The Bachelor Season 16 - Season Finale

“I’m a good person, and good things happen to good people.”


Cheers! Ben Flajnik’s season of The Bachelor is over!!! I feel as though Ben & Courtney have just punked all of America. The joke is on us America, that’s for sure. Here I was watching two hours of the most un-eventful Bachelor season finale ever waiting and hoping that the After the Rose special would make it all worth while, boy was I wrong. What a huge disappointment that was. The only good thing about last night is that we don’t have to be subjected to Ben’s hair or Courtney’s facial expressions anymore. It’s almost unfitting to even call Lindzi a “runner up” because let’s be honest there was no competition. Courtney had the ring and the final rose in her back pocket since the first episode. We basically knew that, no surprise there. I was waiting for something more, something juicy! Maybe something like Ben saying “since watching the show I see what a monster Courtney is and I regret my decisions”. Then maybe begging Lindzi or Kacie B to take him back, but no, none of that happened. How disappointing. Ben & Courtney are still engaged and Courtney is still stunning. You never know these two might even make it work. They claim to have broken up for a couple weeks, during which Courtney tried on some wedding dresses to distract the viewers from the pictures of Ben kissing other girls in magazines. These two think they are so smart. There you have it; I find no reason to summarize all the events of last night's finale. If you would like a summary here is Chris Harrison's Blog. There’s also this interview with Lindzi that I really enjoyed reading. I love how Lindzi always takes the high road; she has so much class, a true lady. In the interview you will read that when Lindzi said “call me” after Ben dumped her, it was meant as a joke, but it got edited to look like something else. Those ABC producers are the worst I tell you!!! Always trying to fool us.






After everything Ben saw this season he has become re-engaged to the black widow Courtney, what happens now is his own fault. I am thinking they will probably stay together for a couple more months, at least until Emily Maynard’s season of the Bachelorette starts. Everyone will then forget about Ben and Courtney, and when the cameras stop taking Courtney’s pictures, and the magazines don’t care about her anymore she will end it with Ben and everything will be ok in the world again. Thank you to everyone who went on this TV journey with me, and read my posts every Tuesday. I really do love watching these Bachelor & Bachelorette shows, but even more I love writing and talking about them with my friends and readers.

To my girlfriends that come over every Monday to enjoy The Bachelor with me thank you! Bachelor Parties are my favorite thing ever! I look forward to our helichopter ride over the Alps of the Swiss Mountains! HAHAHA!

what i wore

 forever21 dress similar here and here. shopbop necklace (sold out) similar here and here. j.crew skinny belt see also similar here and here. KORS michael kors "korey" sandals.






Here are the outfit details from my recent feature on Ohh Snap, KarGar's Blog. This blue dress was a must for one of the outfits because I knew the blue color would pop in photos, and it did. While driving through Miami's downtown Karla instantly knew she wanted to take the photos with this beautiful building as the backdrop. Throughout the whole shoot we kept thinking we had been transported to a street in New York City. The close by construction workers, that were watching the whole shoot, made the New York City feeling complete. Karla did such a great job capturing my classic ladylike style with an element of fun and laughter, it's hard to pick just one favorite.

Ohh Snap by Kar Gar

Ohh Snap by Kar Gar
I recently did a photo shoot with amazing Miami photographer Karla Garcia "Kar Gar" for her "Ohh So Sartorial" special blog posts. We had the best day where I got to play dress up in some of my favorite looks and Karla and I went all over Miami shooting the different outfits. I have known Karla for years now, we went to the same college and were in the same sorority (Alpha Xi Delta), we even played in a kickball league together. When Karla asked me if I would pose for her I was more than flattered, especially considering I had already been wanting to ask Karla to take photos of me. She is without a doubt Miami's number one up and coming fashion photographer, as her work has been featured on Refinery29, Miami.com, and the New Times, I cannot wait to see all the places she will continue to go. Visit her blog to see the rest of the looks and much more!

work look

 
I Heart Ronson for JCPenny blouse. Zara trousers. Christian Louboutin heels . Marc Jacobs "Blake" handbag (old). Betsy Johnson double wrap necklace (old) similar here. Ray Ban aviator sunglasses




  
   




































This outfit is a variation of what I wear almost every day to my actual day job as a realtor. As a realtor I don't have a strict dress code and it's really up to me how professional I want to look. I like to keep my daily work look pretty professional but with an element of fun, I am selling houses after all, and I can’t be too stuffy. I hope you enjoyed this peak into my daily 9 to 5.
