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.

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.

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.

Spring is that you?

With the impending arrival of spring comes all the travel and fun new fashion finds. My absolute favorite thing - travel! The insatiable desire to see as much of this beautiful world as possible is not fun when you're experiencing discomfort on a long haul flight, but SO worth it once you arrive at the destination. My perfect balance? A leg rest in premium economy and ankle support socks for targeted compression and support. And when premium economy is way over the budget, then the ankle support socks are the real MVP as the perfect remedy for basic economy. Arrive in comfort!

What else is going in my suitcase for all the fun spring and summer travel? Fun, bold colors like this hot pink midi dress that I wore for a belated Galentine's Dinner at one of our favorite restaurants Sixty Vines for bites and bubbles.

That weekend, H and I headed out for a quick date night which ended up being our last outing before Flu A hit our home and we've been hunkered down ever since. Some delish TexMex at a new-to-us restaurant called Superica and a nightcap at the Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar were on deck. The island vibes were in the glass only due to it being a super chilly night (for Florida).

Game * Set * Sip

I am officially hooked on playing pickleball! Lil' Miss and I checked out a new outdoor complex nearby, and I was recently invited to check out a new indoor facility down by Disney World called Crush Yard Orlando. It still has that brand new smell and is such a pretty spot! 10 indoor courts so you can play rain or shine (and in the air conditioning!), a full bar, arcade, self service taps, and an impressive food menu to keep you fueled during or after playing.

It was the day before Galentine's Day so I donned my two tone pink set from the Ashley Snell Collection paired with my favorite new sneaks I got from Santa.

We also had a pizza date to try out Detroit style pizza for the first time at SoDough Square. Let me just say YUM! I am hear for the cheesy and crispy edges. We started off with salad and crispy wings, and every last bite was amazing. I was also here for the ricotta whips on top of the pizza!

If you've been around these parts for a while you know I'm not a big Valentine's Day person, but love making a big deal for Lil' Miss. She and I decorated a mailbox for her valentines at her classroom party, I made cheese fondue for dinner, and picked up an order from our favorite local ice cream shop of their Valentine's ice cream cupcakes for dessert.

Over the weekend, we met up with friends to catch up at a local brewery and I was beyond excited to see my favorite food truck out front and quickly grabbed one of their incredible Amish Pretzels. SO good! I promise we do more than just eat, but all of the deliciousness in this post was worth documenting.
