Fashion Bloggers For A Cause Miami - Photographer Alexander Tamargo

I was recently approached by fellow Miami blogger, Annie of The Fashion Poet, to be part of a really phenomenally fun project: Fashion Bloggers for a Cause.  Highlighting breast cancer awareness month (October), Fashion Bloggers for a Cause is a campaign that features a group of Florida bloggers wearing the same t-shirt, styled their own way.  The shirt is being sold through local boutiques and online.  Proceeds from the sale of the shirt benefit the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation.  Information on where you can buy the shirt and for a full list of the other participants of the project, please click on the link below.

OOTD: Badgley Mischka & Gilt City Miami 2012

  A couple of weeks ago I attended the Gilt City Miami warehouse sale and snagged this backless Badgley Mischka dress. It was the second thing I grabbed (the first was a love-at-first-sight brocade and purple metallic thread Valentino cropped blazer that was todiefor but was also $500+ and so was left for someone else to take home). 

It kind of reminds me of the blue flight attendant outfit that Britney wore in her Toxic video, right?

I totally love it.
It's from the Resort 2012 collection and apparently it's supposed to fit a tad more loosely than it does on me, but you gotta take what you can get at a wild sale!

...And the best part:

Christian Dior Haul - Vintage Jewelry Edition

The most delightful surprised landed on our doorstep a couple of weeks ago!
I should preface this by saying that there are a lot of fashionable ladies in my family.  It seems like we generally love stuff.  My aunt, in particular, has a love and affinity for collecting baubles.  She collected costume jewelry through the 90's focusing primarily on her favorite brand of the day: Christian Dior.

Then, out of the blue, she sadly developed a skin allergy to any non-precious metal!  All of her favorite pieces had to be put away and saved for a rainy day.  Boxed away for years, the trinkets were forgotten, until the day she moved out of her house and found the boxes again.

Knowing how much I love this kind of thing, she was so, so gracious, and one night, dropped off the most fantastic stuff.  The pictures do not do these guys justice. At all.

How lucky am I? 

Do you have a favorite piece of jewelry that was gifted to you by a family member?
