With a Cherry on Top!

Filed under: Fashion · March 12, 2019

Confessions of a shopaholic: I walked by this shirt several times before purchasing it. I kept asking myself, am I really going to wear this? Do you ever do that? However, this top was on sale. It was about 60% off the ticket price and I couldn’t just leave it there, right? Believe it or not it hung in my closet for 2 months before I actually wore it. I guess I was waiting for the right time. Besides, it has bright red satin cherries all over it. Where am I going to wear it?

When shopping the clearance section, it’s great to find items that can be dressed up or dressed down. This blouse is fun, lightweight and you can roll the sleeves up if it is warm or let them out if its cooler. You can pair it with leggings, jeans, slacks or even a cute pencil skirt. I decided to go with my favorite la’gence jeggings and black slip on espadrilles. I had planned on getting my hair done and meeting a friend for lunch but #momlife and a home installation kept me at home most of the day.

So my style tip this week is don’t be afraid to wear cherries or bright colors or prints that you might not usually wear. Sometimes stepping out of the box leads to great things. Not just in fashion by the way. I have to tell you that I got a bunch of compliments when I finally wore it. I actually can’t wait to wear it again. How would you rock the cherry top?

Holiday Fashion on a Budget

Filed under: Fashion · December 3, 2018

The holidays are here and I am here for it. I love to see all of the decorations and lights all around Miami. I am sure most of you do too that’s why the malls are already so crowded. LOL! What’s not to love about Christmas in Miami? Okay it will be a lot warmer than everywhere else but hey we can wear sandals and strapless dresses all year round.

With the holiday hustle comes all of the parties, fundraisers and dinners out with friends. How many holiday parties do you have lined up? If you are looking for something to wear and tired of over spending, Rent the Runway might be the best kept secret for fashionistas. A few years ago a friend told me about RTR and I was like hmmm I don’t want to share clothes with anyone. I like to shop and look at it hanging up in my closet. But last month when I realized that I had 3 events back to back and nothing to wear, I thought that I would give it a try.

It was super easy to sign up. They have a few different rental options too. You can do a one time rental. This is perfect for weddings or formal affairs that you don’t want to buy a dress for. RTR update is when you just want a few pieces to play around with during the month. My favorite, RTR unlimited is a revolving closet that you can swap out as much as you want through out the month. Your first month is only $99. What isn’t so easy is picking out only four items with so much inventory to choose from. I must share that in my first order I got my sizes all wrong so I highly recommend that you read the comments about sizing options.

So if you are looking for a holiday wardrobe and don’t want to break the bank, give Rent the Runway a try. Not only do they have designer apparel, they also have nice handbags, accessories and outerwear. I am at the end of my first month and let me tell you it is addictive! I already wanted to buy all 4 pieces but I promised to be strong as I ran back to the UPS store to ship off my order! Happy Shopping or should I say renting! Click here for a special discount!

How I Styled My Definition Tee

Filed under: Fashion · November 11, 2018

Hey Sporty Mommas and friends!!! I have been getting some great feedback on the Definition of a Sporty Mommas tee, but some ladies asked how to style it!!! So here is a great example. On Saturday I had a super busy day as usual. The kids had basketball practice at the same time and I was trying to get to the “Werk it Moms” Momprenuer breakfast in the Gables. Yes all three things were happening at the same time. #busymomma

So I grabbed my “limited edition” metallic gold definition tee, my favorite camo jacket, black Nike sneakers and dashed out the door. One thing about graphic tees is they go with just about anything. Jeans, skirts, shorts, heels, flats or sneakers you can pair it with whatever makes you feel fabulous! I went with black on black because the gold would pop a little more. I was cute and so comfy that I wore the same outfit to the Miami Heat game later that night.

The best advice is to be comfortable. That is why I created this line. Busy mommas have enough on their plate and often don’t have time to get themselves all dolled up everyday. Sporty Mommas tees are fun, cute, comfy and make looking fabulous easy. Add your favorite handbag and a pop of color (I love red lipstick but I went with a frosted orange) and just rock it!!!! Take advantage of our free shipping going on all month with code BOSSMOM at checkout. Don’t forget to tag #sportymommas to be featured on our page.

Fashionista Friday

Filed under: Mom Life · May 21, 2016

Yesterday was our May Connection Luncheon for Femfessionals. As the President of the Miami Chapter, I spend a lot of time on my feet greeting guests and facilitating the event. That means that I need to not only look great but be comfortable as well. I got tons of compliments on my denim shirt dress from Zara. It was very comfy and I love the details on the back of the neck! I love shopping at Zara! Their prices are amazing and they are constantly receiving new merchandise, which means I shop there quite frequently. The best part about this look is that it is under $100! Shop the look!
