Confession: I'm a serial over-packer. My motto always is, "when in doubt, pack everything!" But sometimes even I have to surrender my suitcase and settle for a carry-on.
The key to lighter luggage? Pack mix & match pieces in the same color palette. For a tropical weekend getaway choose sassy cropped tees, boyfriend shorts and knit cover ups in neutral colors to accentuate your new tan. Toss in a floppy hat and a pair of jeweled sandals and you'll feel like a total diva while sipping on your skinnygirl margarita poolside.
FASHION FLASH!
Try It On | Go wild!
Perhaps it's because my mother has adorned my house with every animal print known to man, but I absolutely adore leopard print! From pretty ballerina flats to a luxurious scarf, it's a fun accent that can make even the most boring of outfits pop.
Unless you're Bobby Trendy, you can never go wrong with the classic spotted print. From the runways to the racks, lately it's been splashed on everything from booties to bras. The globally chic trend has left the fashionably fabulous seeing spots!
Get the Look
Forget a safari-- take a walk on the wild side of the beach in this VIX "Sky Bikini". The aqua cheetah print is oh so sassy, and at $59 (for both pieces!) it's just the right price. Hurry on over to Swirl.com before the sample sale ends this Friday, 4/30.

Budget Babe: Zac Posen for Target
The much anticipated Zac Posen for Target collection hit the racks yesterday. There aren't many things that can get me out of bed early on a Sunday morning-- except for a fabulous new designer line at one of my favorite stores! Mr. Posen surely didn't disappoint.
After memorizing about every look in the collection, I dashed in to Target at Dadeland Station at 10AM. Though they didn't have the entire line, there was a substantial inventory of some of the best pieces. (No swimsuits at this location.) After snooping around a bit, a little birdie told me they will probably be receiving additional pieces early this week. Check out my twitter page for a narration of my adventure.
With prices ranging from $16.99 for a fun tank to $199.99 for a hot red leather moto jacket, Zac Posen has designed an edgy yet feminine collection that fits in every stylista's budget.
Runway vs. Real-way | Major platforms
If there's something I know, it's shoes. Being a petite fashionista, and dating a guy that's tall enough to take on D. Wade, I always have my eye out for shoes that some would consider hazardous to your health. Shoes like London-based designer Charles Anastase's wooden super-platform. You have to be one brave babe to take a walk in these stilts.
Luckily, pint-sized diva and Price of Beauty star, Jessica Simpson, has brought us a more reasonable interpretation of Anastase’s design-- for under $100!
Jessica Simpson ‘Dany’, $98
Available at Macy’s or JessicaSimpsonCollection.com
Charles Anastase Platform SS09
With a 5 ½ inch heel and a whopper 2 inch platform, this shoe brings you closer to heaven in every way. The wooden heel is right on trend for spring, making this sexy sandal versatile enough for jeans or a cocktail dress. Be prepared to turn heads, ‘Dany’ is not for the timid—or clumsy.
