Hi Everyone,

Today, I'm sharing some looks that were inspired by my latest inclination towards flannel. Flannel is often confused with plaid. There are, in fact, several paid patterns. Flannel refers to a soft cotton or wool fabric, woven together with the purpose of keeping one warmer than a typical button down. You can find flannel shirts for a good price at any of your local thrift stores. Or, like me, you can raid your brother/husband/father's closet and borrow  their flannel pieces! I also created a video to give you a visual with a bit more movement. Check out my video HERE.

Hi Guys!

I just uploaded a video about my recent Fall thrift haul. I am also talking about some items I pulled out  of my closet!!

XOXO,

Ker-Leen

Our baby boy is finally here. This pregnancy and subsequent birth have been the greatest occurrences in my adult life since my wedding day. I've learned so much about myself, the world and life in general. I now hold my baby boy in my arms and I am in awe of the miracle that is pregnancy and childbirth. God has been so faithful to us and our family now feels complete. This post is dedicated to my angel baby, Korbyn. Wish you were here with us, but we know you are in the hands of God. Thank you for making a way for your little brother. I love you.

This look I styled for a fabulous girl, on the run.  In the video I paired this casual dress with a black blazer and flats. Casual does not have to be drab. You can look cute while you check off items on that errand list, too!

I love how effortlessly glamorous this royal blue shift dress is. It has gorgeous "scrunch" detailing that is flattering on the curvy figure. I kept this look really simple, because the dress speaks for itself.

Hi lovely people,

I instagrammed a picture of this look and got so many compliments that I decided to share it on the blog.

I've also just posted a brand new fashion video featuring some of the looks I wore while in Miami.

Believe it or not, this dress only cost me $2.50 from Salvation Army!! When I saw this dress, I fell in love. After washing it, it looked as good as new and absolutely fabulous!

This clutch is an old purchase. It makes appearances when I need something  small, neutral, and sophisticated. :)

My shoes were purchased from Target on clearance for only $9.88

Mingling before the fashion show starts. :)

MY EXPERIENCE


The Good

For one, the whole concept of MMIFW is innovative. Showcasing fashion designs from all over the world is a wonderful opportunity for cultural enrichment.

I also loved the staff. The front desk staff greeted my husband and I warmly at the VIP reception. Although our press passes hadn't been printed up, we had no problem getting in, redeeming our drink passes and mingling with the other VIP. During the first night of the fashion shows we received our press passes at the door and were escorted into a huge atrium, normally a South Beach club during  business hours.

The Bad

Although the Miami Beach backdrop was the perfect setting for this fashion week, it lacked the style and elegance that it should have had.

One of the things I didn't like was the fact that the runway wasn't properly lit. It was hard to see the details on some of the designs and even harder to capture them on camera (hence, the lack of pictures on here).

In addition, the music that was played on the runway had vocals, and derogatory vocals, at that. The music traditionally played during a fashion show has minimal vocals, that are barely noticeable so as not to detract from the models.

I felt the music was so distracting it took my attention away from the designs. This was the 2nd annual MMIFW, so I will give the event coordinators the benefit of the doubt.

All in all, the fashion week was enjoyable. I believe that if they work on the finer details, this can grow to be one of the biggest events in the South Beach fashion community. I had so much fun in Miami  and made some great connections, so my trip was definitely worth it.

XOXO,
