Beachy Things

I never came back to recap our mini-trip to the beach for Lil' Miss' spring break last month. So, here we are! Since I am still not working full time (so incredibly thankful for contract/freelance work!), and we have a friend's destination wedding coming up we decided to drive out to the beach for a few nights at Tradewinds Island Resort in St. Pete Beach and it was just what we needed. 




Welcome cocktails for us and a frozen mocktail for Lil' Miss before hitting the beach and the pool for the afternoon. As much as I love flying or cruising to new destinations, I also love being able to pack up the car with our cooler, beach toys for Lil' Miss, our beach wagon, and fun floaties. I picked up this glittery floatie right before the trip, and it was perfect for the relaxing waves in the Gulf.

That evening we all put some Kenny Flowers on, and headed out to dinner by the water at The Toasted Monkey. Little did we know that the restaurant we chose had just reopened a few days before after major damage from recent hurricanes. We were so happy to help support a local business that was sidelined for a while due to the storms.

The next morning we went to Tiki Bagel for breakfast before heading back to the resort to spend the day in the water. The coffee was delish and so were the bagel combos - Lil' Miss loved her kids bagel with Nutella and bananas.

These Boots Were Made for Walking

...and that's just what they'll do. Festival and concert season is officially here, and that means long days on our feet, dancing, exploring, and chasing all the good vibes. If you're pulling out your favorite pair of boots, it might be time to refresh them with high quality insert replacements. These Ugg Insert Replacements will give your shoes new life with plush support that feels like you're walking on clouds no matter how long the encore lasts.

Whether you're rockin' cowboy boots at a country fest or combat boots at your favorite rock show, your feet deserve a comfort upgrade. I can't believe I used to wear flip flops to all day festivals - my feet hurt just thinking about all the walking and of course dancing! 


What shows do you have currently lined up for this spring and summer? We are hoping to check out Morgan Wallen (Lil' Miss will be over the moon to see him!), The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, and also thinking about seeing Chris Stapleton later this year at the Hard Rock Live. And I wouldn't be mad at seeing Metallica again - they were incredible live!

Spring Lately

Are we really halfway through April already? Sheesh! Easter is less than a week away, and Lil' Miss has about a month left of the school year. Time I've asked you very politely to please slow down. We've just been enjoying all things spring over here, and all the fun groundbreaking florals and colors.

Last weekend we mostly laid low, and enjoyed the pool and cooking on the grill. On Sunday, we headed out for brunch at one of our favorite local spots and it did not disappoint. Always delish!

This weekend we squeezed in a quick date night, and treated ourselves to happy hour at a new to us steakhouse. Have you noticed most places have cut back their happy hours and they end at 6:00 instead of 7:00? Love when we find places that still have happy hour prices until 7:00. A discounted martini and flatbread was the perfect way to ring in the weekend.




Cutout Maxi Dress




Bonus points when you find a Saturday or Sunday happy hour! The Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar has a daily happy hour from 3:00 - 6:00 which is perfect for a pre-dinner cocktail on a Saturday afternoon/early evening. 



Sunday was relaxing, we streamed church online and got things done around the house. I also scooped up what I could off my wish list from the Target x Kate Spade spring collab. I was so sad that the darling pieces I saved for Lil' Miss were sold out right away, but was happy to find a few items I had saved prior to the launch. 



This adorable shift dress is perfect for all things spring and summer, and I can't get over the scalloped edges. So cute! I was very happy it was still available with most of the collection selling out super fast.



Kate Spade always has the prettiest entertaining pieces, and these dinner plates and salad plates come as a set of 4. I couldn't resist - LOVE the pops of green against the black and white patterns. 



And there is even a taper candle set to match! (They also come in a pink, orange, black and cream color combination if that's more your style.)


I've set alerts for certain pieces if they happen to come back in stock - I'm eyeing the cheeseboard set, the drinkware set, the citronella candle, the ruched linen tank top, and some adorable pieces for Lil' Miss. Swoon.

Spring Things

Well hello spring! Lots of seasonal fun happening over here including wearing all the pretty green shades for St. Patrick's Day celebrations and a short trip to the beach for Lil' Miss' spring break) will recap our beach trip later this week).

When you're donning green for a local St. Patrick's Day festival AND your favorite food truck is there you are smiling from ear to ear! Seriously the BEST pretzels!

I may buy mostly organic food and nitpick food labels, but seem to have no problem ordering a green food coloring beer on St. Patrick's Day. It's all about moderation folks. 






I also had a fun at a local photo shoot to promote the Titanic exhibit in Orlando. It's always fun to meet other local models and see some familiar faces as well. Adding in one of my favorite stories to rabbit hole information on is just a huge bonus. Always mesmerized by the Titanic.

Spring Style, Sips, and Bites

Spring is almost here, and I'm excited for more light in the evenings, upcoming travel, and of course spring and summer fashion. I'll take a sundress and sandals any day over bulky sweaters and boots. 


Maxi Dress {Only $20 and available in 6 colors} | Wedge Sandals | Necklace | Cuff Bracelet






Boyfriend Jeans | Slingback Heels | Camera Bag {available in 4 colors}




My nails are also ready for all things spring - St. Patrick's Day (hello green!), groundbreaking spring florals, a spring break trip, and of course Easter. I've raved about this press on brand as they are the only ones that not only apply easily (no glue, just peel and press), but last for weeks. Yes, you read that correctly - weeks! My Christmas nails lasted all throughout December, and my Valentine's nails lasted most of February. This set will be perfect for the next several weeks.
