{Flirty and Fun}

That's how I think of this outfit. I love the mix of navy blue with the brown cognac -- it gives off the kind of casual, yet classy look that every girl strives for. It's easy, fun, and effortless. Paired with simple jewelry and a casual pony -- the overall effect was the one I had been hoping for.

{Casual yet Chic}

I've been turning into one those religious gym goers (if you truly know me, you know how truly lazy I am). However, after seeing the effect my weekly workout sessions have been having, not just on my body, but in my life in general. I'm sold.

I feel better, I eat better, and I accomplish much more than I ever thought would be possible. Best of all -- my legs look pretty great in a dress <333 

As always, we seem to be experiencing extreme heat this year in South Florida. The sun is brighter and hotter than ever, and as such -- a light dress in the middle of February is totally permissible. 

I've never given much thought to the saying "I live where you vacation" 

However, I can see its validity now. Temperature down here are either, hot - hot - or warm. There is no winter in South Florida, just beach season year round. 

{Not that I'm complaining} 

Hope you enjoyed the look! 

Until next time friends <3 

By the By: My photographer (Diana) gave me 5 inches of space to work these photos on. Considering the circumstance, I think both they {and she} are pretty fabulous.

New York Fashion Week has begun. There seems to be a frenzied excitement in the air as we all look forward to the Spring and Summer lines of our favorite designers. The over the top fashion shows, the after parties, and of course {the outfits}.

Some of my favorite bloggers have already touched down in New York – where temperatures are frigid. Reminds me of my first time visiting New York at the tender age of 14, where the temperature was at a cool 14ºF. How lovely {not}! I myself, am a tropical woman. Growing up in sunny Miami, FL there is not much need for coats, scarves, and sweaters. We do occasionally enjoy the low dip into the 40’s – but nowhere near as cold as temps up north.

Today’s post is dedicated to the frigid blues of the north, with a touch a red for the hot tropics. Interesting, isn't it? How two primary colors can accentuate each other in such a way. As always there must be a pattern and/or texture added to the ensemble.

My pants?

Silky smooth, delicious material you simply want to live and breathe in. Forever.

Paired with a light grey sweater/shirt & classic white pumps – gives off the perfect look and feel for a hot South Florida day.

 {And trust me, it was hot!}

My chain?

An ode to the simple (yet complex) looks of pearls – always my favorite. This piece is from the J. Crew Collection, which just so happens to be my all-time favorite place to buy my chains.

And the red?

A touch of me, in everything that I do. Red is my statement go-to color. I was conflicted at first in incorporating such a mix. However, upon further perusal it was clear that it worked – and made the ‘me’ shine through.
