If there’s 2 things that scream Valentine’s Day to me it’s the color red, and lace. But don’t get it twisted, and get your head out of the gutter! I’m specifically talking about this red lace dress that I rented from Nuuly. Based on the reviews, I was a little worried about ordering it as part of my shipment. But it fit perfectly and was even more stunning in person. The red is so rich, it’s hard not to turn heads. I loved this red lace dress so much I actually wore it multiple times. Not just one way, but two. Sure you can certainly style a single dress many…

Over the year, Valentine’s Day has become one of my favorite holidays to dress up for. There’s so many ways to incorporate pink and red into your outfits that it’s hard not to be festive all month round! I wanted to share some of my favorite Valentine outfit ideas with you all throughout the years. While there’s some new Valentine outfit ideas up my sleeve for 2023, it’s good to look back at years past for some extra inspiration! My Favorite Valentine Outfit Ideas Over the Years Take a trip down memory lane with me! I’ve been posting to Central Florida Chic for over 5 Valentine’s Day now! While I…

When visiting Florida in winter it’s important to bring along some light layers. While Central Florida hasn’t been particularly blessed with warm weather this winter, these layers are still important. I have sadly pulled out a winter coat at least 10 times since December. But I’ve also relied on light layers to get me through the mild winter days. Mild winter days in Florida are in the 70’s, at least for me. Other Floridians love the cold weather but I am unfortunately not one of them. So how do you go about layering for these odd weather days in Florida? I’m here to help!

The newest season of Emily in Paris has premiered and it has me thinking all about Parisian style. Not that I would say Emily has a lot of what I would consider Parisian style (much more designer style). However, it reminds me that by definition Parisian style relies on timeless pieces that you can wear year in and year out. (With maybe the exception of a beret). Maybe I just have beef with Emily this year, but I want to bring simple, classic styles back into the world. Hopefully this goes without saying but I’ll say it anyways, I am not an expert on actual Parisian fashion. I’ve never been…

I may be a few days late but I’m obsessed with my New Years Eve dress from this year’s festivities! A quick recap of event’s that happened in my life in 2022 that may also excuse my absence on here before the new year! These are the big 3 that stand out to me, and luckily they are all positive! (Minus working after Christmas, that’s not cool man). As a reminder, don’t let other people’s highlight reels of the year get you down. One year does not determine your life story. While saying goodbye to 2022 was bittersweet for me, it also offers so many new beginnings for 2023! I…

Merry Christmas Eve! For years now, I’ve been trying to find the perfect Christmas Eve dress. Something that is both dressy, but casual and comfortable. As much as I love this vintage Christmas dress, it’s not exactly what I’m looking for on Christmas Eve. Michael’s family has a tradition of going to Nana’s on Christmas Eve and eating a feast. It’s a tradition I’m lucky to be a part of now. There’s every food imaginable, from shrimp, to pizza. With so much food, I really need a dress that stretches and is comfortable. I had seen this dress from J.Crew but wasn’t convinced it would look good on me. I…

Red is my favorite color to wear during the holiday season. Unfortunately, red is not a color I wear much outside of the holiday season. I used to own more of it, but started to weed it out of my closet as the years went by. There’s not much reason to keep a piece of clothing that only gets worn once a year. Luckily, I’ve started renting items that I know I won’t wear a lot. It saves me money, and space in my closet. Winter is a time of year that I especially rely on renting. Whether it’s a coat, or a holiday red dress, renting in winter is…

Shipping deadlines for gifts are quickly approaching. But what if I told you, there’s a great gift that requires no shipping? (Before the holidays that is). If you’ve been around, you know how much I’ve grown to love renting from Nuuly. I love it so much that I talk about it constantly. The question I get asked now about my outfits is “Are you renting that?” Instead of “Where did you get that?” Even with all the talk about renting from Nuuly, I’ve noticed not many of my friends are family are willing to take the plunge and sign up for a subscription. So why not give the gift of…

When I saw this Nicola Bathie x Antonio Melani vintage print dress I knew I had found my Christmas dress for the year. The whole collection is full of vintage and antique details. Honestly, any one of the dresses in the collection would be perfect for the holiday season. The neckline and print is ultimately what led me to purchasing this vintage styled dress for Christmas. In particular, the print reminds me of Clara from the Nutcracker. If you’ve been following along, you’ll know how obsessed I’ve become with a floral and stripe print. And this vintage Christmas dress made all those dreams come true. But enough rambling, I wanted…
