Missing Miami







This time last year I could wear tank tops and cut offs with sandals. I miss Miami but am excited for Snow. Will it? Rumors say maybe this weekend!! Other excitements in the air: beautiful packages on their way to me via Forever 21, Urban Outfitters and Topshop. I love goodies by mail, especially before Christmas!

Ps. I am on the hunt for the perfect black fingerless gloves. Any ideas!?



Nine West tank. diy cut offs. Bare Style knee socks. A Daisy Chain Dream Unicorn necklace. Vintage bag. Glaze sandals.



I felt the warm embrace through your comments and feedback on my Seth Cohen outfit. Thank you. ;)


*Congratulations again to the Coach contest winner!!!*
-and thank you to all who entered.

Loving the sandals. Miami does sound nice this time of the year, but snow is even better.

Jacqueline said...

These photos make me wish I was in Miami right now. Growing up in North Dakota made me hate snow =( xoxo

You definitely have to try Sock Dreams for fingerless gloves!

I've ordered 2 basic black fingerless gloves about 2 years ago and I still have them. They've kept me so warm.

And even more socks; knee highs and thigh highs too!

you are incredible Erika! I love those socks and your shoes make me very happy for some reason lol

I really hope it snows where you are so you can take loads of amazing outfit photos in the snow.. winter wonderland :)

As for the gloves: why dont you just buy a pair of normal black gloves and then DIY them into fingerless gloves...?

otherwise there are some leather ones here:

those shoes... so cute! :)

Sasha said...

I love this outfit!

Jennifer Fabulous said...

Those rainbow sandals are ADORABLE! I love them. To pair them with knee high socks was a brilliant idea. I might actually have to copy this look if I find the right sandals. ;)

Oh gosh, snow. I spent most of my childhood in Tampa and I miss it b/c of the snow here (Missouri). Haha.

Megan Cassidy said...

Normally in NC when the weather man says it is going to snow it never does...but it def did this time!!!! I hope it snows on Christmas. Love your outfit by the way, very cute!

Studded Hearts said...

I wish I had long thick hair like yours. Your braid looks so good.
Why doesn't mine ever look like that? haha

Aw but trust me after a few snow days and Christmases in colder weather the humidity of Miami will be long gone from your mind ; )

You are the cutest thing since those tiny purse perfume samples. ; )

Cafe Fashionista said...

Those knee-socks paired with those cage sandals are absolutely fabulous! Love your style, Erika! I've seen some amazing black fingerless gloves at Shopbop.com and Free People - you should maybe check those places. Fingerless gloves = love!!

It's funny you mentioned that...I think it feels strange to type my name to someone else, as well - the same spelling and all!! :)

What influences your song picks?
And what shorts did you use for the diy?

Call Me Cat said...

Your hair literally grewwwwww out so much in 1 year! Congrats. How much like 6 in"? I wonder if Alexander Wang has seen it? If not, damn doesn't matter 'cause yours is better than the runway's version anyway. The only one rivaling yours is @ Miu Miu but hell, those are extentsions HAH! So, you win! ;)

Any more snow? Saw yout Tweets last night talk about m a g i c a l ! ;)

Love those sandals and socks as a sexy combo, you wear short shorts amazingely well.

*hug* Hope your nostalgia goes away *tear*
I have bought stockings like yours for a friend for Christmas! She will be even more excited about them hearing that the fabulous Erika from Fashion Chalet wears them! YOUR Christmas surprise is on its way too, BTW!
I SO hope it will snow in North Carolina, snow is awesome. Here it's been snowing for days, and I absolutely love it. Winter just isn't right without snow.
When shopping for fingeless gloves, you ahve a pretty wide area of choice, because fingerless gloves just ALWAYS look good. I would go for something simple black or grey though, to pick up on a biker theme. Or black and dark grey striped?
Are these old pictures from Miami or did you take them now?

(always)alanna said...

love the color pop; and agree to the missing miami part- i LOVE miami!
