy aspects of this dress, you will have to trust me. It is just the cutest little number ever. I love the red/pink color combo, its light and airy feel and its fun circle skirt. Who doesn’t like to twirl around in a pretty frock? No one, that’s who. ;)

Retail Therapy & So Effing Cute Winner!

I told you this would be a new feature on the blog. Sigh.
Here’s what I’ve managed to pick up this week;

BaubleBar Neon Bib Necklace
I’m pretty sure I’m obsessed with their weekly Buried Baubles. For those of you not in the know, they reduce one item on their site to a frugal $10 if you can find it. I’ve been searching and buying for a solid 3 weeks now. ::hangs head in shame::

Miami Fashion Bloggers Night Out

I had a great time at Fashion Bloggers Night Out hosted by Annie Vazquez (The Fashion Poet) at Neiman Marcus last week. It was my first time attending an event like this and even though it was a bit intimidating (there are so many fashion bloggers in South Florida!), it was great to listen to the panel’s blogging advice and to see some familiar faces. I especially loved the fashion show, where I instantly fell in love with this year’s it color: orange.

I’m now pretty sure I need a pair of bright orange pants (Tobi has some great ones) to pair with some nice breezy blouses for summer! I’m also loving all the patterns, and of course, color everywhere. I hope it stays.

1. Fringe Leather Necklace

Oh the color! Oh the sassy! I love everything about this fun fringed necklace from Etsy seller, BooandBooFactory! With all these serious pops of color being seen over and over again in fashion, I think this would be a novel way to rock the trend. Pair it with a LBD or with a slouchy neutral top for that extra pow!

{Giveaway}: So Effing Cute

Something I don’t share nearly enough on this blog is my level of geek. It’s pretty high. Especially when it comes to my fandoms, one of which is all things Harry Potter. This is why I nearly passed out & died when I stumbled on So Effing Cute‘s Etsy shop while browsing for bachelorette gifts. Debbie’s items stretch from sweaters to panties dedicated to the world of nerd (Potter, LOTR, The Hunger Games & Star Wars just to name a few), but her deathly hallows crop tee really got me good. I had to have it!

I especially loved that I was able to pair the crop with my temporary dark mark tattoo (also from Etsy)! You wish you were as dorky as I am, admit it!
