20150621-RIV_4937Miami is starting to feel like a burning hot oven and all I want to wear is a bikini … everywhere I go. Unfortunately, I can’t and so this calls for t-shirt dresses. T-shirt dresses are definitely in style this summer and since they are loose fitting and breathable, it calls for a perfect summer Miami outfit. I decided on this print because you can never go wrong with a white & black striped pattern. To add a bit more of my style – I decided on a denim top and tied it around my waist (it’s way too hot to wear a long sleeve right now!). I decided on these cheetah slip-ons because I love print mixing and took the risk but if you want to go towards a more simple direction, white converse can also do the work. Since this dress is basically just a t-shirt but longer, jewelry is a must! I went with a very chunky statement necklace that I love to add to simple solid shirts. I also came across a matching finger ring at Forever21, which I just had to have it when I saw it. I went with a camel colored cross body bag to go with the slip-ons. These Rayban’s are a funny story because I use to work at Champs Sports and very rarely, items would go on super sale and we would find out about them last minute – this is how I found these puppies, they appeared for 1 cent! Again, this outfit is perfect for any occasion whether it be to go shopping, or just throw on a pair of Jeffery Campbell Litas and wearing it for a night out. Hopefully this helps those ladies that needed outfit ideas for this scorching heat we have going on in Miami.

It’s so Miami

Welcome to Miami ✿ Bienvenidos a Miami!

This outfit was quite easy to put together because it’s literally an everyday outfit here in Miami – especially for me. High-waisted shorts can be found in every girls wardrobe, along with a crop top. And if you feel like you may be showing too much skin, a tank top will work just fine.

Very in style right now are kimonos, they can be found in every color, length and style. They are a great addition to incorporate into an outfit and specifically, this kimono was just perfect because of the vibrant colors and the amount of floral. The detailing on the trims of this kimono are magnificent, and it’s so sheer and light-weight – that on a hot summer day, it’ll be just the right amount of coverage.

Accessories were pretty easy to match, I had the perfect blue necklace for this outfit which made the shirt stand out more and brightened up the blue in the floral pattern of the kimono. I didn’t want to do too much blue, so I decided on a white bracelet that matched the trimming of the kimono. Now on to my favorite accessory: the clutch!!! A Steve Madden royal blue, fringe clutch – to die for! And yet again, it was a bargain for $25 dollars. Jesus, how I love the world of bargain and sale! It’s music to my ears and wallet (lol).

Despite the heat and sweating I put up with (even with all the little clothing I had on!), I survived thanks to the car AC and the frequent breeze that would blow through the palm trees. Still, the weather was beautiful and with Fall slowly approaching, the bold, bright and fun colors are going to slowly start fading into neutrals and over knit sweaters. Since Miami does it’s own thing when it comes to seasons, I’ll be trying to push and enjoy every last bit of summer clothing I can!

Until then, enjoy! Adiós, amores ♡

“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. ♥
