Outdoor Movie Night

This past Sunday marked the chilliest South Beach has felt in a while. I was headed to an outdoor movie with my girlfriend, Colleen, so I happily pulled out some extra layers and, finally, put on some booties that are not open toe. My Toms booties have a super soft foot pad on the interior, which makes them great for walking.

One of my absolute favorite trends for 2017 is "The Brooch". It's not just about pins like the ones you see at Urban or other fast fashion stores, it's all about beautiful, ornate, bejeweled, and intricate pieces of art that accent your clothing. This jacket from Topshop (few seasons old) was screaming for a little pop on the lapel. I was giddy to pull out my vintage toucan brooch. Though, I am more bundled than usual in Miami, I still love adding tropical touches to my look. It feels appropriate with all the palm trees and lush green surroundings. I found this piece at a small antique store in Old Quebec City. I am partial to vintage animal brooches- my fav! 

My ripped denim is also a Topshop find. The Leigh fit is my go to jean. Before walking out the door, I grabbed my J. Crew Edie bag to contrast all my neutrals. Sadly, this bag is no longer available at J.Crew, but you can still find a few colors on Poshmark, or shop The Cambridge Satchel Company for a look alike. 

Oh, and we saw "Amy", the documentary about Amy Winehouse. It was rather sad, but very well done and insightful. If you are a fan, or even not, I recommend! xo RCN

New Jacket, New Shoes, No problem

Santa treated me very well on Christmas. Two of my favorite additions to the closet pair perfectly together. That is a double win. Zach surprised me with an insane pair of Gucci boots, which look fabulous with my new BLANK NYC red suede moto jacket, from my In-laws. I fell in love with the jacket last year when I received a navy blue one for my birthday. I loved it so much, I just had to have it in another color. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention another favorite Christmas gift. Zach gave me a gold "Z" Chloe ring that I have had my eye on. It doubles as an "N", which works out quite well considering our last name is Nord.

Still no snow in Jersey, so the jacket and fancy/wild boots worked out well for a lunch date with my friends and an afternoon shopping with my SIL, Courtney. I still have hopes for snow before next week. Seems like chances are slim, but fingers are still crossed. xo RCN

Some Sun Before Snow (I Hope)

I am not bragging that it is still 85 degrees in South Florida. I am actually a little sad I am missing out on the snow and scarves elsewhere in the country. I am truly looking forward to heading up North at the end of this week. Though, I figured before I go, why not enjoy the sun and tanks, and wear a few true Miami looks before I go. I love how comfortable and cute this Topshop dress is. The ruffle and embroidered florals are everything. I found it at Nordstrom and could not, not, have it. I paired it with my Gucci gold Webbys, Chloe clutch, and some fabulous vintage gold lion earrings (from the Lincoln Road Antique Market). Now, let's hope it snows when I go to New Jersey so I can start changing up the wardrobe!! Fingers crossed.
