What I Wore: Impromptu Getaway

Although my week had a lot of high’s, there were quite a few low’s as well. It was stressful and I was pretty sure the end was nowhere in sight, so when the light that was Friday evening strolled around, I was ready to just relax. I had mentioned on Facebook that I wanted to lay out on a beach and do nothing, but I knew that wasn’t going to be possible. I had a lot of things on my agenda for the weekend, basically leaving me no time to just sit back and relax so I decided to take things into my own hands. Sometimes what you really need to do is cancel all your plans and take an impromptu mental health day. And I did just that.

I grabbed the hubs, we piled into the Cube and we made our way down to The Florida Keys. It was a gorgeous day, and we spent it admiring the scenery, looking at boats we will never be able to afford, drinking girly drinks (yum) and eating seafood (lobster to be exact – double yum) while ocean side. It was a beautiful and perfect escape – I highly recommend doing the same every now and then. Life is too short to not sit back and enjoy it sometimes.

We had two very amazing house guests over the weekend, so you are going to have to forgive me this week. In fact, you may know them! Have you heard of the little blog they call The Great Discontent? If you haven’t, definitely check it out. It’s a very inspiring little spot on the Interwebs run by a truly fabulous couple.

Blog posts may be a little anemic, but I promise the quality will make up for the quantity!

It’s a nice day for a…wet wedding!

I hope you all had a really great long weekend – I definitely did! I was the maid of honor (please don’t call me a matron) in one of my closest friends’ wedding at the beautiful Addison in Boca Raton. I had a great time laughing uncontrollably at ridiculous google searches, watching hilarious youtube videos and singing Disney songs as we got ready for the big day. Although the day turned rainy right before the event was slated to begin, everything worked out fabulously. My friends looked so happy, we were with so many special people and there was so much love in the air. I hope it was everything she ever imagined and more!


Our bouquets were made of paper! Amazing, right?
