MIAMI FROYO

It just so happens that two of my favorite things star with ‘f’s’. Can you guess them? Fashion and FROYO.

To me, finding your favorite frozen yogurt is sort of like finding your favorite hair stylist. You try, and try, and experience some bad ones until you find one you love and are faithful to forever. Well, my quest for the best froyo in town has ended, and guess what, I found the best Miami froyo. There are 4 locations to choose from in Miami and over 1,300 in 46 countries.

Yogen Früz is a self-serve frozen yogurt heaven… In 1986, two brothers opened a frozen yogurt retail concept in Toronto, Canada. The small store turned into an extraordinary product and a great design.

Yogen Früz is delicious and nutritious, just what you need to live a healthy and active lifestyle. The one I go to is located right on Lincoln Road… With plenty of flavors and toppings to choose from, you can’t go wrong!  Who doesn’t love a big cup of frozen yogurt on a warm sunny day? I know I don’t mind it!

If you know anything about me you would know…. I love food. I love going to new places and stepping out of my food comfort zone. The moment I find a unique restaurant I love I can’t stop raving about it, and I always recommend it to friends and family.

With that said, I have a restaurant recommendation for you! And it’s all in the buns. Buns & Buns to be exact. :)

If you’re a fan of distinctive flavors, fresh ingredients and savory spices while on a budget Buns & Buns should be where you’re headed to for lunch. Located in the heart of South Miami, Buns & Buns has something a little different to offer than most restaurants and that is buns from all around the world. From London and Istanbul to Hong Kong & Bangkok Buns & Buns is known for, well, their delicious buns.

So, are you sold yet? Because I know I am.

Don’t you just love it when you see celebrities dressed in clothes that the every day girl can afford? I know I do! And that’s why I’ve got my eye on Taylor Swift. She always seems to surprise me when it comes to her fashion sense.  Everything she wears has a unique Taylor Twist ;) and it’s always fun to see what she’ll walk out in next.

But it’s this one look I fell in love with and guess what? It’s H&M!

 

Celebrity Inspired

• H M crop top, $24

• H M Skirt, $29

• Casadei leather shoes

• ALDO tote bag, $82

• Ray-Ban sunglasses

What’s there NOT to love about Taylor’s style? She knows how to keep it feminine, classy and young all at once.

Rules, rules, rules…

I’m sure you’ve heard them before, but I say, break the rules and wear the horizontal stripes anyway!

Only those who lack confidence and a sense of style, actually stick to fashion rules… And if you’re reading this, I KNOW you are NOT one of them.

Fashion rules are made to be broken. Ready to join me? Go ahead, break the rules!

10 Irrelevant Fashion Rules:

  1. Horizontal stripes are not flattering – Says who?
  2. Mixing prints is unacceptable – Not anymore!
  3. Don’t wear white after Labor Day – Thanks, but I think I will!
  4. Never mix gold & silver – That thought is so dated.
  5. Navy & black don’t match – I beg to differ…
  6. Sequins should only be worn at night – Should’a, could’a, would’a.
  7. Head-to-toe matching is a no-no – Maybe if you live under a rock.
  8. T-shirts are only for sleeping/exercising – You’re obviously shopping at the wrong places.
  9. Pajamas are meant for sleeping – Try again, they also make fun tops!
  10. Less is more – Hmmm, maybe, but not for statement pieces.

Time to walk the talk and break the rules! Today’s look featured a simple horizontal striped dress for a classy and chic look. I also ditched the less is more rule and added a whole lot’a bling. Now, the trick to wearing stripes is knowing your body-type and paying attention to the placement and width of the stripes.

Stripes can play an optical illusion and YOU get to decide whether that’s a good thing or bad thing. ;)

Reglas, reglas, y mas reglas…

Estoy segura que ya las has escuchado antes, pero hoy te digo: “rompe las reglas y ponte las rayas horizontales de todos modos!”

Sólo las personas sin sentido de estilo adhieren a las reglas de moda… Y si estás leyendo esto, sé que tu no eres una de ellas.

Igual, las reglas de la moda están hechas para romperlas, no? Lista para romperlas?!

10 Reglas de moda que ahora son irrelevante:

  1. Rayas horizontales no quedan bien a todos- ¿Quién dice ?
  2. Mezclar estampados es inaceptable – ¡Ya, no!
  3. Después de Labor Day uno no debe usar el color blanco- Gracias, pero no lo creo!
  4. Nunca mezcle el oro y la plata – Ese pensamiento es tan anticuado.
  5. Azul ozcuro y negro no coinciden – No estoy de acuerdo …
  6. Lentejuelas sólo se deben usar en la noche – Si eres aburrida!
  7. Combinar de pies a cabeza es un no-no – Tal vez si vives bajo una piedra.
  8. Las camisetas se usan sólo para dormir o hacer ejercicio – Talvez has estado haciendo compras en lugares equivocados .
  9. Pijamas son para dormir – De vez en cuando, también hacen tops divertidos!
  10. Menos es más – Hmmm, tal vez, pero no siempre.

Y ahora, es hora de predicar con ejemplo y romper las reglas! Mi look de hoy contó con un vestido de rayas para un aspecto elegante y chic. También me deshice de la regla “menos es más”  y lo combine con un collar con mucho “bling” . Ahora, el secreto de usar ropa con rayas es conocer a tu tipo de cuerpo y prestar atención a la colocación y el ancho de las rayas.

Las rayas pueden ayudarte a crear una ilusión óptica y tu decides si eso es algo bueno o algo malo. ;)
