We\’ve all have heard the expression, \”home is where the heart is.\” We\’ve heard it in a Hallmark movie, probably have seen it on an inspirational quote magnet, or even read it on an embroidered pillow. All kidding aside, this post took me a bit to write because I often struggled with that saying. I …
I like to make a statement anywhere I go, and what better trend says \’hey, look at me!\’ than power shoulders! Yasssss queen, I am all here for it. It\’s an 80\’s trend that I wish never died. I remember vividly my mom getting dressed in the morning in one of her fabulous suits and …

I do have to say though, the longer we\’re …
It looks like I have polka dots on the brain, because based on some recent Instagram posts, I have polka dot crazy! I keep gravitating to spotted outfits or certain pieces in my closet because it\’s such a fun pattern and also easy to mix and match! Or in this case, wear those dots from …
The summer season will soon be coming to a close (while the calendar might say so, South Florida begs to differ), and that means time to enjoy all that Miami has to offer in terms of beach, pool, boat excursions, and beyond. If you\’re squeezing in some last minute summer travels for Labor Day, bon …
There\’s no doubt that South Florida takes the cake when it comes to animal print trends. It is a fact (I\’ve asked my big retail buyers) that Miami leads the way when it comes to leopard, snakeskin, and basically any animal print/pattern that hits the market. Let\’s face it.
