The first day of Spring was last week and I couldn't be more excited. Although I'm not excited about all the rain that comes with the Spring weather, I can't wait to wear my Spring dresses and florals. This Free People dress I purchased at the end of last summer and it took me forever to hunt down; luckily they added this dress to their SS16 collection in black and blue so you can also add this to your closet. I wore this dress on my trip to Mexico back in September and everyone thought I had purchased it from a local store. 

Splurge vs. Steal: Fourth of July



I've spent the past 9 years being called the nickname "America" so when it comes to the Fourth of July, I feel like it is my duty to wear the colors of the American Flag: red, white and blue, alll day long. I spent this Fourth of July in Disney World with my family and at night when we went to dinner I quickly changed into a dress covered in stars and paired with red flats. When it comes to Fourth of July I try to buy pieces that I can reuse so it doesn't bother me to splurge a little. I also perfer to wear star-covered pieces because I wear stripes about twice a week so I like some change. The above pieces are all pieces that were or are currently on my wishlist and can all be purchased at Farfetch. They pay be a tad bit on the splurge side but as I said  before they're pieces that you can reuse for years to come. The steal version of this outfit can be found here. I hope everyone had a lovely Fourth of July and enjoyed some great fireworks. Below are some of my favorite Fourth of July pieces and also red, white, and blue pieces.

It is 2015 and I know I am a little behind but my Christmas Eve and New Years outfits will be on the blog next week! My photographer has been busy with the holidays but I promise the pictures will be up next week. The past two weeks I had family and some of my friends in town so comfort was beyond important for me and after wearing heels for several days my feet were killing me but the Chloé scallop flats have saved the day; they are the most comfortable flats I have ever purchased and I highly recommend them. The weather in Miami has been really confusing, in the morning it's cool and in the afternoon it's hot and it makes it difficult getting dressed in the morning. Lately I've been wearing light sweaters and blazers over my clothes because it'll keep me warm when the temperature drops and in the afternoon I can take it off so I don't have a heatstroke.
