If you live in Miami, you definitely took witness to the beautiful sunset last night. I couldn’t help but to snap a pic!

Gap Striped Top (similar)| Target Plaid Blazer + Leopard Pants | YSL Colorblock Heels  (c/o Saks) | Half United Necklace | Nixon Watch | David Yurman Bracelet | Rings: Gifted

I. LOVE. TO. MIX. PRINTS. And when I found this plaid blazer at Target over the weekend, I just knew I had to pair it with something leopard. I just had to. And because of the unexpected red underneath the collar, I thought what better than to add more prints into the mix to contrast together with the red. Then you know with that kind of color combination, the only shoe that would be perfect for the job would be my YSL heels (it’s still so wild to me that I won these heels). Some may think it crazy, but I call it amazing. Absolutely amazing. And fun too, of course.

As you noticed, my necklace. I hope you noticed. I only put a big detail shot of it. Well, I never take it off. It’s a new favorite of mine. Not because of it’s “repurposed” vibes, but because of the cause it backs up and operates for: Fighting Hunger. I’ve had the opportunity to chat with Carmin + Christian, the brother sister duo who are founders of Half United, and they’re amazing! I’m working with them on a really cool project, so take this bit of news as the “Monday” sneak peek I totally missed. (Sorry I’ve been so MIA on the blog, it’s been a hectic couple of days.) I would definitely recommend that you check out their site, their story, and best of all: their necklaces! And get one. Because it’s not just the cool thing to do. It’s a good thing to do.

Hope you all have had a great week so far. One more day to go & it’s the weekend. Thank God!
see you soon. xoxo.

Christmas came real early for me this year. I entered an Instagram competition with Saks Fifth Avenue a few weeks ago and WON $1000 Gift Card! It was one of the most surprising and jaw dropping experiences ever to find out I had won. But once it got down to making my purchase or purchases, I freaked out. As many of you know, I’m a woman who maximizes her purchases and never splurges. I had no idea what to do, but at the same time I did. I wanted a new pair of shoes! After all those steal finds, it was my turn to finally purchase the splurge! Walking into the Saks shoe department was like walking into shoe heaven, no joke. All the brands I had dreamed of owning, were there at my fingertips ready to be told “I’m taking you home!” After trying on pair after pair, nothing made my heart go bonkers like these heels. Immediately when I put them on, I knew these were the ones. So I got them and I don’t want to take them off. Us women and our shoes….

Now in the spirit of giving I’ve teamed up with Nani and Kaki Lopez from N&K Designs to give away one of their neon rhinestone bracelets (like the one I’m wearing above)! They’re so fun and just the perfect thing to make your arm candy sparkle. Want to win? Here’s the catch:
