Be There in a Prosecco

I’m so grateful to be able to attend events as a fashion blogger and getting to experience new places, new things. I was able to attend an event at the Hyatt Centric South Beach that Y100 hosted for the IHeartMedia event. The hotel is beautifully put-together and located in the heart of South Beach on 16th and Collins. I have to be totally honest, I went through numerous outfits before I came across this little number and it wasn’t a easy process. When I went back for the second time to the Agaci store, I was clueless until I came across this skirt – the structure of the skirt is unique and had everything in one. From the olive color (which is so in for the fall season), to the pockets and the tie around belt … and of course, that slit right in front of the skirt. For the top, I took a risk and was a little hesitant on the color only because red isn’t a fall color but once again, pat on my back because this color combo was knocked out of the ball park. The lace detailing on the shirt is perfect and also, not too sheer so I was able to wear a nude bra. I went simple for the shoes and stuck to my nude Steve Maddens (so comfy), the clutch was also nude to have the focus remain on the top and skirt. Hopefully everyone can stop by the Hyatt Centric South Beach and enjoy a cocktail in the lounge area over looking South Beach. Stay tuned for more fall looks!

P.S. Sorry for the pictures, we had a little mishap and had to use an IPhone to take pictures but they still came out awesome!!! Thank you Jessica, of course the best ever.

Very in this Spring and Summer has been the denim overalls and romper trend. Not just saying it because it’s one of my go-to looks, and because it just so happens to be the easiest outfit for me to put together. Not every shade of denim can be paired together to make a Texas tuxedo, it takes the right shades of denim to make it work and work right. So when I came across this denim romper in Marshalls, the image that popped into my head was the show “That’s 70 Show” something Mila Kunis would wear back then (lol). This trend is very in and I believe it’s going to stick around just like the birks, and wide leg pants have! I went for this outfit because it’s so Miami-summer appropriate not to mention it can totally be transitioned into fall, as well. I went with nude lace up heels to dress it up and give it more of a modern yet old feel. Threw on a floppy hat because it called for the occasion and my huge purse and called it a day. This is a look I would totally rock, it’s very groovy and so me (haha).

Basic Festival Bitch

I know this is harsh but it’s true and I’m here to help those girls that don’t want to go as dressed up to festivals and think crop tops and just shorts are going to do. If you think neon colors, pasties, bodysuits, high tops, graphic 90’s tee’s are festival material – you’re half way wrong! Unless you attend Ultra, that’s a whole other story because then that’s some what acceptable.
So I decided to take the basic essentials and dress those up just a tad and make a chic-yet-boho look. Crochet or lace are a must for me… it’s probably the only occasion I can wear those and not to mention this shirt is crochet, off the shoulder, and cropped. Instead of going for high wasted jean shorts, I switched it up and added color by wearing colored shorts. Since this post is mainly for Coachella Weekend 2, day 2 or 3 – I added a floral headband (which is inexpensive and gives it that final touch) that brings the entire outfit together perfectly.

So with this look, I went for camel-colored snake skin print booties, they are totally fab and not to mention Kendall Jenner wore all snake skin booties this year to Coachella! Add some circle sunnies and your going from “basic bitch” to Basically Fab!

See you all next year at Coachella and in your cute outfits,

Coachella Fashion

Oh Coachella, Coachella … how I wish I was attending this year! Not only have I missed weekend #1, I’m now missing weekend #2 too but no worries, promise that next year this bug will be attending!!! Any who, onto the mean style games that these fierce Coachella/Festival chicks pull out – Coachella is pretty much King when it comes to “Festival Fashion” so why not look your best?20150413-RIV_0728

Just because I didn’t attend Coachella this year doesn’t mean I didn’t make my own Coachella while shooting these looks. I brought a speaker to the shooting site and started jamming to Tove-Lo on Pandora the entire time. Jessica Rivas, my photographer, loves when I become playful because it makes for better pictures so I did just that lol. When you think of Coachella, you think of: lace, crochet, fringe, chunky jewelry, killer sunnies, crop tops, and shorts.

I went with an all black look for this years day #1, black overall shorts and the best part about these overalls are the bottom! They have lace trimming ahhhhhhh. I paired them with a black crop top and a crochet, long cardigan which in my opinion adds that Coachella boho vibe. Fringe is a must (duh) but really, what about these Madden knee-length fringe gladiators? Are they perfect or are they perfect?! (lol). Thanks to my mommy for these, they were perfect as a birthday gift, Kisses to my Queen.

Accessories: Every girls fave! I went with a very chunky, statement necklace – so right for this look. I put on all the rings I could find, okay… lying I have a lot more but went with the most appropriate ones lol. Obviously my floppy hat called for the occasion, it’s perfect for this look and my John Lennon glasses – as I call them – which adds to the boho/hippie vibe.

Hopefully, this helped all my love bugs attending weekend #2 of Coachella or this can help you all for next years outfit! Trust me, none of these will go out of style for next year.

AMA’s Best/Worst Dressed

Fashion, celebrities, and designers … what more can a fashionista ask for on a Sunday Funday? Sunday, 24th of November, was the American Music Awards (AMA’s). Yes- I love watching the award show, but my favorite part is the red carpet. Celebrity watching and deciding who, in my opinion, gets best dressed and who gets worst dressed.

Best Dressed:  Well, I had a total of 4 girls for best dressed. These girls totally hit it out of the ball park with their stunning gowns and hot bods. There was definitely more than just 4 that looked beautiful but these are the ones who stood out for me.First lady with the #1 spot for best dressed, Fergie Fer. Showed off her killer legs while dressed in a black halter Halston Heritage dress with a side cut-out and gold belt.#2 is obviously JLO! Baby pink, silk bandage cutout dress from designer Reem Acra. She paired the dress with sparkly, pointy-toed stilettos and a sparkling gold box clutch. #3 Kate Beckinsale astonished me in a bright white Kaufman Franco gown. The glamorous gown was beautifully styled with a sparkling snake necklace and a metallic Lee Savage clutch. #4 Selena Gomez with both her red carpet and performance dresses she nailed it. Selena Gomez looked amazing in a long-sleeved, off the shoulder Giorgio Armani Prive black gown. When she turned around she revealed an unexpected hint of skin thanks to the fact that the dress was entirely backless with her hair in a bun, and statement earrings. Selena opened her performance with the opening monologue of her music video before the lights came up and revealed Selena in a beautiful pale pink dress. 

Nick Jonas didn’t fail to bring out his sophisticated side either, stepping out in a double-breasted striped suit by Armani. He walked the red carpet in a stylish suit, which was double-breasted to the extreme with eight buttons. Terrence J from E news and previous host of BET was my #2 best dressed for the guys. Super simple and traditional in Z Zegna, he looked crisp and kept it elegant with a deep purple suit.

Now on to worst dressed, I picked a total of 2 girls and 1 guy. Belona Qereti, what mirror or what friend would let this lady walk out the house with this? Not a real one! (lol). Skylar Grey … really Skylar? With that drop dead gorgeous voice you could have been just as evenly beautiful with a gown on, or even a pant suit. For the boys, oh Jesus, Ansel Elgort. Why couldn’t you get a tux that fit? That outfit was all kind of wrongs in so many ways- his stylist needs to get fired!

Fall in Line

Hello love bugs it’s been a while again and I’m so sorry I’m always late on posting but my life just gets crazier and crazier by the second seriously. So while rummaging through my “shopping mall” which my friends just so happen to call my closet that lol, I found this hot little number! This look is so me, you can rock this on a dinner date, bar hopping night, basically anything that has the words night life written all over it.
imageimage

imageimageimageimageimageimageimage Distressed denim, surprise surprise I wasn’t lying when I said I crave and need distressed denim in my life. Surprisingly so these jeans are from Forever21, and though it did take a little getting used to. I just feel they don’t flatter my assets the way my favorite jeans would, but the jeans are an awesome accessory to any outfit, they get the job done. The striped crop top is also from Forever21, the top can be paired with practically anything a skater skirt, leather shorts, you name it and for the price $10.00 who wouldn’t buy that? The military inspired vest I got as a birthday gift from my sissy in law and it’s so me. I love that it has mesh in the back and you can see the striped shirt too, doesn’t hide the shirt how any regular old vest usually would. So brownie points for the sissy in law, she knows me oh so well already lmao.

On to the details, the shoes another Forever21 item. Merely enough they are high yet comfortable, and not to mention the same material as the back of the vest. In my opinion they add the sexiness to the outfit along with the lipstick; I like to call it fate, what I’m I saying? Of course it’s fate duhhh. On to Lipstick talk! Heroin, from Mac. I’ve heard so many things about this lipstick and the first time I saw it I was like wow bright but who better to try it then me haha 😀 I believe it added just the right amount of pop to the outfit and the matte finish is my favorite. The bag, oh this bag that had me on a man hunt to find a bag that would liven up this outfit just give it that wow factor, and Jesus did I hit the nail on the head with it. I went everywhere looking for a purple bag, but just not any purple the right purple and low and behold Target of all places. The bag was right there as I walked in bam in your face sitting there waiting for me to scoop it up and debit please to the cashier!!!!

I hope this inspired you to not be afraid to throw in a little pop of color to any black and white outfit you may be wearing. Toddle loves until next time.

Mad for Plaid

Fall and plaid … they just go oh-so-well together, don’t you think? I have to say, plaid has been my go-to this fall. I can throw on a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and to spice up the outfit – a plaid shirt! Now, when I laid eyes on this little dress … I was in love! Who wouldn’t want a plaid dress? It’s comfy, cute and can easily be dressed up or down. Believe it or not, I felt so unstoppable with this outfit. The dress was just the right length, and the height of the boots were perfect, everything came out fantastic. Not only are these boots incredibly fabulous, but aside from their look – they’re fitted so they hug the leg well! Omg… I’m drooling!

I threw on my not-so-infamous floppy hat (another go to this fall) and the looks I got in public when walking down Sunset Place with my hat covering half my face and shades hiding my eyes were awesome. With my lovely photographer, Jessica Rivas, snapping away – it just called for turning heads and serious stares. “Is she famous? Who’s that, omg look?”

I was iffy about throwing in a loud purse – I thought it would clash but I took a chance and it paid off. Being that the whole outfit is all black and white, throwing in that “loud” statement piece really worked in my favor and brought the whole outfit together. Not to mention, the bag was only $25.00 from Target! I just had to have it.

I had the honor of attending a special event that Stuart Weitzman in Dadeland Mall hosted with Autism speaks. For every shoe or accessory purchased, a portion was donated to Autism Speaks. I immediately fell head over heels for every shoe!!! Each of their shoes had a perfect height, color, look and not only that, but they’re comfortable.
Here is a list of a few of the Stuart Weitzman heels I tried on during my time there:
The Mudist Sandal” : A great fit, the height and nude-tone color of the heel was just right. Throw it on with the perfect mini dress, or white button up and distressed jeans. I had to incorporate blue for this outfit to show love and support for Autism – so I picked the same necklace as my “It’s so Miami” post.
The Queen Pump“: (and yes, that is the name and it’s perfect for the shoe queen trying it on!)The color was intriguing, a color I have never seen before on a shoe. This pump almost became superglued to my feet, ready to be taken home! Before moving onto the next try-on, I had to turn around and take that one last glance.
The Carlton Bootie“: When I tell you I’m going to have this shoe in my head until I purchase it, it’s because I will! Black petrol paten … a color that I hadn’t seen before till I was holding it. It’s the perfect bootie for fall, especially with the colors in Miami! It’ll go so well with the infamous little black dress. I would even do a mini-skirt with the ruffled flared bottom hem, with one of those super chunky silver metal statement necklaces.
Yes, these shoes may be on the pricey side but hey, guess what! You pay what you get for. Fantastic quality, long lasting, and head turning shoes. So if there are any of these you fell in love with (like I did!), start saving or treat yourself to that perfect, strappy nude heel or pump! You’ll have girls asking where you got them and men wanting to marry you.

“What is one important thing our society needs? That would be harsher punishment for parole violators, Stan. Oh and World Peace!” -Gracie Lou Freebush (Miss Congeniality).

What’s a better topic to discuss than World Peace – with all this hatred/coming together going on all around the world. Well, it just so happens that I work at Peace Love Worldwhere we aim to spread peace, love, and happiness around the world.

This shirt expresses every word I’m about to say, feel, and think. Do we not live in 2014? Because for a sec, I feel like the 1940’s is slowly creeping up on us. Racism and killings, are you kidding me! We shouldn’t be fighting each other because of the color of our skin. Who cares if we’re blue, green, or polka dot!!! We should fight for one another. We are all brothers and sisters, regardless of our skin color, or ethnic background. Stand up for one another, it takes more energy to fight and argue than to leave in peace. Protect those you love and give a helping hand to the ones you don’t know. Prime example is the recent ALS ice bucket challenge – millions coming together to raise awareness for a disease not many people were familiar with. Now millions know and millions have donated to help those in need. Everyday a new story is broadcasted, about a new killing of a young man shot dead. Enough is enough, why are we murdering the kids that are our future!

Rather than holding onto this outfit and passage for a later post, I chose to do this post and style session now because it does mean a lot to me. Plus, what better way to express a world wide concern than with words and fashion! I paired this Peace Love World basic-go-to shirt with a black (very distressed) denim. Every time I wear them, I receive two totally different compliments! Either “Ohmygod, where did you get those pants? They are awesome!” or “Hey, did you fall or jump a fence and get caught!? (lol!!) I personally love distressed anything because I love the old, rugged, and tough persona it gives off. I didn’t want to give the impression of mourning something, so what better way than my go to floppy hat, and loud statement necklace.

This shirt has become very popular with big celebrities, and i mean big!!! Oprah Winfrey, Ricky Martin, Wyclef Jean, and of course, Alina Villasante (creator and visionary of Peace Love World). These are examples on how to spread awareness, all while looking fab. This shirt is more of a fashion statement like, “I’m a fashionista and my shirt means business buddy!” So go ahead and support a good cause – a portion of the proceeds from purchasing this shirt goes to The American Red Cross Foundation.

Remember: Our society needs WORLD PEACE! If you purchase the shirt #worldpeace. ♥
