Ok, so I know it's an unwritten fashion rule that wearing white after Labor Day is a no-no but let's be real. Those rules were made back in the day where you only wore black to funerals and women weren't supposed to wear jeans at all so I'm making it my rule that I'm going to rock white all year long. And let's be real, when you're in Miami it doesn't matter what time of year it is, it's always acceptable to wear white!

This dress was actually the last dress I wore out in Miami when I was there last month and I seriously don't remember the last time I got so many compliments on an outfit! I knew I had to wear at least one all white outfit while I was in South Beach since everything on South Beach is white, black and white or white and blue. I really wish I would have had more time in South Beach to explore and take more pictures of the gorgeous Art Deco architecture while I was there! I honestly never had a huge desire to visit South Beach before this work trip but now that I've been there I will definitely be going back... but mainly for the food. Ok, now back to the outfit! I am obsessed with the different cutouts on this dress giving it texture to the all white. I usually don't buy a lot of things from H&M due to the quality but this dress doesn't feel or look at all like something you would normally get at H&M. The material is much heavier and even the back zipper is stitched in different. I topped off my look with my Jeffrey Campbell wedges of course. I could seriously walk for miles in those shoes which is a good thing since I did! What do you think about wearing white after Labor Day?

Happy halfway day lovelies! This week has been a busy one so I am glad it's all down here from here. In fact, today and tomorrow I'm attending a digital marketing boot camp down by Universal Studios so I'll probably be MIA during that but in all honesty, I could use a little refresher. The only thing that really sucks about it is it's probably going to make for some long days the next two days. Blah. While I have been loving neutrals lately, when I saw this fun red top in H&M I knew I had to try it on. H&M is always super hit or miss for me so when I tried it on and it was actually cute on I was pleasantly surprised!

Even though it's starting to get cooler outside, it's still easily warm enough to wear tank tops so I decided I'd scoop this top up and I'm so happy I did!
This was another outfit I wore out in Miami for the event I attended last month and it was perfect for the slightly cooler, rainy day we had. I love the ruffled details and the strappy neckline and it was flowy enough that I felt comfortable completely stuffing my face with all the steak and truffle fries from STK at lunch. If you've never been to STK... delicious! We just recently had one open up here in Orlando but I hadn't checked it out yet and while it's not a restaurant I'd make an effort to go to on a regular basis, it definitely is yummy enough for me to make a trip down there for a special occasion! I finished off my look with a pair of white skinny jeans and my super comfy Jeffrey Campbell wedges since I knew I'd be walking a few miles. And my oversized Kate Spade tote was perfect for carrying two... yup two, SLR cameras and my iPad.

Happy Tuesday dolls! When I posted my first Islamorada recap last week I had a few people asking me where I got this dress from and I promised it'd be on the blog so here it is! :) I wore this dress out to dinner and drinks on the beach while on vacation and it was the perfect maxi to keep me cool and still look chic since we were at a pretty upscale resort. Although excuse my salty hair, we spent the entire day out at the beach and all we did was a quick rinse off before heading out to dinner so my hair was full of salt and sand, just as it should be on vacation!
These pictures were all taken at the Cheeca Lodge Resort near their spa on property. The waterfall and lagoon area were so relaxing and tranquil, I could have easily just hung out there all day, although I'm pretty sure I would have eventually wanted to jump in that water! This dress is such a great LBD for vacation or just every day wear. The cut outs on the side make it a bit sexy without showing off too much and the material is soft and clingy but in a flattering way. I love that it's not super long either since this short girl really didn't feel like wearing heels out all day! The best part? It's under $20! I paired the dress with my lace up dv sandals for a casual yet still cute look and my favorite pair of tassel earrings. I'm all about the tassels lately and these are so fun!
