Fashion

Christmas season is here and all the excitement it brings! And what more can I ask for, it gives me yet another reason to shop and be thoughtful toward the ones I love.

Perhaps you’re not sure what to buy the miss, or need a little help shopping for your bestie… Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered with a gift guide for her – she’ll surely love one of these dashing details.

  1. Who could say no to these trendy headphones? They are the perfect gift for a sassy jet-setter.
  2. J. Crew never fails… This scarf is both cozy and stylish!
  3. Cat-eyed sunnies!! I’ve been looking for some like these for a while now. So, I may or may not get these for myself. PS: I’ve yet to see someone wearing this style and NOT look fabulous.
  4. Riding boots are so timeless and chic. Everyone should own at least one good pair.
  5. 1 shoe, 2 shoe… If you can’t tell, I’m a shoe kind-of-girl and I make friends with others like me. ;) So, I KNOW the perfect leopard flats will make any lady smile
  6. This Kate Spade candle is so perfect! For a home, an office, you let her find the setting and allow her to light up the joy.
  7. A good palette is a must! Whether she’s a make-up junkie or just wears it on special occasions – this palette is just what she needs. It has great reviews and blends to perfection.
  8. You’ve heard of looking like a million bucks? But Bond No. 9 is what smelling like a million bucks feels like! Can’t go wrong.

Happy shopping!

 

SHOP THE FLAIR:

Don’t you just love it when you see celebrities dressed in clothes that the every day girl can afford? I know I do! And that’s why I’ve got my eye on Taylor Swift. She always seems to surprise me when it comes to her fashion sense.  Everything she wears has a unique Taylor Twist ;) and it’s always fun to see what she’ll walk out in next.

But it’s this one look I fell in love with and guess what? It’s H&M!

 

Celebrity Inspired

• H M crop top, $24

• H M Skirt, $29

• Casadei leather shoes

• ALDO tote bag, $82

• Ray-Ban sunglasses

What’s there NOT to love about Taylor’s style? She knows how to keep it feminine, classy and young all at once.

DEAR AUTUMN

Dear Autumn, will you please grace us with your presence?

It’s been way too long since the last time we saw you, and we cannot wait until your return.

The subtle change in daylight portrays the nearness of your arrival… And though you won’t bring snow, you most certainly have a nice glow.

Summer is slowly coming to a close and I’m oh so excited to bring out all my fall clothes.

I’m counting down the days till September 22, because that’s the day I’ll finally get to see you!

Longing for layers with utmost anticipation,

Estimado otoño,

Por favor puedes honrarnos con tu presencia?

Han pasado demasiado dias desde la última vez que nos vimos, y ya no puedo esperar mas tu llegada.

Hay ya un sutil cambio en la luz del día, ella nos cuenta de la cercanía de tu regreso Y aunque tu llegada no trae nieve, sin duda trae un brillo agradable.

El verano está llegando lentamente a su fin y estoy tan emocionada de sacar a jugar toda la ropa de otoño.

Estoy contando los días hasta el 22 de septiembre porque ese es el día que por fin llego a verte!

Con la máxima anticipación,

Rules, rules, rules…

I’m sure you’ve heard them before, but I say, break the rules and wear the horizontal stripes anyway!

Only those who lack confidence and a sense of style, actually stick to fashion rules… And if you’re reading this, I KNOW you are NOT one of them.

Fashion rules are made to be broken. Ready to join me? Go ahead, break the rules!

10 Irrelevant Fashion Rules:

  1. Horizontal stripes are not flattering – Says who?
  2. Mixing prints is unacceptable – Not anymore!
  3. Don’t wear white after Labor Day – Thanks, but I think I will!
  4. Never mix gold & silver – That thought is so dated.
  5. Navy & black don’t match – I beg to differ…
  6. Sequins should only be worn at night – Should’a, could’a, would’a.
  7. Head-to-toe matching is a no-no – Maybe if you live under a rock.
  8. T-shirts are only for sleeping/exercising – You’re obviously shopping at the wrong places.
  9. Pajamas are meant for sleeping – Try again, they also make fun tops!
  10. Less is more – Hmmm, maybe, but not for statement pieces.

Time to walk the talk and break the rules! Today’s look featured a simple horizontal striped dress for a classy and chic look. I also ditched the less is more rule and added a whole lot’a bling. Now, the trick to wearing stripes is knowing your body-type and paying attention to the placement and width of the stripes.

Stripes can play an optical illusion and YOU get to decide whether that’s a good thing or bad thing. ;)

Reglas, reglas, y mas reglas…

Estoy segura que ya las has escuchado antes, pero hoy te digo: “rompe las reglas y ponte las rayas horizontales de todos modos!”

Sólo las personas sin sentido de estilo adhieren a las reglas de moda… Y si estás leyendo esto, sé que tu no eres una de ellas.

Igual, las reglas de la moda están hechas para romperlas, no? Lista para romperlas?!

10 Reglas de moda que ahora son irrelevante:

  1. Rayas horizontales no quedan bien a todos- ¿Quién dice ?
  2. Mezclar estampados es inaceptable – ¡Ya, no!
  3. Después de Labor Day uno no debe usar el color blanco- Gracias, pero no lo creo!
  4. Nunca mezcle el oro y la plata – Ese pensamiento es tan anticuado.
  5. Azul ozcuro y negro no coinciden – No estoy de acuerdo …
  6. Lentejuelas sólo se deben usar en la noche – Si eres aburrida!
  7. Combinar de pies a cabeza es un no-no – Tal vez si vives bajo una piedra.
  8. Las camisetas se usan sólo para dormir o hacer ejercicio – Talvez has estado haciendo compras en lugares equivocados .
  9. Pijamas son para dormir – De vez en cuando, también hacen tops divertidos!
  10. Menos es más – Hmmm, tal vez, pero no siempre.

Y ahora, es hora de predicar con ejemplo y romper las reglas! Mi look de hoy contó con un vestido de rayas para un aspecto elegante y chic. También me deshice de la regla “menos es más”  y lo combine con un collar con mucho “bling” . Ahora, el secreto de usar ropa con rayas es conocer a tu tipo de cuerpo y prestar atención a la colocación y el ancho de las rayas.

Las rayas pueden ayudarte a crear una ilusión óptica y tu decides si eso es algo bueno o algo malo. ;)

 

The days are longer, the sun shines brighter… Oh, sweet summer days!

Sun stands still, beaches are filled… Time to escape the weekday craze.

Sun-kissed skin, drops of rain, humid outdoors… Still all the same.  Oh, how I love my sweet summer days.

If the sun could speak what would it say? If you could hear a tune from a simple breeze what song would it play? Oh gloomy rain, please refrain so I can play in my sweet summer days.

As you can see, I woke up a bit on the sappy side today. But hey, a little summer poem never hurt anyone? ;) Are you in need of a little inspiration or perhaps even a little help for a summer outfit?

Here’s a little sweet summer outfit idea… I wore this to attend the 2nd day of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week event:

What will you be wearing this weekend? Do you have any special Memorial Day trends you can’t wait to show off?

Although there will be a lot going on around town this weekend, take a moment to be reminded of what Memorial Day is all about.  It is not about the barbecues and the parties, it is about honoring and remembering the fallen soldiers who put their lives on the line for our rights and freedom. So, I would like to thank anyone who is serving or has served in the Armed Forces of the United States.  Thank you for your bravery and dedication to our country.

With that said, what are you up to this Memorial Day weekend? Well whatever it is, will you be showing up in style?

Here are a few Memorial Day fashion trends to inspire your outfit for this weekend’s festivities:

It’s never too early to talk summer fashion in Miami… And I’ll be looking for some easy breezy fashion this season!

During the summer season, there are a few pieces I like to avoid especially  – jeans, jackets, and anything that isn’t light and airy. When I find a piece that add a pop of style but still keeps me cool, it’s usually hard for me to resist., and what catches my attention even more are one of a kind, hand made pieces for a good cause. That’s why I’m here to tell you about Kapara Designs.

Kapara Designs scarfs are hand-printed by artisans in Bagru, India using a hand blocking printing method.  Each design is made out of a soft, light blend of Indian silk and cotton fabric hand-carved into wooden blocks. They believe that the items we own should, “…not only be beautiful, but also meaningful,” which is why they stress the importance of paying each craftsman a fair wage for their work.

WHAT I WORE:

– Kapara Designs Ekva Scarf c/0
– Zara Sunglasses
– Steve Madden Sandals

They offer different prints, styles, and are perfect addition to your closet this season! How will you be styling yours?

OFF THE WALL

The weather is warm, the days are getting longer, and it is finally spring. This time of year calls for airy, light clothes, and a refreshing stop at a local ice cream shop. But not just any ice cream shop. I am talking about one of a kind, special to Miami deliciousness – Walls Old Fashion Ice Cream.

Walls Old Fashioned Ice Cream is a must-go for the fellow ice cream lover. On top of the fact that they are family owned, their ice cream and fudge is all home made. And let me also add that their rocky road flavor is one of my favorites in town!

On this delicious outing I thought I’d keep it airy by wearing a pair of palazzo pants from Forever 21 and a cropped top.  In case you weren’t aware, Forever 21 has a huge selection of palazzo pants and I’m dying to go back for my next find!

WYNWOOD LIFE

Not long ago, Wynwood Life was just a blog that celebrated life in the Wynwood neighborhood… But now, the site has organically evolved into a festival that’s poised to raise the bar on all things Miami –art, music, fashion and food!

Wynwood Life will take place in Miami’s hip Wynwood district on 6th Avenue, between 22nd and 24th Street and will run from April 25th-27th. The idea behind this festival stemmed from the need to highlight local artists, craftsmen and designers. Organizers are expecting over 20,000 people during this three-day event.

Top area vendors and artists, have signed up to be a part of it. Even musicians, local bands and DJ’s will be performing from two stages, including the top of this Trek6, boom box-painted building that overlooks I-95.

Think next-level Art Walk, offering local pop-up restaurants, bars, live music, art, and more. As far as fashion, throughout the day several vendors will showcase local designs modeled and styled by a few of your favorite bloggers. And yup, you guessed it your Flair Miami girls will be there to model and style a few looks.

This is an event you don’t want to miss, tickets start as low as $15 and can be purchased online at www.wynwoodlife.com. Use the promotion code FLAIRMIA at checkout and you’ll receive a 50% discount! Hope to see you there!

It’s time to talk fashion…Express fashion, and if you weren’t able to make it to the EXPRunway event this past Thursday, you’ve come to the right place! With the Raleigh Hotel’s pool transformed into a runway for the night, Flair Miami was able to enjoy fashion and fun all in one place…what more could a girl ask for?

But before I dive into the looks that caught my eye, let me start by saying I am very impressed with this years Spring/Summer Collection. And I will let you see why for yourself.

The line had a great mix of casual and cocktail.  One of my favorite trends this season is the the full-midi skirt, and Express had a few that hit the runway with a bang!

So, ladies (and gents) – here are my favorite styles from the Express 2014 Spring/Summer collection:
