If you’re like me, you’re not ready to start thinking about the holidays just yet. But with all the holiday drops happening, it’s hard not to indulge in some preemptive holiday cheer. Avara reached out to me at the end of the summer and asked me to be a part of their ambassador program. After looking through their selections, it was easy as pie to say yes! And now that the holidays are coming up, I’m even more glad that I did. Boutiques like Avara are perfect for your everyday and elevated outfits. From game day, to the holidays, you’ll be able to stock up on some new favorites for…

One of my favorite items for fall is a blazer. It’s the perfect layer to add to an outfit. Blazers not only look great with almost everything, but also keep temperatures more regulated. (Meaning that in Florida, it doesn’t becoming unbearably hot while wearing one). While a black blazer is wardrobe staple, I find myself always wearing my tweed blazer. Tweed adds a touch of old world elegance to an outfit, whether it be a blazer, skirt, or dress. Designers that come to mind when I think of tweed are Burberry, Balmain, and Channel, just to name a few. I’ve had this tweed blazer for years. Truthfully, I don’t remember…

Even though we’ve (thankfully) had some pretty gorgeous fall weather in Florida this week, it sadly will not last. Inevitably, the temperatures will rise again before the month ends and it’ll be what is Floridians call, Summer Junior. When Summer Jr. eventually comes knocking, it’ll be like a switch from “not sweating” to “sweating”. Luckily, I’ve been embracing Summer Jr. better this year than any year before. At least, I feel like I have. One way I’ve been embracing it is by still wearing shorts. I purchased these white shorts over the summer and they’ve become a staple in my wardrobe. Not just for summer, but for fall as well.…

In all honesty, it’s been years since I had a laptop bag to travel with. Even if it’s just for a trip to the coffee shop or library to get some blogging done. I’ve been making do with just a laptop sleeve, which isn’t very safe and has a broken zipper. But I knew a time would come when I needed to invest in a laptop bag or briefcase. In comes The Jacket Maker with the perfect…

It’s officially fall. Sadly, it only feels like fall some mornings in Florida. But regardless, I’ve got my boots ready to wear at a moments notice. Since I rarely get to wear my boots, I always hunt for the most affordable pairs for fall. There’s no need to drop $100+ on something I’ll only wear once a year. (That’s just not convincing girl math, you know?) Last year, I had the most luck finding affordable (and comfortable) fall boots at Target. In fact, I bought two pairs of Target boots last year, but I very well could have bought 3-4. However, Target is not the only place to look for…

Every year when fall rolls around I find myself desperately craving a new wardrobe. I want all the jackets and boots and layers that the rest of the country seems to enjoy. Heck, even just a day to wear my halloween sweaters (without a hurricane hitting us first). Sadly, that’s not in the stars for myself and fellow Floridians. Last year, I started to build my fall wardrobe with Florida in mind. I picked up some fall skirts and a few blazers to layer with. While the skirts got a lot of wear, in fall and throughout the year, the blazers didn’t get all the attention they deserved. Sure I…

This summer I’ve spent a lot of time and money investing in basics. While I’d usually opt for spending money on a new dress that is brightly colored and patterned, this year I’ve decided to make smart style decisions. I’m defining smart style as investing in pieces that can be worn throughout the year, and not just one or two seasons. As a Floridian, basics can go one step further. While not everyone can wear shorts in fall and winter, it’s a normal occurrence in here. Even so, basics like tees, and button-ups make great layering pieces when temperatures get colder. Here’s what I’ve invested in this summer. Disclosure: Some…

If you follow a blogger, you’ll probably notice a few brands that are popular among them. Especially if you follow bloggers with the same style. They tend to shop at a lot of the same places and promote many of the same brands. This isn’t to say it’s a bad thing, there’s just a lot of brands out there being represented by a similar group of people. I’ve found myself wary of some of these brands, especially if they are over saturated on my feed. However, there are brands that I’ve tried and think are absolutely worth the hype, and the price tag. And if it weren’t for seeing the…

For 3 years now, my family has been staying at the Walt Disney World resort for my youngest sisters birthday. This year, my family and Michael’s family just so happened to plan Disney trips back to back. So I put my Disney skills to the test for 7 days of outfits that would work for the summer heat. We spent all last week enjoying Bonnet Creek and Yacht Club. So of course I wanted to pull together Disney outfits that would match all our plans.
