LOFT

Why hello, August! You came back rather quickly…  Good thing that with the August rush also come August sales!!!

Today’s outfit features some casual and cool fashion for back to school shopping.

Who says shopping and saving don’t go hand-in-hand? I’m a sucker for the word “sale” and the back-to-school sale signs are all around. So, I must follow… ;) Yes, yes, I’ll try to be good! But I’m ready for some retail-theraphy and I’m keeping my shopping fashion look comfortable, casual and cool.

It’s been way too long since I’ve sat in front of this computer and just blogged. Gosh, it feels like with just the blink of an eye days go by and time never ceases.

Well, today I go back to basics in my favorite chambray LOFT shirt.

Whether its work, busyness, events, or just routine in general… Life happens and every so often I have to remember to intentionally just stop, slow down and take it in. The last few months have been whirlwind, but they have totally been a blessing. Miguel and I finally moved into an apartment in Miami Beach and it has honestly been one of the best decisions we’ve made in a while. I can’t believe we didn’t live here sooner! He absolutely hated his 45 minute commute to the beach and now its a 5 minute drive! Woot woot!

Finally, now that we’re all settled in, its back to basics…

In every aspect of life. No more crazy-filled schedules, no more living out of unpacked boxes. It’s time to be self-disciplined. We’re back to taking our afternoon strolls, enjoying time with each other and doing things that helps us de-stress.

How do you go back to basics?

What helps you de-stress? For me, its blogging and working out.

PS: In order to make sure I am more consistent with blogging, I’ve started working with an up-and-coming local photographer who’s a dear friend, Ralf Then-Gea. You can check out more Then-Gea Photography here. Website coming soon… If you contact him, let him know I sent ya! ;) Happy Friday!

Did you know that here in America, 1 out of 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year? And just this year alone (2013), over 39,000 women lost their lives battling breast cancer? Ready to combine our powers and tackle this battle? Here’s how you can help…

Over 30 South Florida Fashion & Beauty Bloggers have joined forces for the month of October to raise funds for breast cancer.

For this year’s Fashion for a Cause Campaign, bloggers teamed up with Miami brand Peace Love World, we modeled and styled their new breast cancer collection to raise proceeds for Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation. Our goal is to raise funds, honor & encourage all the strong women fighting against breast cancer– because “where there is hope, there is life.”
