LIGHT & BREEZY - SHIRT DRESS

 Outfit details: Dress: Ann Taylor Clipdot Shirt Dress/ Shoes: Zara (old) Love This from one of my favorite brands / Clutch: Madewell / Watch: Michael Kors  (Love THIS) / Necklace: Gift

I love this shirt dress so much! Whilst browsing through a mall in Miami a few months ago, my husband saw this beautiful dress and bought it for me -- he won major husband points. I wanted to wear the dress off the rack, since I was obsessed it with. The weather here has been crazy hot lately so for my God daughter's graduation this little number was a great pick. I am also totally obsessed with this necklace my friends gifted to me.

TWIRL

Outfit details: Skirt: Asos (on SALE) / Top: H&M (similar) / Shoes: Sole Society (similar) / 

The moment I laid eyes on this skirt, I kept thinking about twirling. Not only is it a super fancy girly skirt, but the color alone makes me happy and reminds me of some of the skirts and dresses I wore as a child. I really wanted to keep the attention on the fancy flounce/ peplum detail on this skirt, so I opted for a simple top with lace detailing and  my favorite pumps from Sole Society. I love this skirt so much I bought it in two colors.

OFFICE CHIC

Outfit details: Shirt: H&M / Pants: NY & Co.(Similar) / Shoes: Sole Society (similar)

While most people have a "work uniform" and I am not talking about the kind mandated by some employers, I am talking about the routine outfit you wear all the time, I am not that girl. While it's important to me to look professional, I won't be caught wearing the same boring outfits every week. On a weekly basis I can be seen wearing anything that reflects my personal style, which I tend to describe as "chic," from a floral dress with a light cardigan, ankle pants with a cute blouse, an outfit like the one above or jeans with whatever choice of blouse I am feeling that day, paired with our without a blazer or cardigan.

How would you describe your personal style?

OXBLOOD & LEOPARD

Outfit details: Blazer: Target (similar here & here) / Jeans: Levis / Flats: Target / Necklace: Boutique / Sunglasses: Ralph Lauren

Happy Friday! I hope you're all having a wonderful evening and looking forward to the weekend as much as I am. Here's a quick post of what I wore to work last Friday. While I love wearing heels, I also love a cute pair of flats and these Target leopard flats are one of my favorites. I decided to pair it with this oxblood blazer, also from Target and a statement necklace. This look can easily be transitioned for an evening out, by swapping out the flats for a pair of strappy heels / sandals. Wishing you all a fantastic weekend. xo

BOYFRIEND JEANS & A TEE

Outfit details: Tee: H&M / Jeans: Gap (similar here & here) / Sandals: Dolce Vita (sold out) similar / Handbag: Zara / Necklace: Boutique

Who loves boyfriend jeans as much as I do? There's something about them, that given the chance, I'll wear them at least twice a week. This pair from Gap is my absolute favorite, though I don't wear them enough. They can be dressed up or down and still be sexy. I last wore them in this post which was more of a dressed up look. How do you wear your boyfriend jeans?

Ps. I am so happy with my shorter hair, I was undecided at first but I am so glad I went ahead and cut it :-)

Even though I now live in the always sunny, sometimes rainy islands, I love when December rolls around because it gets a bit cooler and I can wear a light sweater, makes me feel like I am back in US. I miss fall, I should also mention it's my favorite time of the year. While all three looks can be fall appropriate with the addition of a pair of tights and a jacket I decided to create the last look with the chunky cable knit sweater because I really miss a cozy chunky sweater. The few I kept are hanging in my closet waiting for me to visit my family so they can come out to play.

BVI BLOGGERS DINNER

Outfit details: Top:: Express (old / love this) Skirt:: (similar / love this) / Shoes:: Sole Society / Bag:: Vintage Coach / Watch:: Michael Kors / Ring: House of Harlow 1960

Last Thursday evening I met with Chrissann from Women Who Live on Rocks & Adventures in Toucanland and Ice from Foolproof Living for dinner. Even though we live on the same little island we had never met, so after chatting via social media we planned to meet for dinner at Cocomaya. It was so nice to spend a great evening with two lovely ladies and get to know a little bit about both of them. I laughed so much that night, I found myself wondering "where have these ladies been all my life?" Believe me they are both HILARIOUS! Overall, it was just amazing to meet like minded women who share the same interest. Head over to both their blogs for a hilarious view of Island life and to learn about Chrissann's three Toucans and get some amazing, tasty recipes from Ice's blog; try the Baked Ziti it's DELICIOUS! Feel free to blame Ice for your addiction :-)

VACATION STYLE - VENICE

Venice, Italy oh how I love and adore thee! Even though we visited some beautiful  places on our trip, Venice stole my heart! Wait; scratch that, I left my heart in Venice. Words can't describe the beauty of the place and how relaxing it is. Apart from the delicious food and countless slices of Pizza I devoured, what I enjoyed most was walking around San Marco and visiting St. Mark's square, Rialto Bridge, the Basilica and other sites. I thoroughly enjoyed walking through the alleys while gazing upon the beautiful blue skies and freshly washed linens  hanging from window.

I loved that there were no cars! Everything was transported via water and in more ways than one, the place was a maze; there were occasions when we walked around a few times and couldn't help but laugh. Venice exceeded my expectations and I am so in love, I can't wait to visit again. The only bummer was that Marlon and I didn't get to go on a Gondola ride as planned because it rained a bit the evening we planned to go and the temps dropped so there was no way I was getting on the water. I can't wait to visit again!
