A couple of months ago, Mom and I were out on the town for a girl's day at the Metropolitan Museum and decided to venture into a few stores to browse around after the museum. Of course, browsing turned into shopping as soon as Mom pointed me in the direction of this piece! I was immediately attracted to the abstract floral-like pattern and bright colors. The piece also reminded me of my sequin flower heels I purchased in the Spring.

Mom and I went straight to the rack and to our surprise this dress was not a dress but a romper instead! Can someone say magical!!!! We were already sold, then we noticed more magic in the form of pockets ! The deal was signed, sealed and delivered on the spot. Well, a card was swiped and a receipt was delivered!

Hi Darlings! I had an activity-filled day on Sunday starting with a quick SoHo stroll for burgers, fries and rice pudding, a trip to Coney Island for some fun in the sun and snow cones, then a Soca party where I danced the night away (until I got really sleepy at 9:30pm, lol)! What a day, what a day! 

I also posted a handful of vids and pics of my day on Snapchat and Instagram (IG stories too) so be sure to follow along for all the fun! 

It's no secret, I love summer days and more importantly I love to let the girl in me play! I think it's so important to schedule consistent play days in your life, especially as women.  A play day is simply that; a  special time dedicated to having fun in a child-like manner. We can get pretty busy with our grown-up lives and never imagined the independent, stay up late, do whatever you want adult life would entail not so glam activities such as feeding yourself, waking up early to get to work or paying many adult bills. I strongly believe in taking a break from a busy lifestyle to do something you enjoyed as a child. Sometimes I color, ride my bicycle or produce a full-fledged music video in my room to Beyonce's Ego. This "music video" usually involves sequins, heels, a scene rolling across the bed with me singing, "I got a big ego, such a huge #RetroAlterEgo! I walk like this 'cus I can back it up!"  It's my time to relax and be silly. 

Speaking of egos, Mildred (my #RetroAlterEgo) decided to do a little playing herself while at Coney Island! Click through to see her latest threads and how you can recreate this retro play-day look for your next summer outing. 

Hello darlings, I hope you're having a wonderful week and getting ready for Flamingo Friday! While it's not Friday just yet, today we're celebrating Pink Flamingo day with this edition of Style & The Bar Cart! You're probably thinking a Flamingo enthusiast would make that up but a single Google search will prove that Pink Flamingo Day exists and we should always trust Google. Even if the day is not official I still choose to celebrate because how could one not big pink emoji heart this gorgeous bird.

I recently shared my daisy craze here with hopes of you joining the bandwagon!  If you haven't already; now's the time. After putting together the roundup, I gave you a sneak peek of my vintage daisy accessories on Instagram and today I'm sharing a look that incorporates those pieces. I went for 50's retro style with a 2016 modern twist. You know how I get down!

Hi everyone! If you live in the US, I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend! If not, I still hope your weekend was filled with adventures. The weather has warmed up nicely in NYC and all I want to do is be outside.  I attend a brunch even this weekend and decided to share a few snaps of my look. Click below the jump to see more of how I styled this dancing emoji red dress!

Last Summer, I took a trip to a quaint little town called Doylestown in Pennsylvania and came across this wonderful vintage shop.

I never got around to sharing the trip with you so how about we invent throwback Tuesday (does that already exist?) and take a stroll down memory lane together!

While traveling back from Cartagena, we stopped in Miami for a couple of nights because there was a terrible snow storm in NYC. I checked the weather for this weekend and it's suppose to snow (insert crying emoji face). I'm not sure if the snow will turn into rain this weekend but it was very cold all week to the point where we had to whip out our puffy coats and boots again. It's April and all I can say is "Winter to be gone!" I'm ready for sunshine, crisp air and fragrant flowers. 

If you're feeling the chill and want to warm up, reminisce with me and take a stroll with Mildred along South Beach wearing some of her wardrobe essentials. I've linked to a few options for you because they're not your typical "essentials" lineup ;)

It's been three months since my Cartagena vacation but I'm still reminiscing about those beautiful sunny days strolling through the city. I wrote about my trip in two parts  (1 & 2) , covering many of our activities as well as the delicious food we ate. Today, you're in for a treat because I'm sharing a vintage meets modern look, how you can re-create this look and images of a very sweet gelato shop we visited.

Valentine's Day is this Sunday and 'A Sunday Kind Of Love' has been stuck in my head all week long. I love Etta James' music and think this song is perfect for our upcoming day celebrating love.  Etta's music spanned several genres including blues, soul, rock and roll, jazz and gospel and she had a way of making it her own.

See how Etta's music inspires my Vintage Valentine look.
