Transitioning To Fall
I've mentioned before that I didn't really want summer to end just yet. Well that was then & this is now... I'm 100% over this heat already. I know that Miami doesn't necessarily experience Autumn, or even winter for that matter, but I'm all for the temperature dropping by at least 10 degrees because it's exhausting.
I think that this is the perfect summer-to-fall transition outfit, the colors really give off a fall vibe but I can still wear this in 95+ degree weather. I will be doing a post on my favorite upcoming fall trends but high-waisted wide-legged pants ( & this camel color) are amongst the trends that I'm loving for the new season. I also feel as though you can wear these kind of pants throughout the entire year, so that's always a plus :)
The pants go with pretty much anything but since it's still so hot here I paired it with this Brandy Melville tee. Previously, I've mentioned how much I'm loving orange lately so when I saw this shirt I had to have it.I also paired it with my hieleven bag which, I have a feeling, is going to be a fall staple of mine this year & of course, I always pull out my old skool vans this time of year.
These have been my go-to sunglasses lately. I love how they give the effect of a cat-eye without being over-the-top & I'm also really into the tortoise shell, I feel like it brings warmth & screams fall.

Little Wrap Dress
Just matching with the fruits. Here's a little shoot I did while filming my latest video which is a summer lookbook, be sure to check it out if you haven't already I had a lot of fun editing it :) I'm really going to miss summer dresses but I am most definitely not going to miss this ridiculous heat. Miami just gets hotter by the year and I've noticed that with each passing summer I have no choice but to wear less and less on my body during the day lol. This wrap dress is so perfect for these hot summer days.
It is no surprise that I love warm neutral tones but lately I've really been loving reds, oranges and yellows so when I passed by this fruit tree I thought it would be the perfect video/photo backdrop.
I paired the dress with my favorite woven bag, some lace up sandals and my new go-to necklace from cinco store. I'm really loving coin necklaces lately & even though this isn't exactly a coin it gives the same vibe, it is pretty subtle but makes such a statement.

Friday Five
1. It is no surprise that I have a serious love for candles and it is even less of a surprise that PF Candle Co happens to be one of my favorite candle companies. They were kind enough to send me their latest scent Piñon last month to test out prior to their launch on August 15th. It really amazes me how they top their previous scents every time. You think, there's no way they can make another scent as good as their current collection but yes, yes they could... & they did. Personally, I love warm, some-what masculine scents that are still fresh and not over-bearing and that is exactly what this candle smells like. It has the perfect hint of both warmth and freshness, I cannot stop burning it. I've only had it for a couple of weeks and am already almost half way. Really recommend this brand if you're looking for candles and definitely be on the lookout for their launch on Tuesday the 15th.
2. This week I received a lovely package from Saturday Skin. They were kind enough to send me their balancing act skin smoothing lotion, which I use during the day, their feather weight daily moisturizer, which I use at night and their hydrating masks, which are probably the best hydrating sheet masks I've every tried. I've only tried them for a couple of days but so far my dry skin is LOVING everything.
3. If you guys follow me on IG you have probably already seen this little beauty from Hieleven. So in love, I really appreciate bags that remain small and compact but still have some kind of compartmentalization. It helps me keep everything organized. I also can't get over the design, I've been really into circular designs lately and I love how simple the ring on this is, yet it still makes a statement. It reminds me of Chloe bags, which I love, but can't justify purchasing at the moment.
4. Say hello to my new favorite powder! I've only had this powder for a couple of days but it doesn't take very long for me to determine if a powder works for me or not. I use this all over my face and underneath my eyes and it works perfectly, despite the fact that I have dry skin. It does not crease or look cakey. It just melts into the skin and helps your makeup last all day. Stay tuned for an upcoming video of this little guy in action.Get 20% off your first glossier order by shopping with me here. 5. Not sure if you guys noticed but I changed my blog this week. Not only did I change the theme but I actually moved on over to the wonderful world of Wordpress. I started my blogspot many, many moons ago and it worked well for all of these years but I needed more control & customization and I feel as though Wordpress delivers that. Pretty excited to expand my horizons.See you all next week! xx
Favorite Dainty Rings
It is no surprise that I have a little bit of a ring obsession. I don't really own a lot of jewelry but I have noticed that I have a bit of a ring collection going on so I wanted to share some of my favorite rings with you.
When it comes to jewelry, or pretty much anything for that matter, I like simplicity and versatility. I want my rings to be able to go with everything and even though I like to wear a lot of rings all at once, I don't want it to look like I'm wearing brass knuckles. With that said, I am very happy with the collection I have so far. Here are some of my favorite/most worn pieces.
1. This is one of my newest rings and it has already become one of my absolute favorites. It is a signet ring with a G engraved on it and I wear it on my pinky.
2. One of my favorite stones are opal stones so I really love this dual ring which has a white opal stone and a black diamond on top, I love how unique it is.
3. I love evil eye jewelry but sometimes I feel like they could be a little over the top so I love how subtle this evil eye ring is compared to others I've seen.
4. Love the black diamonds on this ring. I actually got this one here but I don't see it on the site anymore but mejuri makes something almost identical.
5. I feel like everyone needs a dainty white diamond ring and this one is perfect by itself or stacked with others.
6. I've been obsessed with circular jewelry/accessories lately so I had to have this 360 ring in my collection, it is so simple yet makes such a statement.
7. Everyone needs the perfect stacking rings and I have these from mejuri. I have a smaller size for my pinky and a larger size for my other fingers.
8. This is my only midi ring and I love how I can adjust it to fit almost all of my fingers.
9.This is another one of my favorite stacking rings but I also love wearing this one on my thumb or by itself.
As far as quality, It comes down to how long you want your jewelry to last. I have dabbled in inexpensive jewelry purchases here and there and time after time the jewelry goes bad within months ( just my experience) so to me it is worth spending a little more on jewelry that is going to last. As long as you know that it is a classic piece that will not go out of style anytime soon or ever, I think it is worth spending a bit more.
