What I Wore: Islamorada

So I know I mentioned that Key West was my favorite of the Florida Keys, but I have to say that I may cheat on it every now and then with Islamorada. You see, Islamorada is a short one hour drive from our house, and it immediately transports you to paradise. Bright turquoise water, waterfront dining and drinking, and locations with nothing but personality. Although I have many day time haunts on the island(s), my favorite place to go to once the sun starts to set is the Islamorada Fish Company. You just cannot beat the spectacular view and delicious food. Don’t be surprised if I end up back on this pier in the weeks to come.

What I Wore: Key West

There are very few places I love more than Key West. The laid back, beachy vibe suits me so well. The minute I arrive, I want to head straight to either The Green Parrot or Fat Tuesday, grab a drink infused with some kind of rum, and relax. There is no rush (only for your next drink), no place to be, no dress code. Oh, & it’s beautiful. Especially when the sun is shining and your friends are by your side. Is there anything better? I think not.

What I Wore: Lily Dawson

So, as you all can tell, I kind of like this blouse. Just a little. If I could wear it every day, I would. And I knew I had to recreate this outfit using it as soon as humanly possible. Of course, it helped that I added an extra special touch in the form of this gorgeous necklace from Lily Dawson Designs. The rhinestone necklace has this amazing ombre detail that makes it seem like it is on fire. I guess it lives up to its name, the Handpainted Flame necklace. Just call me Katniss Everdeen.

What I Wore: Easter Sunday

I hope you all had a great Easter weekend with those you love the most – I know I did! Although it consisted of a lot of work (man, I’ve been swamped lately), I was able to spend an entire day of quality family time, which was much needed. We even schemed some preliminary plans to head on another cousin adventure to Disney – watch out, Mickey Mouse! Don’t say I didn’t warn you….

What I Wore: DC

I’m baaaack! I had a fantastic time on our little vacation to visit our friend, Chris, in Richmond, which was the most adorable little city ever. I loved its vibe, and even more so loved the fact that so many restaurants were celiac friendly. I was in shock! It was a pleasant surprise. Over the weekend, we did a very quick overnight trip to DC, hoping to see some beautiful cherry blossoms and were a bit disappointed. They had not bloomed yet! However, we had the most wonderful time exploring the city instead! Everything works out in the end, huh?

With that said, I braved the elements (it was freeeeezing) to take these outfit post pictures sans coat/scarf. That’s how dedicated I am. 😉
