Hey, Let's Get Away

Been busy with life and all of the chaos of the world, but I'm finally getting a chance to blog some photos from my little getaway to Miami with the bf over the Fourth of July weekend.  It was crazy hot down there, like sweat drenched, hair frizzed, hopping around on the beach because the sand is too hot, hot.  Nonetheless, I had a great time, and the change of scenery was just what I needed. Checked out a nice local cuban spot, got in some beach time, had the south beach experience, and caught some casual nightlife in the Downtown/Brickell area.  Plus, I mean even when it's hot, you just can't beat an ocean breeze and a refreshing cocktail.  Check out a few snaps below and thanks for stopping by! Make sure to be kind to someone this week, it's always needed.

Started this outfit off with white converse and a denim shirt around the waist for comfortable travel, but both of those had to go in the disrespectful heat.

We ate at this place twice, and I felt like I gained a pound each time.  Totally worth it for casual dining (that's not ridiculously priced) with a fun atmosphere in South Beach.  Perfect for mornings after the party or late nights.

Fun night out in Brickell Village.  We tried out this place called Dolores, But You Can Call Me Lolita which had a such a gorgeous rooftop and amazing vibes.

Maxis and Midis

More photos from my birthday trip to New Orleans!  The weather was warm and breezy, so I kept it comfy in dresses during the day.  I scored both of these pieces from Express during a 40% off sale, and both ended up being perfect for this trip. This grey marbled midi was so comfortable and even had a cute back cutout that made it a little more interesting (which also was great for ventilation).  The maxi just made me feel like a diva! It was so beautiful when it caught the wind - it was like I had my own Beyonce fan. The fabric was thin enough to be breathable, with a liner that came down about mid-thigh for modesty.  But that front split was ev-er-y-thang! For both looks I kept the styling simple with hoop earrings and black sandals.  I'm finally learning how to pack light, but still be stylish.  This is huge for me as I am known for my over-packing (pats back).  Get into the details below and thanks for stopping by.
