she leaves a little sparkle wherever she goes

Have you ever been gifted something and as soon as you open it, it’s like love at first sight?! You instantly get this rush of excitement, but don’t want to be so extra and dramatic so you play it cool, but deep inside you’re like a 10 year old screaming of happiness?! Maybe you had to play it cool because you were gifted this item at a restaurant or by someone special. Well that’s what happened to me when I was gifted this beauty. As soon as I pulled it out of the bag my heart skipped a beat (I’m lying, I had a mini heart attack). I was shocked that someone that knew me for such a short time would know that this dress was so me. It had my name all over it. Was it just a coincidence? I don’t know, but still too shy to ask. It has a few of my favorite things…. Read More…

{ you want it, I got it! }

{ Dress || Denim Jacket || Bag || Sandals || Lipstick }

The Pete’s, Sean’s, Ricky’s and Malcolm’s may come and go, but your friends, if they are good ones- they stick around forever so keep ’em. So scratch all the exes, it’s next like contestants and invest in your girlfriends! Can you guess which song I’m obsessed with as of lately? Ariana Grande’s new friendship anthem “7 rings”. If you read my latest blog post, (Been through some bad sh!t, I should be a sad bitch) I couldn’t have done this last life season of my life without my sisters and girlfriends so a Galentine’s date with the besties is a must this year! Any guesses on what I’m giving them? A ring, duh! Read More…

Hi fancy friends,

So today is an exciting day for me. I’m relaunching my blog! Some of you may not have noticed and others message me over and over again about why I’m not blogging anymore. So here it is. We are all leading different lives, all with a story to tell. We all have a reason for being where we are at in our lives so here is my reason. I don’t feel the need to come on here and explain to anyone, but I also want to be very honest, authentic, open and transparent with you and those that have cared to ask.

{ huge summer try on haul video }

Hey fancy friends!

I was made for summer days! This is my favorite season of the year. Yeah, it’s a really hot and sometimes sticky and sweaty, but not gonna lie, I love it! I love all the vibrant colors, the happy vibes, the long days and all the fun pool, bbq and beach parties! And of course, all the shopping. For some reason, this season inspires me to shop. I feel inspired by all the colors, prints and cool trends that summer brings. I like the easy, breezy outfits. High slits, cropped tops, the showing of the legs and all the fun accessories. Summer is my jam! So I went to Forever 21, H&M, Target and also picked up a few things from my store Fancy Boutique and wanted to share it with you. I got sandals, accessories, athletic wear and vacation outfits that can be mixed matched for brunch or any day event to a fun night out. The best part is that they are all under $40 dollars outfits. Isn’t that great?

Hope you enjoy this huge summer try on haul video!

Thank you for stopping by and ill catch you on my next post!

{ meet my Mary Poppins bag! }

I’ve been on the go, go, go lately and this precious bag has been everywhere with me. Meet the POPPINS bag by JEMMA. This is the second bag I have from this brand (remember this post and this one?), I love their stuff! Named after Mary Poppins – POPPINS was inspired by the Mary Poppins’s Magic Bag (we all need one of those and now you can have it!) a bag that is versatile, practical and at the same time truly feminine with just the right amount of gold details. Side note: I loved that movie when I was little!! Anyone else? I’ve carried my black Poppins bag from job interviews, meetings, to showrooms to purchase new merchandise for my store to a weekend getaway! The smooth Italian leather allows the structure of the bag to maintain its shape no matter how stuffed it is, and only God knows how much stuff I put in my bag. I need to always have my desk planner, laptop, notebook, camera, make-up bag, water bottle, a few more necessities and the fact that the shape doesn’t change means the bag always looks and sits pretty. This bag is perfect for professional settings like meetings and interviews to a more casual setting like weekend getaways. Read More…

{ Cropped Sweaters }

Miamiiii it’s time to warm up! I can’t wait for the warmer sunny days, because I must say that this feels like the longest winter season we have had in a while. I know that many of you don’t consider 75 degrees cold weather, but it is for Miamians. Ha. ha! This look that I’m wearing here is one that I have been rocking either paired together (repeat offender) or separate. This cute tie up cropped sweater is a fave of mine and pairs well with skirts, pants and denim for a more casual look. Now let’s talk about these Steve Madden boots. Don’t they look like the Christian Louboutin So Kate boot version? Not sure if its the height of the heel or just the shape of the front of the boot, but I sure do feel very sexy wearing them!

{ Fall “IT” hat }

Baker hat, cabby hat, newsboy hat… regardless the name, it is the “IT” fall hat. Every blogger, designer and influencer is rocking the “IT” hat. It has a cute puffed crown and a partially elasticized back which fits pretty much everyone while keeping you warm. I’m obsessed with this accessory and think everyone should be too. You can find them pretty much at every store and in every type of material; velvet, corduroy, leather, pleather, fur, wool and the options are endless. If you’re like me and love to play with trends, then you must get yourself one. Read More…

{ Fall in love in Burnt Orange Blooms }

{Photography & Videography : Vanessa & Johnny}

Hey fancy friends! I just got back from Bimini, Bahamas yesterday morning and I’m a tad sad. My love grows a little fonder every time I visit this beautiful island. I have been there at least 6 times and as I had mentioned on my IG (@AFancyAffair), there’s always a new experience, new adventure that makes me love it a little more. I just got home and I’m ready to go back. I will be sharing a vlog and a little more about it sometime this week so stay tuned, but in the meantime, let’s talk about this gorgeous look. I was up north of Miami sometime last week and stopped by The Galleria at Fortlauderdale. I’ve been there before and always make it a point to shop a little when up there. I picked up a few key pieces that are a must for fall at the Express store, FreePeople and a few others. What I love about The Galleria at Fortlauderdale is that it has some of my favorite stores, all under one roof. You can shop for some luxury pieces and some more affordable brands. This look is one of the dresses I found and fell in love with it. The low V detail in the back is just perfection. It exudes sexy without being trashy. You know what I mean? The colors are so fun yet deep enough to be worn during fall and the scalloped trimming is adorable.

What are some items that you’re currently digging for fall and winter this year? Read More…
