The City Slicker

By Rebecca Fernandez

Ciao Firenze!

I read countless articles to try and prepare myself for what I was about to be doing, but nothing could compare to the incredible experience I am having in Florence! It now has only been a week, but I feel like I have embarked on one of the greatest journeys of my life.

This video is a little recap of our first few days here. Starting with our flight to Europe where we got delayed in Dusseldorf for 8 hours because of a snow storm, to moving into our new apartment which is more like a penthouse!

While you’re all reading this, I’ll be getting ready for my first school day to start off the semester…yikes! I could not be more excited for the next five months, and I can’t wait to share every minute of it with all of you!

Ciao Miami, Hello Firenze!

Blog Voyage Abroad

Happy New Year everyone! I’m so grateful for all the experiences in 2014, and for each and every one of you who have been a part of my journey. I truly hope that 2015 brings us even more happiness and experiences! But it’s a New Year, so it’s time for New Adventures… Ready for the surprise?!

For the next five months, The City Slicker will be traveling throughout Europe! I will be studying abroad in Florence, Italy! Get ready for beautiful pictures, mouth-watering food, and European style!

Hang on tight…. Catch Me If You Can!

P.S. The City Slicker will still continue to help catch everything otherwise uncatchable in Miami, but during this time it will be through the Mini City Slicker’s eyes! Make sure to follow our mini account @minicityslickers to stay up to date with everything Miami has to offer!

Happy One Year To The City Slicker

This weekend we celebrated the One Year Anniversary of The City Slicker! This past year has been absolutely amazing. I discovered my passion for writing and entertainment reporting, I met the most inspiring people, worked with tons of successful brands and companies, and all in all have had the best experience in every aspect.

To celebrate all of The City Slicker’s success, we had a party with everyone who has been a part of the journey! You can see ALL the pictures from the night on The City Slicker’s Facebook! Oh! And I want to give a special thank you to three companies that made the night even more special…

Miami Balloons & Signs

Thank you to everyone at MBS, especially Edwin and Ana, for everything you always do for The City Slicker! The step-and-repeat was perfect!! And the Instagram cut-out was the best prop of the night.

NYC Fall Guide

This past weekend, we had a girls only NYC trip! All the women in my family spent four days in the city all together! And as many times as we had all been to New York, this weekend we found our new favorite little spots that made us fall in love with the city even more!

1. The Chelsea Market
The Chelsea Market is an enclosed urban food court, shopping mall, office building and a great hangout area in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York Cit.There are over 35 different vendors of food, shopping, bars and sweets! This place definitely needs to be on your next New York trip itinerary if you haven’t been!

2. Highline
What’s prettier than Central Park? A hanging Central Park! Yes, I said hanging. The Highline is a floating park over the Meatpacking district that replicates a section of Central Park. It’s absolutely beautiful and right next to The Chelsea Market! That’s a win-win right there!

3. Max Brenner’s
Chocoholics listen up! This is THE place to get chocolate. They have everything you can imagine with chocolate on it. If these pictures don’t make your mouth water and crave chocolate immediately… I don’t know what will.

Lace And LEATHER CHEETAH

Lace AND cheetah? YUP! Along with other animal prints, Cheetah is back! I got this new look from OHM BOUTIQUE. When I first saw it on their Instagram, I knew I had to get it! It’s perfect for the Miami “fall” season. It’s a cute, sleeveless breathable dress that gives you the fall feel without the heat stroke.

Remember you can shop this style right here!
