Happy New Year!
We are more than halfway through January and I realized that I haven't done my vision board yet. I will get on that ASAP! In the meantime, I am excited for what's to come in 2018. New dreams, new focus, new stories, same goal to inspire women all over the world. I hope you find something that you love in our new arrivals.

Am I ready?
So it’s 2 days away from BlogHer17 and I am freaking out! This is my first blogger conference and I am so excited, a little nervous and well did I say excited? Last year my friend tried to convince me to go to blogHer16 in L.A. but I didn’t want to fly nor was I ready to take the official leap into the blogger hemisphere. Here we are a year later and I am taking that leap. (Yayyyyy) This morning I woke up questioning if I was really ready? Then came, what do I wear? Will I know anyone? Will I learn anything? Will they like me? Is this the direction that I want to go? What do I wear? Is this the right time? What do I wear? Yes I think I am obsessing a little too much over what I should wear. But really what do you wear to a conference with thousands of ladies? And shoes I need cute but comfy shoes for all of the standing around and mingling.
There is a crazy lineup all three days. And I got into the speed dating where it’s invite only and you get 90 seconds with some of the top brands. Yes I am freaking out. I am also really looking forward to seeing Chelsea Clinton and meeting Serena Williams. Yep, I am putting out into the Universe that I am going to meet Serena this weekend. I cannot wait to share my tips and meet all of the incredible women that will be there this year. If you are thinking about taking that leap and stepping out of your comfort zone all I can say is dive in. If you are waiting for the right time, guess what? There will never be a perfect time. #letsdothis
Fall Faves
Fall is here and that means we get to change it up a little in the MIA! It isn’t as cool yet but that doesn’t mean that we can’t start mixing the Fall trends with our South Florida weather. Here are a few of my must have Fall pieces that will keep you looking and feeling fly! (minus the cool temperatures)
Trending: Everything Denim
It’s all about Denim in Spring 2016! The runways, magazines and Instagram are overflowing with denim this season. From stilettos to bikinis, patched, whitewashed, distressed, shorts, bags, you name it. Mix your old favorites with a new pair of sneakers or perhaps a Valentino handbag. Whatever you decide, rock it with pride! Here are a few of our denim faves from Neiman Marcus! Shop
Hello 2016!
Hello 2016! I am so excited to see what is in store this year. Last year was pretty damn good and I know 2016 will be even better. I was talking to my husband and oldest daughter last night as we waited for the countdown and asked them if they had any new year’s resolutions. Both replied no, lol. It made me think of mine and if I should even have any. I decided to have a few personal goals but mainly to step back and enjoy everything that is in my life. The good and the bad. There really isn’t any bad, it is how we handle things when they don’t go our way. I read that life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it. This year and moving forward I am going to be more aware of how I handle things. Cheers to new beginnings and going with the flow! (most of the time) Do you have any resolutions for 2016?
Holiday Shopping Tips
Tips:
1. Make a list and stick to it!
2. Shop early to avoid overspending the day before Christmas.
3. Arrive to the store early enough to get a parking spot close to the entrance (Safety first)
4. Leave the kiddos at home. (Every year I say that I am not taking them and I always have to make a last minute trip to buy something and they just drive me crazy)
5. Have the bottle of wine ready! (No matter how much you plan ahead, wine is always good!)

Fashionista Friday
Here is a little secret. Whenever I have a party or last minute event I head over to Zara's. I absolutely love Zara's! You can find something for almost any occasion and most of the time it is under $100. My friends use to ask me, "Where did you find that", now they just say, "Oh you went to Zara's". Here are my top picks at zara.com under $100. Sometimes I can add shoes and accessories and still spend under $200. Don't even get me started with the kid's section. Try mixing in your Sporty Momma's tee or bling hat for a sportychic look! Happy shopping!
Black and White
I can't wait until Spring Break! Most of us will take a trip with the kiddos or enjoy a little stay-cation. I am looking forward to sleeping in and hanging out by the pool. Here are a few #SportyChic ideas!
Busy Bees
It is buzzing around our office today and we love it! There are so many great events coming up over the next month.
