My Fox House Finds

Fox House Fringe Cut Out Blouse Mink Pink Outrageous Fortune Cutoff Shorts

A few months ago I went to visit my friend Tobi and put together a few looks using items from her online boutique Fox House. She sells lots of sweet vintage pieces and also carries some of my favorite new brands. It’s definitely worthy of being on your short list of web shops.

This top is so cool, I love that both the back and front have fringe. Mink Pink is one of my favorite Australian brands and I immediately fell in love with these cutoffs. The print on these is sick so they’ve quickly entered rotation along with my Slasher shorts.

Rubber Ducky Backless dress

Another stellar back option. I love an exposed back, I think it’s one of the sexiest things ever. I bought this jacket right there on the spot and it’s been along for all my out of Florida travels. I don’t see it on the site so it may have sold out or not been listed yet.

This dress would look great with the aforementioned faux leather jacket or a solid colored kimono top. I also did a little interview for the Fox House blog, you can go check it out and see more photos from our little shoot.

Shooting for Nicole Richie x Macy’s Impulse

Oh hey, check me out in my messy office blogging it up. My last post I mentioned a project I was filming on Friday…well Friday turned into Saturday due to airlines not wanting to fly through storms and all that. So Saturday bright an early Macy’s took over my apartment for a little bit. We’re filming a little video for Nicole Richie’s capsule collection for Macy’s Impulse…ya know no big deal. I feel so lucky to have been chosen to partner with Nicole and Macy’s. I can’t wait for you guys to see the collection, it’s really cute and you’re definitely gonna wanna have a few of these pieces in your closet.

Jane the makeup artist packed up her kit, Mike and Chris the camera guys packed their equipment, and me I grabbed my tools of the trade; lots of clothes and accessories of course. We then headed to Touch Boutique in the Mimo District of Miami. I love this place, the decor is so cute and the owner Cynthia is a sweetheart. Thanks so much to her for letting us invade the store for a bit. Of course I bought something, couldn’t help myself.

We rounded out the day at Panther Coffee in the design district (thank you Joel!!), Ocean Drive, and of courseeeeee my favorite The Standard! I’m so happy my good friend Lily of Le Pretty Stellar came to have a drink with me so she’ll be in the video too. So many thanks to Amanda for letting us film at The Standard since it’s always the first place I think of when someone asks me for my favorite spots in Miami.

I’m not big on doing instagram only posts (so forgive me) but it’s really all I had time for running around doing outfit changes and trying to keep on schedule. I had a wonderful time and I absolutely loved my crew. Mike from Swell NY is the best and has such a positive energy, he was a pleasure to work with. I can’t wait to reveal the looks and the video to you guys, all this hush hush is driving me crazzzyyy.

This is a sponsored post but all opinions & fun had are obviously my own.

Gettin’ Wild

I’ve got a permanent tan so I can cross that off the old booty to-do list, the other stuff I’m definitely in need of. This was the 5th day out of 6 days for my Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim adventure so you know I was pretty much exhausted. The pouring rain that decided to come join the fun didn’t help either. I had to be on the beach super early to host a brunch with Salon Allure for their Sample Sale and I was sort of feeling like going home after. I’m glad I decided to stick around. Visiting the Wildfox Swim Cabana with my girl Natalie perked me right up.

I’m pretty sure I scared a few people with my photos on instagram, making them think they’d missed the show somehow. The actual runway show would take place the next day. It was really nice getting to see the collection up close and personal and getting to try on all the sunglasses. I thought last year’s collection was cute and fun but this year’s is sort of a must have. It’s really wearable, sexy and still really fun. That floral high waisted number…sigh.

So with Salon Allure, BCBG (meh), Gottex (skipped this one in favor of Wildfox and a real meal at The Raleigh), and Wildfox behind me on my agenda next was Red Carter, L*Space, Luli Fama, White Sands, and Suboo. Whew. Um…

I’m wearing my “I’m sick of the heat and I’m ready to go home” outfit. Haha. Basically a Urban Outfitters bralette, a Unif top, a hat so I don’t have to worry about my hair, and a Forever 21 skirt you can’t see. Oh and Hellz Bellz x Vans flats. Yeah that’s right…flats. I mean they’re leather and suede with buckles and chains so they’re totally acceptable.

Shardea Washington!!! She’s got a lot of hair, so this is impressive. Love working with her & seeing her working.

Red Carter was a really fun show. Loved the prints, the metallics, the disco ball purses, the styling, the basketweave pony tails, all of it. So well done.

L*Space was typical, nothing to write home about. Definitely pieces I’d want. That whole bronze body makeup thing was a big no though. Luli Fama was nice but it was long. Like really long. Like look at your watch long…ok you get it. White Sands as always was pretty and very girly. Loved their high waisted number but the styling was bad. Suboo was PERFECT. It was my first introduction to the brand and I loved so much. I left my camera in Natalie’s hotel room unfortunately but it was almost better that way. I want you guys to see the video from the show and drool with me. They have a Refinery 29 Shops deal going on right now too that’s just calling my name.

My friends over at Miami Style Mafia snapped this photo of me at the Tory Burch collection preview at the Delano Hotel. The only other outfit photo I had from this event is via instagram. I think this was my 4th MBFW Swim Week outfit. Can’t be sure, it’s all a blur now haha. I was really excited to wear this floral headpiece out and about. It was definitely a hit at the tents and events. The dress I feel I’ve worn to death but I’ve never gotten a chance to properly shoot it on the blog which is a shame because I adore it. It’s my first Gypsy Junkies piece and it definitely won’t be my last. I picked it up from Lulu’s with a gift code I won from my friend Kirstin’s blog.

More from Tory Burch. — A backstage shot from Mara Hoffman. Leather Wraped perfection.

The theme of the Mara Hoffman show was described as “desert outlaw gypsies”, can I totally claim that when people ask me to describe my style. I wish. The show was my swim/resort dream. Adorned in Pamela Love the models owned the runway.

I have a lot more favorite looks from this show but if I keep going we’ll be here all day. Check out the gallery and the video of the show for yourself, it’s not too be missed.

Back To School with Shop It To Me

Just wanted to make a quick post about a tv segment I was invited to take part in by Shop It To Me while in New York. It was a “Back to School” segment for Better TV and was a very different experience for me than my normal forays into the world of tv/movies. I’ve been an extra in both tv and film before and we’re usually told not to look at the camera. For this segment all I had to do was look at the camera. I also got the chance to step outside of my style zone and try something I wouldn’t normally wear with my “Borrowed from the Boys” ensemble. What do you think of it?

Also Shop It To Me is holding a contest this week where you can win a designer bag or a designer shoe, your choice! Which would you pick? I think I would go for the Christian Louboutin’s. They’re really cute and classic. You have to be a member of their sale personal shopping site to qualify. If you’re not already I have to ask…um why not?! I live for their emails every day. I’ve scored Dolce Vita’s at less than $25, seen the ever popular J Brand candy colored shorts for $70…it’s exhilarating trying to rush to get that discounted item before it sells out due to the amazing price. Who wouldn’t want to be notified when their favorite designer items go on sale.
