Miami Swim Week 2015 Faves


Maybe it's just my affinity for bright neons or just swimwear in general, but I am always more excited for Miami Swim Week than I am to see the upcoming Spring/Summer (close second) or Fall/Winter (last) collections.  The savvy (I think) sale shopper in me also likes to see which trends and specific styles are about to get or stay big right as so many of my favorites stores start to mark down their swim styles.  
So just for ya'll (Dear, Autocorrect: STOP changing that to "yawl" bc wtf), I've included links to this season's styles that would be worthy investments as far as your swimwear wardrobe.  
I mean, get them now to enjoy for the rest of this summer, to have for any winter getaways when you can't seem to find one cute suit, and you can have more money when Spring Break rolls around for the festivities of your choice.    

Robb & Lulu: 
Remember when we were 14 and ...
So proud to see my babe best friend and sister 
(yeah, I'm not sure who let us show around the new students either) 
strutting her stuff.

Good News: 
That One Piece you & Everyone Else Bought (no, not this one) this summer is coming back!

My Advice?
Wait for one of those handy flash sales I'm always ranting about then snag the classic black version.



Mara Hoffman: 
aka My Favorite collection for the second year in a row. 
Mara sure knows how to put on a show, but she set the bar even higher by taking over Casa Casuarina to spotlight her collection.  
However, her designs were inspired more so by the 1970s style of Yves Saint Laurent than the home's late owner, Mr. Gianni Versace.  
I.  NEED.  THIS.  
also does anyone think she looks like an Angie Harmon - Sandra Bullock Hybrid?

#SquadGoals
"To be honest, I think [my own similarity with Versace] is this unapologetic celebration! Like I'm going to do what I fucking do, love me or not.  I don;t have to be on trend every season; I'm going to be me and he was him so I think that is the connection."
Wise & true words from someone who genuinely sets the trends.

3). The New Alternative to a Runway Show Involves Having Your Models Dance on Top of Blocks.  Props to those who can do it without awkwardness. (Lolli x Amuse Society, Wildfox)
4).  Earth Tones for Resort are Way More Groundbreaking Than Florals for Spring

WCW: Taylor Swift

...well I never thought this would happen, but you have to admit- T.Swift killed it while performing at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in London.   Taylor looked as though she too could be in Angel as she strutted down the runway in black lingeries with a sheer black lace overlay.  Oh hayyyyy, betch As the end of the year approaches, so does NYE meaning the time has come to start scoping out your look to ring in the New Year.  This year I'm starting to consider sheer black lace instead of the usual sequins.  Check out my picks below to get Taylor's look! Jarlo Noah Maxi Nightcap Clothing Dixie dress- ON SALE Lovers + Friends Catwalk dress Bardot Sienna Bralette  &  Skirt I saw T. Swift wearing black lingerie and lace, so I bought black lingerie and lace.

Alexander Wang x H&M

Image
IT IS FINALLY HERE!!!!   Tomorrow Alexander Wang's long awaited collection will arrive in select H&M stores and online.  Blogs have been buzzing about the collaboration since this past Spring, so you know this is sure to sellout quicker than Missoni for Target or Kate Moss' last collection for Topshop .   Stores that will carry the collection will open at 8 a.m. local time and the collection will be available online at 10 a.m. EST.  Due to high demand, customers will not be able to purchase any more than two of the same item.   The full look book is available  HERE  and can be described as the chicest and sleekest collection of workout gear you could fathom.  Think sporty grays and tight black scuba.   Not necessarily your style? While browsing the look book, I was able to find several pieces that would be ideal holiday gifts for any gym rat ( yoga mat $69.95 / duffel bag $129 / water bottle $12.95 ), boyfriend ( Scuba Look bag $129 /  Jacquard Knit hat $29.95

September Must Haves

For me the end of summer has come to mean back to school and the promise of cooler weather.  Although I love the bright colors of spring and summer, there is nothing I love more than good denim, cozy sweaters, and rustic boots.  Below are my top pick for this month to get you started on building your fall wardrobe.
