No more Sneakers


Sometimes sneakers just seem to be so immature unless you are on your way to the gym. And high heels sometimes can't always be accommodating to your daily lifestyle. So here are some alternatives to your nikes if you still want to be fashionable and trendy.

Enjoy the weather!

Reasons to move to NYC

I was in NYC a few weekends ago and these pictures are a reason of why I would move there











5 Weeks of Photos





So it's Tuesday afternoon and I have been at home all day watching the FIFA World Cup on my couch, cuddling with my dogs, in my gym clothes. Today is only the second day of my 5 week vacation. On the dining table there is a stack of mail and magazines ready to be opened and read. My ELLE magazine was underneath it all and OMF it finally came in the mail! I was wondering the other day when would I be getting the next issue. As I skimmed through it, I came across an article that talked about how much we depend on our iphones, computers, and TV. Sadly i made the connection to my well productive day on the couch. The only thing I look forward to is the gym time and that could NOT be the highlight of my day. As I read the article, the woman spoke about how beautiful her vacation spot is and how thankful she was for not having the TV in her hotel room to distract her from the natural beauty that was around her.


How could I do this to myself and let TV take control of my daily life! So I decided that I needed to do something exciting and different. My goal is to not spend money on having fun, buying clothes, and eating out. I will take my hobbies and put them to good use! I am going to take daily pictures and see what interesting things I find in new places. See you for the next 5 weeks of Photos!

Fashion Obsession: Chic Marine












The perfect look for a perfect summer season. I'm obsessed with the hues of blues matched with white vertical or horizontal lines. Add spunk with red or yellow colors to complete this Marine look. This will definitely make heads turn to check out your accessories and detailing on your outfit.

Thank you Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana for these wonderful examples.

La Roux the incredible




So I just have to say that this group called "La Roux" is incredible! Love her crazy hair from her fashionable runway make-up, to her asymmetrical/symmetrical clothes, to her loud colors. Definitely an inspiration to my wardrobe and style.

She also has other interesting songs such as "I'm not your toy" and "In for the kill". La Roux has a different sound than what you are used to hearing and it truly is refreshing.

Je T'aime Paris





Parisian Love... Why do people go to Paris to find love? It could be a stressed relationship that needs a new beginning. Or where newlyweds go to start their marriage with unforgettable romance, and irresistible passion. Streets filled with tiny intimate cafes, artists in the streets softly gliding their hands with paint brushes, filling up their blank canvases with modern impressionism art. Fashionistas providing the streets of Paris with their own runway shows and a showcase of the new incredible styles of the season.

Paris is definitely a place of public affection where lovers walk hand in hand, and the occasional kiss or two is unquestionably a symbol of love. This is where most people wish they could go to find true love (well at least for me). I imagine looking up at the Eiffel Tower at night, glamorously illuminated, with an imaginary soundtrack in my head of french music as I fabulously walk down Champs Elysées arm in arm with my french lover. Hopefully this opportunity would happen for me.

Never mind the rude parisians that you've heard about. I could see why they would be rude to atrociously dressed intruders of abroad. Paris is the fashion capital of the world! How much more perfect can a city be with old antique buildings, never loosing the essence of their history, pain, and architecture! Never out with the old, and in with the new. This is how classic Paris can truly be. Classic like red lipstick, classic like Chanel, classic like Marylin Monroe.

Who wouldn't love to see themselves as Carrie Bradshaw on the season 6 finale, "An American Girl in Paris part une et part deux"? I seriously cannot wait to go to Paris to start a new chapter in my life of overpowering love that is close to impossible to have in Florida. Along with my luggage full of fashionable outfits, coats, and shoes and my maltese puppy Steve-O by my side, I will join the love of my life in Paris in a few months.
