Fashion Friday
Hello Friday... It's the weekend baby😘. So many events and parties this long Fourth of July weekend. There's gonna be Fireworks all weekend long. Make sure you're Summer party ready and Rock those parties like your Rocking the Runway, it's like Ms. Audrey Hepburn said "I never think of myself as an Icon, what is in other people's minds is not in my mind I just do my thing", so as you're getting ready for those outdoor get togethers, remember... Always do your own thing💕... Happy weekend everyone🌷

Let's get Beach ready 
It's Summertime so let's make sure we have everything we need to be Beach ready. From beach towels to sunscreen to that perfect bikini and let's not forget the all important water bottle. Beach time is upon us and I couldn't be happier. The sand in between your toes, the sound the water makes as it crashes against the shore and the warm Sun beating down on your face (make sure you have on that sunscreen), there's nothing like a day at the beach. Make sure you're beach ready and head on down to the water. Grab your beach ball and your radio and prepare for an awesome day in the sand... Don't forget the snacks😄, Hooray for Summer fun in the Sun.

T-shirt Love💟
How cool is this shirt... And so true, so true. I love a graphic tee, especially one with a cool message. Summer is the perfect time for a little t-shirt love. Just grab a comfy tee and add an jazzy statement necklace and you've got a Chic and Sassy look. If you want to dress it down simply toss on a pair of denim shorts and your favorite sneakers. When styling a tee shirt you can't go wrong, so don't be afraid to get a little creative, add some color, a pair of funky earrings or a snazzy hat. No matter how you style it I'm sure you'll look great. It's time to show your t-shirts a little love💕

Smooches😙
Smooches and Kisses to my favorite Summer things. Tank tops and Sway pants, Shorts and tee's, Rompers, Sundresses and of course Sunglasses. Summer's here and I'm pulling out all my faves including my favorite fragrances (see yesterday's blogpost😉). It's that time of year for Summer sunshine and all the fun it brings. Get your bikinis ready and meet me at the beach. Happy Summer everyone 🌹💞🌞

Fragrance Frenzy
So you've picked out your outfit and you have your accessories all ready, now it's time to spray on your favorite fragrance. Whether it's a light flowery scent or something fruity or spicy, perfume completes and compliments your look and it can add just that extra bit of flare you need. I have quite a few perfumes and body spritzers, each one very different in scent and mood. When I'm feeling fun and flirty I tend to put on something fruity or light but when I'm feeling like a Sexy and Sassy night on the town I put on something spicy or bold yet not overpowering (nobody likes a scent that can knock a stranger to the floor😂). I love Victoria Secret and Bath and Body Works body sprays for a light after shower scent but then when it's time to get dressed and go out I spray on my favorite perfume, something like this Bond no. 9 from New York (It's awesome) . Just like your shoes should compliment your outfit your fragrance should compliment you. So get to smelling (your perfumes that is😄) and make sure you pick a great one. Remember your fragrance says hello before your words do🌷

Casual Friday...with a Twist
Happy Friday and Hello weekend. When you think of Friday you think of the end of another work week. It's time to unwind and enjoy the weekend. A fun Friday night on the town with friends, Saturday shopping and Sunday church and brunch with the family, all in all we have an awesome weekend. We try to fit as much enjoyment and relaxation time into those few days as possible. That being the case we want simple styling transitions from work Friday to Happy Hour Friday. A nice crisp cotton shirt and elegant pair of slacks can be easily  transitioned by simply swapping those work slacks out for a pair of funky jeans and you're off to Happy Hour and the start of a chill weekend. Casual Fridays make weekend styling so cool and versatile. We all want to get through that last work day of the week as quickly and comfortably as possible so we can enjoy our free time. Here's to a Marvelous Friday😙... It's the weekend baby🎉

Green with Envy 
I love color the brighter and more vibrant the better and with Summer here Im ready to be colorific. There's nothing that makes an outfit more joyful than beautiful bright colors... Greens, Oranges, Yellows, Reds, Blues, they're all so beautiful on a stylish outfit (not to mention they make your look pop with vibrancy) The ensemble I'm wearing is so eye catching, Bold and Brilliant. I love the color green, it's actually my birthstone color (May is the Emerald, woo-hoo😙). I paired these palm tree printed pants with a simple flowy fringe tank top and of course a cute pair of Tory Burch flip flops. Colors are so fashionable and never go out of style meaning they will always be on trend (even though I set my own trends😄 and so should you😍). So don't be afraid to add some color to your stylish masterpiece, it will really make your outfit sing out loud🎶 (not really I just like the wordplay😆)... Now let's go get colorful💚💛💖💜💙

Poolside Adventures 
It's a Summer tradition and what a treat it is... to be sitting by the pool. Fun summer music playing in the background, A cute bikini, a beach  chair in the shade and your favorite summer drink (a cool lemonade🍋). I love a good bikini and with so many styles to choose from, you can be fashionable and comfortable without the fear of flashing unsuspecting strangers😄. There are a variety of retailers who carry amazing swimsuits and bikinis, from high end to department stores like Target, Kohls and Walmart. I personally love H&M for bikinis, they're cute and inexpensive. If you don't want your entire body showing  while walking to the pool or on the beach, try a cover up or a simple pair of matching shorts but don't let anything stop you from getting in that water... Or being cute sitting by the water while sipping on a lemonade in your comfy beach chair😅... Happy Summer👙

Rock your Style 
Happy Monday fashion friends. I woke up feeling like I could conquer the world (and I can😎). So of course I had to have an outfit to match my vibe. Tossed on a cool t-shirt, a pair of semi-distressed jeans and a pair of cut out stillettos and I can not forget my Rocker girl shades (now all I need is a bass guitar and a microphone🎤). This  is why I love Fashion, you can be who you want, how you want and when you want. Don't ever limit yourself to one look, it's ok to have your own style but always be open to being versatile, there are so many Beautiful and different outfit choices, it's cool to be unique and it's so much fun. By the way the t-shirt that I'm rocking in this picture only cost $9...I'm a Rocker on a budget😂... Rock on baby🎸

Cool Chick Style😎
That's right, I said Chick😄 'cause I'm a cool chick😎. I live for that Rider girl vibe, the Leather jacket (I'll save that for Fall), the black riding boots (grabbing them now), a chic black bag and of course a bad pair of Shades (bad meaning good meaning cool). There's nothing like a girly girl who knows that deep down she's a real cool chick. I'm loving this embellished Backpack that my sister picked up in her travels, I'm pairing it with these oh so chic Dolce & Gabbana shades (I'm gaining cool chick points as I pull this look together 😁). I think I may put on a simple summer tee and a pair of distressed jeans... We don't want to overdue it, especially when the accessories speak for themselves. It's gonna be a great weekend... Happy Friday friends😘

Color me Summer 
Bright, Bold and Brilliant...its all about colors. From pom poms to sunglasses, colorful Summer accessories are all the rave right now and the more colorful the better. With Summer comes warm weather fashion and I'm all for that. One of the newest colorful trends for Summer are pompoms. Whether there on sandals, a purse or in your hair everyone's getting in on the action. Now I'm not really one for trends but I must say I'm a pom pom girl. I think it all started when I was a little girl and my mom put pom pom barrettes in my hair, thanks mom😄 (yea, she's awesome right😍), I've graduated to pom pom sandals and colorful bags. The bag pictured above is adorned with brightly colored sunglasses, the necklace is embellished with chains, stones and colorful poms and the sandals have jewels and poms all with lots of color. The key word here is color😁..  so dont be afraid to get colorful💚💛❤💙💜

That's a Wrap! 
Oh yes, your girl is wearing a Headwrap and I'm just as surprised as you are. I've never been into the whole headwrap fashion but recently (on a I don't feel like doing my hair day😁) i decided to give it a try. I actually forgot that I even had it until I started looking for my hair brush and I came upon it in my "Hair drawer" you know that drawer that you toss all your hair essentials into. So after a few attempts I figure out how to wrap it and I find out that it was quite simple to wrap. I must say that after wearing it for awhile I started to like the look and then I thought about it, there are hundreds of wraps out there in every print and style... I had found my new hair trend. So the next time I'm having an "I don't feel like doing my hair" kinda day... Hello Headwrap😄. Grant it I'm not going to sport this look too much in Summer but Winter better get ready... It's gonna be a Wrap!

Satin in Summer 
When you think of Summer fashion you rarely think of Lounging robes but they are indeed the newest around the house fashion statement. The days of pajama sets are out (even though I'm keeping mine forever 😁) the days of fancy 'Jamas are in. I recently went to Victorias Secret for their semi-annual sale to grab some fragrances and other treats and to my surprise they had a variety of Lounging robes. At first I just glanced through them until this one I'm wearing in the picture caught my eye (and my arms, it's so soft), so I try it on and fell in love with how comfy it was. Now I'm not that girl who walks around the house in furry slippers and silk pajamas but this was so cozy. I'm forever gonna have that trusty old t-shirt and worn out shorts that I wear around the house but when I want to feel Sassy Chic, I'll be grabbing my satin robe... It's a Fashionistas dream😃😄😴

Sunnie days
Summer will be here in 5,4,3,2,...yes, the warm or shall I say Hot weather will be arriving soon, so let's get ready. Nothing says Summer like a great pair of sunglasses or like most people refer to them now as Sunnies. The cool thing about sunglasses (no pun intended, lol) is that you can have twenty pairs of them and they all be different, how awesome is that. You could have a more low cost pair, which is smart because how many times have you left them somewhere or maybe even sat on them, yea I did that😄 and that's the simple reason why I never spend much on a pair of sunnies. However, I do have a few more high end pairs of my favorites for those special occasions like the Prada pictured above (which my sister picked up in her travels, she always finds the best things). With sunnies it's not about the price, it's about the look, So let's get Summer Sunnies ready, grab your favorites and let's be cool for Summer.

All about Accessories 
Whether it's a simple pair of jeans or little black dress accessories make all the difference. I've always loved a great accessory, yes my love for accessories came from my momma; She always has the best stuff. From handbags to shoes to necklaces and bracelets an accessory is a must when you want to amp up your look. This stylish  green beaded straw bag and pointed green pumps shown above are the perfect pair with my white sundress, a cool Summer look. When it comes to accessories the choices are endless. There are so many wonderful possibilities, it's so much fun to accessorize. When you feel like your outfit needs a little something extra, grab that necklace and bag and toss on that bracelet and don't worry, when it comes to accessorizing... You can never over do it... Smooches😙

Celebrating Summer 
Summer's upon us... Well almost and I'm so ready for it. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the outfits are changing. Soon we'll go from Spring Dreams to Summer fun, hooray. I love comfy Spring to Summer looks like the one I'm sporting in the photo here on the boardwalk. The weather is still a bit unsettled so it's always a good idea to keep a light jacket or cool shirt for those brisk days. With Summer rapidly approaching I'm perfectly fine with keeping that jacket around knowing that I'll be soon trading it for a tank top and shorts or stylish romper. It's time to get Summer ready, have some summer fun and enjoy that Marvelous summer sunshine. Hey Summer... We're ready for you.

Spa time
Sometimes you just need to relax and unwind. One of the most relaxing places to do that is the Spa. Work, kids and everyday life can sometimes be stressful and a bit overwhelming and we all need a little "Me time".  My me time go-to getaway is the spa and if your gym has a sauna or jacuzzi area take advantage of it and make it your "Spa" if you can't get to one. Your body needs a break from it all, take a dip in the pool and follow it up with a  rest in the jacuzzi (just don't fall asleep, lol) you need to relax those muscles and give them a little attention. When you're done relaxing your muscles in that warm jacuzzi water, take a seat in the sauna (again don't fall asleep,  lol)  and sweat out all those toxins that try and invade your body (let them know they gotta go, haha). When you're all done take a cleansing shower and finish up with a great moisturizer. Take time out to take care of your and body. Remember, you only get one!
Dinner at the Versace Mansion 
Yes, the caption says it all, as per my last post I told you guys that I had more to add to the story; well here it is. This is me standing in front of the cascading fountain in Versace's courtyard in his Mansion in Miami. My fabulous sister set it up so that we could have dinner at the Mansion and I couldn't have been more surprised. First let me say that the house is oh so beautiful, the architecture is phenomenal and the food amazing. We sat outside on his courtyard patio with a view of his magnificent Italian pool and surrounding grounds, so picturesque. We then had our dinner and drinks and enjoyed wonderful conversation. After dinner we had the opportunity to view the grounds and I must say the house is so unbelievably beautiful. We took so many pictures that I'll never be able to show them all (although I'm going to try, lol). Our night ended with light music and laughter. This is one I won't soon forget, My sister rocks! Stay tuned, there's much more to come.

Stopping by Versace's 
So this really just happened. I'm walking down Ocean Drive in Miami with my sister doing some shopping and I we come upon Gianni Versace's Mansion, yes that Versace. As I'm walking by I notice that there are guards standing around, so I try and get a pic but they only allowed it from the sidewalk (which wasn't good enough for me) so we continue on our way to get something to eat. On our way back passing by the mansion I notice that the guards weren't there at that moment, so my sister says "quick, get up there so you can get a pic", I moved like a Olympic sprinter up the steps and posed by the Versace gate (you can see the Versace symbol on the gate). Two seconds later the guards came out and kindly smiled and said "no pictures please" (they were so nice though). As I'm walking down the stairs my sister walks up and talks with the lady at the door of the mansion, I thought nothing of it (there's a second part to this story, it's so cool). I was so thrilled to have gotten this photo. It made my entire day (along with the shopping). We continued on down south beach and enjoyed the rest of our day. South Beach is so beautiful, a simple dress (like the one I'm wearing in the photo) is the perfect attire for a stroll down Ocean Drive. Summer is here and I'm so ready for it. See you in the next blog post.

Bikini Season 
Grab your swimsuit and your sunnies, it's bikini season and I'm ready for some wonder on the water. I'm in Miami enjoying South Beach and it's simply Beautiful. I was so excited to put on my bikini and go to the beach. Summer style always includes a great bikini. I found this one at Target and it's so comfy. When you're looking for a swimsuit always try it on and make sure it fits properly, there's nothing worse than an improper fitting bikini (well, there are worse things but let's just go with it). Once you've found your right fit, you can look for prints, styles and cuts for the perfect bikini. There are so many styles to choose from, make it fun then  grab that bikini and head to the water.  Maybe I'll see you there🌞

Beach Babe 
So this  year for my Birthday my sister and I went to Miami, South Beach to be exact. First let me say that I hands down have the most phenomenal sister on the planet. Not only was the trip her gift to me, she took me to the most awesome places in Miami. Let's start with our fabulous hotel whose service was impeccable. They left a bottle of champagne, fresh fruit and cheese and a card. Then we went to the hotel patio where the people treated us like Queens,  private cabanas, private access to the beach and Amazing food, oh I can't forget the pool it was so hot I just had to take a dip (pictures to come). Later on we went on Ocean Drive and did some  shopping, oh boy did we do some shopping. I picked up some cool finds which I will be posting soon. Afterwards, when our day was winding down (yes, this was just the first day) we took a relaxing rest in the Jacuzzi. I can not express how happy and grateful I was (and am, we're actually still here) South Beach Miami is Amazing. I have so much more to share but I'll have to catch up with you guys later, the Beach awaits me.
