Inspiration...
I seem to be featuring some stylish friends and family this trip, so I though it was time to show off a really important one. My mom has always been a huge style inspiration to me. She loves to pair classic clothes with a flower-child twist; think crisp blazers and fun patterned scarves. Today she wore this adorable outfit to lunch - love the pink scarf on the white bag (you can see where I got...
Loose and relaxed...
On this trip, being in Florida feels a lot like being on vacation, as opposed to when I lived here…but I guess its appropriate since I actually AM on vacation.
In accordance with the no-school-no-stress-tropical atmosphere, I’m keeping it relaxed with slouchy silhouettes in bright colors or fun patterns. Today it was my pink skinny jeans and blush sweater since we had a ‘cold...
80 degrees...
How can you beat jumping in the ocean on Christmas day? Not so traditional - but oh so awesome. :)
Right after the holiday, I came down to Miami to spend a few days with my BFF Gaby. We took outfit pictures before we hit the mall. I forgot out fun it was to shop with someone as stylish as Gaby! We had a blast <3

Home sweet home...
I flew into Florida last night and holy-climate-change-batman! It’s an insanely gorgeous day - but HOT. I’ve taken a million pictures already and I haven’t even been here for 24 hours. It is good to be home :)

I wore this for some quick last-minute holiday shopping with sister -...
Some more fur...
I seriously can’t get enough of fur this season! It feels totally festive and not to mention super warm. Today I paired my faux-fur vest with a classic work outfit - crisp white shirt and grey pants. Fun and holiday-appropriate!

I'm in Instyle Magazine!
If you turn to page 24 in this month’s Instyle Magazine, you will see a familliar face - MINE!! Ahhhh!! Give me a moment to jump around the room in celebration!!
….
Ok - victory dance completed. I had sent in a picture to the magazine after reading the November issue. They had an awesome story about how to punch up your work wardrobe. I think all...
On Wednesdays we wear pink...
Happy Humpday! I feels to me like it should be Friday already. Now that finals are done I am ready to have a little fun - after I recover from this cold that set in literally right as I turned in my last exam (thank you body for fighting it off just long enough!). Hopefully with enough tea (I’ve been guzzling it by the gallon) and movies in bed (Crazy Stupid Love is the most adorable...
Back in action...
I took a little blogging hiatus this week to head down to Florida to celebrate the wedding of my best friend Jess and her amazing new husband Jordan. I have never seen such a beautiful bride - or a happier one. :) It’s so amazing when good things happen to good people. It meant SO much to be a part of their amazing day. <3
The weekend was just unbelievable - and I’m still...
CK's Weekly Warm-up: Winter Essentials
Hello there friends! I finished the draft of my first final (only took me 10 hours!) so I figured I would give myself a little break to watch some Glee and blog a bit before starting on final number two!
I have recently become enlightened with a few amazing winter essentials which I wanted to share with you. You northerners might already know what you absolutely need for up here - but for me...
Busy busy busy...
Thanks so much for all your input on my bridal brunch outfit!! The wrap dress has gotten by far the most votes - tomorrow I have to go find a lace-cami to pair underneath it. I love that it’s just one piece, which totally helps me narrow down my packing (saying that I tend to overpack is a gross understatement). The runner up was Floral-schmoral - it also got a ton of votes (and was my...
Opinion my minions....
So my dear readers, real and imaginary, I need your fashion opinions! My BFF Jessica is getting married next week to the most amazing guy and I am her MOH (yay!!). Now that means a bunch of fabulous events that I get to dress up for, which is where you guys come in. I need opinions on what to wear to the bridal brunch. What originally came to mind was a feminine sundress ala Charlotte York,...

Weekly warm-up: just plain FUN
It hasn’t been super cold this week (thank goodness!) so I don’t have too much to talk about regarding things that have been keeping me warm. Instead, I want to talk about something FUN. There are always those dream items that girls wish they had in their wardrobe - those things that are not practical at all and purely for pleasure (gold lame dresses anyone?).
For me, living in...
A touch of luxe...
My family is more of a jeans-wearing, comfortable Thanksgiving type of family…but that doesn’t mean that I wanted to go completely casual (special occasions and all). I topped my jeans with a silverish blouse and a faux-fur vest (which totally reminded me of Chewbacca but you don’t see me complaining!).
vest and sunnies: forever 21, jeans: arden b, blouse: target, boots:...
The holiday spirit...
I was telling one of my friends earlier this week that it didn’t REALLY feel like Thanksgiving because it was too cold. I know, I know - but I grew up in South Florida!. You Florida people know, we hit the beach on Thanksgiving and wear flip flops - we are lucky if the weather requires a cardigan. But as I drove to my Dad’s house tonight with my Christmas Carols on, in my big winter...
A case of the Mondays...
Despite the rain this am, I was in a good mood thanks to Starbucks (thanks Chase rewards!) and the reminder that it is only a three day week!!
There’s nothing that will brighten my rainy mornings like a humongous hot green tea, breakfast sandwich, and spying the new Michael Buble Christmas album (I WANT). Also, thank goodness for this trench - it really is fool-proof (and my go-to when...
