Last week I mentioned that I was in need of a visual break… Well, not anymore!

When life gives you lemons… You wear them!

From pineapples, to bananas, strawberries, cherries & even palm trees — fruity/bold prints are this year’s summer trending prints! These bright prints are not only girly, they are also a fun way to make an outfit pop. Besides making you feel refreshed they tend to add a vintage vibe — whether you choose a statement matching pair or use them as a fun pop of color, this trend will sure enhance your look.

So, if your wardrobe is in need of a boost, here are a few fun summer trending prints  you can incorporate to your summer look:

Have at it and go bananas! ;)

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:

SEEING RED

Am I the only one who is seeing red eveywhere? I mean, Valentine’s Day goodies were already popping up at every drug store before the clock struck midnight on January first. ;)

While love is in the air, and those around me are getting ready to celebrate their special someone, I’m here… Thinking about what I could wear if I had a special someone. So, in honor of hearts, love, candy and chocolate, I’ve put together three outfit ideas for the special day – each with a pop of, you guessed it, RED FASHION.

1. CASUAL POP

FOUR FALL TRENDS

Sunday, September 22 marks the official first day of Fall; that means it’s time to change up your wardrobe and start implementing this year’s trends.  Luckily, you don’t have to revamp your entire closet as a few of these items may already be in your closet… Just shake of the dust, and bring them out to play. If all else fails you can decide to shop these trends with our splurge vs steal collection.

 

Ready for that school girl, to become a cool girl? Pair one of these plaid looks with your favorite boots and you’ll go from Summer to Fall in no time! (Even if you live in Miami ;))

Fall Plaids

Mango plaid shirt $59 / Current-Elliott  plaid shirt $402/ White House Black Market tweed skirt $88 / Oscar de la Renta (similar)/ Forever 21 skinny $23/ See by Chloé $480 (sold out) similar

 

Camo print and army wear are a big hit this season, anything camouflage or military is a must! Maybe camo isn’t really your thing and you prefer to have a look that’s a bit more subtle and girly… Try mixing an olive jacket or vest with a tan crochet or lace piece.

Army Wear
 
Faux leather military  jacket $39 / 3.1 Phillip Lim military jacket $794 / Mackage biker/army jacket $324/ Apt. 9 utility vest $24/ Rag & Bone camouflage leggins $1,045/ Old Navy rockstar pants $32

 

You’re already familiar with boyfriend jeans, now it’s time to borrow his coat, or you can always shop for your own. The bigger the better, at least that’s what the 2013 Fall trend reports say, NY Fashion Week was filled with large outerwear, from over-sized coats to even capes.

Oversized Coats

Topshop coat $116 / Jacquemus blue coat $719/ Lucas Nascimento coat $2,177/ See by Chloé camel coat $268/ Grey Marl boyfriend jacket, $56 / Elizabeth and James red coat $795

Last, but of course not least, shoeeees!! I’ve always been a fan of thigh-high boots, but I’m a little too short for them. But who knows, if paired with the right oversized coat or cape I just may give it a try. Now if only this Miami weather would comply…

Thigh-High Boots

3.1 Phillip Lim kitty heel boots $785 / ALDO boots $89 / Charlotte Russe boots $49 / Over the knee boots, $72 / Emilio Pucci $2,837 / Altuzarra $935

 

Our favorite time of year is here… Swim Week! I don’t know about you, but I am beyond excited for this years swim week (not only because of the amazing designers but also because it’s my first year going!). Where do I begin? Wildfox, L Space, and Luli Fama…here I come!

Since I am in the swim week spirit, I thought it’d be fun to put some outfits together, so here you have them!

hello

What will you be wearing at this years Swim Week?

In my eyes, there are 3 types of Miami people:

  1. Those who LOVE the beach and go all year-round.
  2. Those who LIKE the beach and only go from May – July.
  3. Those who DISLIKE the beach and blame it on the sand.

Which one do you think I am? Take a guess?

Well, did you know that the official first day of Summer this year is Friday, June 21?  However, we all know that most Miami folks start going to the beach waaaaay before, which can be both awesome and pretty annoying. Even more so in the month of May…

Miguel and I went to the beach last weekend and we literally spent an hour and a half looking for parking. ( And yes I’m a Miami girl, I say literally! :))

So, in case you’re headed to the beach this weekend or happen to be planning a beach getaway; here are a few Summer essentials each under $50.

PS: If you’re headed to Miami Beach and want to find a good parking spot, be sure to arrive early and before the crazy mid-day crowds. If not, just count on spending $20+.

PSS: I SWEAR by wearing sunblock and my Acai Kiehls Moisturizer! I’ve been wearing it daily for years!

Happy Friday!

I don’t know about you, but I am all about florals, and this spring the floral trend is B-A-C-K.

Not sure how to style spring florals?  Well you’ve come to the right place!  I’ve put together three outfits each including a different floral piece.  One “girly” floral, one “edgy” floral, and one “sophisticated” floral.

Which one are you? ;)

So there you have it! What’s your favorite floral trend this spring? Let us know! :)

Is it Spring yet? Because it sure doesn’t feel like Winter around here…

And since I can’t really be wearing boots and scarves around Miami, I officially want it to be Spring. Oh and yes, I am definitely jealous of all the Miami bloggers that got to experience a blizzard in New York, while enjoying Fashion Week. :( Maybe next year I can plan some vacation time around Fashion Week, I miss NY. (Or maybe, just maybe, Miami will someday get a Fashion Week of our own. Other than Swim Week of course, one can only dream…)

Till then… I am ready to bring in some neutrals and pastels into my life! The nice thing about nude is that it is such a neutral color that it can be incorporated all year long. But I’m especially excited for Spring to arrive because this season, opposites attract!

This Spring trend will be known for intermixing blacks, whites, and nudes! Woo hoo! Three of my classic favorites.

And so in light of Fashion Friday, today I thought I’d begin a new Flair Miami trend known as… “Five Favorites.” Drum roll, please?

Here are today’s five favorite nude items currently on my wish list. What’s on yours?

Neutral Nudes

________________
Todavía no estamos en primavera? Porque por aca no parece ser invierno…
Y ya que no puedo estar usando botas y bufandas en Miami, ya oficialmente quiero que sea primavera. Ah, y sí, definitivamente estoy muy celosa de todas las bloggers de Miami que fueron a Nueva York en la Semana de Fashion Week… (Tal vez el año que viene llego a planear unos días de vacaciones que coincidan con Fashion Week, hace tiempo que no voy a Nueva York. (O tal vez, sólo tal vez, algún día, Miami tendrá un Fashion Week propio. Además de Swim Week, por supuesto. Mientras tanto sólo puedo soñar …)
Hasta entonces, estoy dispuesta a ponerme unos colores neutrales, sea o no sea primavera! Lo bueno de el color beige es que es un color neutro que se puede incorporar todo el año. Pero estoy especialmente emocionada por que llege la primavera, porque en esta temporada los color opuestos se pueden mesclar!Esta tendencia de primavera se dará a conocer a los negros, y blancos, entremezclados con beige! Woo hoo! Tres de mis colores favoritos clásicos. Y bueno, hoy quiciera introducir una nueva forma de Fashion Fridays… se llama Cinco Favoritos. Redoble de tambores, por favor?
Aquí están hoy mis cinco artículos favoritos de color beige. Estos por ahora, estan en mi lista de deseos. ¿Qué hay en la tuya?

As we all know, Fridays at Flair Miami are completely dedicated to FASHION!  I have to admit, reading, talking, and writing about fashion is probably one of my favorite things, and this ‘Fashion Friday’ I’ve decided to dedicate to some of my personal fashion favorites.

I’ve put together three outfits, one day time outfit, one work place outfit, and one night time outfit.  I also set a budget for each outfit, the day time being least expensive and the night time being most expensive, ranging from $150 to $350.

Here are some of my fashion favorites for day, work, and night:

1.  DAY TIME OUTFIT UNDER $150

Even though chilly days in Miami are unpredictable, I still can’t help but love chunky knit sweaters. Maybe it is because being able to wear one is something that rarely happens. I also love how gold and black look together, I think it gives such an edgy feel to the very preppy knit sweater.  Oh, and lets not forget the amazing Tom Ford look alikes! What a steal!

Grand total: $139

2. WORK PLACE OUTFIT UNDER $250

What I love about this outfit is that two very popular fall trends have been incorporated – the oxblood and the spots.  I think this would be a very fun/fashion forward office look (well, depending on where you work ;) ).

Grand Total: $240

3.  NIGHT TIME OUTFIT UNDER $350.

One word – Metallics. Metallics are a great way to give an outfit the perfect edge with out over doing it. Since the main focus is obviously the dress, I chose more subtle accessories, and to top it off a great oxblood lipstick and nail polish for a little pop of color. I love this and I think it’s perfect for a night out. You will definitely make a statement in this outfit!

Grand Total: $345

So there you have it!  Some of my personal fashion favorites.  Which is your favorite outfit?
