How to Look Fabulous in the Rain this Spring

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.

Sage French Cafe

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!

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.

Pulling Them Off – Ted’s Red Boots

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.

Mom Fashion Problems Solved: Mommy Stylish Shoes

Mom Fashion Problems Solved: Mommy Stylish Shoes featuring Mom Bloggers, April Golightly and Melissa from The Eyes of a Boy.

I met Melissa a few months ago at The Mother of All Baby Showers and we just clicked right away. She has an awesome blog about raising her 2 boys called The Eyes of a Boy.  We were talking about the fashion problems that moms face on a daily basis. Wearing heels and running after kids is an art that celebrities make seem like the easiest thing in the world. Every time I saw pregnant Kim Kardashian in heels, I cringed. I tried to wear heels twice during my pregnancy and ended up falling both times.  Learn what shoes to wear so that you can keep up with your kids and look stylish doing it in our Mom Fashion Problems Solved video. The video is brought to you by my hubby’s production company, Sun Stone Productions.

Will Camouflage Replace Leopard !?!

Will Camouflage Replace Leopard !?!

Camo has become one of my favorite prints lately. I actually wondering if camouflage print will replace leopard print as the go to neutral print this fall. The print contains some of the same neutral color contained in leopard. Black and tan grounds camo as a neutral print the same way it does for leopard. Camo looks great with black, brown, and a wide variety of other colors, including, but, of course, not limited to yellow, orange, and pink.

Hashtag Jewelry  | TAudrey written by April Erhard, Editor in Chief of Miami Fashion Blog, April Golightly

How awesome is social media? As a lover of all things fashion, I think it just the coolest thing to be able to connect to my favorite designers and fashionistas on Twitter and Facebook. For example, I recently interviewed Kenneth Cole for South Florida Opulence Magazine and after that we started following each other on Twitter. It brightens my day when I see that my readers like something that I have written by liking it on Facebook, retweeting, and pinning on Pinterest.

Wearing eye glasses is finally a cool thing to do!  I remember when my parents would buy glasses for me that I would never wear because they did not work with my style. I would wear them in my house at night, but they never saw the light of day. Then, high end designers like Chanel started selling glasses and I spent a fortune on the first pair that I actually wore outside of the house. Now, stylish eye glasses are becoming more accessible with BonLook.
