My last look from Miami… I wish I could snap my fingers and be back on this beach, but I have face the real world and it’s not so bad. You might have seen this look on instagram or in my Miami roundup post. I wore this to dinner in Boca Raton during swim week. Before we boarded a party bus that had a DJ booth, we snapped these pictures on the beach.

Last weekend I was able to attend my first Miami Swim Week with KYBOE! The experience was unreal and we really enjoyed every minute of our action packed itinerary. I wanted to share some highlights from the KYOBE! show and weekend. I hadn’t been to Miami in over 10 years but it was just as pretty (and hot) as I remembered. I was obsessed with all the colorful umbrellas on the beach at the hotel beach clubs. Let’s talk about the show… I had no idea how they were going to do a fashion show of only watches, but it did not disappoint. It started with watches coming down a conveyor belt on the center of a runway on mannequin hands, I’d never seen anything like it! Everyone got out their phones and was snapping away. About 30 seconds later models made their way down in swimwear matching the watches. It was so unexpected and fun, much like the weekend.
I’m a sucker for a scalloped detail. This is the perfect summer dress and the scalloped neckline makes it even better. I used to wear a lot of this color aqua but haven’t in awhile and forgot how much I love it. I’ll definitely be wearing more sea foam tones this season.
Is this week killing anyone else? Between my super swamped work schedule and last minute wedding things I feel like I’m losing my mind. Luckily we’re halfway through it. Mercury is definitely in retrograde.
To kick off Halloween week I’m bringing you my version of a ballerina. I’ve admired this tulle skirt from Shabby Apple for awhile, but I’m not really the kind of girl to wear it any old day. Luckily Halloween is a fun excuse to step outside your comfort zone. I kept my ballet look pretty simple but feminine, with a cropped sweater, high bun and ballet shoe colored heels… kinda like a ballerina “off duty,” but you could really run with this.
I’ve been on a full skirt hunt for awhile, but I completely forgot about this one I’ve probably had for five years! I updated it with cropped sweater and sequin jacket. I love putting a new spin on looks and adding my own touches. Speaking of that, I actually had my tailor crop this sweater when I couldn’t find one I liked.
I plan on wearing some version of this to ring in the new year. Do you have your outfit picked out yet?
sweater: aqua, jacket: rebecca taylor (on sale!), skirt: forever 21 (old // love this one in white), heels: target (similar), clutch: urban outfitters (similar)
This Cynthia Vincent blazer was a recent find but such a great staple/statement piece. I love how different it but it will still look great with so many pieces in my closet. This headband is an old fav of mine but paired with this look it was perfect for my company’s holiday party the other night.
headband: nordstrom (super similar), blazer: cynthia vincent (sold out but I’m also loving this cardigan), tank: aqua, skirt: target (similar), heels: zara (similar), bag: chanel
