I’ve lived in Miami for 10 years and I cannot believe I JUST went to my first NBA Game!

I know it can be tempting to watch from home but the energy in the American Airlines Arena is absolutely electrifying, and it feels great to root for your city.  Plus, you never know if you are witnessing a history-making slam dunk in real like. It can be a fun-date with your boo or a fun time with your friends!

I love how sports can bring together groups of people no matter what! While planning to go with a few friends, the girls had no idea what to wear. This got me thinking  “ok, I have to do a ‘what to wear to an NBA game’ . These types of articles were always my favorite to do when I started blogging because I love talking about real situations, real tips, real fashion, real girls! 

It’s time to show your TEAM SPIRIT

You don’t necessarily have to wear your team’s jersey but come on, it’s the perfect time to do it and wear it proudly (either if they win or loose!). 

For the two looks I’m showing you, I’m wearing the Miami Heat NBA Women’s Jersey. I thought it would be fun to show you two different ways to style it. Either with a cute pair of distressed boyfriend jeans or as a dress if you are feeling a little girly.

Stay COMFORTABLE- preferably in Sneakers

I love heels, but it’s time to have the time of your life (and I don’t know about your local stadium but the stairs at the AAA are steep and scary when wearing heels!!).  So rock your favorite pair of sneakers to a ball game. Here I’m wearing the Nike Sportswear's Air Force 1  and I’m loving them- so comfortable and FULL of style.

Talking about comfort, bring a small cross-body bag. It will be easier for security and you will only carry what you really need; aka, your cellphone, credit card, ID, and emergency cash!

ADD GLAM/FUN DETAILS

Bring a denim jacket, a bomber, or a leather jacket. It adds another fashion layer to help you show your style. Sometimes it can get a little cold inside but if you are too excited jumping around for your team, you can always tie it around your waist.

For that full sporty look, add a baseball cap! Extra points if it’s suede or velvet!
Don’t be afraid to wear your fashionable glasses, these clear aviators are always a great extra touch!

What would you wear to a basketball game?
Let me know which of the two looks is your favorite.

Thanks to Nike & Reward Style for partnering with me in this post. Thank you all for supporting the brands that keep Nany going.

I absolutely love partnering with Hanes for their #BeComfydent campaign because I truly believe that you can achieve anything when you are confident + comfortable.  Your attitude changes, your looks shine even more, now the confidence comes from within (literally and figuratively!!).

Today I’m really excited to go back to my roots and do a little REMIX with probably the most versatile piece of clothing a woman can own: a white shirt. My go-to for ultra-light cotton tee is the Hanes Nano-T® Crew Neck.  I love the sleek fit, it’s very flattering in all silhouettes!  I always get it in size Medium because I like a little of an oversized fit.

However, even the softest shirt needs the perfect bra- together it’s a super power duo of COMFYDENCE! I’m always looking for support, shape, and comfort. So let me share my favorite:The Ultimate Perfect Coverage ComfortFlex Fit Wirefree Bra. I have it in black and nude- but I find myself wearing the nude more often, especially with my favorite white tee.

Let’s get started! 

Unconsciously (or sometimes consciously), we are always rating and comparing each other in “numbers”. I’ve been treated differently for having 200k followers and I’ve been treated differently for JUST having 200k followers. That number doesn’t instantly tell me someone's journey, it doesn’t tell me their hard work, how humble they are, or even their talent.  I’m extremely thankful for every person that follows me, but the goal should never be the FAME! You are more than a number! 🖤🖤

You know when there is that moment you find a new brand, and  you feel absolutely everything  fits your style. Well, this is what happened to me when I found k/lab. All the pieces are gorgeous, fun, fashion-forward…and don’t break the bank! 

Since I shot these looks last week, there are already new pieces that I want to get- like this gingham off the shoulder dress or this gingham wrap skirt (give me anything with this print for Summer!!).  This is because new looks from k/lab hit the racks (and website) weekly! Check out the widget below for some of my favorites…and take advantage of the stewed promotion- details below!

This year’s Miami Spring has been more than perfection- breezy days and some chilly nights. I’m always excited to layer: adding this sheer lace top to this denim midi dress is the best way to elevate the look. I also can’t wait to wear the denim dress with booties and a red bandana.  Another piece I’m obsessed with: this clear bomber jacket. It’s the perfect mix of sporty, edgy, and cool.  I paired it with a color block slip dress and sneakers…but this dress would look amazing for a night out with some killer heels!

I love January, it’s the first chapter of new beginnings. I love setting goals and really pushing myself to achieve them. Last year I started working out, I went above and beyond my goals and I worked out at least 5 days of the week- the whole year! (yes, I’m proud).

Reason why I’m excited to partner this new year with JCPenney to get in the mindset that being active doesn’t mean fitness, it’s a lifestyle…you can be active in your everyday life- it doesn’t matter if it’s a hardcore HIIT class or if you are walking the dog for 30 minutes. Your body will thank you; even if it’s just  for 10 minutes, your body will thank you…#SoWorthIt.

To stay extra motivated I got some fun workout pieces from JCPenney- there were many affordable on-trend items but I went for some colorful leggings, matching sportsbra and shoes, and a cool sweatshirt that says “This is what Fierce Looks Like”. All these pieces worked perfectly from the gym to a casual run around the park. JCPenney is continuing its partnership with the YMCA. This January, become a new Y member during Jan 15-31, get bounceback JCP coupon on Active/Xersion!

While in Ecuador, I basically lived in my brother’s gym (yay to family businesses). I did as many classes as possible. My favorite was the Functional Gym, my body was so sore the day after…I think it still is. My Active Goals for 2017 is running the extra mile (literally and figuratively). I want to push myself; lift more, run faster,, become stronger.

What’s your active goal for 2017?

You, by know, probably notice how much I love this skirt. I've worn it twice already, which means it is ready for a REMIX this wednesday. During the day I worn it with sneakers, I love how such a statement piece can be toned down for a casual look. At night I switched to heels and it was a perfect date night outfit.

I have a feeling I will still wear it a lot... so let me know in the comments how would you wear it! XOXO

Como ya se podrán haber dado cuenta, AMO AMO esta falda. Ya la he usado dos veces, esta es la tercera. Esto significa que ya esta lista para un REMIX- estén pendientes de este miércoles. Este look me encantó como se veía con zapatos de goma ya que es la manera perfecta de hacer una pieza tan de noche una de día. Pero cuando anocheció, me cambié los zapatos a tacones y fue perfecto para un par d eventos.

Se que la voy a usar muchas veces más así que cuéntenme como la usarían ustedes. ¡BESOS!

When I travel and I'm packing, I try to write down certain outfits....this one was definitely not in my list. I brought that dress for a another jacket and the varsity to wear with jeans. That day San Francisco was hotter than usual (but it was chilly during the day). So this combo ended up being perfect for the day...to walk around comfortably .  We headed to Downtown San Francisco and it was so beautiful. Can't wait to go back by the end of the month.

Cuando viajo y estoy empacando, intento anotar todos los outfits que tengo en mente para que no se me olviden. Este fue totalmente improvisado, este vestido lo lleve para usar con otras piezas, y lo mismo con la chaqueta y los zapatos. Ese día hizo más calor de lo esperado, pero igual algo de frío en la mañana y noche....haciendo de este look perfecto para nuestro paseo por Downtown. Los zapatos son comodísimos, ya los habían visto en otro post. Justo a finales de este mes regreso a San Francisco y ando super emocionada.

San Francisco is such a gorgeous city; I’m absolutely in love with its architecture, with the parks in every corner, the delicious food, the weather …<3

We heard that the Golden Gate Park is even bigger than Central Park in NYC; reason why, when checking it out, we decided to rent a bike. We found a little bike shop two blocks from the park (hey,  those hills are steep- the closer to the park , the better!!). There are so many attractions to see from the Japanese Tea Garden to De Young Museum and the Conservatory of Flowers. So we hopped on our bikes and try to visit everything we could.

Fashion-wise,  I’m obsessed with how the weather allowed me to play with layers- and Gabe was so excited about being able to wear long pants and long sleeves ( The Miami heat barely let us!). But the true must-have for exploring San Francisco was this pair of Brooks Heritage sneakers. I’m wearing the Medalist Chariot in a fun red/black combo and Gabe is wearing Academia Fusion in the perfect shade of burgundy. The Chariot style pays tribute the running shoes of the eighties- I love how Brooks Heritage celebrates the history, heritage, and spirit of the run. While it was worn with leg warmers back in the day, this casual lifestyle shoe is extremely versatile. Here I’m wearing them with leather shorts, a plaid shirt around the waist and a military jacket. I also wore them with sweatpants and a jean jacket to the airport; and even with a striped dress and a varsity jacket…..they go with everything.

After biking a couple of miles, we stopped at a vegan place and had the most amazing beet burger. We were amazed by all the organic vegan places in San Francisco…Miami definitely needs to take some notes. We walked around some more, exploring new cities is the best…as long as you are wearing comfy shoes! <3

San Francisco nos dejo enamorados. A mi personalmente me encanta su arquitectura, los parques en cada esquina, la comida es deliciosa.. y por supuesto: EL CLIMA.

Habíamos ido que el Parque Golden Gate es hasta más grande que Central Park en Nueva York (parque que aunque he ido muchas veces me sigue impresionando por lo grande que es). Así que decidimos alquilar una bicicleta en un lugar pequeñito a dos cuadras del parque (¡No me juzguen, pero es que esas colinas son tan inclinadas que entre más cerca del parque mejor). Hay tantos lugares por ver adentro del parque...desde el jardín botánico japonés hasta el museo De Young y un Conservatorio de Flores. 

Hablando de moda....yo estaba fascinada que el clima nos dejaba jugar con capas- y bueno Gabo estaba era contento de poder usar pantalones y camisas largas (cosa que en Miami nunca puede). Pero el verdadero esencial para explorar San Francisco fue nuestros sneakers de  Brooks Heritage  . Yo estoy usando el modelo "Medalist Chariot" en rojo con negro y Gabo está usando el Academia Fusion en el borgoña más lindo del mundo. El Medalist Chariot  está inspirado en los zapatos de correr de los ochentas.  Viendo los modelos me parece muy divertido que cada uno de los estilos está inspirado en una década pero hechos para que sean modernos, cómodos y versátiles. Aquí los estoy usando con unos shorts de cuero, una camisa de cuadros a la cintura y una chaqueta militar. También los use con sudadera y jeans para viajar...y con un vestido de rayas y una chaqueta para un toque deportivo.

Después de manejar un par de km, paramos a comer en un sitio vegano y nos comimos la hamburguesa de remolacha más deliciosa que hemos probado. Esa fue otra de las cosas que nos encantó de San Francisco: la variedad de comida orgánica y vegana...Miami debería seguir ese ejemplo. Caminamos muchísimo...de verdad que visitar nuevas ciudades es increíble- especialmente si estás usando zapatos cómodos <3

There was a moment when I used to get a lot of request for "remixes" with shoes, bags, and even accessories.  Here are some of the other shoe remixes I've done, check them out:

Remix: over the knee boots
Remix: lace up heels

I've slowly reduce my shoe and bag collection to very versatile pieces...and these Nike sneakers are a must have (a great option is also the Adidas Superstar). The obvious way to wear them is to work out(like the extra option I added as #5), but I love how they look with dressier looks..or just to run around errands (like #2!).

My favorite look is definitely #1 with the camel coat. Which one is yours?

Hubo un momento donde me pedían muchísimo que también hiciese "remixes" de zapatos, carteras, y accesorios. Ya he hecho un par de zapatos. Les dejo abajo los enlaces para que pasen a verlos.
- Remix de botas arriba de la rodilla.
- Remix de tacones de tiritas.

Hoy continúo con un remix de estos zapatos de "hacer ejercicio' de Nike. Por supuesto la manera obvia de usarlos es  con ropa de hacer ejercicio...pero como pueden ver, los he usado para looks diarios y cómodos. Con la tendencia de "Athleisure",  los zapatos de goma se han visto con una cantidad de looks glam...y se ven hermosos.

Mi look favorito es el del abrigo de camel. ¿Cúal es el tuyo?

I've been wearing sneakers and tanks more than usual (well, most of the time you can find me in my PJs or workout clothes…without the working out part haha). I guess I'm so exhausted from working on my thesis that my mind is not working in a fashion-y way. The good news: I present my thesis in 3 days and I can go back to reality. But the best news is that my thesis has to do with you ALL and it's been a way to organize me in a business way. So get ready for more and better content by June!! btw I'm on Snapchat as @danidaniramirez :) XOXO

Ultimamente ando en camisetas y sneakers todo el tiempo. No se si es el cansancio de tanto trabajar en mi tesis que no me deja ni revisar mi closet bien jaja.  Las buenas noticias: presento en 3 días y ya mi presentación está lista…solo tengo que arreglar un par de detalles.  Pero la mejor noticia es que mi tesis tiene que ver con ustedes, y ha sido una manera de organizarme y ponerme metas para traerles mejor contenido y seguir creciendo juntas. ¡Les mando un mega abrazote!! Y recuerden que ando en Snapchat como @danidaniramirez. BESOS.
