The Jacket

January 18, 2018

There is just something about this jacket. It has been all over the internet for two years now, but I still can't get enough. I have it in three colors, red, navy, and gray. I wear one or two, every time I travel somewhere weather permitting. It's also my go to jacket whenever the Miami temp dips to the 60s. The burnt sage is front runner for my next, if there is a next, but in the meantime I decided to browse the web to discover some new found beauties in addition to this favorite jacket of mine. I am on the hunt for the next near perfect weather transitional jacket. One that is perfect for Fall to Winter and Winter to Spring. Maybe, that is why I love this jacket so much, after all. It works for majority of the year! Let me see if I can find something even greater... xo RCN

Sweater Weather

January 11, 2018

Who knew it would be cool enough to wear sweaters this past week in Florida?? Not me, but I'm not complaining. It gave me a chance to pull out one of my favorite newbies from Zara. The knee highs? Also, something I haven't had a chance to wear, besides the two week stint I spent in Jersey for the holidays. I'll take the breeze while I can. Shop the look below. xo RCN

Travel Made Perfect

November 14, 2017

I have lots of visits back home for the holidays and lots of fun family events headed my way. I am looking forward to some extra smooth travel to help me relax this holiday. The key to enjoyable travel is all about the airport outfit and the packing of the suitcase. This past weekend was our first stop of the season, home to NJ, and I gave it my best shot.

I decided to start and finish my travels this weekend in the most comfortable light knit top from Shop The Mint. Miami to NJ requires layers from start to finish. This top was perfect for the plane! It was both comfortable and stylish and easily paired with other comfy clothes like skinny stretch jeans and flat shoes/boots.

Tips 4 Travel

1. Wear your favorite stretchy items on the plane, like this oversized V -neck top. The stretch in leggings or a sweater may be helpful when reaching for your bag in the overhead compartment or if your chapstick goes flying underneath the seat in front of you.

2. Wear the same look 2 different ways. Swap sweaters and tops, but re-wear jeans to save on some suitcase space. Where your airport look to and from, but switch out for new shoes and a purse to give yourself a re-fresh on the way home.

3. Do wear easy slip on and off shoes to the airport. These Zara boots or Steve Madden slip on sneaks won't deter you from a speedy walk to the gate if your running a little late, and will be quite helpful for a quick trip through security.

4. When packing your suitcase, ROLL! Roll any clothing items that you can. It will alleviate any unwanted wrinkles on knits, cottons, even denim.

5. Bag it! I never go anywhere without my duster bags for shoes and handbags. They keep the soles of your shoes as far from your clean clothes as possible and your nice leather bags from getting any unwanted scratches.

6. Need an extra purse? Okay, just pack one inside the other like nesting dolls. Will help on saving space, whether you place inside a checked bag or even a carry on tote!

7. Fragile items are best tucked within layers of your most soft and fluffy clothing items inside your suitcase. It helps to add padding for the bumpy road ahead.

8. Bringing along some extra special jewelry, but you're not exactly keen on wearing it through the airport or checking it? Keep them close by your side in a seperate mini travel bag that you can tuck inside your purse. That way you don't have the worry of losing it, if it's safe and stored away on your shoulder.

9. Bag what you need for "on the plane" separately within your carry on purse or tote. Lip gloss, headphones, gum, tissues, ibuprofen, credit card, book, whatever it might be. It will be much easier to settle once on the plane if you only need to remove one item from your carry on, rather than 10 separate pieces. Your seat mate will be thankful.

10. Pack your toiletry bag within another zip bag or something that will double prevent any spillage on your other items. I've made the mistake of shampoo and nail polish remover leaks - eek!

11. And of course, if you intend on doing some shopping while you're away...leave some extra space in any of your bags ;)

Calling All Boots

November 1, 2017

I am having major boot FOMO over here in Miami. I am counting down the days until I board my next flight to somewhere worthy of boot dressing. Hmm, only 7.5 days left and I need your help! Which boots to buy? I am in desperate need of a new pair and I just can't decide. I would love your input in the comments below, thank you!! xo RCN

Falling For A Tulle Dress

August 30, 2017

I'm over here dreaming about Fall finds and deals along with the rest of the fashion lovers out there, but there's only one problem - Miami doesn't do Fall! So, instead of a wool dress, I'll do a tulle dress! Something I miss most about NY is the Fall feelings of sipping a pumpkin spice latte while roaming the farmer's market with my leather jacket draped over my shoulders. Totally basic, and totally enjoyable. But, again, no room for jackets in Miami Fall. So, with the upcoming season approaching, I am going to find some dresses in fall colors, florals and silhouettes that come in mesh/tulle or breathable chiffon fabrications. It will help me get the Fall vibes going as much as possible, yet prevent me from breaking out into an intense sweat. Most of my favorite finds are all from Zaful and other sale sites. I want any extra spending money to go towards a trip somewhere that I can pull a leather jacket out of my suitcase and chicly drape it over my shoulders, whilst drinking a pumpkin spice latte! xo RCN
