We're taking it slow, Miami and I, since my heart belongs to NYC. But we're reconnecting like old friends and I kind of like it. Just don't try to make it out with me. That'll be weird.

Welcome to Miami.
We're taking it slow, Miami and I, since my heart belongs to NYC. But we're reconnecting like old friends and I kind of like it. Just don't try to make it out with me. That'll be weird.

White Girls CAN Jump.
Here's a double dose of big hair and jumpsuits.
I love the way this aztec print jumpsuit fits on my frame. I like the ruffled strapless cut that shows off my collarbone. And I like how the legs on the suit go from the right amount of looseness to tailored at the ankles. This cut works really well with cute sandals, like these gold gladiator ones I picked out. If the legs were wider, I would have opted for a wedge or even a platform heel.
I belted it right at the waist to break up the pattern as to not cause dizziness.
On Me:
Jumpsuit- Forever 21
Bib necklace- Forever 21
Gold sandals- Enzo Angiolini
Braided belt- Forever 21
Hair by: Emiliano (Warren Tricomi Salon at the W Hotel)

And the Arm Candy keeps Getting Sweeter.
And just when I think I can't house a new addition on this very unevenly tanned arm, the bracelets part like the Red Sea and make room for one more of their kind - Like this circular zodiac gold stunner by Gorjana & Griffin. It's my sign- Aquarius.
What makes this bracelet extra special, is that it was a gift from my 'Best Friend Since 2000'. Like two silly boy band tweens, Javy and I have exchanged countless friendship bracelets, pendants, and fat jokes. And that's why I love him so much.

One Person's Trash is Another Fashionista's Gain.
I've never met a closet I couldn't conquer. Call me neurotic or obsessive compulsive, but helping friends clean out, organize, and coordinate their disheveled frocks into something that makes sense is my guilty pleasure. The only payment I require besides orderly bliss, is a bottle of wine and my pick of any discarded garb from the 'No' pile.
Such was the case with this secret garden inspired linen blazer. I walked away with this floral find after cleaning one of my dearest friends' closet (she was one of the most rewarding closets I ever had the pleasure of bringing back to life, which translates to four garbage bags of donations). It is such a fun piece that can go high or low. I love the way it flows with this lace skirt, a black and white graphic tee and my moto boots. I mean, these boots should might as well be sewn to my feet, Peter Pan style. I added this fierce heavy gold necklace and my quilted Chanel handbag as my bad ass accessories.
Some other outfit ideas with this blazer off the top of my head:
- paired with leather leggings and a solid colored muscle tee.
- over a lace ivory short, midi, or maxi dress
- jean short with black opaque tights, a white tank, and a leopard scarf
On Me:
Floral linen blazer- Urban Outfitters
Graphic tee- Forever 21
Lace skirt- Ann Taylor
Boots- Steve Madden
Gold necklace- Zara
Handbag- Chanel

A Starry Affair!
Let's talk hair because a dress like this needs an equally stellar updo and who better than Emiliano at Warren Tricomi at the W South Beach to create this hair-raising bouffant. It was the epitome of glam. I kept the makeup simple with a red lip and minimal eyeliner.
The snakeskin handbag is from a Vintage store in New Orleans. The art deco chandelier earrings are from J.Crew and a gift from Coco. The five inch heels are Guess. And thankfully, I still have all my toes (I think).
On Me:
Dress- Kate Young for TARGET
heels- Guess
bag- vintage
earrings- J.Crew

So Clutch.
Can I get a what what! for my totally fabulous clutch/crossbody purse I snatched up at H&M?! The goldware is insane.
'X' marks the spot.
Spotted: The view from the top. These polka dot leggings kept me nice and warm in the NYC cold. And these Aldo booties are butter on my feet.
On Me:
'X' sweater- Forever 21
polka dot leggings- Forever 21
Clutch- H&M

A Vintage Throwback in Coral Gables.
Melissa Perez, from Simply Captivating, did an incredible job of capturing beautiful images of our family and I am so excited to share some of my favorite shots from the shoot. But first! Let's talk outfit.
I love lace details. And I love a lace dress. I found this short stunner for $10 at H&M. The black motorcycle boots gives the flirty lace a dash of street cred. I absolutely love the jeweled headband worn on my forehead. It gives off a 70's retro look that's very free spirited.
My flawless makeup was done by none other than Jessie from Makeup Artistry by Jessie.

Flower Bomb in Wynwood featuring Maya Buccio.
Let's start with this fabulous Harajuku Mini floral tutu from Target. My mother in law bought this for Maya before she was even born. This kid was rocking stylish duds before she even made her debut. The pink cowboy boots are so girly and sweet!
I'm currently obsessed with mixing leopard and florals. For this look, I paired my leopard Christian Louboutin peep toes with my H&M floral leggings. Want to see how we paired the rest of the outfit? Just scroll down!
I paid homage to my city with this 'New York City' tank top and an off white blazer.
Maya is wearing a denim button down from H&M.
My best accessory isn't sold in stores.
I've been dying to try the floral headband trend I've been seeing in magazines and window displays for some time now and I finally bit the bullet. I spent a mere $6 on this Forever 21 headband and in return, I felt ethereal. This was a fun trend to pull off! Don't blink, or you won't catch a glimpse of my owl ring!
On Me:
Off white blazer- Urban outfitters
NYC tank- Forever 21
floral leggings- H&M
leopard heels - Christian Louboutin
Statement necklace- Ann Taylor

Rent the Runway...over and over again.
Never has such a brilliant idea come around that has taken the fashion industry and millions of women's checkbooks by storm. The brainchild of two NYU grads, Rent The Runway is the answer to looking luxe for less. Why didn't anyone think of this before?!
Gone are the days of splurging big bucks on a designer gown for a festive occasion. Times are tough and spending has been curbed. But that doesnt mean style and the latest spring collection needs to be sacrificed.Rent the Runway will be your new best friend. Trust me, it's mine. I cannot tell you the last time I actually purchased a dress at a store that I would only wear only to later spend the rest of it's existence collecting dust on a plastic hanger in my closet.
With the click of a button, RTR allows you to get that Carlos Miele gown, or Dolce and Gabbana cocktail dress you've been eyeing for your best friend's wedding or an upcoming fashion week soiree, for a fraction of the wholesale price. And when I say fraction, I mean it. You can walk away with a dress for less than $75! No fine print. Best part is that after your 4 or 8 day rental, all you have to do is put the dress in a pre-paid padded envelope, drop off at the nearest blue mailbox and voila! You are set.
Availability and selection is error proof thanks to a calendar that first allows you to enter your rental date. You can further narrow your search by selecting a specific size, color or event theme. And it doesnt stop with the dress. No ladies, there is more! You can also rent accessories like Dannijo earrings, Judith Leiber clutches, and Ted Rossi cuffs. Styling from head to toe! Fierce.
Seems like every designer is on board for this saavy dress renting trend and why shouldn't they be?! The time is now for the frugal fashionista!
Which brings me to my featured look! I rented this stunning red and white Halston Heritage dress for a bridal cocktail party and it was the talk of the town. I love the way this dress flows and to accentuate my waist and break up the pattern, I added a black braided belt and turquoise jewelry (earrings and ring) to give it a burst of color. Red and Turquoise compliment each other beautifully. My hair deserves its own fan page. The superbly talented Emiliano from the Warren Tricomi salon in Manhattan and Miami Beach created this braided updo to go with my Grecian inspired look. I kept the shoes simple with gold gladiator flats.
On Me:
Halston heritage maxi dress- Rent the Runway
Braided belt- Forever 21
Turquoise earrings and ring- Banana Republic
Gold Sandals- Enzo Angiolini

Well, Style Me Pretty!
Now, I love dresses and I especially love to pair these feminine frocks with motorcycle boots. And as you make your way through this blog you'll notice I'm very faithful to my boots. My boots and I are one. I really do love adding a hint of toughness to something girly. It's usually how I see myself and it comes across in what I love to wear. So for this photo session, I paired a mint green maxi dress and a coral blazer from Forever 21 with my Steve Madden Troopa zip up motorcycle look. I have to tell you, cherry blossoms and motorcycle boots make a good team. Lindsay loved my look so much, she wanted to photograph each element of my outfit.
Well it also happened to catch the eye of one of my favorite blogs, Style Me Pretty. Our cherry blossom session with Lindsay was featured on their site! It's always a nice treat to be recognized for your sense of style and this was truly a collaborative effort! They even included a "how to get the look" section for each of our outfits. What a fun honor!
Check out the link on Style Me Pretty and keep strolling down to see some of the beautiful photos by Lindsay Madden photography!

Introducing...The Freshly Squeezed Fashionista!
Hello my fun, fearless fashionistas!
Many of you have been following my fresh and frugal fashion posts on Instagram and I can't thank you enough for it! I've decided it was about time to do a blog as well. I mean, what was I waiting for? So alas, I have arrived!
Just some cliff notes on who I am, what I do, and what I love. I was born and raised in sunny Miami and moved to New York when I was 20. And I fell in love. With the city and with my better half, Coco. I began a career in television, covering the entertaining world of celebrity and fashion and feel so blessed to get to work in something that I absolutely love to do. How many people get to say that? Then in between our many NYC adventures, dinner parties, and red carpet crusades, I became a mom to a very miniature fashionista named Maya Buccio and I fell in love all over again. Then as life would have it, it was time to say 'see you later' (because it's never goodbye to the city we call home) to the Big Apple and 'hello again' to the sunshine state- city of palm trees, breathtaking beaches, and cortaditos. And here I am! Ready to share my fashion closet and some other things I love- like food and books- with my new friends (that's right, I'm talking to you!)
Because 197 posts, might be a little time consuming to update on the blog, I've gone ahead and picked some of my favorite looks to dissect and share. This is going to be fun! Sleep? Who needs sleep!It's for the birds! Not this mom. I plan to churn out a good chunk of these with the help of two espressos and lots and lots of Downton Abbey to keep me awake and alert.
So grab on to your heels and let's get this fashion road trip kicking!
In Style,
Kat
