    Romantic Floral Favorites 

    We posted about florals earlier this season and I continue to see lovely options everywhere. I have found a few new styles that are casual and easy to wear.  The best part…they work well with things already in your closet.  When I am out and about running errands, I like to look as pulled together as possible…the top and sweater below are excellent options for this and the dress is ideal for a lunch or happy hour with friends. Style & Life Blog: Romantic Floral Favorites

    This pretty little number is a fun find…it’s a high low dress with shorts underneath, which makes it incredibly comfortable. The romantic floral print and lace trim give it a soft and feminine vibe. Available at www.nordstrom.com

    Although temperatures are hot in Miami, the air conditioning gets cold so light sweaters like this are perfect. Available at www.joie.com.

     

    It might sound a bit unusual but I like the scent I am wearing to have the same vibe as my outfit. When I discovered these Poetic License products while creating my Mother’s Day Gift Guide, I immediately ordered more because they smell divine. This scent is light, fresh and feminine. Available at www.anthropologie.com.

    A Classic Palette…Blue and White 

    I was traveling recently and noticed a gorgeous woman who was traveling with her family in tow. She breezed through security with kids, luggage and looked fabulous.  She was dressed simply…a pair of slim white denim and a classic blue and white striped blouse. Nothing fussy or complicated, but it looked so elegant that it inspired me to write this blog post. I have curated a few looks that are blue and white or just white that you can wear all summer long.

    Red Hot

    It does not matter the season, red is the one pop color that is always in style. Often when I feel fatigued, I will wear a bright color like red to distract from the bags under my eyes. It somehow makes your skin look warmer and eyes look brighter. Feel free to use this little style tip for those days when you are feeling tired or even a bit sad, I think the red will give you a little energy boost. With warmer days upon us, these red hot pieces will add a touch of spice into your wardrobe…
