How to Look Fabulous in the Rain this Spring by South Florida Fashion Blogger, April Golighly
April showers bring May flowers. Being named April, I’ve heard this saying all my life. Spring is coming around the corner along with showers and flowers that go along with it. My theory is that if you must get wet, you should embrace it and look fabulous in the rain. That means taking off your leather shoes and high heels and throwing on a pair of beautiful rain boots like these quilted ones I got at Kohl’s.

J. Jill recently contact me to ask if I would be one of their influencers. Of course, I said YES! I love that J.Jill makes shopping easy for real women.

What to Wear to a South Florida Wedding
Most fall weddings in South Florida are on the beach and because of this your outfit options are much different than most places in the country during this same time period. I recently went to a wedding in Vero Beach on the beach in the middle of the Florida Winter. The fall and winter in Florida is much different than other places in United States by as much as 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The weather could be from 30 degrees to 80 degrees one day to the next. The good part is that you will not likely be dealing with a ton of rain. Rain is a summer occurrence as Florida stays mostly dry in Fall and Winter.
I recently met up with fellow fashionista and blogger, Aileen of Newsy Parents at Sage French Cafe in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Sage has a french winery interior with dark wood, exposed bricks and cranberry red accents. It reminded me of days gone by, when I spent the majority of my time studying in a french cafe in Miami. The French Cafe that I spent so much time in has closed. Since then, I have been searching for French Cafe to replace my old favorite. Sage French Cafe & Wine Bar fits the bill perfectly!
Palm Beach Fashions
Angela Moore epitomizes Palm Beach Fashion with her colorful hand painted jewelry, resort fashions and home accents. Her goal is to make everyday living an art and after spending some time in her stores, it is easy to see that she is accomplishing her goal. I felt like an art lover while walking around with the hand painted jewelry designed by Angela herself.
Pulling Them Off – Ted’s Red Boots
I get inspirations for my outfits everywhere I turn. Today’s outfit is inspired a scene in the hit comedy, How I Met Your Mother. In the scene, Ted is trying to convince his friends that he is “pulling off” his red cowboy boots. Ted says, “Pulling them off!” as he stomps his red cowboy boot on the coffee table. It is hilarious! Check out the scene below in the embedded YouTube Video. If you haven’t seen, How I Met Your Mother yet, I would highly recommend it, because it is really funny, well written, and mostly because it was given the time to be a complete show. So many shows are pulled off the air too soon or lose funding at the end. Even though, I have not seen the ending yet, I know based on the final season thus far, I will be satisfied by it. Very few network show endings really satisfy me.

Etiquette Boutique Fort Lauderdale
Bohemian is definitely not the first word I would think of to describe myself, but after looking at the 2nd definition, I would in some ways fit in with that definition. A person, as an artist or writer, who lives and acts free of regard for conventional rules and practices. Well, I do not act completely free from conventions, so let’s say, I’m a wee bit bohemian! I’ve been to Bohemia, does that count? LOL! Well, either way, you don’t have to be bohemian to pull off an awesome boho chic look.

Becoming an Expert at Accessorizing
Finding the right top, skirt, or jacket is usually the easy part of getting dressed. Selecting the perfect accessories is where everything tends to become a little more complicated. Those stud earrings, tattoo tights, and techno scarves may look great in the store window, but will they complete your outfit or get shoved to the back corner of your closet? While choosing the ideal accessories is an art, becoming an expert at accessorizing requires just a few simple steps.
