READY…SET…BASEL!!!!! Hmm…where do I begin?

Art Basel ✓

It’s that time of year again!! Are you ready for the Basel madness? The event list can go on and on, but I certainly am not complaining. With everything that’s on my to-do list though, I feel like there are so many events but so little time, so how can I possibly keep up with them all?

Well, being that this is my second year doing Art Basel with Flair Miami, I had more of an idea of what to expect and how to prepare myself for everything happening this week.  Being fashionably organized is KEY.

Here are  a few Art Basel MUST haves if you plan on staying fashionable and organized. ;)

  • A fun comfy outfit – You can NEVER go wrong with what you wear to Basel, trust me. Today I chose comfort, here I am wearing a Zara TRF graphic t-shirt, H&M wax denim high-wasted pants, Cotton-on jacket, and Zara wedges. I accessorized my outfit with my Phillip Lim tote and black watch c/o Rakani.

  • A Planner/Calendar – Yes, a planner.  There is no better way to stay organized during Basel week then to have it all written down in a calendar.  This year, I made sure to use my favorite Keep Calm and Carry On planner.

  • Comfortable (but fashionable) shoes – Zara…oh how I love you. These wedges are the perfect pair for Basel.  Expect to do a lot of walking (and maybe even some running) this week.  Save yourself the pain, and stay on the comfy side!

  • A handy dandy watch – Last but not least, don’t leave home without your favorite time piece. Be fashionably late to any Basel event sporting this Rakani watch. Oh, did I mention, that’s what the line is called! Be sure to check out their very fashionable and Basel appropriate Fashionably Late collection. The line is designed to turn the negative notion of being late into a creative and fun concept. So arriving late, no longer means you’re irresponsible or careless, but instead it shows fashion and elegance — pushing the limits with good ol’ Miami-time. This watch is so light and comfortable that I’ve already added another one to my Christmas wish list! ;)
    PS: Here’s a little secret, Flair Miami readers can get 40% off any Rakani watch by using the custom code BB40 when checking out at www.rakani.com.

So there you have it! My top Basel must haves to stay fashionably ready for all the events coming your way! Hope to see ya around town! :)

OH SWEET HONEY BUN!

Thanksgiving has come and gone, but Black Friday is in full effect. Though there are definitely a few great sales out there, I must say, I’m not really a big fan of shopping when everyone and their grandma is out bargain hunting as well. So instead, I wanted to share with you a little taste of Miami’s (well Homestead’s technically) best honey buns, and a few things for which I am thankful.

If you’re not quite done with the “gobble till you wobble” Thanksgiving theme and you’ve got still got a sweet tooth, head on over to Knauss Berry Farm. There you’ll find the best honey buns and milk shakes around town! Be prepared for a line as the farm only opens November – mid April, so this is prime time.

I’m not even a huge sweets fan, but their honey buns are right out of the oven and quite scrumptious!

pensive truckThe whole experience there is just fun and different, it reminds me that I love this time of year! Temperature drops, families come together, and it’s time to reflect on the blessings that surround you.

So, here are mine: (Warning, this may get a little sappy.)

  • Family: I truly cannot even begin to express how blessed I am with the wonderful family that surrounds me. From my hard-working single mom who raised me to be the woman that I am today; to my awesome husband who puts up with my craziness every day. Yesterday, the walls of my little home echoed with laughter, kids screaming, voices singing, and moms chatting… It filled my heart with joy. Thank you God for every one of them!
  • Life/Health: I know it seems a little general for me to be thankful for life as a whole, but I am! The very air that fills my lungs today is a gift that I cannot take for granted, and though my life isn’t always filled with rainbows and butterflies… I’m even thankful for the hard times in between.
  • Friends: Life is so much sweeter when moments of joy are shared with friends! So in the spirit of thanksgiving, I’m not only thankful for friends that I personally know and do life with, I’m also thankful for those of you who I’ve known in the past and others who I’ve yet to meet. Blogging and social media has really brought this whole friendship thing to a whole new level, and I like it! I love that even in the blogging world there’s a little community of people who collaborate and build each other up. I love that YOU have helped me grow, and that through YOU a silly little blog idea became an accomplishment. So with a grateful heart to YOU I give thanks!01-DSC_0017

Thanks again for reading. Have a good weekend!

Maybe I’m getting a little bit ahead of myself but, is it Christmas yet? Because I’ve already made a wish list! ;)

I woke up with a horrible migraine today, and after a long nap and a few pain killers, I did what any girl does on a rainy yucky day, watched a chick flick and shopped online!

After all, I’ve had quite a few crazy weeks, so I feel like my body was just telling me to just lay low. And well, I listened… a little. I slept in till like 11 a.m, then I woke up: did laundry, cooked, cleaned out my closet and donated clothes and a few pairs of shoes.

Well, since I’ve created a little extra space in my closet, here are a few items I’ll be on the hunt for…

FALL IN MIAMI

There are several things I love about fall in Miami, okay, okay, maybe just one thing… That I can still enjoy a day at the beach and feel a slight change in the weather with-out freezing.  Even though Miami is sort of…well, season-less, and we may not really experience “falling of leaves”, this time of the year in Miami is perfect. (I’m talking about those occasional chilly/non-humid/great hair days). ;)

With that being said, my outfit post will not consist of sweaters and boots, but of a pair of my favorite pants and strappy heels. As much as I love over-sized sweaters and booties, I prefer light and airy while enjoying fall in the 305.

The Miami Beach Convention Center, the W hotel, and even some nightclubs host unofficial satellite gatherings featuring product launches and after parties.(Funkshion – Swim, for example, is offering runway shows open to the general public.
