SUN. SAND. STYLE.

In my eyes, there are 3 types of Miami people:

Those who LOVE the beach and go all year-round.
Those who LIKE the beach and only go from May – July.
Those who DISLIKE the beach and blame it on the sand.

Which one do you think I am? Take a guess?

Well, did you know that the official first day of Summer this year is Friday, June 21? However, we all know that most Miami folks start going to the beach waaaaay before, which can be both awesome and pretty annoying. Even more so in the month of May…

Miguel and I went to the beach last weekend and we literally spent an hour and a half looking for parking. ( And yes I’m a Miami girl, I say literally! :))

So, in case you’re headed to the beach this weekend or happen to be planning a beach getaway; here are a few Summer essentials each under $50.

PS: If you’re headed to Miami Beach and want to find a good parking spot, be sure to arrive early and before the crazy mid-day crowds. If not, just count on spending $20+.

PSS: I SWEAR by wearing sunblock and my Acai Kiehls Moisturizer! I’ve been wearing it daily for years!

Happy Friday!

MIAMI FASHION WEEK CLOSING

Needless to say, the Miami Fashion Week closing event was the most crowded event of the week. The show kicked off with the Miami Moda & Music Awards which was filmed live for TV. The fashion show lineup featured collections by Roberto Cavalli, Alberta Ferreti, Bluemarine, Iceberg, Byblos, Moschino, Kriza, Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney.

And since it was also Miami Bridal Week, they presented Rosa Clará, one of the world’s top bridal designers with the International Bridal Designer of the Year award.

So here’s a preview of the evening, featuring some of my favorite pieces.

Lusting after this Roberto Cavalli look….
This was by far my favorite look of the week. Loved the patterns and the fit.

Skirt Suit by Vivienne Westwood

Moschino Dress

Bridal Gowns by Rosa Clará

And the finale, showcasing all the designers…

FESTIVAL FLAIR

Plan on heading to the 2013 Ultra Music Festival, or to Winter Music Conference?

Not quite sure how to accessorize? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

One of the projects that we’ll be working on this year is to try to add an online shop to the blog. The online store will most likely be called FlairEnvy. Not only was FlairMiami too location specific, but my friend Nicole and I were thinking of teaming up and being business partners in this new endeavor. Well, as we were trying to think of names and playing with the letters N and V, we realized N+V=Envy! It’s definitely not rocket science, but it has a ring to it and we like it!!

Anyway, our store will sell hand-made/vintage/revamped one-of-a-kind items. Check out some of our floral head bands and floral crowns available for sale today.

For more info and to place your orders email FlairNV@FlairMiami.com, just let us know which one you like and we’ll send it over in time for the weekend festivities.

For a closer look, check out the slideshow below…

GRABIT ROBOT

Trinkits Design, a West Palm Beach design company dedicated to creating products that combine “functionality and timeless artistic design” launch a crowd-funding Kickstarter campaign to kick off their first product, the Grabit Robot!

Allow me to introduce to you Angie and Leo Fajardo… (By the way, Angie is my awesome older sister and Leo is my creative brother-in-law. ;))

Leo and Angie Fajardo are the faces behind Grabit Robot. Their design concept stemmed from a lack of existing tooth brush holders that fit their needs and style, but now they need YOUR help as they seek to reach their $7,000 goal. Once this goal is reached, this amount will go toward the production and shipping of their project. Your pledge will allow Gabrit Robot to come to full fruition.

“Kickstarter is a great vehicle for young entrepreneurs like us. Crowd funding is a revolutionary way of branding and funding for start-ups,” said Angie Fajardo.

Kickstarter is an online funding platform that allows creative projects to come to life. Many film-makers, artists, designers, and musicians have fully funded and launched their product with the help of individuals like you. This all-or-nothing approach means that if the project falls no one is charged. But if the project reaches its goal, as over 35,000 projects have, you as a funding pledge get rewards and perks.

Now, Grabit Robot needs your help! This multi-purpose modern holder is a work of art made of durable plastic, standing at 5 inches tall.

Grabit is sure to make a great companion for all! It can serve as a bathroom friend for kids and grown-ups, and even a desk companion in the office. Grabit will keep things tidy and add a little fun & flair to a dull environment.

There are only a few days to go! Will you be a founding contributor and own your very own Grabit Robot?

FUN BUSYNESS

It’s been a while since our last post, please forgive us.

With the Coconut Grove Arts Festival, Social Media Week, South Beach Wine and Food Festival and now the Miami Film Festival (happening this weekend) there has definitely been tons to post about. But both Giselle and I have been swamped.

I personally have been busy in all aspects of life (good thing I don’t have kids to neglect yet) from friend’s showers, weddings, work, press events, and even personal things… It’s been a little crazy.

If I may fill you in on my personal life a bit, I got a promotion at work. Woo hoo! My official title is now Director of Connect Ministry. Wondering what that means? Me too ;)

Just kidding, I know what it means. I now oversee all adult connect points at Christ Journey Church, from guest services and hospitality, membership and baptism, events for men and women, to groups. Quite a handful… needless to say, I feel like God has definitely placed me where I need to be. Not too long ago I had been praying about my next “professional” move, and in specific I prayed for a “challenging position where I could grow and my gifts could be utilized.” Well God answered my prayers, but I never really thought I’d be working at church this long; nor that I was the “church employee” type. But it’s been a great overall experience, and I am definitely thankful.

Oh, did I mention Miguel (my husband) and I bought a house? We’re homeowners, yeay!!! (Thank you God for blessing us beyond what we could imagine.)

Anyway, all that to say… I was busy. But that doesn’t mean I’ll stop blogging. I promise to make this a priority, this is my creative outlet where I get to share with you my love for all things that begin with the letter F. ;) (Fashion, fitness, food and fun.)

So, thank you for reading and for joining me on this journey… And well, as you know, today is Fashion Friday… So here’s what Giselle and I wore to one of the Social Media Week events.

An all day event called for a comfy casual look. Hope you enjoy.

___________________

Con el Coconut Grove Arts Festival, Social Media Week, South Beach Wine & Food Festival y ahora el Festival de Cine de Miami (occuriendo este fin de semana) ha sido sin duda una semana muy ocupada. Giselle y yo hemos estado inundadas.

Yo personalmente he estado ocupada en todos los aspectos de mi vida (menos mal que no tengo hijos para descuidar.)

Si me permites quiciera contarte algo de mi vida personal… recibi una promoción en el trabajo. Woo hoo! Mi título oficial es Directora del Ministerio Connect. Te preguntas qué significa eso? Yo también

Mentira, yo sé lo que significa. Basicamente significa que hora estoy encargada de supervisar todos los puntos de conexión enla Iglesia de Christ Journey. Superviso los servicios de los clientes y la hospitalidad, el bautismo, eventos de hombres y de mujeres, y tambien los grupos. Defnitivamente me siento que Dios me ha colocado donde tengo que estar, no hace mucho tiempo había estado orando por mi carrera “profesional” y en específico oré por una “posición en la que podría crecer y mis pasiones podrían ser utilizadas.” Pues Dios respondió mis oraciones, pero nunca pensé que realmente estaría trabajando en una iglesia tanto tiempo. Pero en general ha sido una gran experiencia, y definitivamente estoy agradecida.

¿He mencionado que Miguel (mi marido) y yo compramos una casa? Somos dueños de casa, yeay! (Gracias a Dios por bendecirnos más allá de lo que podríamos imaginar.)

De todos modos, todo lo quize decir con todo esto es que e estado muy ocupada. Pero eso no significa que voy a dejar de bloguear. Me comprometo a hacer de esto una prioridad, pues este es mi espacio creativo donde puedo compartir con ustedes mi amor por todas las cosas que comienzan con la letra F. :) (Fashion, fitness, food and fun.)

Así que, gracias por leer y por acompañarme en este viaje… Y bueno, como ustedes saben, hoy es Fashion Friday… Así que aquí esta lo que Giselle y yo llevabamos puesto uno de los dias de Social Media Week.

Este evento que duro todo el día necesitaba un look casual y cómodo. Espero que les guste.

FIVE FAVORITES: NEUTRAL NUDES

Is it Spring yet? Because it sure doesn’t feel like Winter around here…

And since I can’t really be wearing boots and scarves around Miami, I officially want it to be Spring. Oh and yes, I am definitely jealous of all the Miami bloggers that got to experience a blizzard in New York, while enjoying Fashion Week. :( Maybe next year I can plan some vacation time around Fashion Week, I miss NY. (Or maybe, just maybe, Miami will someday get a Fashion Week of our own. Other than Swim Week of course, one can only dream…)

Till then… I am ready to bring in some neutrals and pastels into my life! The nice thing about nude is that it is such a neutral color that it can be incorporated all year long. But I’m especially excited for Spring to arrive because this season, opposites attract!

This Spring trend will be known for intermixing blacks, whites, and nudes! Woo hoo! Three of my classic favorites.

And so in light of Fashion Friday, today I thought I’d begin a new Flair Miami trend known as… “Five Favorites.” Drum roll, please?

Here are today’s five favorite nude items currently on my wish list. What’s on yours?

Todavía no estamos en primavera? Porque por aca no parece ser invierno…

Y ya que no puedo estar usando botas y bufandas en Miami, ya oficialmente quiero que sea primavera. Ah, y sí, definitivamente estoy muy celosa de todas las bloggers de Miami que fueron a Nueva York en la Semana de Fashion Week… (Tal vez el año que viene llego a planear unos días de vacaciones que coincidan con Fashion Week, hace tiempo que no voy a Nueva York. (O tal vez, sólo tal vez, algún día, Miami tendrá un Fashion Week propio. Además de Swim Week, por supuesto. Mientras tanto sólo puedo soñar …)

Hasta entonces, estoy dispuesta a ponerme unos colores neutrales, sea o no sea primavera! Lo bueno de el color beige es que es un color neutro que se puede incorporar todo el año. Pero estoy especialmente emocionada por que llege la primavera, porque en esta temporada los color opuestos se pueden mesclar!Esta tendencia de primavera se dará a conocer a los negros, y blancos, entremezclados con beige! Woo hoo! Tres de mis colores favoritos clásicos. Y bueno, hoy quiciera introducir una nueva forma de Fashion Fridays… se llama Cinco Favoritos. Redoble de tambores, por favor?

Aquí están hoy mis cinco artículos favoritos de color beige. Estos por ahora, estan en mi lista de deseos. ¿Qué hay en la tuya?
